I can’t believe I went 2/2 on the cheap HRD and ASG packs with 99s. I think I can finally complete the LS collection now lol

@lucas8181_PSN said in Huge mistake SDS. Just cancel the plan now.:

It's literally only SOLO ranked, and a mini season/conquest. Want to use them? You absolutely can, with many many game modes.

This times a million. Such crybabies.

Yeah this is a no-brainer and they were definitely one of the first teams I completed. I probably won't have the LS done for many more months as I just don't make it a priority, but in a situation like this I wasn't about to make it any harder on myself.

Not necessarily season ending. Should be back in 4 months.

If any of these truly require an online game then that's a massive fail. Thankfully everyone that has claimed that has been refuted so it may just be based on in-game stuff.

I find it rather perplexing that a higher diamond isn’t the gatekeeper this year and that it continues to be Trout.

A lot of people don't like using Judge with his huge strike zone.

Well to be fair, the gatekeeper has NEVER been about usability. It’s simply an unlock to greater things. I would assume it’s statistically more difficult to pull the highest diamond (Judge) than Trout and by default that would be the most expensive is all.
I don’t care either way mind you I just find it odd.

I always forget that this is technically possible because it never really happens. I was shocked!

XBox has never had a countdown the way PlayStation does it. If you bought the early access bundle and have the 81 GB version downloaded you’re golden.

While they are basically saying the vast majority of cards that used to have value early are now worthless, I absolutely LOVE this approach!

If they don’t have a 99 Trea outta the gate then this is a fail.

It’s happening!!!

Pumped for an early usable Hayes!

A little surprised with Judge given how close it could be to his Live series, but they did it with Trout last year so not totally out of left field. Good way to let more people play with him I guess since pulling his Live card won’t be easy.

3, Maybe 4 or 5. Strider, Acuna, Riley for sure. Possibly Harris, but I see him at a high gold to start. Max Fried will probably be on the fence too.

MH the 2nd should definitely be a diamond off rip.

Agreed. They claim a three year sample but when it’s a second year guy that ended as a diamond last season it only makes sense that they put them within a point or two of how they ended last year. Otherwise they are just admitting it’s all a joke and doing whatever they want. Same for assuming J-Rod and Peña should be diamond as well.

True. But unless they sorely misspoke, they said you could have an entire 99 TEAM day one. We'll know more for sure later today.

I do hope this isn't a cash grab, as this is definitely not modeled after EA or 2K. Heck NBA 2K23 just got their first two 99s last week almost 6 months after release, so this approach is unprecedented. SDS has always been far more generous with being able to get good cards by comparison to Madden and 2K and I have faith that will continue.

Definitely looking forward to more details though.

To your first point, yes there have always been three 99s technically on day one if you wanted to break the bank. I'm paraphrasing, but around the 1:25 mark Jazz says "so day one 99 overall TEAM?" and the guys says "you gotta work for it but absolutely you can on day one".

That's a big change if true.

Focus on themed teams, etc..

There is a beautiful irony in wanting realism in Diamond Dynasty, where lineups are riddled with corpses everywhere you look.
