I enjoyed PT 19 and was pleased by PT 20 which I'm still logging into and buying cards for. I'd rate that a '7' on the scale.
PT21 has turned into a sludge of 100 cards that have destroyed the game. It reminds me of 1984 where 'some pigs are more equal than others." Having a 100 Trout who can't even get over the Mendoza line so I have to sit him is poor design.
I think the most important improvement PT22 needs is to get the 'little kid' factor back in the game. Most of us--all, I hope--have fond memories of Little League and going to games with our dads. That got squeezed out of PT21 with the onrush of yet another 100 card.
I like to let my grandson open packs (when possible) and he loves seeing the players. He'll ask questions when he sees one with his first or last name. When a silver, gold or diamond comes up, he'll bounce around a bit. When I see those silver or golds, I have to push myself to feign excitement similar to his because I know they are useless for my teams.
Where is the joy in PT21? Where is that sense of excitement as the packs rip open?
Put that back in the game.
