All Time Teams Program - Greg Maddux and 5 Other Legends

In a previous version and I don’t remember what year it was but you had to get 4 extra base hits with Gehrig on HOF in the same game maybe it was 4 HR’s at Shibe Park. Trust me it took forever. -
Thank you. That’s insane. Now that’s just a quicker way to complete some Moments. Maybe I misunderstood how great the Extreme Programs were? Ha ha

@dolenz_psn
Not sure I understand your post. Is that a list of Legends that don’t have a 99 or the players you would grind for? I’m not grinding for anything less than a 99 -
My take on this...
They've probably seen only a small percentage of the community finish Extreme in past years. It drops late in the year, and you either have to be good enough to beat it or grind PXP for months.
I'm not big on variant cards, but I enjoy Extreme, so I'll still do it for the challenge. And I'll complete the other program too because, well, OCD.
Casual players can get the good cards, and those of us who want the challenge still have it. Even though I'd personally be happy just playing Extreme, I can appreciate giving everyone a path to the rewards.
I don't know. I think they got this one right.

Trust me it took forever.I remember that one. I think it was 2020, my first year of DD. That one took me weeks, literally. I'd load into the moment, try for 15 minutes, then move on. I think it was 4 XBH. And... I think SDS later changed it to 3.
AND... That was when you had to complete everything, including a difficult Showdown where Nate Pearson was the final boss, to get all the cards.
@savefarris_psn might be able to correct me on my various inaccuracies...

What makes the variant special, slightly different attributes, while "extremely " doubtful able to sell them?
To me its a "extreme" waste of time to do something because the card has a spotlight that shines a different shade of color but has the same attributes as the one you can grind in half the time.
-
People do extreme moments simply because they enjoy the challenge. I don't think the extreme program was ever popular specifically because of its reward, it was popular because some people enjoy higher difficulty challenges.
I really do feel that for the majority of people who enjoy higher difficulty content that variants would be enough provided there are some high profile pack items mixed in too. Like a chase card selector that has Randy in it.

This, exactly. I couldn't care less about the variants, but I love the challenge.
-
I do agree, they would have to juice things up around the variants to make it worthwhile. If they do that Id do it. Ballin' packs, Show packs, Headliners, deluxe and even at this point premier packs would not be worth it to me.
Last year's extreme program I was hyper focused on getting that endgame Ely. Those rewards were time well spent!

I agree, I honestly think it’s genius to offer a variant for people that want to do the extreme challenges.
-
The variant isn’t even cool looking, it’s just so mid. I actually like the regular one better. The all blue is boring, basically same as terry P
-
If memory serves the 2020 version of signature teams was all 3 inning game moments against each team then each division then each league then a final 9 inning game against an all mlb team.
My guess is this will be similar but will stop at divisions. One “legend” per division -
Like I said, to each his own but on the Twitter link I posted, a lot of the streamers and their followers who are presumably the folks who would enjoy the Extreme Program, think the Variants are ridiculous and I agree.
-
Games I think were on all star difficulty with league and mlb game on hall of fame.

@Jeff7407_PSN
I think you are right. I remember having to face outlier Nate Pearson on HOF in the last game. -
Ill probably do the extreme challenge, but getting a variant is not exciting. A chase selector pack seems a bit more fitting.
Rewards are a bit pointless now anyway. Which is fine in November, I guess - but its been that way since August....power creep issue...
-
I go back and forth on the variants. I have no issue with them being just cosmetic upgrades of existing cards but I can also see it not really being very motivating for players.
But on the flipside are those who think they should be slightly boosted versions and I have thoughts
- Many of these cards may already be maxed out on some attributes
- I kind of have an issue with giving really good players even better cards for being good. They are not the ones that need them.
- Along with above, if the boosted extreme variants or sellable, it gives good players more ways to earn stubs off lesser players who can't do extreme.
-
@Dolenz_PSN possibly unpopular opinion but this variant [censored] is taking away possible slots for people who could get 99s who probably won’t.

But streamers and their followers find everything ridiculous. So that’s not a great way to judge it.

I don't believe that. My thinking that if not for the variants we would simply have 1 program with 6 rewards.
That said I could not care less about getting a variant. They are for gloating online. They have even less use to offline only players.
