I will not be playing if seasons return. I have already quit for this entire year.

Just because you believed you did doesn’t make it true. Sorry for trying to help.

Do you have 60k xp?

SDS sucks. I hate them. They must of hired someone new at the top or Sony got involved. This year is horrible. One disappointment after another.

No it's not. I know GomesDaLegend and a lot of other streamers were saying that but you don't get a free wildcard.

That guy is dumb. He has been saying that forever and I knew he was wrong.

We have 27 days left to use these TA3 cards These cards are no sell. With limited time left you would think SDS would make it easier to acquire these cards. Instead they made it harder. Why?

Never mind I see their post.

How have I completed the Season 1 collection through 150 cards locked in and today I log on and have only 136 Season 1 cards with 0 uncollected? I have the 150 card collection reward. Did they remove some cards from the collection that I already collected? What is going on?

Great job guys! Now in less than 30 days you lose the ability to use most of the cards. How great is that?!

@MarioMendoza935 said in Where do you stand coming into TA 1.3?:

Here's where I am:

TA 1.1 - done
TA 1.2 - done
Season 1 XP - 900k
Collection - Set 1 - 234. Just got Brock. I put him in an Event game, he led off with a Home Run, so he's the best player by far in all of 2024.
Collection - Hyper - done
Collection - Live Series - not even close. Missing the "big 6" teams.

I've only bought a few cards - mainly, ones that are near QS value. After TA 1.3 and the next BR, I should be able to get to the 280 Set 1 collection Choice pack, but not sure about 300 or 325.

Good job! You should be done with set 3 just in time to not be able to use most of your cards. Hurry!

@n1panchal said in TA 1.3 Reveals - AL East, NL East, AL West, NL Central:

looks like the pack market is about to severely crash when these cards come out

Not for long. You only get to use the cards for a few weeks if you hurry getting them. Most ppl will get to use them a week or two.

If not dead yet a lot of people will be leaving when their cards are unusable. I will be gone after season 1. I have almost 200 hours in the game. That’s enough to justify my original purchase. Besides they will probably have the first unlock of a wildcard at 1000000 XP.

The pack odds do show up NOW on PS but they didn’t when I posted that. Congrats to anyone pulling good cards!!

Yep me too. Death by a million cuts is a good analogy for this year’s game. SDS has made a ton of small changes all geared towards monetization and consequently ruining the rewards and overall player experience. I play the game because I love baseball but it’s nowhere near as enjoyable as it was in 20 or 21 and even 22 and 23 felt more rewarding. This game just feels hollow, greedy and a little scummy. Before I hear Madden, NBA, and FIFA are worse save your breath. That’s not how comparisons work. You compare this game to past versions of this game not to other sports games that are well known to be predatory trash.

I have a NMS 98 ovr team currently in Madden and 5m coins

I dont get the hate ... they love money too but I am at 100K coins and 93 ovr in MLB

Go pay 40000 of that 100000 and get 5 golds and come back and tell us how you feel. That is a predatory ripoff of your customers. It can’t even be argued. They didn’t even post odds for that pack.

Exactly. I think this year will ruin this games reputation amongst the players. Unless major changes are made. But I do not expect that. SDS is still making good money. Until that changes I am afraid this is what we will have from now on.

Leaving after season 1. Too many actually good games that I want to play. Most of the content in this game is in packs. This game is terrible. I hate seasons and losing cards.

Anyone else get 5 golds in the season 1 vault pack or am I just that lucky? Glad I didn’t pay 40000 stubs for that [censored].

I rated this years game a 1 and if they would let me return it I would. I was so dumb to even buy it. On the bright side you can be a girl in RTTS lol.

Next year if they do not come out early with how they are going to fix this mess of a game I will not buy it. I felt like something was up when we didn’t receive any info about the game until the last minute.

@yankblan said in SDS's Real Power Creep Strategy:

@SuntLacrimae50 Nah man, the fact that a grown man spends so much time on a forum spewing hate and expletives over and over again for the same 3-4 grievances is not normal. Sane, happy people don't feel the same compulsions as you.

The need to answer with sarcasm is another sign. Deep breath, it'll be okay.

Sane happy people don’t put hundreds of miles hours into an arcade baseball game. So welcome to the group.

In other words, SDS has no real vision. It's just trying to keep the mob happy while monetizing.

How's that working for them?

You are salty about this, man

I actually do get where you're coming from, and I do agree that there should be more paths to stubs earned in-game... I just don't think they should be so plentiful that we don't have to make decisions as to which cards we keep. This is a me thing, for sure, but I like to approach it almost as if I'm making GM decisions about my team; if that shiny new CF looks like a card I'd like to have, then I might have to sell another card in my lineup to get it. But, then again, I've been an A's fan for nearly 45 years, so trying to put a team together with peanuts and found pennies feels like home.

Besides, keeping "the mob happy while monetizing" seems to be how the world works these days, and I don't begrudge any company from dipping their quill in that well, particularly when they're asked to constantly provide new content and make improvements throughout an entire release cycle after making a one-time sale. I mean, they need some degree of monetization to do that... I guess I'm okay with that; I think it's unreasonable to expect hundreds of hours of entertainment for $69.99.

Really? I have tons of games that I have played for hundreds of hours for less than 69.99. Try Balders Gate 3. Any Final Fanasy non-mmo game. SDS makes enough money on game sales alone to make a huge profit.
