It may just be me, but I feel like 24 was almost a filler while they worked on 25. I agree that content lacked and it was too easy to complete programs in 1-2 hours. I think SDS knew that sets and seasons were not a hit like they expected so they knew scrapping it was the plan for 25. The reset is going to be great and I think they started focusing on this year by the time the summer hit last year. It’s totally understandable and I for one appreciate them listening to the community. I’m hoping we have a steady dose of content like we did in the past with player programs, more incentives with collections, etc. I fully expect this year to be one of, if not the best and well received years we’ve had. Time will tell.

Agreed. I preorder and get the twitch packs. I don’t flip but sell dupes and hope for pack luck. I finished the collection last year on April 7th, so about 3 weeks to finish. I don’t hardly play online so I couldn’t care less who gets what cards when. I enjoy the power creep and feel accomplished when I get the LS done. I’m really happy that sets and seasons are gone so I have more incentive to parallel cards this year. After playing for years and being on this forum, I know everyone can’t be pleased and trolls are going to complain about something. “Too many 99s on Day 1, power creep is boring, graphics suck, why can’t we use our OP RTTS player in DD, SDS doesn’t listen, etc.” I think they do a great job of responding with what they can. How many other game developers send out surveys and actually try to make as many happy as possible? Kudos to them and y’all enjoy 25. I know I will.

As far as I know, you can only create logos in the vault.

Under. I’m thinking 6 vouchers. Probably a 50 star program. Maybe the last reward will be a gold choice pack redeemable on ‘25. Or an 85 diamond.

So I got bored and decided to go back and look at the LS Collections from '21 - '24. I made a file of every team, division, league, and overall collection reward. I also added my guess for '25. I know there are legal issues with players, but hey, no harm in guessing. I also color coded the Golds and Diamonds so you can quickly see how SDS picked by team. Enjoy! Sorry the format is a little wonky.

Didn’t mean anyone one of you all in particular. Apologies. I mean as a whole, I’ve read a ton of positive posts from folks or just general questions and it’s a shame others drag them for liking a game we all play and pay for. If it’s so bad for those that always gripe, just stop playing and wasting time on these threads. SDS I’m sure does their best and can’t make everyone happy but doesn’t intentionally try to hurt the players. The fact they even try to make adjustments says a lot considering most gaming companies and others generally don’t care and will do anything necessary to make a buck, including never asking for feedback or charging crazy prices for the same product. Yeah micro transactions are here to stay but with all the NMS folks and skills still mattering to an extent, at least it isn’t pay to win. Let’s all be thankful we have time to play a sport we love even in video game form and feel like kids again. Us guys never grow up, we just get older so let’s enjoy it while we can. Peace!

@xxfrystealerxx 4 times. Got the stubs twice and the headliner pack twice. No diamonds.

@YOSHI24 Thank you too. And I know I said casual, but I misspoke I guess. I do play a lot and grind more than the average player. It’s funny how I tried to make a positive post encouraging others to just enjoy what they can and how they can and some folks find a way to turn it negative.

@Orcin52 I have about 200+ hours in. I’ll make sure to complete all of the programs and I do not flip cards. I did get lucky this year and pulled Trout And some weaker diamonds, but nothing special. I will say that I also in my free time will grind out RTTS Until I get the diamond equipment and sell all of it as well as the perks. This has made me a ton of stubs that I use. I play those games on beginner and just smash home runs. It may be a slog, but it’s allowed me to essentially buy what cards I want. I try not to spend more than 10 K for a card.

@Loyal-Wiglaf True. My wife is a flight attendant and usually has trips on the weekends. I typically have all the time that I want to play and grind, so yeah, I’ve put in a lot in the game. I’m just casual in the sense that I don’t get into the sweaty online matches because I’m not good and I get frustrated quickly. I play the conquest and mini season games on rookie if that says anything about my ability on the sticks.

I’m a casual NMS offline player and finished the LS a while back. If you grind out TA3 on mini seasons using the 1 & 2 bosses, you can finish 3 fairly quickly. I commit as much into one division as possible and use vouchers on the one I want to do last. Racking up packs and selling dupes gives me a ton of stubs for the Season 1 collection fodder and cards I don’t grind for on events and BR. I’m at 324 Season 1 cards rights now and have spun the wheel 3 or 4 times. I’m not an SDS fanboy and have just as many complaints as the next person but have enjoyed the game so far and feel like some positivity is needed. Don't be discouraged by the trolls and haters. Enjoy the game and you do you since you’re the one who spent the money on the game.

Anyone have an idea when the April Scouting Report packs will drop?

I’ve completed the Live Series and am looking to starting buying S1 cards and build a competitive and fun theme team. Besides the Rangers (who I’ve been using) with Lance Lynn and Joey Gallo as captains, what other team has the best diamonds that can fill close to every spot? I’m thinking the Dodgers or Yankees but wanted to see who y’all were using. I still need to open the last pitcher and hitter captain choices from the XP path and I don’t want to make a bad decision. Appreciate the input!

I’ve been using Joey Gallo and Lance Lynn for a Texas Rangers theme team. I use my best cards and the minimum 14 Rangers to get the Tier 3 boost. My questions is, what 2 pitcher/hitter captains are you running a theme team with that is fun and can compete online? I feel like the Dodgers or Yankees would be the other best but I’m curious if I’m missing the boat on another team. Thanks all!

Same for me

263k NMS for me. I’ve hit the XP cap everyday since early release. It’s crazy how low it is but I understand why SDS has it. I just wish it was weekly instead of daily.

@collin_sds_MLBTS Do you know if the app will be updated before launch later today?

@collin_sds Thank you. Appreciate everyone’s input. A long month to wait for early access but will be worth it. Good luck all!

Does anyone know how many Twitch packs will come before The Show 24? I got 3 from the Feature Premiere on 2/15, but was curious if all the streams will have drops. Do they ever put Elite packs in those drops?

I’ve pulled Kershaw three times ‍️
