First, there is no point to the actual baseball games going on. Why? Lots of reasons:
1. I can add a 100 player and my team, relative to the league it is in, does not get better. By the end of the season, I've dropped significantly in relative quality.
2. The randomness of results is wearing. It is also the reason I get bored with every sports sims out there.
3. The whole Perfect Card concept annoys me. The vast differences in the 100 ratings makes me simply not care. If you want ratings to matter, give us ratings the DO matter.
4. I complete a Build-a-Bear and get two packs. I get lots of MLB LIVE cards that cashing in is the sole option, plus a Tony Horton silver which excites me until I look and see he isn't in any missions. Grrr.
5. Each of my three teams has hundreds of non-Live cards that aren't in any missions. When the last series of missions got announced, NONE of them got promoted to mission worthy. Only existing cards in the new missions which made the cost go up. Again Grrr.
None of these by themselves is cause to quit, however when they all exist (as they do) my irritability with the game is far too high.
I doubt whether any of these issues can/will be addressed, so I doubt I'll ever enjoy PT again.
Lastly, I'll be adding to this thread over time as it is depressing to think about this stuff for too long.

3) I think they should redistribute the ratings. There are so few silvers and so many 100s. I get that a lot of the 100 cards are considered >100, but bring it down. There probably shouldn't be any live 100s.
4) I'd like to see 3 tiers of the live cards. Maybe a 16, a 26, and a 36. I'd like to say a real "complete" team set, but I get it, players come and go and some teams will have more cards in the game than others. I looked at a smattering of teams, most seem to have 40-50 cards so 36 should be good.
4a) It's a nice idea that they have in the settings that you can sell dupes, but I'd only use it if I could select to only sell live cards. There are just too many low level non-live cards that at some point or another are worth considerably more than their minimum. Too many live cards, OTOH, are almost worthless.
5) I wish there were more missions for non-live cards too. Maybe impose a rule: don't add a non-live card to the set unless you have a mission for it or will immediately make one. I love seeing all these old players, but give them a purpose / more value!
6) Rejig tournaments somehow. For example, get rid of the 150 PP tournies, they're just not worth it and most don't bother playing them anymore.
