It sucks that Sets LITERALLY ruins the grind like bro I grinded my [censored] off to get good cards that I need to use just for it to not be "Season eligible". People like myself thought that Sets would work well in MLB The Show but NOOOO it did not at all.
Sets is basically a microtransaction strategy that a lot of people did not notice at all and they did it in Seasons 1 through 3 they had programs that reward with 97 overall cards as the "main reward" except for POTM and then keep dropping really good 99 overall cards in PACKS. Remember when we all thought they're gonna put Elly De La Cruz as a 99 Topps Now reward just like Kenley and Kimbrel well they put that dude in a CHASE PACK. SDS then clutched up by adding Team Affinity into its own collection but sadly they are Set cards so basically I grinded for Corbin Carroll just to not use him later on because of Sets and yes I used Adley as my Wild Card cus he's Adley.
San Diego Studios if you are seeing this PLEASE get rid of Sets and also start dropping some more programs with 99 Overall Cards because ever since clutch became important almost every 97 and 98 overall card is useless and also please drop 99s left and right. If you want more diversity into a player's roster then get rid of Sets drop a bunch of 99s in every new season or program and everyone's team would look different. I said that because when Sets were activated starting from Season 3 every player I faced nearly had the same team as other players did but when I played MLB 22 which has no Sets my opponents had so many different lineups and pitchers.
The reason why MLB 21 and 22 had players stay on the game longer than MLB 23 is because we weren't forced to grind just to become "Season eligible". I like MLB The Show with no Sets is because I feel rewarded for grinding to have a good team instead of being forced to grind 2-3 times just to be "Season eligible"
Please don't bring back Sets in MLB 24.
I want to grind the game to be rewarded with a good team instead of being forced to grind to have a good team multiple times which doesn't feel rewarding.
