Exactly I just play now I don't even grind if you win alot you usually end up getting good cards

Same. Used to look forward to getting off work or grinding days off but grind for what?

Bro YOUR BY FAR MY FAVORITE KEEPING IT REAL THAT YOU BASICALLY GET YOUR STUBBS FOR FREE MEANING WRITING TH3M OFF AS A TAX EXEMPTION

You can’t spell “Greedy” without SDS too!

@@daryldixon3685Don’t even. The Show is NOWHERE NEAR as bad as 2K

@@Wrong_Hand_Drivewhen people say this, what they’re actually saying is “until the show monetization gets as bad as 2k and madden, we have no reason to complain” which is a terrible attitude

@@Maskkd No, but it doesn’t mean SDS is greedy

​@Maskkd This is a strawman to me. For me, it's moreso that The Show has *never* been even close to that level of monetization *and still stands in stark contrast to those other offerings in almost every way.* There are annoyances, sure, but to me it stems from a very fundamental misunderstanding of both this game's power structure and the power structure of the other offerings. What's "paywalled" in The Show is a) obtainable on the market and b) doesn't always represent a marked improvement over other, cheaper, offerings. I *still* start Gold Castro. He's *still* my best hitter on the team. He was free with pretty minimal grind in BR and is about 6k on the market. 2k's 84 overalls absolutely do not play in most circumstances at this point. Not even their Salary Cap mode. On top of that, the best cards *can't even be purchased on the market.* That isn't happening here. While the best cards are steep and that *is* annoying, they *are* still obtainable, even for me as a NMS player. A quick check of the market reveals only two players I can't afford right this second, and they're the two WS rewards that just came out yesterday and should be ~30k in a few weeks. And that stub count has not come via flipping or anything of that sort. I spend 99% of my time on the game just playing. I could absolutely keep going about the stark differences, but I assure you, it's not particularly close to even "trending in that direction" as some people claim. Yeah, it's totally annoying not to be able to have a crack at some of this stuff, but it's very crucially not *detrimental.*

Cuz they want to play online and be miserable

They dropped the amount of XP you get.

The live series collection was the old paywall this is the new one. It caps casuals from playing ranked

Why does everyone ALWAYS complain about every single sports game get over it it’s so stupid don’t play the game if u don’t like it pay to win is how they get money

@@Cartisjetcongrats, you’re the problem

@@CartisjetSDS burner

​@@CartisjetMLB the show had their following because it wasnt pay to play. Micro transactions are a new thing dude, and its scummy as fuck. And If you do buy a pack a guarantee you wont get anything you want.

@@Cartisjetnerd

Fuzzy Spitting fax today.

Damn... Didn't realize it til now... But that means I grinded over $100 bucks for Acuna. I need a life lol.

Packs/stubs are CRAZY expensive. And the pack odds are absolute garbage. They screwed this whole game up. Not to mention who wants to start over with 85s when season 2 starts. This sucks. When's NCAA football come out? 😂

@@330wiz7 Maybe if they sell packs for 10,000 stubs people think about it. The problem is when odds are fake.

I don't blame you. They completely ruined this game.

The pack odds are ridiculous. Worse than madden even. I stopped buying madden a long time ago. This will be the last time I buy the show.

the difference is 1 or 2 points, not 4-5. Still not great, but at least be honest.

This is in my opinion the only game thats easy to have a worse team and still destroy who you face. Ovr means jack shit in this game compared to others. Especially with parallels.

That week they also gave a DH Shohei Ohtani and there was a gold DH Chili Davis from BR you could get.

I think they hired someone from EA or 2K. Someone said a major position was being filled

P.S. Thank you, Fuzzy. The appreciation is strong.

online is just straight up not fun

They need to delete that xp cap we’re trying to get those 99s that’s at the end of the

There's moments in the TA2.

​@@TaniaRavenYTExtreme moments which will be tough for casual players.

@TaniaRavenYT there's 1 moment which is extreme casual players aren't able to do those they need to fix there gsme

Yeah the extreme moments is dumb

Lol WTH. It's not that hard. Besides, you said there's NO moments. You are WRONG! 😭😭

Following Activision and EA

Was thinking the same thing and I thought EA was a scammer company😂

Well you still have to spend $100 to get one of those bosses

@@SCBaseball18 no u don't 🤣 that just tells me u don't play Madden literally at all

@@RealSkyeBlue when I played last year, buying the more expensive bundles got you more cards needed to get a boss. If you played middle of the road you had an opportunity to get some of the pieces. The $100 bundles guaranteed you enough to get a boss. No idea how they do it now

This is the first time they’ve done it the fuck you mean they’ll always go pay to win

@@tgorefan yeah this is the first time any game has totally ever been pay to win. Have you played a game in the past ten years? Did you miss all the lawsuits and states saying pay to win games are just gambling? Fuck around boy

Same man I suck at the game

@@canaanlocke4375 The difficulty is wild to me. Too easy and home run every at bat. Adjust one level and I can’t touch the ball.

Yeah…you lose because half your team is live series. I believe you lose because of what you said in your first sentence. Even if I gave you money to complete live series and buy the best current cards, you’d still struggle because it’s not P2W. If you stink at the game, no team will help you

The show isn’t pay to win. But the content structure is absolutely a travesty. Buying all the best cards won’t suddenly make you a top 100 player

@@SCBaseball18 correct, buying a top tier team will not replace a thousand hours of playing the game. But seeing how only 100 out of the millions of people that buy the game are in the top 100, it is a clearly distinct advantage to everyone else to always have the best possible cards.

@@swilliams21231 what? No those players play on the hardest difficulty. They play each other. I wouldn’t be afraid of someone who plays the game a lot, has some of the 99s but a very average record. Let’s not act like the “100” people affect majority of the community because they won’t play those guys. I got to HoF and haven’t seen any outrageous teams with 94+ anywhere

@@SCBaseball18 you are the one who brought up the top 100. That’s what I’m saying. If you take two average players and one has bought all the best cards then they will have a clear advantage over the other. That doesn’t mean that they can’t still lose because there are elements of skill and heavy RNG in the game. But that doesn’t change the fact that you can get an immediate sizable advantage by spending money.

@@swilliams21231 you said it’s pay to win. If it really is, then average players shouldn’t have an issue moving up the ranks right?? Where’s this advantage if someone just can’t hit or pitch consistently? Is 95 Ian haap going to magically make you a tremendous hitter if you struggle to hit now? Get real. P2W exists in games where AI is heavily involved because they mask your incompetencies. You can’t hide your incompetencies in mlb since it’s just you. And you’re telling me with TA cards, Tony Clark, willi Castro, Byron or arenado captain, jd Davis, Randy Johnson, and other free cards, you can’t compete????

Yeah, when the cards have zero value because they’ll be unusable when season 2 comes out

Team affinity wasn’t broken up like this last year, where each team gets THREE cards each season When each team got ONE card it worked, but there’s just no realistic way it could work in the same model again So I don’t have any ‘issues’ with that I think what most people have been concerned with is the lack of programs and lack of ability to earn any of the pack cards, and there’s A LOT of pack cards like that, this year I’ve never had any issue with SDS putting the ABSOLUTE best cards in the game into Chase packs, because they need to give the crazy whales a ‘reason’ to pump money into the game, but when stuff like Seoul Series, Pipeline Series etc could’ve EASILY had a quick program attached to at least earn one of the packs, but that just didn’t happen…….. that wasn’t a great sign

I’ve had more luck with the regular show packs then any other packs this year.

This is true and it’s impressive that you did the math but you can still get free normal packs and ballin packs and that can help you get more stubs.

Because they went back to a power creep format to keep us grinding longer
