Reward for completing collections.
-
The idea of the high diamond being non-sell would be a good idea. Just allow everyone to get closer to completing collections. I will eventually get there with World series and 12 wins, but to start the season with a high diamond would honestly help those NMS, Market Flippers, and people who spend $1,000 nigh one. Save someone a lot of money, time and effort. Thanks for the great responses guys!

SDS made some cards non-sell (or at least non-quick sell) and look how well the community reacted!!!
-
Yeah they made common, bronzes non-sell. that was the problem. If i got a high diamond pack on night one and got Mike Trout, he would be inserted into Center field for months and into the collection. It would honesty help me out if he was non-sell
-
I think with the amount of packs that are available via grinding, or the rewards that are achievable online (ranked, br, events), that they don’t need to give diamonds away to complete collections. My ONLY gripe with collections this year is that we can’t use the cards for exchange missions (FotF, daily missions, player programs). I’m fine with not being able to QS them, but it’s annoying that 99% of these cards will sit in my inventory all year without use. They should be able to be used for mission exchanges.
-
Or maybe make last years collection a card you get to start the year off. We definitly should have gotten something if you completed the wagner collection from last year.
-
If you've proven for years that you're going to complete the collections anyway, why would they give you free cards to make it easier for you?

Exactly! The problem is they made the lower cards non sell which would make the market upside down (ie commons, bronzes more valuable than golds).
Having the ability to get a high diamond reward for being a completionist every "season" or year should net you something like a Trout or Arenado. Listen baseball is becoming if not the least popular sport behind the NBA, NFL, and maybe soccer. Why not entice people with extra rewards and bring in some fans? It makes sense and if you disagree I don't know what to tell ya. Have some optimism and try it before you knock it.

How about a nameplate that that counts how many years you've completed the Collection? (similar to the World Series Rings/BR nameplates)
Outside of that, sounds perilously close to "gimmie gimmie gimmie" whining.
We are consumers investing in a product that makes us happy. If we are not happy then we as consumers have every right to tell the makers of the game of improvements that would keep us happy.
No happiness= No more spending money
Its that simple and if they want to keep fans then make us happy. If you think its whining then that's your own personal opinion and that's okay. But, us that spend money should be entitled to at least a subscription high diamond pack for investing time and money into this product that keeps their lights on as a thank you.
"should be entitled" and that, my friend, is where this post has gone terribly wrong. If I go to Wal-Mart and I don't like the price of pork, I buy something else. I don't go to the front, ask for a manager, and tell them I'm entitled to a free loaf of bread.
Ok the thing here is you have to spend money first. People have spent money on 17, 18, 19 and now 20! That's a lot of money and their is no thanks from SDS besides a gold pack.
We play this game to win and winning is fun. I do realize that people have fun playing their way and that is okay since everyone else has their own definition of fun. I digress, but the fact of the matter is there should be an entitled subscription pack for those that spend money on the game every year for stubs. If you want the good cards you gotta get stubs right? A lot of people don't wanna spend time flipping the market like a stock broker and that's where the spending of real money on stubs comes in.
Can you name a single game that rewards people who spent money on the years prior?! No. You think people bitccc now you cant even imagine how much worse it would be for the annoying 'no money spent' crowd to shout from the rooftops bc they are at a disadvantage

Well people spend money to get the advantage duh. Spending money speeds up the time it takes to get these cards that we all chase to win games. If a few people complain that's fine, but the people that spend money on the game win and are happy with their purchase it makes SDS happy as long as the money keeps coming in.
Look no one is knocking the no money spent guys as you do whatever you wish with your time and that is respected. But on the other side of things people that don't have the time or patience to spend that amount of time glued to the market flipping commons, and bronzes spend their hard earned money on stubs.
Also I think the no money spent crowd I believe is the least of their concerns as the real money is the ones who spend and invest into diamond dynasty stubs. Just being completely honest and you take that however you wish.

That would be really nice. I also wouldn’t mind if they added something similar to MUT rewards for those of us who rip a lot of packs.

They have a product and you decide to purchase it. If revenue is not being generated at the rate that SDS wants then that is the point where they will re-evaluate their model on how they provide cards to the community. It is not up to them to feel bad for the person who spends money on their product. There ultimate goal is to make money just like most other businesses.
Companies are not putting in work to try lose out on money. If things are priced too high or not worth it then people will stop paying which will result in changes from SDS standpoint. As long as the money keeps coming in, nothing will change.

And that is where they keep giving garbage 85 diamond cards that will just ride the bench or be in the collection section never to be seen. Its honestly a lose lose for us and I guess we have to just not spend money on the game since no one wants to fight the man on this.

Except you're not. SDS doesn't read your comments. It's just bitching on the message boards. That's all it is.

Like most other people since MLB 17 I have successfully completed the entire MLB collections in each of the past games. I feel like SDS should reward us better for spending those stubs for the next year. They give us Gold cards, i feel like if you complete the collection this year at the start of next years game they should provide a "High Diamond" Card pack. It would be a nice gesture for those who spend a lot of money to get the collection reward just to it again the following year. I try to be NMS but i usually spend an additional $100 a year with also buying the $100.00 version to start. It would be nice to get a high diamond pack and pull Arenado or Trout or any 90+ Diamond that could save me 100,000 for most of the year.
I didn’t think the gold cards were for anything other than “you played last year” and not bc you finished the collections. Either way that’s a bad idea for them, who do you think spends the money on stubs to buy the high end cards. That’s like saying “because I graduated from college , I should get free season tickets to
Football games bc I spent 70k on an education” -
It’s a horrible business decision for them. Logic prevails. If people are spending money to buy cards, why would you give them a high diamond pack? They’re most likely going to spend the money anyways.
It’s simple really: grind it out online (via program/competitive rewards), grind it out offline (program rewards and conquest, albeit this method is not ideal), or spend the money. The choice is yours. SDS doesn’t owe you anything for using money to buy your cards. They just owe us to make a game worth playing. You make the choice.
-
Your reward is you get the best cards in the game, the AL, NL, and MLB collection players -- Biggio, Sheff, and Mantle -- cards that other players will never have the opportunity to use. Plus every other player in the game abd a significant advantage to anyone else...
I'm kind stunned you want more... Any card you get in that diamond pack wouldn't even be usable on your roster.
