I just do the 10 run mission on repeat. I play in a custom field on rookie. 10 runs are easy to come by.

I really liked the challenge of it and the rewards were really good. If they brought it back they should make the player rewards sellable though.

I get fed up with people too but getting reported for stooping to their level isn't worth it. Just let them be a brat and get the W. I like to imagine these guys lives are so pathetic they act this way because it's the only "control" they can have over someone. For an hour they can make you miserable and that is some kind of win for them. Turn off messaging and replay your HR's and bunt dance in return. At least you won't get banned for that.

I have 112 of them so I guess I'll be getting him.

I was hoping for a 99 Sheffield. Even his 93 card was good for me.

Yes. Online and offline. Last update got me all kinds of messed up for sure. I lost a mini season game last night on Veteran. Every perfect/perfect was a line drive out. The PCI location doesn't seem to correlate with the outcome. I hit a HR with the PCI not touching the ball and then a lineout with perfect/perfect.
This. Exactly this. I feel ya. Doesnt make a lot of sense to me. Then you couple this with the fact that the cpu will not chase, this update is hard on the soul.
The CPU will pitch around you on Rookie LOL. They must have gotten tired of us XP and pack farming basically with mini seasons. Used to take 1 game to get a Ballin pack or 5 pack bundles. Take 3 games now.

Can’t we go a week without the BS?

I think its funny when people say " just make it to WS or just try hard to get a 12-0 run". Trust me, I've tried for years. Never made it to either. I liked being able to at least grind out BR or ranked to get someone I could sell if I wanted to get others I wanted. SDS wants to make the 1% feel even more special by doing this. And it's their right to do so, but I don't think they thought it all the way through. Streamers and the 1% will buy this game year after year because they're either really good and/or they're making money off YouTube or Twitch whether or not this was implemented. Regular guys like me may not come back next year because of it. I think they need to look at all the companies lately that have forgotten about their core demographic. SDS can be boycotted in oblivion too.

Granted, casually saying that you should just go out and do the difficult thing that earns the sellable reward is silly, because it's something that is unobtainable for many of us. No one worth taking seriously is going to say something like that. However, and I mean this without disrespect, what you're saying doesn't hold a lot of water, either.
I'm also a regular guy without a chance of going on a 12-0 run in BR, and though I've been playing this game since it was a thing, the highest I've sniffed in RS is the low 800s. Despite that, and the fact that I can't sell program rewards, there isn't a chance in hell that I'll be boycotting this game. I assure you that SDS is in no danger of losing a significant portion of their base by not allowing people to sell rewards.
Going a little further, from what place is this whole complaint coming? These rewards used to be only for those who could do those very difficult things; SDS did their base a solid by allowing "the rest of us" to obtain those cards without forking over a large amount of stubs to get them in setting up these program rewards. Clearly, they've decided that they didn't do that so people could profit in the game from their gesture, so they adjusted and made it so those who actually want the cards in question to actually use on their team and enjoy can still do so, but only the originally targeted recipients of these supposedly rare rewards could turn around and sell them. How about a little gratitude for the handout, instead of complaining that you can't turn around and sell it? Who's being greedy, there? I imagine, for SDS, listening to this argument is something akin to buying an extra sandwich, giving it to a homeless guy, and then watching him get pissed off that you didn't just hand him a $10 bill so he could buy a bottle of Jagermeister instead.
Even further; so what if SDS is changing things so they can make a little more money off of this game after its release? Why shouldn't they? People have gotten to this point where they demand constant work from the developers to continuously tweak and adjust every facet of the game, provide new content weekly, design new programs, etc., and they somehow expect them to do this for only the initial purchase price of the game? That only makes sense if the game is take-it-or-leave-it-as-is until the next year's release... of course they need a revenue stream to fund that. Why is that wrong, particularly if they are still allowing a very reasonable path to play this game and earn good cards to use without spending more money. Maybe you can't have Chipper without spending money. So what.
When SDS changed the whole WS/BR exclusive awards a couple years ago they said they did it to make the game more enjoyable for everyone. Now they’re backtracking on that. Yes I get your point about at least being able to obtain the cards even it I can’t sell them. To your homeless point, it’s more like giving a guy a tuna sandwich and not allowing him to sell it to get a turkey sandwich because he doesn’t like tuna. Some of the rewards are great but I’d rather use them to obtain players I actually want to use. I 100% completed set 1 because I could sell reward players I didn’t want to get players I did. Further sets won’t be completed and that’s fine I guess. I’m definitely not breaking out my cc to buy stubs. To my other point, plenty of people buy stubs because of various reasons. This is just a money grab and that’s why it bothers so many.

Go have a beer and chill. People quit early in every mode. I've done it if I'm getting blown out but sometimes I'll stick with it if I just need some innings. Don't let what others do affect your day. You control that. Stay positive and just roll with it.

@TexasTauper_PSN said in Wild card question:
Probably been answered but I took a month off because of burn out but I'm trying again. Why aren't I able to use Katel Marte from the Extreme program and my Set 3 Trout at the same time? It forces me to make one of them my Wild Card selection. Shouldn't it force me to make my Set 1 Chipper Jones the Wild Card? Is this a glitch?
In your main manage squad screen, you’ll need to generate a season 3 eligible lineup for everything to work properly.
Thanks. That helped. Although my roster was already season 3 eligible. I guess you have to let it generate one first. Goofy.

Speaking of logos how do you add the logo to the field?

I’ve had great luck with free packs which is why I’ve only bought 1 bundle

Very nice work. I was fortunate enough to finish up Sunday night. Good thing too with the sudden spike in prices this week.
yeah if I didn't finish last night if would have taken a few more days to finish with the stimulus spike. I sold a bunch of cards I'm going to try and get back bc I figured everything would spike today.

@JaksDaddy758 said in Collections done:
Way to go man. That’s my goal this year. I’ve got 9 teams left. I got lucky and pulled Trout last week so I got the hardest one out of the way. Probably another 3-4 weeks I’ll have them done if I can keep motivated and keep grinding.
keep grinding bro. I sold everything free I got to make it happen and grinded for ever free pack/bundle i could get.

And I didn't buy any stubs from stimulus money. Had incredible pack luck this year which is what made it happen. Pulled Trout, Cole, Acuna x2, Springer x2, Scherzer, Rendon and Freeman. All from free packs. I picked up Trout in the first few days of release from working the marked so sold the one I pulled. From stimulus money I ordered a monitor so waiting on that.
Congrats - I also got a stimulus monitor!
My luck has not been as good but I got miggy out of a headliner - first one I bought sold for 90. Then in my ballin pack I got freeman and Soto . Used those Stubbs to but Britton who has always been my favorite reliever and this year he is max juiced #stoked. Monitor can’t come soon enoughDude I can't wait for the monitor. Everyone says it makes a big difference so I'm hoping my regular TV is the reason I'm mediocre lol
-
yeah it doesn't make sense. like missing late on a low pitch should result in the pitch being lower but instead its leaving it higher in the zone. a low outside slider shouldn't hang in the middle if you miss late.

Dude having a Prince card would be awesome. I hope it happens.
