You’re so much worse than that guy

@drnkmnky13 said in Just beat someone begging for wins in the event lol:

Asking and begging are 2 diff things. Theres lots of people who literally play events for missions(including myself).

I love how your first thought is that the person is a kid lol.. u dont like it? Just say no and move along. But no you instead made a useless, pointless post for what reason??

This guy obviously begs for wins...

They tell you that you have a 1:10 chance of getting a diamond. You got a diamond in one of your 10 packs. What more do you want? There are 34 live series diamonds. Of those, only 7 are worth more than 75K. That means if you buy 10 headliner packs there’s about a 20% chance of you getting a diamond where you will break even or come out with more stubs than you spent.

The moral of the story is you shouldn’t buy packs.

Does anyone actually like how easy they’ve made it to get all the best players in the game? Am I the only one that actually enjoyed having to put some effort in to build my team? I played for one hour and had a full team of 90s... what’s the motivation to keep playing? I don’t see how this game lasts. 3 days in and I’m already bored. I can’t be the only one.

Season 3 doesn’t start for 4 months. The majority of people won’t last that long. It will keeps things fresh for diehards. But I don’t see how this game holds the interest of the majority of people. Maybe I’ll be wrong. But I’m already bored and usually I don’t start feeling like this until month 2-3.

I expected this to happen when they introduced it (insert LeBron meme).

Same. But I was hopeful they would come up with something interesting. Now it’s just the same game as every other year fast forwarded a few months when every card is a 99. My favourite part of the game is when shitty cards are relevant at the beginning of the year. And getting a diamond is actually exciting.

A 50 pack bundle is 75K. The odds of getting a diamond in any standard pack is 1 in 50. There are 34 live series diamonds, only 7 of which are worth more than 75K. So even if the odds of getting every diamond was exactly the same (pro tip: it isn’t - you’re far more likely to get 8K Kershaw than 98K Scherzer) then it would still make absolutely no sense to buy packs instead of just purchasing individual cards on the market. Packs are gambling. They’re fun but the house always wins.

Eck gets crushed for me. Gagne and Nen are the only righties I’ve had any success with. Nen’s splitter is NASTY. He got me out of a bases loaded jam in the 9th to make World Series

Yeah if you’re 18-18 you’re just not as good as you think you are. The game has issues but everyone is dealing with them. The best players are always the best players

To be fair, the problem was probably the 12 times your contact result was worse than good/good.

You had a .667 average and 2.000 slug on PPs. Can’t really ask for more than that. You got unlucky on Good/Squared, but that happens when your sample size is 3.

Reggie is the right decision. He’s a top 5 hitter in the game.

I for one have bookmarked this thread because it will be fun to come back to this after a few months.

I just did the same.

Personally I would have preferred they went in the completely opposite direction. Cap out the rewards at 85s to start. That would make silvers, golds, and live series players actually have a purpose other than for collections (they might as well be hats or jerseys). And when you got that first diamond, it would feel like an accomplishment. If you pulled a diamond, it would feel like a huge win. Call me crazy, but it seems like that would be a fun game.

The community has been quite vocal about how SDS has capped out rewards early on and nerf what should be good cards (April POTMs for example) just to meet these requirements. SDS has listened to the community, thought outside the box when it comes to how to improve on the fantasy card-collecting type of modes of sport games. We understand that you may not like it, but the majority of the community asked SDS to come up with something different and they did.

Not sure if you can speak on behalf of the community nor that the "majority of the community asked them to". Some will like it, some won't.

I'm not speaking on behalf of the community, the community has been speaking for itself over the past several years.

This is a ridiculous comment. Of course you’re speaking for the community. That’s literally exactly what you did. Which is fine, but own it.

You are truly stubborn in your ways, my friend. You came to wrong place to get your confirmation bias needs here! All you have to do is check out the history of this community forum, all the other community forums on this game, and the history of social media articles on this game to find out the majority voice about this topic. Either you learn to enjoy the game or not is your choice. I am willing to bet your prediction of this game not lasting is not going to pan out like you think. I wish you happiness in life, my friend, and maybe you should go enjoy something other than this video game in order to find that happiness!

Surely you see the irony in your refusal (stubbornness) to acknowledge a view different from your own.

All I’m saying is I think the way the game is currently structured will have no longevity. And a very small percentage of people playing in April will be playing in May and June. That is a poor business model. That is my opinion and maybe I’ll be wrong. Hopefully I’ll be wrong... but I doubt it.

Well to each their own. I play a few hours a day and have so much content and cards I haven’t touched, this will keep me busy and entertained for months. Last year I ran out of content after a week and was playing the mystery map over and over. I’ll take this model every day of the week.

The issue last year was they got rid of team affinity for some reason. It’s the same game this year just with team affinity added back in. Having the easily attainable 97 rewards just makes every other reward less excited. Just my opinion though.

I do get what you’re saying and I’m sure there will be people who decide they have the team they want early on. To me, the addition of the captains is a cool twist, the variance of Mini Seasons and the additions they made there, the storylines addition and keep in mind the game has been out less than a week. 1 day for regular release. Who know what is in store?

But I appreciate a good debate and you aren’t just arguing like some people do so while I hope you are wrong, I do see your points.

I hope I’m wrong too. I love the game. But I’m disappointed that I think it’s going in the wrong direction.

The concept they’ve come up with is that you will get all the best players available to you right away. And then in four months, you won’t be able to use those guys anymore, and you’ll have to do the same stuff over again for new guys. If you think that’s a great strategy for the game, I’m happy for your openmindedness.

Basically the way I see it, instead of one long slow grind where we finally get the cards we want and half the people have stopped playing, the game will be 6 shorter cycles. Get that Chipper card and use him online all you want, come July you can’t use that specific card. Meanwhile you can work on the next card to go in his place. Personally, I think it’s a great move and most of the people I know who didn’t want the game this year are now playing and enjoying it.

I guess we’ll see how long that interest lasts. I just don’t see what’s going to keep people motivated to grind.
