I have almost 400 Ranger Suarez’s imma likely have 1.5 million stubs day one of season two…. and yet I’m not really excited (rant time be patient lol) -events are boring and unoriginal -ranked seasons is just facing the Santana boost over and over again -mini seasons takes too long, has too many cutscenes, and is boring and not rewarding enough -conquest is obviously not something to play consistently -BR rewards are ruined with the random 10 win reward that you can’t see, and flawless is a really impossible thing for the average player to get anyway -most people have storylines done, and while it’s cool, it’s not really rewarding either -gameplay has many flaws, like smaller pci on sliders in the strike zone, players faces messing up because of small updates, too many very late/very early swings for hits, foul balls are really bad, batters eye is on the field for some reason, etc… -co-op sucks, with too many glitches and issues, like having a cool down timer of an hour when your opponent leaves the game and you get the loss for some reason. -the content structure is WAY too pack-centric -not enough other programs and stuff for offline players to do -until recently not enough packs in programs -collections are really hard for NMS players -XP reward path for me was a grind, I played 160 hours in season one and only spun the wheel three times (about 2 hrs/day) -having a team affinity every month is a hell of a grind, and isn’t something that offline players want to be the PRIMARY/ONLY thing they can really play
IMO the Main Program was excruciatingly long and a grudge to work through. Excepting this 4-5 day lull, I play every day, multiple games. I do all the programs. All the Team Affinity. All the Conquest. About the only thing I DON'T do is online/pvp items. But otherwise I play multiple hours a day. And Yes, I did play more on double-xp periods. I have the Live series done and achieved the first ... whatever the higher pack thing is (not the boss packs) in the S1 program (there are 3 of them, I got the 1st). And I have all but the main uniform collections done. Not to say 100% full on everything, but enough that it "completes" the collections. So yeah. I put in my time. With that said, I BARELY got the first boss pack! It wasn't until the re-cap program and the buckets of XP they dished out that I was able to complete the Main Program. If not for that - I wouldn't have. (And *only* because of that do I actually have this lull, since I'm finally done and see no need to grind the loop). And based on how much I play ... IMO that's a problem. Because even though I certainly wouldn't call myself hard core, I definitely play more than a casual player. I barely scraped across the finish line. More casual players probably didn't even get a boss pack.
My game had some kind of error. I was only able to collect 245 season 1 cards, but the game registered that I collected 283 and gave me the packs for those levels. I counted the cards and I only have 245, so not sure what happened or if it will mess something up later.
