@aware_ward13_PSN said in Expiring Cards is absolutely ridiculous:
Nothing I posted was wrong
I won't attempt to argue the emotional aspect (the "I feel cheated" stuff)
However:
If you look at 23's "set release / retirement" dates alongside 22's (and earlier) release of bigger OVR cards, you'll see an interesting parallel...
Mid-may, 23: release set 2. 22: release 92 OVR.
Early June: 23: release set 3, retire set 1. 22: release 94 OVR.
Now, tell me, in 22, how many of your day-1 or even "set 1" 90 OVR cards would be useful (ie, not "handicapped stats") in this mid-may to early july window, and at all useful once the 94s come out???
This year, all my "set 1s" are still useful and at full (not handcapped compared to "set 2" cards) power right now, and I have the entire "set" to acquire enough set 2 high powered players to remain "competitive" before the "retirement" of the set 1s is enforced - and even then, I can bring a singular set 1 high powered player with me via the wild-card slot - and he will retain his entire power during set 3 and beyond - till the day the servers shut down.
Also, there will be events in which I can draw from my entire card pool, so I can pick any say, LF I own...
BTW, while it's on my mind, "content" in competitive PvP environments = actual people to play against. This system, with the increased "usefulness" of cards during "grind periods" (for those non-whales amongst the playerbase) = more "content" to play against...
