PLEASE RECONSIDER TEAM AFFINITY
-
If there’s not going to be multiple TA drops to get more team captains, I hope they raise the overalls for these cards every couple months the keep up with the power creep.
-
There is only one TA drop this year? Legitimately this may make me not buy the game. I do not understand this company.

Im rewatching the TA portion of the stream and they havent said a thing about this being the only TA for the year. Still not sure where these guys heard that.

Plus - Hitter and Pitching captains for all teams from the start
Minus - they seem pretty short@easy_duhz_it__psn - Everything they said made it seem like that was it. 2 programs for each team.

I am disappointed if there really is no more Team Affinity drops, I liked the new drops every couple months, giving us 30 free cards every once in a while. Because there was times last year were content got a touch stale, and T.A would be an easy way for offline grind to take place (I play both Online & Offline).
I think an EASY way to fix this, is if they ended up using the first T.A path (the one with the jolt cards), and updated it every once in a while to include the new T.A cards and rewards. Additionally doing this with the Road to #1 Fan as well. I'd like to see some more rewards with that - even with it being completely optional. At the same time, I just can't see them actually calling T.A quits after the launch drop considering EVERY OTHER The Show has had multiple drops.

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN - They said no Subsequent Drops, all other drops will come in other programs. And that this will be how T.A stands throughout the rest of the year.
Here's the link to the T.A ClipNote: They did say more could be coming - just not to T.A, So my guess is that if they did want to do a Neon or Color Storm series, it might be it's own program?

Like what though? I havent heard anything that makes me think thats it. They also didnt talk about Color Storm or Neon last year before launch either.

The EASIER way to do it is to add new Reward paths like Neon and Color Storm last year.

I bet they add more TA later, can't see them topping at 88s

In past years as we approached the end of the year They would bump captains.
-
@SaveFarris_PSN fair point
-
I just saw the part of the stream where Ashley said "as it stands now, this is TA for the season. These players will be added into other programs during the year but they wont fall under the TA banner"
Theres a few ways to take that really.
-
@Dolenz_PSN right..maybe every TA captain gets their own program to upgrade the card later on. Either way, the content is plentiful so I'm not too worried if it's a lesser TA program.

My absolute favorite thing about 23 and 24 was seeing the new inning coughseasoncough drop and thinking how I planned to tackle the TA. Was i going to use a theme team? Run the miniseason a few times? Use the prior TA cards? Showd...no not that. And the conquest, of course!
This being gone really soured my enjoyment of 25
Its possible they have a vision to have something to fill the void, but I am very skeptical. We will see what the programs and mini seasons look like.
-
I’ll be ok with it if they do evolution programs for all the captains or something like that.
-
The way I understood it is they separated the original TA and no.1 fan (season long) TA, so once you cap out on Jolts, only no.1 fan will count until the next drop in what… May?
Other TAs will drop along the way.
-
At least we are getting 88+ overall Jolt players, I will try to get Eric Gagne Gil Hodges and Chase Utley as soon as I get my hands on MLB The Show 26 for the PS5.

I agree with this. They kept saying/referencing how quickly everything could be complete. Two hours for this. 20 minutes for that. Less than 2 hours to get both jolt captains etc. I am skeptical we get programs like the TA in years prior to 25.
-
I really hope that this is a misunderstanding and they will have TA drops throughout the year. As a primarily offline player, TA is always the bedrock of content for me. It allows me to build rosters in creative ways like the manager of a fantasy team. And isn’t that ultimately what Diamond Dynasty is about? Last year I consistently ran out of things to do. OnceFinest came out without the typical TA program paths and conquest maps, I more or less stopped playing the game. Without TA, unless there is something equally robust, I can see this game getting stale very quickly.
-
My fear with no additional TA is they are already bad at distributing cards evenly amongst teams. Without those automatic cards to all 30 teams, I worry that it will be even worse this year.
