@Ericulous1_PSN you mentioned that the end of the game is geared towards people that just bought it.
Yes, if someone just bought it they have a TON of content to play towards. But they also have to either spend more stubs than someone who's had it all year to get some of the cards. Ex: when we had the Finest program we were able to choose 3 players per division for a total of 18 players. We then had to buy the other 12. Now new players can only choose one player per division for a total of 6 players. They have to buy the other 24. Even at QS that a difference if 180/240K in stubs.
Also look at the set where Takashi Griffey is included. We got to choose 5 players. They get 1. And right now those cards are at/around 150+K
That's a chuck of change.
Also, there are 36 BR Bronze rewards. Unless they change it next program; you get to chose a total of 6 each time you earn 2 packs. If I'm not mistaken you can earn 6 Bronze packs per program. So they will have to wait until the new program to get the other ones. Same with Silver and Gold players plus the Diamonds.
They may have a lot to play for right now; but I'd they want any chance of playing with RS Brett, Cutch, Rollins, or Mantle; they have to do A LOT of grinding mixed in with some spending stubs. I bet it would cost about at least 10M to get where some of us are at now.
Oh I'm not arguing that it's easy for new players, just that there is nothing left for older players to do. My game is done. I totally get that I had way more opportunity to collect everything. I wouldn't care if every card was easy or free for the new people. I'm not competing with them or anyone else. I just want something to do for the next few months. I suppose I could play other games. The thing is, I'm just not really a gamer. I just love baseball.
@TheGoaler_PSN, I do like NBA 2K. I'll try career mode.
You could try franchise mode by rebuilding every team and see how long it takes, maybe rtts
I never did a whole lot of DD, being an offline player. I had tried mini seasons early on, but I never could build a good squad, so I did a lot of franchise, and never bothered to look at the packs.
Decided to look at mini-seasons again the other day and I find tons of 99 cards in my inventory that I have no idea how they got there. Now, every position on my squad is a 99. I'm not sure there's any point to the mini seasons now, except for something to kill time, but I thought it was interesting to just be given a ton of cards. I guess they showed up from playing franchise.
Yeah franchise gives you xp which then counts towards the featured program. I personally took like a 3 month break from dd from july-late October so recently I've been flipping a ton to buy all the cards I need for mantle and just grinding all the other programs.
