Worked out great for me. I won't get all the cards, but I have about 75 percent of them, according to Showzone (which I discovered this year and made use of when I was collecting the Live series). As a Giants fan, I'm really sorry I missed the Rickwood thing and I'm hoping they bring it back for the Forever program, but I've had a great time. I thought the late start would be quite a handicap for collecting cards, but it really wasn't. And for the first time, I did no money spent and I found I could do it and still enjoy the game.

Update: Got through it all but I may recapture the strongholds anyway just to see what happens.

Thanks for the comment, @X-FREEZE-OFF-X_PSN.

I was one of those "gullible" ones who bought stubs with money when I played MLB The Show 22. That was a big reason why I took a year off and didn't buy 23. I just got 24 through PS Plus and I won't be spending cash for stubs. And so far, I'm having a good time doing it. I'm not that great a player, so I'm not playing online, just single player stuff. I know I started late this year, but I'm wondering how I would have done had I started in March. Either way, I'm just playing and enjoying it. I'm considering coming back in March next year, but I don't think I'll be paying $100 for the Deluxe version. I may just go with the Standard version.

Carl Yazstremski, Barry Bonds (yeah, I know), Bobby Bonds, Tony Conigliaro, Rico Petrocelli, Jackie Jenson (gee, which teams do I like), Babe Ruth as a Red Sox player.

@Crimson_Monk_PSN There's still a thing, though, that if you're not really a skilled player (speaking from experience here) there are a lot of really really good cards you don't have a chance to get. That's a downside I've come to accept. Yeah, there are still a lot of good cards (and even really good cards) I can get, but still that seems unfair to me.

FYI, the only source for this so far is Dave Winfield's Instagram post. No credible wire service has picked this up yet.

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN My guess is they haven't come to an agreement. The steroids argument really doesn't play anymore since McGwire and Sosa, and a few others, are in the game. I suppose one could put together a Barry clone. But imagine a Bonds 99 and an Ohtani 99 facing off.

Additionally, please drop the mandatory showdowns. I think enough of us have indicated we don’t like them. Please take a listen. And Happy New Year.

I don't play online, but I've always loved Devin Williams in past games. I have the Live Series card and it works great for me.

@SakAttack87_PSN I do like the footage in the Negro Leagues storylines, but I don't always watch it. I will give a tip of the hat to SDS. The Negro Leagues storylines are beautiful.

It may be a great program to get cards for the collection but when there are moments that aren't easy to do then it's impossible

I don't consider myself a great player and I'm through all of them except one (the Jose Abreu 8 bases one). And I probably could have just won it if I hadn't played stupid and not bunted for my last two chances. But I'm confident I'll win this one. I'll admit a couple were challenging, but I got them.

Jeez, folks. Just be grateful we got anything. I didn't play last year, so it doesn't bother me. But even if I did I'd be happy either way.

Thanks, SDS. And happy holidays to you, too. Thanks for the game and all the fun this year.

@beatlesnews_PSN Willie Mays … will get him today once I finsh the last 3 storyline missions

Being a Giants fan, Willie Mays was one of my early goals after starting the game when PS Plus gave it away. And I got him, then proceeded to get the others in that pack. But I had to have Willie.

What does the war have anything to do with baseball storylines

I think that would make a great storyline for MLB 25. And I love the HOF suggestion, too. Or maybe something about the first or an early World Series. There are many places they can go.
