@sbchamps17_NSW said in Full Team By Team Finest Predictions (AL):
The Guardians closer Emanuel Clase could also get a finest card
Not over Jose Ramirez. No chance. Maybe if they made Ramirez a collection reward. That would be the only way Clase would get it.
I dont understand the assumption that each team only gets one.
That is inconsistent with what they did last year (the Guardians in particular got 4 cards I think)
@ace_hardlight28_PSN said in Full Team By Team Finest Predictions (NL):
do they release 1 card or 2 for each team with finest ?
Unknown what they will do. Last year they released a lot, but they have already started ending content this year
I suspect one pitcher and hitter per team as captains, another 5-10 or so from a program and a few from collections.
I am assuming each team is getting a hitter and pitcher finest as 99 captains
If going by last year we could expect 0-3 others, but doubtful they release much in the way of content to support this
Yeah, I logged on to check to see if there was anything claimable and I probably wont play all week since there is nothing new. I finished extreme last week.
This year really was tailored to people with limited time to play only (from an offline perspective at least) with not much for people wanting to put more than an hour a day into the game.
The lack of mini seasons meant to be completed multiple times really hurt the game for me this year.
The trend late in the season to make everything mandatory is awful, but this program was still better than anything in s1 or s2. It was effectively 11 cards.
@bostondirtdog21_PSN said in Team Captain 99s:
I just hope they mix it up a bit and go deeper with the 99's versus rehash 99's from previous seasons. For example, the Sox could get Kutter and/or Wong. While not sexy, they would be new adds to play with.
I just assume the captains will be the top hitter and pitcher from each team as the finest
The smart thing would be to take the players that had good year sin the past but werent great this year.
Like Jeff mcneil for mets captain, his career warrants a 99 but 2024 does not. Diaz would be the obvious pitching captain choice, but I would rather them give that to Seattle and give Peterson a good card.
But I fully expect Lindor to be a 99 Finest/hitting captain
for this particular wheel if I had the option of guaranteeing the 7500 every time if it meant never seeing headliner or 5 pack I'd definitely do it. I suspect the average return for a chase pack is under 7500
you havent finished the xp path yet?
Jeff mcneil doesnt even have a 90+ this year and they had extremely similar years
@nymets1987_PSN said in Scouting Report:
Millionaire packs were a big waste of time this year
I think you are underestimating how much those 2k/3k/5k add up
Garbage in season 1 though
I'm wondering if these will be finest cards, like how playoff freeman is a captain but not a standard captain card.
@Collin_SDS_PSN said in Codes not working:
We would like to use the code system more in the future.
Please don't, unless they are permanent and available for every one.
As someone that lives in Australia, I was disgusted by what was done in he start of the season with region linked codes. Yes, the cards were eventually given for free but if one of those players had been a met I would probably have uninstalled the game.
You probably want to avoid doing things people associated with scammy mobile games.
Edit: I do like the random packs and things given away each week. I do log in to the shop each week to see whats there. I like that halfway through the season these stopped being time limited cards and were instead packs of some kind.
And yes, I have bought the shiny new things with stubs sometimes when I do this which is the intent.
Veilguard's big development push was back in 2018 when Fortnite was exploding. The decision to make what was Dreadwolf at the time a live service gave with Fortnite inspired character models had a disastrous impact on the final product
The environment looks great. The game feels great to play. In terms of quality its a huge leap forward from Andromeda and Anthem.
But its just so tough to take things seriously for me when the character models are just so wrong for Thedas.
The writing isnt good and yes its a step down, but its not like Inquisition's dialog was that good. But the writing combined with those character models...so offputting for me
But as I play more I see more cases of good writing, the quality does improve to a degree.
Right now I feel that its a pretty good game overall and worth playing, but a poor Dragon Age game
Its not difficult, sure. None of the showdowns this year are except I assume the extreme one.
But is it fun?
@GixxerRyder750_PSN said in Halloween Program and Mandatory Showdown:
Some of y'all never played the TMNT Dam level or Battle Toads and it shows.
Its more like going back to play an early rpg dungeon with frequent random battles, no saving, and long loading screens for each battle
Its not particularly hard to get through but it takes forever, and if the enemy does happen to crit 4 times in a row you just wasted the last 30 miutes of your time
@dbub_PSN said in Details for Verlander Showdown/Program?:
8 stage Showdown? Ugh. Just awful.
I'll do it eventually, but I just saw the update and turned off the game
To be fair, it is post world series now so Im not expecting much, season 3 has been more good than bad.
Oh one other thing: 99 team captains advertised for s4. not sure what that means for Finest
@GixxerRyder750_PSN said in No Sell cards in Event Program:
Haven't Rewind Packs been No-Sell all year long?
To be honest I never noticed, the first few seasons the prices were consistently reasonable
Its a problem right now though
Only thing new is Verlander that I saw
8 stage showdown, with no other rewards besides Verlander
Juan marichal and Buck ONeil added to vault pack
moonshot program has 4 or 5 rewind packs but all no sell
moonshot pitchers the free claim for the week
unless you like the moonshot event no real reason to bother this week
New conquest advertised for the 13th
Event cards have gone up in price over time, and the obvious answer is supply/demand: the ratio of offline to online players has shifted.
Personally, I stopped playing online forever at the start of season 2, and will never go back.
But now we have an event that is supposedly popular returning, and might be a good way to retrun some balance to the prices of the event cards...and they are No Sell?
Who does this help? Event regulars are [censored] over. Offline only people are [censored] over. I would have to think stub sales arent helped either, because who is going to buy 50k+ stubs for JR Richard?
Stop making anti-player decisions like this.
I think no sell cards are ok in places, but online only modes is not that place
Depends on the cards.
Not sure if people will bother with forever BR or forever events.
Older pack cards will drop though.
