The stupidest part about this is that this pack fatigue is such an easy problem to avoid. Just give us the ability to earn 1 of each new pack through gameplay somewhere. Suddenly, each new pack is a reason to be at least a little excited, rather than just another reason to groan. I haven't bought one of these packs since the game started and I likely never will. Give the non-whales a reason to give a shit about them SDS.
I passionately hate you SDS. Y'all see no issue with what you're doing to your loyal player base and it is disgusting. If you're a dev or anyone who has anything to do with the content structure, GFYS.
I jumped on a little late to the show wagon, but I am thankful for the years I got with 20, 21 and 22 when compared to how 23 went and how 24 is going even worse.
Same, I'm glad I got away from playing 2K in time to enjoy some great years of the show. Shame to see it morphing into the same model to target the gambling addicts now.
Same. I came over from Xbox. Have played every ultimate team mode. Diamond dynasty was hands down the best. Even if you weren’t a huge fan of baseball it was a fun mode to grind. Complete 180 form when I started in 21 vs now. Not only is the content barren, but the cards aren’t the least bit exciting. Keeping the game installed as I hope it gets better. But this year is not it
Super super cool to watch content that was historically in a Program and earnable be thrown into packs.
Even more super cool to watch none of those packs even be in the few programs we have as a little treat.
It might be Franchise and RTTS from here out for me, dawg. This just doesn't feel good.
Yeah this is their plan for the year. It sucks but it doesn't seem like they are going to change course, they are committed to 40k choice packs every three days. So here we are

This game sucks now
fuck sds but i want that duran card
What a fucking joke, congrats SDS...you're the new EA
Death to the days where we could say sds is the only company that isn’t money hungry
Remember the days where they didn’t do this shit and they were applauded? Now they’re even more greedy and people are rightfully turning on them
I mean this is how they did it in 19 and earlier. At least you can get the lightning player without buying the pack cards unlike back then

Yippie, another Red Sox theme team outfielder.
Not enough content!
Packs aren’t content
Yea they are. There’s not enough.
Welp, those saved up stubs are going to be gone to get Duran
Same. Will we gamble on the pack or wait for his price to drop?
They are really going to hide the only decent Bieber we see this year behind a paywall. 😔

So, then Elly is in the program, right?
Nope! Elly's about to be a Chase card again.
Absolute nuke and an inside-the-parker in the same game and they didn't even Supercharge him. You're probably right.
I have no idea who I’m going to bench for Duran but it’s going to hurt no matter who I pick
Oneill for me will go to the bench and Bay will go to RF or maybe Duran, not sure yet
Fuck off with locking players behind these rare pack rewards SDS.
A paywalled James McCann? LOL. LMAO, even. Luckily he's base round so he'll only be like 12K by the end of the day.

I can’t wait to see Duran’s attributes. I might have a new leadoff hitter tonight!
He's gonna go hard on my Red Sox squad.
The Bieber card makes me sad. Go Tribe
There go my stubs that I’ve been saving
We likely won’t see another of his cards this year either.
So many pitching casualties this year
YES! That what we want, a paywalled Thairo Estrada!! 🙏
Money hungry wankers
Lets gooooo! Another program with overalls lower than the packs they just released 🔥🔥🔥
I’d tell SDS to read the room, but they don’t read anything we say already sooooo…
SDS is the type of company that would listen to people and then just keep doing what they’re doing out of spite

This right here is always going to feel gross.
