It seems like the live series collection rewards aren't worth it for the reasons you described. Babe is cool but not that exciting because he's slow and not great in the field. Plenty of guys will slot into his position and hit nearly as well as him on All-Star and below with captain boosts, especially if the juiced exit velos persist throughout the year.

I love the gameplay but the huge grinds for time-locked cards makes no sense. I would have to no-life this game to get a season 1 choice pack and then I would I would only get to use the card for a week before the season expires. Same goes for getting a boss at 1,000,000 XP. Getting a boss at a 1,000,000 XP should feel awesome but it will feel terrible only getting to use it for a week. I understand there are wildcards but there aren't enough wildcards for all the cards you grinded for. I get they want to give that new-game feeling with a season reset but it doesn't work. It will feel like you grinded your [censored] off for 11 weeks to use a card for one week before you start the grind all over again. And most people simply won't have the time to get the bosses or the collections rewards let alone those who get them and can only use them for a short while before they're time-locked. We've had years with the show where folks loved the content progression. Time-locking cards is ruining an otherwise awesome experience.
