It seems like with the amount of time they spent coming up with new content, they could have come up with a way to give the offline players a way to grinds for the prestige players as well. Even if it's not the same players as online, jack up the the grind and give the offline crowd a chance at similar cards.

I didn't get a single pack and I watched 5 or so. Oh well.

it's no big deal until you see the YouTube streamers opening twitch packs and getting Mike trout and Nolan arenado. I'm still convinced the YouTubers packs are juiced. They want us peasants to pay for packs and end up with commons and bronzes.

I pulled Trout from a Twitch pack Friday. I'm not a YouTuber, and I'd hardly call my packs juiced - it's the only diamond I've pulled from a pack so far. Only others are the Mantle and Glavine I chose from the presale choice packs.

But I still feel like there are a lot of money grabs this year.

As the Red Sox, I got Yelich and Realmuto in separate trades that included Chavis, Verdugo, and prospects.

Collecting cards all season kept me interested. Brought me back to the days of collecting growing up - minus the need of finding space for the boxes of physical cards.

This does happen, but I see grounders directly at the infielder with a runner on third and infield pulled in for an easy out and rally killer more often.

I pulled him from a Twitch pack as well. I spent half of last year chasing all the high diamonds.

I can understand the intention of not allowing you to exchange or quick selling cards after you've locked them in (I don't agree with it, but can understand it), but, what's the point of making these cards unsellable from the beginning? Seems like more than just an oversight.

I was wondering the same thing. Thanks.

I'm interested to see how everyone approaches the LS collection. How do you choose which teams to complete first - cheapest or best rewards? Are you concerned with completing the team before getting the level 10 TA pack? Do you lock in all 40 cards at the same time, or take the stubs/XP for each group of 10 and piecemail the team until it's completed? Do you complete the free agent collection?

You'll get 5 diamonds. Enjoy your duplicate Springers and Kershaw.

Topps Now Sogard and Turner cards rake for me - put each in to get some innings for TA, and can't take them out.

I got 5 drops watching the 8th inning reveal and player update streams, but only got 1 for watching about 5 hours of streamers.

Pulled Trout from a Twitch pack from the pre-season streams on the first day, Verlander from a Balling is a Habit pack a couple months ago, Dibble from a Headliner pack from one of the conquest maps, and Scherzer and Arenado yesterday from standard packs from the Robinson map.

Same here. Pulled LS Kershaw, LS Castellanos, and LS Rendon from The Show Packs from the Shark Map. I can't complain about the easy stubs for them. Also, pulled HRD Ripken from a pack from the map.

Has anyone else noticed a spike in diamonds in packs lately? I pulled Hader from a standard pack and Dibble from the 120-star headliner pack today; plus Harper, Baez, and Flaherty from standard and Twitch packs in the past 2 weeks. I don't buy packs so it's a relatively small sample size.

Alex Wood and Grandal stages both require beating the Dodgers on all-star or better. Is it possible to get credit for both with same game? If not, how does the game determine which to credit first?

With 14 non-LS collections, I think it will probably be about 75-85% of 10-12 of those collections. That should keep it exclusive enough for players without penalizing players who play offline.

Will there be a live stream for the unveiling of the big collection or will it just be added to the game without the spectacle?

Is anyone having issues with seeing how many stubs they have? I've been watching sell orders go through, but my stubs haven't been increasing with the sales.

I sold Walker last week to finish the LS collection. After locking in the teams(s) you finish, the 5 team rewards for the division and 3 division rewards for the league, and AL and NL rewards for Mantle; you'll get more than 35k stubs in addition to those rewards.
