SDS Partner kdjTV's take on today's Finest Drop
-
As has been stated, the devious part comes from this never being a thing before. I’d also add that this is the same year on which they added a card cap and nuked Team Affinity as well so we lose out on any of those Finest captains. Put the two together and it’s not a good look at all. Are the cards themselves worth it? That remains to be seen as we don’t have the full collection out or know how many we can skip. I’m not really sure why they make the decisions they do this year, but if you feel frustrated about it then speak with your wallet next year by avoiding 27.

I think its quite possible that this came about because everyone complains about pulling Hunter Greene or Glasnow
So now SDS is saying 'hey, here is something to do with these cards you hate getting'
Also keep in mind 2K this year has an exchange system that is massively popular and has people claiming its the best iteration of myteam in years, that could be an inspiration too.
I don't think this was done with the ill intent everyone claims. I think was simply them trying something different in response to the complaints about getting dupes, much like the spooky variants.
This is the time of year to tinker with stuff. Easy answer is if you don't like it, dont engage in it. If no one does these exchanges then they wont be back next year, and the final collection will likely let you skip Finest anyway.

I think the easiest way to solve the Glasnow issue in Vault packs and others is to make the odds of pulling something worthwhile better. In saying giving us something to now to do with Glasnows and others would be a lame excuse for these exchanges.

Can definitely agree on this being the time to tinker. I just think the steps they took with live series this whole year were maybe misguided (that's just my opinion though). Perhaps if this wasn't the same year they placed card caps it would be easier for me to get behind. I did like that they tried exchanges earlier this year with Robin Yount and I think it was an Austin Wells WBC card this year. Those did include every live card though, maybe they could have repeated that and just adjusted how much each of those cards points were towards the redemption.
Glad for your response, since my initial reaction to this was probably just that, overreactive. I already did claim them as exchanges since I had bought a ton of 89+ diamonds when they were at quicksell, then naturally forgot about them. It does make the Vault packs better and we are likely going to get 10 of those in the coming content this Friday. Thanks again for the response!

I'm certainly not in love with the final product this year, I've played half as much as last year and last year was a drop off from prior. The way they have treated TA has a lot to do with it, as does all the spotlight and deluxe packs.
If I recall, Yount exchange needed 83+...it did allow non live series but it also didn't let us dump our silvers and bronzes.
The old TA style worked well, where people could dump their junk in exchanges to get quick progress.
