Yep I have only pulled low diamonds all year and very few at that. With no way to prove otherwise it wouldn’t be that far fetched for them to juice packs at launch to hype the game and then drop them off a cliff to make sure the market doesn’t get flooded with high end rare cards. Up to this point it’s the worst pack luck I’ve had in 5 years.
@Dankmaymays
If this doesn’t illustrate the nerfed rewards this year perfectly I don’t know what does. Thank you for posting this as it will save many players the frustration of playing thru the entire map. I’ve just been focusing on playing games vs cpu and loading up rosters with the appropriate players until I hit all the numbers. 1 division down and 5 to go. I’m slow burning it.
@SP1D3RNAL
Yes the CPU pitching is better than it was but still annoying as heck.
Funny thing is that outside of the moment itself he has been solid. In the moment it took me at least 10 attempts and finally did it with timing hitting of all things. The rest of the moments I got done on my 1st or 2nd try so this one was maddening.
@genuinejam
Unless you are a hardcore competitive player, as in a streamer or play in tournaments for money, getting all the cards quickly and easily is a good thing for the vast majority of the player base. If you don’t fit the above criteria, get over yourself. This type of mindset is what has ruined a once great game. Selling out the majority of the player base for the vocal minority is pure garbage. Using the ridiculous 2K or Madden argument is icing on the cake and a weak pathetic cop out of an excuse.
This moment can go to you know where. Nothing but weak fly balls. Wet noodle bat. Hot garbage.
@YOSHI24
Glad I’m boring to you Yoshi. You are annoying and pretentious to me but we can agree to disagree when it comes to this game.
All in all I enjoyed 21 far more than every MLB game since because it was rewarding and allowed players to use their favorite players without buying ridiculously overpriced packs or waiting a month for the next program to drop.
That doesn’t make either of us right or wrong. Just 2 people with vastly different opinions. Based on public perception I’m guessing far more players would agree 21 was better than 24 but you can remain firmly in the vocal minority if you wish.
Most of those goons are either done working for the day or simply just unemployed and stay up all night while sleeping all day because it’s the thing to do.
@TubaTim90
If you think all these unaffordable packs and limiting stubs is the answer I have a bridge to sell you in New York. I remember Kluber and Degrom very well. Maybe the hardcore competitive guys hated that but if you are just playing casually having tons of affordable, fun, cards is great. That’s why so many of us loved 21 because it was fun using the cards we enjoyed.
Yep. The whole lineup diversity thing is bs and a cop out that isn’t even true. The fact people can’t make any stubs to even buy the packs kills lineup diversity. But these supporters simply refuse to acknowledge that point. Ignorance is bliss.
@GoozeFn
Yoshi is one of those few that would support SDS if they changed the game from baseball to curling. He refuses to acknowledge the game is in a bad state and was dramatically more rewarding and player friendly just a couple of years ago.
@Sarge1387
Yeah that’s true too. I often wonder how little people have going on in their lives to just troll others online. Tyler and a handful of others come to mind.
@Dolenz
Never expect everyone to agree. Do expect people to acknowledge the extremely obvious shift in SDS mentality and stop blantantly ignoring facts and living in denial.
@yankblan
Absolutely right. However, what I’ve seen is the die hard supporters don’t want to hear anything bad about the game even when it is staring them square in the face. So when a concern is voiced it is quickly extinguished and if all else fails people will just say it’s still better than Madden or 2K. There is no denying the game has been far less rewarding than years past and the packs and their prices being released reek of corporate greed. The game can still be fun but it’s a shell of what it was just a few years ago.
@aaronjw76
As long as the market is moving all is good in your world. People are frustrated bottom line but as long as the game makes money you don’t care and that’s exactly what SDS wants.
@TubaTim90
Excluding flipping of course, which you are probably doing if you have over 100K stubs and haven’t spent extra money on the game.
The tribalism on these forums is ridiculous. Anytime anyone brings up a valid negative point on the game the same 5 guys or so come to SDS’s defense. If you don’t like what they have to say then ignore it or move on. You don’t need to jump in like the avengers to save the day for SDS.
@The_Joneser
I don’t think it’s necessarily worse but I do think it’s just as bad and potentially worse by allowing SDS to continue down a path, without calling them out, that is souring a lot of players on the game at a record clip.
@Honor_The_Game44
Finally a great response that doesn’t involve the white knights arguing with people complaining about the game. Metrics and money tell the short term story but completely bypass the long term damage of driving away a fan base will have in future game installments. The game feels and plays empty, bottom line.
