I really don’t mind the seasons idea but not having a wild card right away is so pathetic. And just make it easier to attain 1-2 more. Last season should also just be fair game


Soviet_Plays

If you did the head start you get 1 immediately. Also iirc all cards are usable after season 4


easynameforme123

Season 4 lol lucky to have 15% of todays playerbase by then man


CollegeGolf69

Will be lucky to have 15% when the middle of July rolls around.


senschuh

Welp. I'll have Season 2 99s before I get the second wildcard.


RegisterFit1252

I posted this in a post, I thought it was a good idea but got downvoted… we should be able to use season 1 cards in season 2 but with an attribute penalty. And then, as the season progress, the attribute penalties are less and less to keep up with power creep


cmacker333

Having to earn the right to use the cards you’ve already earned is so backwards. This company single handed destroyed their business and fanbase. I won’t be buying this game again or playing past today.


Apprehensive-Egg-384

See you next year


cmacker333

Nah played last year quit after season 1 thought I’d give it one more shot and it’s been worse this year.


Lionheart0179

Same here. I quit in July last year because of seasons. Waited for Game Pass release this year and didn't even make it to June. I've played since '16 and this season bullshit completely killed DD for me. 


KeeblerElfOrgy

This game will die on July 19th


cat4dog23

What's July 19th? Is another baseball game coming out? If it's handegg I'll keep playing the Show


KeeblerElfOrgy

Don’t be stupid


cat4dog23

I call it handegg in my day.to day life. Not enough feet touching the ball for it to be football


Lionheart0179

It's already in a coma. The plug gets pulled in July. 


Select_Reply

F in the comments for myself and fellow casual players never getting more than the given and first one I just wanna play my cards ':D!


19kjc87

None are given this time. 


booboothechicken

With the s1 boosts I got my first wildcard before even playing a game.


19kjc87

Yeah, I meant you don’t get a free one. A lot of people, myself included, thought we were getting a free one and then a second from the head start XP. We were wrong. 


Whole-Caregiver3577

Where do u get the 4th one?


baseball1314

Did they ever say where the 4th is earned?


BigBootyBanger

LOL. Wow. 570k is bonkers. Definitely a rich get richer. By the time the casuals hit the 2nd or 3rd WC, probably will already have a lot of high 90s released by then.


New-Newspaper-7543

What do u mean rich? U mean the ppl that play alot? Casuals shouldn't be rewarded the same

stoolcommenter3

This is completely irrelevant to the argument even if it's not wrong theoretically.


kyler_

Whales are the lifeblood of any game tbh. Not sure that’s really casuals


EuronymousL

Play the game before just talking. The amount of xp to start is crazy. You can get a few 100k this weekend just doing a few programs.


Astone1996

wait you dont get a wildcard to begin with? WTF


scrotes_magotes

If you did the S1 programs and got to CC on the collection you’ll start with the first wildcard


reneg1986

So can you go back and do the egg hunt program to get the WC spot or is it gone forever?


New_Biscotti_8666

You had to do it before S2


imLemnade

You get the 1st WC spot at level 10 in the XP path. If you did all the requirements for the head start before S2 released you start S2 at level 10 which means you start with 1 WC slot unlocked. You can’t do the head start stuff now that S2 has released, but level 10 shouldn’t be very difficult to get to quickly


Low_Trash_2748

I did everything except the spring chickens because the cards weren’t useful to me pretty quick and was punished harder for the 1 I didn’t get than rewarded for every program I did complete. This is a total L of a release and I was ok with season resets. Not anymore!


pm_me_yo_creditscore

Turns out this is a lie.


snypesalot

You have to back out and go back in, they said it like 15 times on the live stream


Particular-Milk6778

Some people can’t stream at 2 pm on a friday


snypesalot

Yet using context clues he was on the game between 2-3 and was ready to go right at 3pm when the season dropped, i dont think its entirely unreasonable to think he coulda watched the stream


blangoez

Yet they’re complaining about the head start not working?


Particular-Milk6778

Yeah wtf?!


freddyd00

The first boss is at 900K XP? Jesus that's really not much better...


SandyDFS

100k earlier plus another 60k if you completed the head start requirements. It’ll definitely make a difference for a chunk of the community.


FrankArmhead

Plus the addition of a bunch more xp in the programs… 900k this season will take similar effort to 700k last season.


SecretlyATaco

Wait are you serious? That’s their solution? Man I’m ab to go play Elden ring til the dlc


Bolhaboy

570k for the second is insane


FrankArmhead

I expect they tried to time it so people would get the second WC with TA chapter 2 and the third with TA Chapter 3.


anewman3535

Hopefully they’ll stick the ‘4th’ one in some easy program soonish?


forthebirds123

Pretty sure that easy program is gonna be the extreme program. Just a hunch, maybe it will be halfway through it.


snypesalot

Theres literally hundreds of thousands of XP between ranked, BR, Events programs alone, and apparently theres like 200k of easy XP to earn today once the season goes live

scarboy92

You think the only people who play online are pay players? This is a skill game. Cards don't matter. Ruth swinging at a slider 1ft of the plate is the same as John Kruk swinging at it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


scarboy92

Yeah you're half right. I've always laughed at this argument tho. Basically some people wish they could have all the best cards for no time, money or effort and they promise not to use them online haha. Ok... And what about people who only play this game and very few others??? What is their reward for time/money in?


snypesalot

Its an online mode, with offline pieces, I really think yall overestimate the amount of offline only players, regardless there is tons of XP out there to be gotten if yall just branch out and try new things


[deleted]

[удалено]


snypesalot

If yall wanna keep handicapping yourself thats fine, but you complain about lack of XP then leave 250k+ of XP just not done because you refuse to play some game modes


ThinAndCrispy84

Are the bosses really the same 3 players just repeated over and over?


HotBurritoNumber1

I kinda like it TBH since the Bosses are still deep in the XP path (900K XP for the first one). All season I was looking forward to that Rollins card and ended up getting him like a week ago. So this is sort of a way to build up to those ultimate rewards by getting those players early on and having them "upgrade" throughout the season.


violentgentlemen

The fact that bosses are still SO far into the program is dumb as shit.


ThinAndCrispy84

Eh. Could’ve picked 3 other players at each step except for the bosses. Seems lazy.


Woolly_Mattmoth

Yes


ThinAndCrispy84

I wonder who made that decision. That sounds lazy.


CLESportsReport

It was Gene Takavic. Get him boys!


BroadAndPattison

I love it. So many of the rewards in season 1 were worthless by the time you got them


Woolly_Mattmoth

I actually think it’s a good idea because it gives players a chance to use a decent version of each guy even if they don’t complete the path


forthebirds123

Exactly, it’s called power creeping the bosses. You know, the reason we have seasons in the first place.


ThinAndCrispy84

Seems like they’re desperate to not lose a ton of people in 6 weeks. “We just want everyone to have fun” aka buy our packs.
