I don't really care who's on the cover. That's not why I play the game. I would much rather see a veteran player who's proven to be one of the best but that's just my opinion. It is what it is. I'm sure that I'll get tired of seeing Jazz on everything this year though.

I'm barely above 200k. No real desire to play with nothing new.

Waiting for the Cardinals to do something

About to sign Wilson Contreras to a multi year deal

I would have rather traded for Murphy and used free agent money on someone else but Contreras will help. My guess is A's asking price included players the Cardinals didn't want to part with (Jordan Walker, Masyn Winn)

Just afraid that they will use the contract as an excuse why they can't make other big moves this offseason.

I know many fans were hoping to resign Qunitana but that ship has sailed.

I read that the A's were asking for Gorman, Winn and another prospect. If I'm the Cardinals that's a definite pass

Yeah, I think Winn is untouchable for now. Gorman is one of the few lefty bats they have.

It's a done deal.

Catcher Willson Contreras and the St. Louis Cardinals are in agreement on a five-year, $87.5 million contract, a source familiar with the deal tells ESPN.

Definitely getting more offense than defense with this move.

Yea, not sure how I feel about this. I'm wondering how it's going to affect the pitching staff.

Congrats to the Phillies. That is a really long contract.

While a part of me would have liked him as a Cardinal I am not sure I would have wanted them to commit to that many years.

How did you feel when Albert went to the Angels for 10 years? I have to imagine "relieved". 88.8 WAR in 12 years with STL, 12.8 with LAA.

I wasn't thrilled that he left but even then I knew that the length was an issue. I have seen enough players fall off the cliff performance wise to believe 10 years plus is a enormous gamble. I fully understand why the players go for that length though.

At that time there were already injury concerns with Albert also. The Cardinals weren't going to give him that type of contract.

It seems like SDS is done with the '22 game. We didn't even get anything new for the current program.

This thread is why I'm pretty disappointed in the forever program. Great opportunity to institute another positive change for this year and add some new cards to the forever program for those that have been along for the entire ride. I have very little desire to play since since that program came out with no new cards.

And the cards are so far down the program not worth my time

This is how I'm feeling. The only card that I want is Wagner but it takes 780k xp to get to him. I already have Mantle so now I don't have much desire to continue playing.

Lee Smith

My biggest complaint with this years game is the superhuman fielders. SDS really needs to tone that back. From diving plays to running down everything hit. It's ridiculous. They've made this game so that it's either a HR or an out on most of the at bats.

I want to see non-power hitters be worthwhile again. We need more singles, doubles and triples. Yes, this means that the hitting engine needs to be better also.

Overall I was happy with this years game. The content was good.

For the most part these are just cards that everyone already has or are available for not much more than face value on the market. I need very few cards for Mantle and this program helps me with exactly one of the collections, and that's not until 780,000 xp. It might be time to just call it a season and be done with it.

For those who don’t flip or play online as am I cannot even get Cutch let alone Rollins or Mantle

I don't flip or play online. I've completed all of the collections except for Mantle. You just have to buy the cards from events and BR on the market.

I’m not in the game right now but aren’t the jump start packs no sell? If not then definitely worth it

Correct, no sell cards.

I pulled a combined 51,750 QS stubbs from this.

@BeetleCoyote832_XBL said in Any more 1M stub cards?:

If all of the previous bosses are in the final program today, multiple Takashi cards should drop in price.

Yep. That's what I'm waiting on for a number of cards.

@TheGoaler_PSN said in Any more 1M stub cards?:

Takashi Wagner hit 1 million. Unbelievable!
I bought him around 160 a few months back!

The price gouging is ridiculous right now.

I just checked mine and it didn't reset so it's definitely something with your account. Hopefully they'll get it fixed for you.

I'm guessing that you mean "Finest" of the franchise since that's the active program and the only one that you could have been playing this morning.

I don't flip and only play offline. I'm currently sitting on 2.2m stubbs waiting to complete Mantle when some of the cards come down in price, hopefully with the new program tomorrow.

While every other sports video game has ruined their "Ultimate Team" modes, making them pay to play, DD is still easily done without spending money. You just need to play the game.

@Boneman05_PSN said in Juicy Packs:

I don't need the Takashi pack as I only needed to pick up Morgan and Mays. I had picked up the others and just needed one more before they released the 99 Jackson. Surprised they haven't released a 99 left Grove. or 99 Fingers. All the other bosses from the Takashi program have had a 99. I can see fingers not getting a 99 but Grove has always received a 99 unless they lost his rights mid way through the year. I still need a few in BO, AS, MS, Awards, MA and Finest.

I only need Morgan but I refuse to pay 200k stubbs for that card.

@SakAttack87_PSN said in Juicy Packs:

I would like to think that the next main/other program will contain a couple more new Takashi cards. If you need that series to complete the Mantle collection it is basically highway robbery with how expensive most of those cards are.

I hope so. I'm very close on all of the collections that I have left but the remaining cards are ridiculously priced. Even if I have the stubs, I refuse to pay that much.

With all of the great cards that you can get, I felt that this Showdown was pretty easy. You just have to be patient and wait for a good pitch, especially on guys like Lynn who love to throw slow stuff down around your ankles.
