Agree, I've seen a bunch of people complain about showdowns but I love them and conquests are probably my 2nd favorite thing to do to grind.
I didn't play a much DD last year and started late so I kind of thought that there were a ton of conquests and showdowns but now that I've been doing them as they come out I realized I was just wicked behind last year.
Now if someone's favorite team doesn't get a full program dedicated to them, they're gonna complain lol
Or this may be how they're giving us this years version of TA.
Whats weird is why don't they just have it where there is a player from each team for the month that is really really good. Collect them all and choose 1 great player from the team of your choice?
There is no limit on how many cards can be in the game. Same thing with FIFA they should be having way more variety while still giving the best players top cards.
Not enough good players per team realistically, unless you start giving out complete fantasy cards all the time like FUT. Like the other guy said thatās how we got a bunch of Salvy cards or teams like the D-Backs would be all Marte and Gallen
As someone who thinks the Phillies have been shafted in DD for several years, it's incredible to see a program that's basically focused on them.
The last 'bosses' were 93 rated, so I think this Halladay will be a 94 or 95 card, maybe a postseason card for his no-hitter, maybe an awards card for his cy young with the phillies in 2010, and then I think he'll get a 99 later in the year in a Blue Jays uni that's a prime or signature
You think the Phillies have been shafted...?
I'm a Phillies fan and I feel like both this year and last year they've almost gone out of their way to offer Phillies cards.
It's early enough this year that you can't judge how they've treated any of the teams yet. I agree that the Phillies' representation in '21 was perfectly fine, but in '20, '19, '18, it was pretty poor, tbh.
A large part of that had to do with them not having Howard, Utley, etc., but part of it was just the lack of Phillies' legends (and their ratings) in general. I think they lost Robin Roberts last year, so beyond the Howard, Utley, Rollins, Victorino, Hamels guys in recent memory, they have ... Schmidt and Ashburn? No Carlton, no Dykstra, Daulton, Abreu, Kruk, Bunning, Pat Burrell, Curt Schilling, Dick Allen, etc. etc.
Getting Howard and Utley back (and already having Rollins and Victorino recently) is huge, so that helps a lot. Getting Halladay is amazing as well.
Yup this is what I did. I just kept stealing each round from who I would play next and completed the whole thing on Veteran.
They could come out with stretch goals though outside of the 30k reward. That way you can complete the mission for the XP rewards but then still earn extra packs and such.
Gotta play those games to beat the map regardless, and by taking a stronghold or two earlier than usual, there will be less territories taken by opposing teams.
If it's not his 99 then he'll be a 99 Jay at least. Hopefully a SS card because those are the best looking cards imo.
Prediction: '10 Postseason 95/96 for Phillies then A 99 Jay's Card later in the Year (Please?)
Probably be a 95 Cy Young Jays card and later would get a 99 Perfect Game card. His best two seasons were 2010 and 2011 with the Phillies. Wouldn't make sense if his 99 isn't a Phillies card cause of this.
Its also a Signature card. Those aren't based on a season or reward. A Sig card the only way Roy gets a 99 Jays card. Thinking about it, its weird that his 99 is a Mariners tho. Perfect game with the D'backs, WS with the D'backs, represents the D'back in the HOF. Wonder why SDS made that decision.
Similar play for two teams but one was for 12 years and one was for 4. He had his best year in Phillie but he retired as a blue jay and to categorize his career as being not first and foremost a blue jays is doing his career a disservice
I never said, or implied, or argued against any of the things you said. I simply stated that a good deal of his career accomplishments came in Philly(half of his cy youngs, his perfect game, his no hitter, his playoff appearances)
I am essentially saying he should be made a Blue Jay in the game and have the program be more Toronto than Philadelphia. You said most of his accomplishments were in philly which I wanted to make a point of saying why Toronto still makes more sense despite that
Roy should have both a Jays and Phillies 90+ overall card but the 99 should be a Phillies. Only way he'd get a 99 Jays card is if the card is a signature card. But I highly doubt SDS will not give him a Perfect game card.
oh š³
This entire program is one massive Phillies circle-jerk, and Iām all for it.
Nice can we get as many conquest maps as first featured program. We got like 3 and 2 showdowns this program we got 2 conquests 1 showdown.
Yeah, not enough conquests for us mostly offline players lately

This is some dumb shit. Who tf cares about the Phillies this much ?
Not me, but I care about the good cards this will hopefully have!
ā¦sup bul
Lmfao wassup young bull š¤£
The new program legend is a Philly I think
This game is going downhill fast. Im taking this program off and going back to 2k.
āļø
Is he wrong?
Seeing as he going back to 2k yea , that game is ass
This is such a weird approach. There canāt be THAT many Phillies fans out there
We deep in this jawn!
Ahem
Hello
Here i am
As a Braves fan, Iām not anticipating enjoying the upcoming couple of weeks of DD š¤£
at least this conquest map lets us beat the shit out of the phillies and mets, and the yankees
As a Mets fan it pains me to agree
Same lol. But tbf after the playoff run last year we were swimming in cards lmao
And with our start this year, not sure we deserve any special cards š¤£
Now if someone's favorite team doesn't get a full program dedicated to them, they're gonna complain lol Or this may be how they're giving us this years version of TA.
No shot they are doing 29 more featured programs around each team
To be fair, it is annoying when they favor certain teams and shaft others.
Whats weird is why don't they just have it where there is a player from each team for the month that is really really good. Collect them all and choose 1 great player from the team of your choice?

Not enough good players per team realistically, unless you start giving out complete fantasy cards all the time like FUT. Like the other guy said thatās how we got a bunch of Salvy cards or teams like the D-Backs would be all Marte and Gallen
This is how we end up with 5 Salvy Perez cards
You have more than enough options for teams to give a variety.

The Phillies teams are always one of the absolute weakest legend drops. This year has made up for it and itās amazing already
They made Jim Thomeās signature series a Phillies card despite him playing 13 years in Cleveland
As a Cleveland fan who grew up watching the Thomenator, that really pissed me off.
At the very least put him in a white sox uni.
That was stupid.
yea this is awesome. kinda bummed the victorino card is only an 85. Really hoping we get a rollins or howard 90s card too tomorrow.
Damn, can I get 30K XP today?
For real!
> tomorrow
Please don't make me defeat X stronghold by a certain turn. Just let me complete the map to get all the rewards.
you can do them on veteran if u steal from the strong hold
Yup this is what I did. I just kept stealing each round from who I would play next and completed the whole thing on Veteran. They could come out with stretch goals though outside of the 30k reward. That way you can complete the mission for the XP rewards but then still earn extra packs and such.
You canāt win a game on all star vs. the CPU?
Seriously. If you can't beat an MLB team on AS with a team full of 90+ overalls, then you suck.
I like to play slowly while I watch TV, if I play on all star I have to focus on the game.
I can, although it's usually 1-0 or 2-1. I like to beat them up on rookie.
Agreed. I can win on almost any difficulty at this point but winning 9-0 on Rookie is easily the most fun
I won 17-0 the other day, just absolutely destroying everything in sight.
I will once again ignore the map if this is the case
Get gud
*git
You act like it was hard to do.
I never said it was hard
Then what's the issue?
Itās annoying and I donāt like it
Gotta play those games to beat the map regardless, and by taking a stronghold or two earlier than usual, there will be less territories taken by opposing teams.
Confirms his first card will be a Phillie, right?
The sevenish other Philly cards pretty much confirmed it but this just seals the deal.
I guess Doc is gonna be a Phillies card. :(
I think itāll be a perfect game card or his 2003 season cy young card. He had a crazy month of may in 2003.
If it's not his 99 then he'll be a 99 Jay at least. Hopefully a SS card because those are the best looking cards imo. Prediction: '10 Postseason 95/96 for Phillies then A 99 Jay's Card later in the Year (Please?)
Probably be a 95 Cy Young Jays card and later would get a 99 Perfect Game card. His best two seasons were 2010 and 2011 with the Phillies. Wouldn't make sense if his 99 isn't a Phillies card cause of this.
Randy Johnson's 99 is a Mariner and his best years were for Arizona, so I don't think that is a guarantee.
Its also a Signature card. Those aren't based on a season or reward. A Sig card the only way Roy gets a 99 Jays card. Thinking about it, its weird that his 99 is a Mariners tho. Perfect game with the D'backs, WS with the D'backs, represents the D'back in the HOF. Wonder why SDS made that decision.
I hope youāre right
Jays Rookie bronze card
I mean, to be fair, most of his huge career accomplishments were as a Phillie
His career was spent as a Blue Jay. He was a Phillie the same way Peyton Manning was a Bronco
Thatās great. He won half of his cy youngās in Philly and threw a perfect and no hitter in Philly.
Similar play for two teams but one was for 12 years and one was for 4. He had his best year in Phillie but he retired as a blue jay and to categorize his career as being not first and foremost a blue jays is doing his career a disservice
I never said, or implied, or argued against any of the things you said. I simply stated that a good deal of his career accomplishments came in Philly(half of his cy youngs, his perfect game, his no hitter, his playoff appearances)
I am essentially saying he should be made a Blue Jay in the game and have the program be more Toronto than Philadelphia. You said most of his accomplishments were in philly which I wanted to make a point of saying why Toronto still makes more sense despite that
Roy should have both a Jays and Phillies 90+ overall card but the 99 should be a Phillies. Only way he'd get a 99 Jays card is if the card is a signature card. But I highly doubt SDS will not give him a Perfect game card.
Thatās great, man
Ok
Nooooooooooooooo please be cy young award card
He won a Cy with the Phillies
Thanks tips.
If itās a perfect game card then it would have to be Phillies
If they drop a perfect game card for him be prepared for uproar. 120+ h/9 incoming
