Putting Wagner behind a collection is atrocious. Just when I’m enjoying the game you remind me of why I get sick of it.
I love the game and love MLB but this nonsense with collections is ruining my love for this game

Absolutely! How dare they have collecting in a game revolving around baseball cards!

@nymets1987_PSN It’s always been a big part of DD. Collecting baseball cards is kinda the point. Maybe this game or at least mode isn’t for you.

Yes cause in real life I collect cards then get a free card for doing it

@dbub_PSN I agree, I can't understand why it has to be in sync with the ceremony ending. Just release it or wait until Tuesday and release it at the normal time.

Dolenz suggested in the other thread it could be because MLB doesnt want the cards released before, they do have the plaques on them if they stick with that card type. Makes sense to me.
Better Sunday afternoon than Tuesday, but they should have had a retro HoF program with the inning drop.

I would love to see Ichiro added back but honestly no idea if they will. Guess ima have to wait and see later or something lol
Something going on with the Japanese players.
They couldn’t show the Ohtani/Suzuki ASG cards on socials and didn’t show the Lee Giants Color Storm either.

@dbub_PSN they’ve been doing the same for weeks. Their goal is $$$, but the SDS defenders in these forums act like lawyers. They don’t have accountability.

It really is pathetic how the SDS Fanboys defend everything they do. And then more evidence comes out every single week until we now have a mountain of evidence that SDS is going way more for profits than they ever have before.

Wagner and Allen are acquired by getting every collection of a player completed lol makes sense
-
You did a great program to earn Beltre and forget the other one last year and players loved it but this year your like .... players like what we did last year giving ALL the HoFers to them through programs but this year. Nope let try and get stubs from them and be greedy --
I am going to have to seriously consider removing this game off my PS5 -- You do not learn
-
Outfield assist program on the calendar now. There is the Acuna card people are wanting.
I'm possibly done this year, unless they put out a great TA round before finest. I'm just not motivated for collections and programs with only 1 or 2 players

As somebody who is often accused of being a Fanboy, and much worse I would just like to point out this post by me from over 2 years ago.

Pay to win is never the proper term for this game as having better cards guarantees nothing if you are bad at the game.
But that being said, I am baffled if people really can't see how much more aggressively they are pushing monetization, especially stub sales this year.
- Reduced Stub payouts for playing
- Reduced Stub payouts in moments.
- Reduced/delayed Stub payouts in Showdowns.
- More "No Sell" cards than ever before in program rewards.
- A new 50K pack in the store twice a week to get players to gamble trying to get a 99.
None of it is required so it is not pay to win but they are all measures to try and convince players that it is just easier to buy stubs in the end.
So there's a part of me that just shakes my head now when people act like this is something new. Its a path they started a while back so I wonder where everyone was back then?
But what do I know, I am just a Fanboy.

Call that a day folks … Got 99 Batista and made 800K today selling of all the cards I did not have to lock in (including 99 Marte) …
And seeing the renewed and boring „pay to win“-comments … Folks, until now: Not a single flip (meaning getting more than 1 card to make profit off of it) … Bought the cards low to play with them, sold off high … Just play the game and do not buy every card/pack when they release … e.g. the Spotlight Kurtz … he is very high rn … wait until wednesday when the next spotlight drops

Good for you.
Yes, you can get every card in the game without spending a single dollar.
A model can be not pay to win, but also complete [censored] at the same time."grind for stubs > buy cards" with stubs will always be far inferior to "grind for cards"
-
It's not pay to win it's the fact they lock more of the content behind spending stubs and MAYBE buying them but it's not pay to win. I mean look at the programs now over the past few years ... take the POTM as a perfect example.
They had us earn like forget the number but like 8 to 12 of them -- EARN -- understand that word EARN -- not RNG luck from a pack and not spending stubs in the shop. Earned them from playing the dang game so the fanboys cannot even refute this cause THIS is a fact.
However I am eager to see how the clueless fanboys can defend this ----- waiting ...

See above. I fought that fight two years ago. I am still not a fan at all and will occasionally have a small tirade against it but it just got tiring.
Bottom line - If their strategy is working and they are making more off stub sales while maintaining their player count then we, collectively as players, have given them very little reason to change course.
