What I want most for '26 - Offline theme teams

[Teak2112_MLBTS]

When team Affinity was first announced this year, I was excited it was going back to team specific. So mnay possibilities for interesting progression! But it ended up being just get a bunch of hits, HRs and runs in other content for a foam finger icon. Missed the mark for me personally big time.

Having a more robust system centered around offline theme teams would be absolutely amazing, for me at least

What I envision is this:
-A set of cards devoted to theme teams. Art on the generic side, leave the fancy art for programs and online play. By keeping this generic it would I assume be easy to pump out some cards every couple of weeks.
-These cards could be used to plug gaps, lots of relievers, etc. It would be current player heavy
-Collections for getting x number of team players
-Multi team collections for the big time grinders (these could be reskins of WS cards as an example)

-Various ways to earn progress. Stats, yes, but also winning various modes using a theme team
-USA conquest map but theme team only and you start at your team's location
-New vs CPU with selectable # of innings where you face a random theme team

Basically endless possibilities, and the great thing is its near bottomless content as you could do this with several teams.

It would certainly take some time to set everything up to work with theme teams, and there would be the initial early phase where no one has cards (maybe have an option to use the live series team that conquest would use). But I think once set up this could be easy content for SDS to create and could keep a lot of offline grinders happy.
