The hole depth just was multiplied by 20 lol. I’m 1.1 million Stubbs worth away from Rolen , still 125k away from Donaldson and 52k away from Degrom.

@TripleH-4481_PSN I just did the math , currently sitting about 1.1 million Stubbs away from the Scott Rolen. That’s with having completed every single piece of offline content besides what dropped today.

Between cards I’m missing , and the ones in LS collections I’ve not finished that’s pretty daunting. I think if I want to play baseball I’ll go back to show 24.

Packs have always been bad , but there is zero RNG protection for a person who doesn’t purchase bundles. I personally save my Stubbs and use them on players for different sets , but that’s tied to pack RNG. If I don’t get valuable items I don’t have Stubbs to spend.

I’ve hit a wall , and yeah I know I can go play the same diamond quest until my thumbs bleed but for me that isn’t enjoyable. It’s a repeat experience every time.

Over the past 250+ regular TS packs I’ve pulled a LS Michael Harris , 1 Chase pack ( Trea Turner ) I’ve yet to see a diamond all year from a ballin in a gold pack , and headliners are almost always silvers with the occasional diamond jersey.

Too much progress is hidden behind the packs , so I completely understand the guys who mostly play online needing to take the gamble. For me I play offline mostly , I’ve hit a wall. I would be willing to bet I’m currently 5-600k Stubbs needed to even consider the Rolen collection that dropped today as I’ve not even completed half the eggs , and I’m still 2 cards from NL Donaldson. One being an 80k card and the other being a boss pack card where I will HAVE to pick a card I don’t want to throw into a collection.

I’m not motivated to do any of it. I’ll likely bow out for the year and hold off on future preorders as to gauge if things change for the better

PCA and Elly are great bench players. Both speedy , PCA can play any OF position , Elly is as fast but can play a couple spots in the infield while having a competent bat vs RHP. Ricky is okay if you don’t have those other two.

We are two weeks into the second inning right? I know of at least two programs coming this week that’ll have xp benchmarks with chunks , and you have the Jolt voucher for whatever that is plus any conquest chunk xp. I wouldn’t be overly concerned

@YOSHI24_XBL Not everything in the game needs to be catered to H2H. The cpu will start the pitcher that it’s programmed to start.

On the H2H side you’d just have to code it where if you start a RHP , you can only call in RH starters from your pen and lay a 3 inning minimum on the SP. . Then it would be no different than it is currently. It really wouldn’t be that hard.

These cards wouldn’t be so terrible if we had a vs LHP and a vs RHP option for lineups once the starters are declared

I would attempt to use a third party WiFi router. Your issue is likely equipment related , and the settings of said equipment

@Beaterrr_XBL

I’m guessing my pack luck is an outlier , or at least hoping for the rest of the communities sake lol. My best pull was from the jumbo pack a week or so ago , pulled a LS Skubal.

I’ve completed weekend classic (4-2) , all spotlight programs , all player programs , all diamond quests , both mini seasons , the first inning program , all themed programs all conquest maps (besides Rockies city connect
) , I have 18 Jolt cards , and I’ve done some in expensive LS collections + Braves. I bought the 3 jumbo packs to start the year and ordered digital delux.

I currently have 182k Stubbs and as of right now I’m on a 226 straight The Show packs without a LS Diamond pull drought. All earned packs btw none bought with Stubbs. I’ve also opened 14 straight headliners without a Diamond , 21 straight BIAH packs without a Diamond.

Just feel like for the time I’ve put in , and my ‘moderate’ level of skill I should be further into my collections or overall progression.

Am I missing something or are these recent collections trending towards buy your way to the top cards?

John Donaldson is locked behind PvP or buying nearly 200k Stubbs worth of cards.

Looks like DeGrom is locked behind 20 pack cards?

Idk how many of these packs you’ll get via conquest and the program but I counted 2. That’s 10/28 required of the 29 available. So we’re looking at at least 50k Stubbs for DeGrom? Where are NMS offline players getting the Stubbs for these collections?

I’m not trying to complain , maybe I’m missing something but I don’t recall program collections being this stubb heavy in the past.

Now the newest collection is locked behind several LS collections and PvP cards that I still don’t have. Fading fast as [censored] over here. Getting close to Madden territory for me. I’m not going to drop 100’s of dollars so I can play weekend classic and compete once a month when I get the itch

@dmc04005_PSN said in Egg Hunt Program:

Let’s get ahead of this now.

You’re going to have to find an egg in a showdown.

I repeat, you’re going to have to play showdown to find an egg.

So we’re in for at least another week of people complaining they had to play showdown to complete a program.

SDS you have the opportunity to do something really funny and make us play a showdown multiple times to get an egg that’s required to finish the program. And I hope the final boss is either Randy or Donaldson with common lefty batters on GOAT.

Bring it on. Been waiting for something to do

I wouldn’t have minded the showdowns if I weren’t still 200k Stubbs worth of cards still needed locked in for the Donaldson. They’ll probably add to this later on and make the set easier to complete but by the power creep is likely well past the card. That’s been the model this year , spend your Stubbs as an offline player to bankroll the online guys or spend your time as offline player feeding online guys pxp and wins.

@domdw99_PSN I must not have qualified for the league in which it was rewarded

I’m not one of those that thinks a perfect perfect should always be a hit , but I can honestly tell you I have LOST COUNT of how many perfect/perfect foul balls I’ve hit where I’ve been given a measurement on how close they were to home runs.

How is this card even acquired? Couldn’t find an avenue to it or the Correa card

I voiced my distaste with lack of updated mini seasons , lack of repeatable conquest maps , and the overall structure of the offline players needing to bank roll the online players so that we can complete collections.

I also on multiple occasions expressed how silly it is that the most time efficient way to compete program moments for DD is actually from the main menus and the fact that if I was to play 2 vs 2 casual with a group of 4 that I have to exploit the matchmaking system.

Once my factory warranty was up on my series x I started dismantling it , cleaning it and reassembling it once every 3-4 months. Those guys fill with dust

I stopped playing on rookie because I got tired of the additional time every at bat took. If you’re disciplined , and have a mediocre skill set AllStar at coors or a created park is the way to grind imo.

Just pick a different pitcher and skip facing him all together

Time spent vs reward given to me is the stopper. Additionally the fact that somebody put time into making this content is even worse. They wasted their time creating it and now we’re to waste our time playing it. It’s a shame this level of creativity isn’t used year round
