There is excellent stub value in getting to the “wheel spin” for sure.

This has not been my experience. I would be shocked if the wheel odds werent heavily skewed towards the headliners pack, which is almost certainly a lower expected value than a ballin pack. Even the 5 show packs feel like I hit the lottery.

I have also gotten a metric [censored] ton of headliners from wheel spins, but I have also gotten numerous Ultra and premier packs as well. On the whole though, you are getting better rewards from the wheel spins. Even the 5 pack bundle is better than many of the standard rewards along the path.

@Barfy-Bad-Gas_XBL that’s very true and I wouldn’t be sad if they just didn’t turn it off…and it was just the normal!

@mikeg5781_XBL my recommendation would also be to complete the live series collection. Having that done and out of the way feels great! Beltran is still the best card in the game, you unlock tons of cards to work on Ted and Joey Bats along the way, which to me are also some of the best cards in the game.

Don’t blow all your stubs, but start knocking it out spending what you are comfortable with. For me, I try to at least have enough stubs saved up for when I think they are going to drop a new chase card, just in case I want it. This is extremely easy to do when you are caught up on all collections.

I love both double XP and double PXP and am really going to miss it. One thing I really enjoy doing in the game is P5ing cards. Having double PXP has probably made me play more because I see really excellent progress as I play.

Additionally, it feels like I fly through the XP path and really enjoy getting all the rewards quickly. There is excellent stub value in getting to the “wheel spin” for sure.

Hopefully they turn it all back on soon because it definitely makes the game WAY more fun for me.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN Nice! I have all these cards and nearly 800k stubs at the moment.

For me Joey Bats, Manny, and Jimmy are phenomenal. Manny has been specifically nasty for me. His price is going to drastically reduce in a week and a half when the new weekend classic starts though, so if you do buy him off the market, don’t lock him in and sell him the day before WC starts. Buy him back after the next weekend classic starts for 20-30k.

This thread is full of all sorts of misinformation. Ok, so if you get an Ultra Pack from a “wheel spin” and actually choose an ULTRA pack, you will, in fact, get the 5 cards.

You can choose one of the choice packs, HRD or Prime, which will allow you to choose, so you will only get one card.

Common sense here would be to never choose the choice packs, because just grabbing up the Ultra All Star pack gets you 25k stubs at a minimum.

So yes, Ultras do have 5 cards, you get the 5 cards if you choose an Ultra. Don’t choose the HRD or Prime choice packs because you will only get the one card, unless that’s what you want, but it doesn’t make any sense to me at all.

I opened up 3 Ultra, 3 Premier, and 3 deluxe choice packs yesterday after they updated. I made a killing. I’m over 500k stubs now.

Both are great Hitters. Ted is better and has better defense.

I DH Schwarber.

Beltran is still the best card in the game. My rankings would go like this for top 5 hitters/fielders in order:

Beltran, Williams, Marte, Raleigh, and Jram.

I have all these cards. I have used them all in ranked and WC at the HOF level and have made WS.

@yankblan_PSN Typically they only release the choice packs in the Ultras so it won’t have that much of an effect. More people would go for the 5 cards at guaranteed quick sell of 5k each in the All Star pack. You also have a 1/2 of getting a rare round card.

I’m sure we will star seeing HRD packs throughout the game here this weekend.

@yankblan_PSN I very much believe they will be included in the legends and flashback collection. They are definitely driving up prices right now. The packs will definitely make it into the earnable choice packs, but if that happens on Friday, the collections will still likely be very expensive on Sunday when the big collection drops.

@LuvMyXBOX_XBL use you God Squad for all the moments and then back out of diamond quest when you get to a stadium making sure to save progress. Change your lineup to your bunt/speed team, play the stadium, get the rewards.

I’m sure glad that I bought all 3 rare round HRD cards right after the All Star program dropped for about 50k a piece. Also glad I got the all star rare rounds early as well.

I don’t understand how these packs can be pulled from the store with absolutely ZERO way to earn them from the game right now (if you are caught up on programs).

The prices on these cards have gone through the rough because of it. Hoping here in about 45 minutes all these packs make their way into the deluxe, premier, and Ultra packs for those that don’t have the collection done and for those that are sitting on packs waiting for it to update!

@nymets1987_PSN I think the HR derby choice pack will be in the Ultra most likely. Not worth that selection IMHO, but that is where they put the Moonshot ones. I would take the 5 players from the All Star pack with a guaranteed 25k quick sell value.

Still really strange none of them can be earned right now outside of the draft pack.

So the All Star, HR derby, and draft pack have all been pulled from the store, but they haven’t been out in the Deluxe, Premier, or Ultra Choice packs yet. So all the prices are going up. I think the only pack that can be earned right now is the draft pack from the conquest map.

Usually these packs are added to the choice pack a week after and before the packs are pulled from the store. I was expecting Friday, but it didn’t happen. Maybe tomorrow, but it seems really odd that there is this window of the pack not being available. I haven’t seen that this year.

@TheGoaler_PSN I killed with that 42 series Nico Goodrum. Phenomenal card!

@splattz35_PSN it was a great card for sure. Definitely had it P5!

@splattz35_PSN last year his captain card was bumped up to a 99 end of the year. I used him and he was fun!

This was an idea that just came to mind, but since this year is a “fan appreciation” year, what if they did a fan favorite takeover at some point? Just like they done with other card series takeovers, it could be in every aspect of the game: program, mini season, conquest, DQ, packs, etc. You get the point.

All they would have to do is grab cards from years past that the community loved, use the same card art, attributes, etc. and slap a “Fan Favorite 21” at the top.

I think it would be awesome to have something like that. Bring back that 98 All Star Trea Turner from 21, 99 Elly’s cycle card from 23, or the 99 Rollins from last year. Obviously these cards are some of the best of the best, but since we are now getting 99s, why not do something like this in the next couple months towards the end of the year?

If they did do something like that, who would you want to be included?

I should have it done right out of the gate just like when they dropped Ted. I’m sitting pretty ready to get those vouchers!
