<![CDATA[Hats off to SDS….It is Honestly Impressive….]]>That they made it this many years before they went to weekly 500 dollar collection reward switch hitters.

Considering Madden and 2K have been robbing people blind for 10-15 years. It’s impressive it took SDS this long.

Not sure if SDS intentionally allowed players to earn stubs and avoid spending money for all those years, but either way….hats off to SDS.

Don’t do them then. Especially not all of them. Most of the cards in those collections are cheap and you get some for free. They don’t cost 500 dollars. This isn’t like the Lamar Jackson card they dropped in Mut.

F off dude

Well, he is correct, if you don't want do the collections, don't do it. It doesn't require you to say "F off dude". That's just childish.

Collections where you get 5 cards and then have to buy or get the rare round for the other 25 is getting stale really quick.

NBA 2K puts out cards regularly in their events that are realistically only obtainable by spending thousands on packs. The two games are light years apart. SDS is creeping towards what 2K was 5 years ago, but in that 5 years 2K has gotten exponentially more greedy while SDS is closer to linear.

These collections are every other week and feasibly obtainable as NMS (although grinding DQ isnt for everyone and pack RNG from miniseasons sucks). On a scummy scale of 1 to 10 its like a 2. They arent time limited, repeatable packs are earnable in game. They dont require a microtransaction only currency. Some people will be impatient and buy stubs but its not remotely necessary

That said, the potential collection fatigue is bad for the game. I greatly preferred the 2023/2024 collection model of much bigger collections and strongly feel that these last 3 drops should have all been part of a 100 card set instead of 3 smaller ones.

I completely agree with you and it is hard to believe it has taken this long for MLB to creep in the direction of 2K.

It is slimy to drop a switch hitter collection every other week. I don’t blame them either. Why not join the money making party?
