However, this year we are getting more packs which will drive inflation. Also if they handle the deluxe packs like last year and start giving them out like candy that will cause inflation too.

It's interesting because in aggregate an increase in card rewards should slow inflation or even deflate prices relative to previous editions. However, the higher end cards that are scarce will see price inflation as people flood the market with more common cards (commons, bronze, silvers, etc) and allocate those stubs to the higher tier cards.

Glad I found this post. Money saved this summer.

Got Zach Wheeler twice. Unreal.

They're to let you know what's new, but I hate them. Worst trend in video games for me. Wish there was an option to turn it off.

@SaveFarris I'd hope both. 20K is a solid sample size and likely has some statistical significance.

I've put in a solid amount of time in playing basically every game mode the game offers and I likely won't get a 99 outside of the TA3's.

If you have a life outside of this game, you're basically SOL if you want to earn the high end cards. And if you happen to get them, you'll have maybe a week to use them at this rate.

They've ruined this game for me.

@arvcpa mlb the show is still highly no money spent friendly.

Oh - I agree 100%. I'll be curious to see if they stay that way.

I doubt they will. They've taken incremental steps towards pay to play for the past few years. It's easier to hide it if it's done piece by piece instead of all at once.

@JDHalfrack

I used MiniSeasons almost exclusively to do TA2 and I felt like I flew through it. And as you pointed out a bunch of other helpful things like packs and XP.

@TripleH-4481 said in The worst weekend for double XP?:

I never said they did it to inconvenience players. You said that part. I simply meant it showed their lack of foresight, planning, and inability to understand their players. It’s a theme this year in case you are late to the party.

They should have released TA last weekend and done 2XP then. But since they did not do that, this is the best weekend to do it because it coincides with lengthy programs. If they released TA next weekend and did 2XP then there'd be like 20 days left to even use the cards we earn in TA and on the XP reward path.

I don't know if I agree with this. I'm mostly offline as well and I have a system that gets me through pretty quick. Just do Mini-Seasons with legends. One you start unlocking the TA3 cards and then grinding out those missions the programs start flying. It's only slow in the beginning of each TA program. Then once you unlock the first or second TA guy then your missions start overlapping.

@JDHalfrack

Yep I'm an idiot. That is correct. I'll take it.

@Dolenz_PSN said in The worst weekend for double XP?:

I think this is conspiracy theory talk. In no way do I think they did Double XP purposefully because it was Mothers Day weekend and would be inconvenient for many. Regardless of Mothers Day there will be more hours logged in the game overall this weekend than last weekend or next weekend because of the content drop. If they truly wanted to inconvenience players they would not put Double XP on a content drop weekend at all.

This guy gets it.

@TripleH-4481

Don't be so dramatic. Mother's Day or not a significant portion of the Show base will be grinding this weekend because of the content drop. It's logically the best time to boost XP rewards because it's going to be a major double whammy towards the XP path. Just another thing to moan about.

If they pushed it to next weekend then "The Worst Weekend to Drop XP": Because everyone spent last weekend grinding the massive content drop with a ton of objectives to gain XP.

Actually the opposite. They dropped 2XP the same weekend they dropped the 3rd TA program. A not insignificant portion of the player base will be grinding away at these to get the cards as fast as possible and as a result benefiting from 2XP without any extra effort. One of the few pro-consumer things they've done so far.

Did they change the repeatable "Season 1 Dubs for Vouchers" from 3 wins to 4 wins to get a voucher? I swear I remember it being 3 wins for S2

@St-Assassin8577 said in There is no room for this game for me this year:

Recently got a PS5 and haven't really played the new versions of God of War nor the Ghost of Tsushima, Jedi Survivor just released on the Gamepass, been thinking getting Rise of the Ronin as well and maybe Dragon's Dogma as well.

Ghost of Tsushima is the pick here.

@Dolenz said in TA 1.3 Reveals:

Wonder how many of these they will tease? They also said to tune in to the stream Friday for more reveals so will they hold back a few divisions or are hey talking about the new Online rewards since all the online modes are refreshing on Friday

They're talking about packs

I like making weird

Is this satire?

Sick content drop. Unfortunately I'm too poor to afford enjoying it.
