<![CDATA[Events need creativity]]>Why does every event basically let you use every card? Events are the perfect place to get funky - a wheel should spin and this game you only get to use Cincinnati Reds. Or only super tall players. Or only Asian players. Vary up the difficulty every round - after three wins, you have to spin a wheel and maybe you play on HOF or Legend difficulty.

Instead, every event is like...you can use 90% of the cards in your binder!

The "let me play how I want" crowd is the reason - they'll be in here complaining that they want to use their p5 goon squad every game.

Its fun to form different teams - but this game gives you no reason to do it. Your DD squad is basically built by the end of April (except for occasionally adding the next really good card) - and theres no team building.

I don't even bother with them anymore.

They're boring and toxic.

I despise 2K, but they had a mode called limited (now salary cap, I believe) where you could only use, in MLBTS parlance, one diamond, two golds and the rest needed to be silvers.
Salary cap, which replaced it, also fosters a similar style where different cards are forced to be used.

That way, the people who absolutely cant play hof have some protection.

HOF plays the best IMO and would love to play chill event games on that difficulty. They’ve had HOF events once or twice and I loved it.
