Content is in bad shape
-
@Ericulous1_XBL The problem is that they are trying to toe the line between casual players and the grinders which is too wide for a middle ground. They should have shorter programs for casual players while keeping team affinity a significant, but rewarding grind. I thought we had that this year. Then, they chickened out early and basically just handed it to everyone.

I agree with the post. There's not much good reason to do stuff in the game right now. If you know how to turn on your Playstation and you don't choose to play NCAA, you can basically have a team of 99s. They badly need a Team Building or Salary Cap mode where you get rewarded for having collected all these other cards...so that you have a place to actually use the cards they give you. Also, yeah, why the heck would you just basically stop Team Affinity and end the rewards in that path at the all star game?

@Dolenz_PSN I also am an old man and am still hoping for an amazing shark week map. The year it first dropped was the best week of DD ever.

You're all saying the same thing without saying it. The streamers ruined this game.
-
They do release good content in spurts but if you play every day even for just an hour, you breeze through. That why I keep harping on Team Affinity. It’s a ton of content that you can take your time with. The voucher system just blows that up completely
-
Some things take way to long and other take no time at all. The content itself that they have dropped actually isn’t bad. The cards are fun and dope. They just need to find the medium on time/money spent and it’s good. First year after a while back from sets so give them a sec.

Disappointed in no retro allstar or home run derby cards....I'm into the game for retro players and they promote more active players. Just very disappointing. Perhaps it will pick up, perhaps not

I could sit here and complain all day about this game but content isn’t an area I would even bring up. I think the content has been fine and more than generous as far as online sports games go.

but less than generous compared to some recent versions of the game
I decided to sit this inning out, and maybe the next one too, to let the content catch up a bit.

@Teak2112_MLBTS which games? That’s very vague

2023 version of the game had much more content than 2025.
And while it had issues with card quality as program cappers, the game was just more rewarding to playHere is what you would get for every run of the season 3 mini season (all star time, so comparable to the current one) after the first:
The standard 15 packs/ballin
Instead of 1k stubs you get 8350
15,000 xp (towards much better wheel spins then we get now)
an additional 11 show packs, 1 ballin, 1 headliner
And lots of vouchers for TA progress
And those were less rewarding than some of the other types of mini seasons since TA progress was the main drawThere were probably 3x as many free cards that year. Chase packs were less frequent. Headliners were better quality, but the game gave more stubs to buy them with if you really needed. Collection cards were able to be gotten without any use of stubs if you wanted to do all the content, but you could use stubs if you wanted to skip some of the programs or events/br/ranked. And you could get the card you wanted most (like Chipper Jones) fairly early in the season since it was a choice pack.
Also theme team captains were commonly recycled, most big card types had captains, and they did the gimmick captains as well (Cal captain with 99 durability cards is kind of amusing now considering how much the idiots on streams make durability 'jokes' the entire time)
All they need to do is go back to 2023 model of content, tweak the program capper cards a bit, make sure repeatable pxp missions are always a thing, and replace expiring cards with a salary cap type of mode to make lower overall cards desirable while still allowing day 1 99s that can be used all year if a person really wants
