Playing Forza for 2 days showed me why The Show is struggling
-
Maybe I should play some MLB The Show today before Forza enters wide release tomorrow. I still have some Cardinals to Acquire but right now Ozzie and Gibby will take almost all of my stubs. Then I will be up a creek the next time they put a Cardinal in a pack or behind a mode I don't play.
I have not even earned Edmonds yet

The problem is stubs, Period…SDS simply doesn’t award enough stubs across the entire mode to be able to upgrade your team in a reasonable amount of time. In Forza you earn a good amount of credits for just playing the game. And it doesn’t take forever to save up & make significant upgrades. That makes it fun & the grind feel rewarding. This is how SDS could fix it…Say you load into a game of Conquest - You should get 1000 stubs for a homer, 750 for a triple, 500 for a double…Win the game? 5000 stubs, Lose the game? 2500 stubs…Then just double the values for online play…This would make grinding for players MUCH healthier. There’s simply just not enough ways to earn enough stubs to make a difference currently. This would provide that & players would actually FEEL that they’re working towards a reasonable goal.
Lol this is a completely ignorant post about 2 completely different games. First off stubs for HR? Seriously, how would that even be a good idea? You'd just have people doing nothing but going in against the CPU on rookie and hitting tanks at Costco. This would effectively make EVERY single card more expensive. You'd be paying 50-100k for bronze cards. Next I just completely completed live series collection NMS. Only got lucky 1 pull with judge and collected him. You get sooooooo many packs from grinding it's not even funny. Did the new mural mini season on a 28 game 3 innings on All-star run and by the end had 200 different packs to open. So even if you pull nothing but silvers in those packs thats 5k stubs in just silver equipment and jerseys to sell. Then you end up with 12 ballin packs and get 1 low 400 stub gold oh another 5k just on those. And odds are you will get lucky and get something. So please stop with the complete disinformation, simply because you lack the information or ability to do the work.

@Rhyno1986_XBL when that ‘something’ you get for getting lucky is worth 3000 stubs or whatever it doesn’t really register, but sure

Ramone hasn't called the shots in the last 3 games. But when he did, this game was great.

Forza Horizon 2 on XBO was the GOAT of the series.

Truth about Ramone. He was around during the glory years.
I got Forza 5 late. I'm definitely getting 6 being a "racing-head." -
@TheGoaler_PSN I’m not even a racing head I’m just getting it for a change of scenery from sports games last forza game I played I was way to young to even understand it.
-
@The412Smoke_XBL they should not give us stubs for playing a game. They give us a little but this makes us grind for the stubs. I don't want to finish the live series in a week like you are wanting. That does not make it seem rewarding.

The fact people on here complain about "the lack" of stubs prove they don't really play. You can go get this game today start a new account and spend 2 hours just doing programs and have a competitive team up to All-star or even HoF if you are decent. Complaining and comparing it ro a racing game while neglecting to mention that it's not like you start with the best cars in Forza and have to ALSO balance your upgrades and simply say you don't get enough to stay competitive is 100% disingenuous.

Don’t really play? Before Forza dropped, I had earned every pack from every program & mode in DD. I was still like a million stubs from completing live series. Only left to do would be to go full hamster on a wheel and keep playing the same mini seasons over and over and over and over again….That’s a terrible lack of content if you’re being required to either play 500 rounds of mini seasons or to be a fake stock trader 24/7 flipping for pennies. Flooding the game with earnable stubs is the only answer.
