Are 99 OVR Cards becoming meaningless at this stage?
-
Why would you want the best cards to come out in November?? You guys make no sense. Very few people still playing in November.

This is exactly the predicament. You need to keep the player base engaged when the game is still at its peak which would be around mid season.
Hard to fault SDS for their progression model considering the people still playing in November are probably not their target audience since they know the lifers ain't going anywhere.

The notion of making superhuman cards a way to keep the player base engaged is pure nonsense. And honestly I think releasing all the 99s so soon may reduce the game's longevity, not increase it.
Maybe instead of releasing 99s at the all star break they could have made actual TA content? Have a ranked season that isnt a copy/paste of every other one somehow? How about a cool event of some kind that both offline and online players can enjoy?

Why?
Because I've been playing dd since 2020 and by the time finest comes out every year I don't care cause my team is already maxed. Finest should be fun and exciting and it's simply a lateral move as nothing really makes my team better.
That makes perfect sense to me

The term “meta score” is still so hard to look at

The term meaningless is irrelevant in October on MLB the Show. All cards released October through November should ALL be extremely juiced. The season is over and once this ranked season ends it'll be the Forever program and we might only see 1 more card once that starts. I don't care and would prefer at this point to see extremely juiced unreal cards released. No one seriously wants to see them release a Santadar with less then 100 contact on both sides which is unreal for him. This is how progression works and it keeps some players relevant.

I'd say don't underestimate the amount of players who just stop playing as much when the regular season is over. I finally got my 99 Stan Musial and like most cards that I earn this late I have barely used him because I am winding down for the year

Right, I think its more there is an extreme overestimation of people that actually care about god mode cards. If they exist people will use them, but if the All Star Jose Ramirez was his end game card and balanced against the end game pitchers that would be fine too for most.
People aren't leaving because they don't have 99s yet, they are leaving because its their time to move on.
And the bigger issue is for most of the year there was just a sub 90 Stan Musial, or a gold Gary Carter, or any number of other cards. I remember enjoying the early Turkey Stearnes and looking forward to a diamond one in the middle of the year that never came.
