I actually would not expect them to offer the collection rewards in any other manner. It would defeat the purpose of collections.

Believe it or not some people just use players that they like or players from their favorite teams. Not everyone is a hardcore online player who has to run out a meta lineup for everything.

If you're only worried about running out a meta team then yeah, they probably are not very desirable.

Regulars will have that done in a month.

Also no new programs?

Well, a month from now is Christmas week. How much content do they normally release after Christmas. I honestly don't know because I am usually done by then.

Plus they posted this on the Now or Later packs infor

Starting today, Now & Later Packs can be earned throughout Diamond Dynasty modes including in the Ranked Program and the Season 4 XP Reward Path. Earn up to 12 Now & Later Packs with more to come in future MLB The Show 24 Programs.

So they definitely have some more programs to come.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL said in So with the announcement today:

If SDS is smart they will stop focusing their prime attention on DD and realize there are more people who play the other modes. The offline modes carried this title for over 20 years and it carries it today. Stadium Creator is one of the modes where a relatively small number of people impact the game through their works being in the personal play collections of millions of MLB The Show customers.

Believe me, a robust new version of SC would revitalize interest in this title like no other single change. People will flock to play this title if they start seeing highly realistic versions of historic stadiums, as well as original concepts that energize creativity and excitement.

Wow there are a lot of assumptions in that post.

SDS has not released the numbers for games played in each mode in many, many years. So saying that there are more people who play the other modes is a guess or projection on your part. None of us know for sure.

A Robust Stadium creator would make a bigger difference than any other change? More than more legends in the game? More than a robust story mode in RTTS. I don't think so. I mean did MLB The Show see a big boost when the stadium creator was first rolled out? I don't remember it that way.

Almost all positive sounding changes. We will see what they actually boil down to when the game is released. If there is one thing SDS has always been decent at is putting things in the best light and drumming up interest before launch.

The only thing that bothered me was the following statement in Gameplay

Gameplay: With the expansion of quick time events

Yuck, quick time events.

What does “quick time events” mean?

Anybody?

They are timed button presses. There were a few moments that used them but it is mainly seen in RTTS when fielding. The press AXBBY prompt that you only have a second or two to hit those buttons in order.

I'm thinking it's a mistype and they meant to type Quick Count Events.

Doubtful, there are definitely quick time events. Especially in RTTS

My guess is that they saw some major falloff with player engagement throughout the year, enough to worry them and get them to abandon sets and seasons. That probably had more to do with it than the surveys.

I would not get my hopes up for Stadium Creator. You might see some small changes but don't expect an overhaul. Stadium Creator itself does not sell many copies of the game nor do they have any way to monetize it (yet)

They also posted cards that will be along the XP Path.

Milestone Arenado Cardinals for @Dolenz_PSN
24 Finest Bobby Witt
24 Finest Jose Ramirez
24 Finest Tanner Scott
24 Finest Zach Wheeler
Retro Finest Kenley Jensan.

Ironically still no 24 Finest catcher cards.

Hope he is fairly early in the path.

Here are the Cards. Sorry, I have been slacking. Kind of all wrapped up in the new Flight Sim.

Thanks Collin,

Mine finally came through at about 7pm my time and ended up in my promotions folder on gmail

The last email I got was the 5 millionaire packs.

I have always felt like the emails have been spotty at best for me.

I've updated my thread with all the screenshots for all 30 teams

Okay, I think I have all the divisions updated and completed. I really did not expect them to roll them all out that fast.

The first 6 messages in this thread have the cards for each division

Added all of the NL East and NL Central

I think that is all of them except the NL West

@jake98833_PSN said in Finest Cards In The Middle of November:

It feels silly to even release these cards now, after the regular season and postseason ended a while ago. It feels as though this game needs an executive producer to oversee its multiple departments. Something is definitely amiss this year. The overall direction and structure of this game have not felt right since the initial trailers this year.

Last year, the Goldschmidt and Arenado Finestcards were released at Christmas.

I got the 5 millionaire packs but nothing with a code for this, at least I don't think so.
