You are near the stagnant phase of the game. Near Diamond Level. I found the ramp up was pretty gradual, then Diamond is a semi truck of perfects. At your stage, lots of people have the same cards. Many earned from the Live Missions, with likely a few live diamonds and perfects mixed in. Some lucky-pull players mixed in, but not too many. Lots of Bagwell, Ichiro, Maddox, Blyleven, Carlton, etc. It isnt too bad of a stage because you can still be competitive.
Its the biggest flaw, and Im not sure how it could be altered/fixed. I like the Live Missions. There are a lot of other missions, but the only ones really worthwhile after the Live Missions are extremely cost prohibitive. If they were affordable, you would have the same problem above later, with another tier of players.
So you kind of grind tournaments and try to earn packs to hope for a lucky pull here and there to someday upgrade a position. Hitting on a card (I got a McGuire last week who became a starter) is a great feeling/rush. If it were common, it wouldnt be that special, and everyone would have monster teams.
I find tournaments are fun, but I feel like the interface of making changes, lineups, and stuff is terrible (and timed). So many sanity popups, 25 clicks to deactivate and activate a player, etc. Next year, they should create some sort of mode that is detached from the tournament where you can create your lineups in a laboratory atmosphere. Then save them as lineup files for tournament use.

well said, thanks! I can't imagine what the upper levels are like considering how similar Silver level is. I just can't bring myself to part with any of the live collection rewards & that will probably hold me back.
I really enjoyed seeing the odd cards here & there, players I had long forgotten, etc. not it is almost all the same pitching staffs (mostly rewards - Unit, Carlton, Blyleven, Maddux, etc). the thrill of finding a hidden gem is gone.
I did happen to pull a PEAK Henderson & 100 Acuna last week on some reward packs. STOKED. should probably sell for PP, but Henderson is one of my favorite players. Acuna is holding his own in Silver. Monte Irvin as well,, PEAK Grace - I've had some good luck with packs lately that I hope helps.
PT is a lot of fun, the card collecting is surprisingly addictive, just kinda miss the variety in teams.
