Wow loaded up on Chipper, Ohtani, Marte, Babe, Rollie, Rollins and Brett for a fraction. I’ll keep Chipper and sell everyone else back and essentially get him for free. Great Flash Sale SDS!

I highly doubt the majority of the community is obsessed with P5ing cards
I get there is a breed of player that finds this fun, and I totally can understand it, but its absurd to call them a majority

Sounds like you’re having a bad day with the italics and “absurd”. No worries, I have thick skin. My point is that the majority of the community struggle to find time to P5 cards so double PXP gives them a fighting chance.

It’s also my personal hot take, we don’t have to agree. Hope your day gets better! Cheers!

DD only gets fun now during double PXP when you can actually P5 players for the majority of the community

Spotlight cards instantly crashed - woof

I like the mix of players for variety. Some of those cards are fun new gems in ‘25 like Simpson and Jenkins so getting 99’s of them will be fun. Plus 99 guys like Albies and Berkman not being behind a paywall is refreshing.

100% - I used my free voucher on the Rays. At least I could use Schultz offline for the WS grind.

It did it for me - first time playing franchise this year too

Wish they had player evolution cards where there are gates to gradually allow you to work them to 99. Start at say 75. First gate is is 80 at launch, 85 in April, 90 in May, 95 in June and 99 in July. Maybe choose from 4 players and you only get 1. In September, SDS can release 99 that are accessible for all 4 so you can still get them all later. For example, maybe guys like Frank Thomas, Soriano, Pudge, and Finley. And make it so they can contribute PXP to any of the teams they played for and be eligible for those team’s captains boost. Just try something different. Either that or allow a CAP with position, attribute and character restrictions and they can follow the same gates.

But alas, with screen freezing and broken attribute wheels still an issue this may all just be wishful thinking.

@TheGoaler_PSN said in Where is everyone on XP path?:

I had about 5 wheel spins 1 Diamond, 1 Gold. 3 Silvers.
There's a technique, sort of.
When you see the 1st Gold, then about 4 or 5 Silver icons in a row, the next is usually , but it flashes quickly, followed by a bunch of yucky silvers. Sometimes you have to let it roll all the way through to memorize the 's 2 or 3 appearances. I got Diamond once using the rhythm method. The times I got silver, I was too impatient, and timed my press either too early or too late.

I could be wrong, but the wheel spin is a visual exercise and the reward is predetermined. It’s glitched a bunch in the past and I noticed that spinning meant nothing.

2020 and 2021 for me.

I wish in mini seasons you barnstormed across the country and played games in Wichita, Cooperstown, Louisville, etc. Sort of tired of the repetitive global league.

The lineup screen freeze must be something they can’t fix without breaking something else. The developers are on to ‘26 so we’ll just have to deal with it I guess.

@CGSOJustin_XBL said in I’ll bear the bad luck for everyone else:

I’ve opened 8 July Spotlight packs and have only pulled Topps Now cards. I’m out of stubs and my only option left to get Griffey is to spend $170 real US Dollars…

That sucks. I sometimes get the itch thinking I’ll get some luck but get burned too. Fun side game to play though if you don’t mind burning the stubs. Better luck next time

Man, a ton of people must have hit it last night. They were going for 65-68 just 12 hours ago. I’d sell and pick them up later when they are under 20k. Why not? With all the great cards out you can get by. I’m not sure I’ll use any of them - I can’t pitch with Kluber personally.

Ryne Sandberg was one of my favorite cards to collect when I was a kid and may have been the first star player I learned about outside of Boston players. His cards were always so crisp and clean, idol looks dressed in red and blue. I think I may create a team of my favorite players growing up in his honor. May he rest easy - too young and he’ll be missed.

Putting Wagner behind a collection is atrocious. Just when I’m enjoying the game you remind me of why I get sick of it.

This is an absolute game changer for casual players. I love how I can get missions done with the limited time I have to play AND level up the players I want to use all the time. Plus, it doesn’t hurt the competitive balance anymore with all the 99’s. I’ve played more the last two weeks post-all star content then I have since the game came out. Really hope SDS will consider keeping it until the end of the game cycle. Easily the best thing they’ve done this year.

Can’t wait. Billy is my favorite reliever in the game by far. Nice to know he won’t be behind a paywall!

I’m not interested in Beltran but I bought all the major cards besides Ohtani and made a fortune in stubs selling them back so I could go after J-Roll and Manny who I’d rather have. Love how the flash sale can work for everybody.

Dude is a menace
