SDS: Negra League Team Affinity
-
this too
-
i been saying this since Storylines came along. Its weird to me that they basically keep the players segregated from the rest of the game because pretty much all of the programs have missions like "use player from X team" or "get pxp/hits with specific card series" and it never has anything to do with the NL cards.
-
They wanna make Jackie Robinson Day feel special without actually doing the work to make it feel like it matters - this rollout is their only attempt all year to remind us these guys existed and have playable items in the game too
-
Jackie Robinson day would be a great time for a big TA style program for NGL players that isn’t done in 30 minutes, but we know that isn’t happening. They’ve squandered the NGL partnership every single year.
-
that would be cool
-
I mean my idea from day one when they started negro league players and wbc is having a free agent team affinity where once you accrue enough pxp you can use it for any team affinity. I know they want you to use every team but sometimes it’s hard when they don’t release any useable players for that team in the first month or two. Like pitching for nationals for example.
-
Yeah, I've been wanting this for a long time as well. Would really like it if these cards had some value in use other than just for the sake of it
-
What I was hoping for was for them to make a mini season of NLB teams like they have for WBC. But if there was a miniseason with this event they would have advertised it. Hopefully later in the year.
-
Not only that, but on release, this player should at least be in at least the mid-tier level that makes them worth grinding for too (at least for the first few week of the new cycle). Instead they make them 85's, when everything else is mostly 87-88's. Makes zero sense and that they are also useless with no Team Affinity. Its kinda sad actually, cause I love the Bob Kendrick videos, but only have limited time to grind,so Campy is only one I even did, but never really used him

The title of this thread reminds me of Gunny Ermey’s character in Mississippi Burning

I truly hate how SDS has spent the first 3 years of this partnership with the Negro League’s museum. Could have been amazing. But instead they segregate them to a mode outside of DD. Give them cards that aren’t good enough to take online & with no boost & only ever give a couple of them usable cards towards the end. It’s so irritating.
-
Funny how march to October had a path for rewards but not the special inclusion they want to educate the fan base with. But it's hard to want to use cards that have no goals or rewards tied to them.
-
I thought the cool papa bell was a very good launch card, but I don't disagree he should have been 89 with the others 87
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS With TA at 88, they should have been at least 88.
-
@ShadowJake77_XBL at least their cards have quirks this year
-
I mean nothing has been leaked yet I don’t wanna get to excited but. they did say this is there biggest Jackie Robinson day drop to date. Probably getting to excited for nothing but i am rly excited.
-
keep the players segregated from the rest of the game
yikes... given the topic, that's some poor phrasing.
Sorry, just breaking balls.
-
@Sarge1387_PSN But it is exactly what they have done. I don’t believe it was intentional on their part, but they have essentially segregated them to a mode that is not integrated into DD.
A storyline should be a part of every inning cycle. Smack dab in the middle of DD.But, like so many other things in this title, they just don’t care.
-
Oh I agree with both you and @easy_duhz_it__psn , seems kinda weird that they preach about having their stories in the game yet fail to really integrate them into DD properly. I'd love a TA for the Negro Leagues, or a Negro League Mini-Season
-
Incoming program where the devs boast that it can be completed in 15 minutes for a 88 Gibson and 89 Jackie. Oh and 3 show packs.
