This has to be the mother of paywalls!

6/30 on beltran
9/24 on Victor
14/21 on miggyLive series I could prob have everything but judge and ohtani at this point.
I decided early on to not go after live series and no life the game. First year since 2020 or so I didn't get live series done within the first 6 weeks or so.
It's kindve a bummer to not get Beltran but it is what it is. My god squad team is still super good and if I can't best someone then I likely wouldn't beat them with Beltran anyways. Andruw Jones is just about as good minus the switch hitting.
So not the big a deal but compounds to the lack of motivation to play this year.
We're almost the exact same spot. Beltran 7/30, Martinez 9/24, Cabrera 14/21, LS I do have everything but Judge & Ohtani. After I got to those final two I regretted even doing LS.

Don’t stress about Lioned. He is the definition of an internet tough guy that’s better than everybody else just ask him.
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN oh yeah and being a professional crybaby about everything is any better.
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN being an internet tough guy would be threatening to beat someone up. I didnt do that, calling him and you cry babies is just spitting the truth. It appears others agree with me.

Who's Lioned? Sorry for being stupid but I've never heard of him.

people want to compare this to EA, it’s not, the only thing EA does better is at least they release a lot of cards, besides all star and the big drops, we barely get 10 cards a week including a headliner and a chase, the crazy thing is the most i interact with some of these cards is when i buy them for collections, give us show classics and put more cards into this game.

@DemIsE4_XBL you cry alot. The game is not hard to make stubs if you put the time in. Sorry you're lazy AF, and come here to complain about not getting the cards you want. I have not flipped at all, i'm a WS player, nothing great, 0 flawless runs (but i dont play BR), i've not pulled judge or shoehei. The game is rewarding if you know how to play. If you spend half the time playing as you do coming here and complaining you'd have all the cards you want.
I haven’t played BR, haven’t pulled Ohtani/Judge and I missed the entire first month with work. Finished Beltran day 1.
I only got Victor a few weeks ago to take it seriously and look at everything I was missing along with grinding the stuff I hadn’t worked on.
I think I’m 88-45 online or something. Have hit 1,000 rating once because I love Polanco.

I can see both sides of this argument. Been playing for about 10 years. I can put up with everything this year except one thing. BOTS. You need to buy cards in the marketplace to complete collections but the bots have made it a pain. I feel like this version could have been bearable if it wasn't for the bots. So many times I didn't go after a card because I could see the bots and thought, why bother.

@Simple-Jack3998_XBL thats simply not true, i need 2 cards for Beltran, i have 3 boys, work, and a wife. I find plenty of time to hang with the kids, baseball is just ending for them, chase the wife around the house, and do house work. Oh yeah and full time. if you know how to maximize your playing time, its not hard.
Just stop. Are you going to tell us that you pulled Shohei 3x and Judge 2x and have a 10x flawless banner too?
If you don't:
get great pulls
flip cards
are elite at the game
spend moneythen the game sucks balls. It is extremely unrewarding. Matter of fact easily the most unrewarding game I've ever played. Ask anyone who doesn't do the above, they'll tell you the same thing.
I still find it more rewarding than Madden. You definitely need some luck mixed with good pulls and at the very least investments if you aren't actively flipping.
While I agree with you that it is better than Madden from what I hear but wouldn't you also agree it is heading in that direction? I'm not sure if these prices are a combination of bots buying stubs or SDS greed. Think a little bit of both. I don't think the prices of these cards are quite this high without bots. FFS, I heard you can get 1 million stubs for $70. From SDS wouldn't that cost like $700? Not sure people understand how much these bots raise prices. Legit people are really getting screwed due to bots, cheaters and WBC glitch. OhChev and Sam Adams both had cheaters in their last video. One was top 50 player and one had 1000 rating. These people really need to be caught.
Yes, it's 100% heading in that direction. It breaks my heart a little because like Madden I've bought almost every version of this game that's existed but when EA got too greedy for my in like 21 or 22 I said enough is enough and quit. I haven't been back since and I'd actually spend money on packs occasionally (they have bundles that actually guaranteed things like rare choice packs so picture a bundle of all star packs with a guaranteed yamamoto or cease for $20). Then they just made it nearly impossible to grind. I hope this doesn't get much worse because I'll have to quit this too. However, you can still obtain meta teams being NMS fairly easily if you play and utilize your stubs intelligently like Rubicant was saying.
-
@Thongypu_PSN yeah, thats exactly it - you dont need to flip cards, but you do have to pinch pennies (not buy packs) and invest in the right cards.
And theres definitely a "rhyme" to what cards are gonna skyrocket - SDS does the same stuff over and over. Darren ODay was an obvious investment- so was Mookie and Strider....all of which you could've bought for super low prices.
100% it just takes money to make money aka it takes stubs to make stubs but if you're disciplined and always keep a safety net of a few hundo you can usually do well. Yeah Oday was on me. I legit forgot about him haha. Strider as well but I had Mookie but sold him and then some others. I was expecting stand out to be worse. I lost stubs on that but again just bought one copy. I didn't want to but into postseason or signature series really since those sets are getting more soon I'm sure

I think that they should make the game so hard that only great players can play. This game needs to be even harder so that it is 100% [censored] instead of 75% [censored] to play.
