    Wow EA/SDS, and two years in a row, I really miss pre-COVID MLBTS. Back when the franchise had a soul and the game wasn't stale.

    @DoIHearBossMusic_PSN it’s did used to be any card was obtainable thru a grind minus live series. I miss those days I still play the game like that but as a company there not even trying to hide anymore that all they want is ur money and don’t give a f*** what we think.

    I didn’t have to buy any cards today. Just had to collect what I had. So now I have 5 million stubs with nothing to buy.

    It's not even a paywall at all. Paywall means you have to pay money to access something. This does not require you to pay any money at all to get any of the rewards.

    Probably not a bad idea. Even if you have to buy him back at like 250-300k in a couple weeks thats still a nice profit. Plus there has to be more signature cards coming.

    It's not a paywall as such, but it is highly predatory and contingent on extreme luck (despite what the investment bros will tell you).

    I only have to complete the program to get Beltran.
    I'm fortunate in that i packed both Judge and Ohtani early (and Judge again a few weeks later).

    Without that luck, i'd still be miles off like most people.

    I just hope FOMO doesn't get the better of people this week.
    They don't deserve your money and rest assured, Beltran isn't going to move the needle for anyone in any meaningful sense.

    Everyone wants the new card and thinks they can’t win online ranked games if they don’t have the newest card lol. And most people trying to get it don’t even play online!

    It’s not a paywall you just want the card as fast as possible. It’s a big collection I don’t think the plan is for a majority to have it day one.

    I haven’t spent money and didn’t start grinding hard until a few weeks ago to get Victor and I can unlock Beltran today.

    Just got Beltran and I’m no money spent. These big collections shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone at this point. Yes, it’s a lot to collect, but you should be collecting these cards through out the year. Try to obtain cards after flash sales and whatnot when market prices are down. If you wait until the day the collection reward releases and cards like Leiter are up to 500k that’s kind of on you.

    100 percent. You have to build your collection when cards are down during flash sales, don’t open packs and do not overpay for the new shiny cards.

    This is false. There have always been exclusive multiplayer cards.

    @SaveFarris_PSN fair maybe I just used to pay less attention to more lucrative cards. I only rly started going rly hard at getting the best cards last cpl years even tho I was always competitive. I’ve been a ws player since 20.
