I just logged in to see if set 4 was worth downloading the game again. Thanks for saving me a couple hours.

All of my co-workers love and play sports games. None of them play this game. Why? It's too hard, for all of them.

And then the extreme program on Friday

With SDS completely watering down the difficulty level on showdowns, I anticipate this to be the easiest extreme program that they've released.

Even then, there's going to be multiple complaint threads on it being too difficult.

I hope I'm wrong.

No your not wrong, it will probably consist of lots of moments (people will complain), possibly a conquest map that must be played on All Star or above (not that hard to do honestly) same for showdown, and maybe a few huge time consuming XP missions with players.

I don't think it will be anything like the year were we had to beat all 30 teams on all star and then the extreme team on hall of fame and there was another game on hall of fame for Babe Ruth.

But...that wasn't the extreme program. That was a legend/flasback program that ultimately gave you Vlady Senior.

Extreme will be a showdown for one card, moments for a second card, and conquest for a third (if it follows previous years formula).

Last years program was a reward path, unlike what you laid out which was the historical norm

Yep, your point? Previous year (s) refers to plural, not a singular example. I do hope it's more reward path based, I feel like that allowed everyone to eventually complete it, even if it took much longer for some.

Fixed it. Now my point should he clear. SDS has shown they want everything obtainable to everyone to keep the casual complainers happy, so most likely same as last year where you can achieve without really achieving.

Casual complainers? Maybe, working moms/dads with kids who have limited time to play the game?

Not everyone is a 17 year old HS kid on summer break, or a college kid living at home until August.

I'm fortunate to have a lot of time to play, but the majority of the player base is not. I'm perfectly fine with them making the grind more accessible to the majority of the people who purchase and support this game.

I forgot how toxic this forum is lol. I'll be back in a month to remind myself.

But....that wasn't extreme. You're confused. You are thinking of the "Old Timers Program" in MLB 20.

Interesting that you got two upvotes for completely false information. Welcome to the internet in 2023 lol

That's awful, sorry.

If your download time isn't atrocious, I'd maybe delete and reinstall the game. That's seemed to fix some similar issues for people in the past.

I am traveling , so can someone share how many new cards ( not from the packs so far) are added to the reward program path?

There are 3 Draft cards and 9 ASG cards.

Thank you? Is there a new event as well?

You're welcome? Yes?

This is a HUGE W. Thank you SDS. A guaranteed rare round card is the best thing you've done in a few years.

@Seanyboy5550_MLBTS said in All Star Game Pack:

I opened the 15k stubs ASG pack in the store but it gave me 4 Live Series Diamonds Ohtani, Judge, Strider, and one other. Do I get compensation or something because technically this is false advertising no?

So...

You created an account on here to tell a lie? Why? Never mind!

Just go to bed little kid, it's past your bedtime!

It's not a lie, you can look at the current prices in the market (they are way low), or you can look at recent sale prices.

The packs were glitched for a short time. Several Ohtani's sold for 20K. Sorry you missed it???

@Dolenz_PSN said in Your All-Star game Cards...:

People on twitter are reporting getting Live series cards and non all-star cards from their packs. May be worth
waiting to buy one.

And as I type this

@lucas8181_PSN said in Your All-Star game Cards...:

Some of us ended up with a 90 plus live series choice pack LMAO.

So it is not just twitter trolling.

No lol. Look at the LS price on those cards. Ohtani is down to 55K right now. Won't last long, so buy if you need them.

My choice pack was LS Ohtani, Trout, Betts, and I don't remember who else.

Absolutely don't wait lol. Although I think it's fixed already.

SDS strikes again.

They can't/won't fix it. There are hundreds of thousands of us. Move on, that's all we can do.

HRD packs are live

They aren't great. Took the 98's for 20K combined. Better than a pack purchase.

I gambled with the 15k pack, got base round and took Rutschman, he will do until I get the 99

I hear that. I can wait to get him. I love Robert and Julio, so I'm glad to have them added to the squad. Fantastic bench or DH options.

Guess we gotta wait another hour for them to drop

It will be in the shop tomorrow. Not like you'll have the energy to play a game after you rip the pack anyway.

Because we’ll all be depressed that we got base round? Or waited up on a school night?

Both. Same dudes waited all night for draft packs that are still in the store. lol

It’s always the morons that end their rants laughing hysterically to themselves.

I like when they compare this company with what I’ve been told is 47 employees to in this case 2K Sport with ~1200 employees. It’s better when it’s EA Sports because they have ~13,000 employees. These guys are miracle workers compared to them.

Yeah, but EA and 2K don't torture their customers with Ashley.

So, every time you open a pack, you have a 10% chance of getting the card. That's a 90% fail rate, for each card, not for you in general.

odds don't take into account your personal track record, just the odds of all packs opened by everyone.

That's why you see guys hit jackpots in Casinos every day, but you never get one.

They've never said they will release HRD cards. There will be earnable cards Wednesday in the program, that's it.
