Bi-Weekly?

dmacgreg37 · 08-23-2021, 11:20 AM

Hopefully, we move back towards more frequent card updates next year. Monthly is quite dull. I agree that weekly was too much, but perhaps bi-weekly is a happy medium.

It's been 3+ weeks since the trade deadline, and players are still with their old teams on account of monthly updates. That's a bummer.

My only reason to not like this idea is that I enjoy having at least a couple of weeks each month where I can have my Bronze tournament team run on cruise control. After the live updates I spend a good bit of time tracking stats to get my team set for the month.

I'd love to have them at biweekly or the first and third week of the month or something like that.

maybe we can wait another 13 years for an update, Im not going to be able to stand to see my guy Nick Madrigal in a Cubs uniform. They got us back from the Jiminez trade.

I prefer it to be monthly. Upgrades and downgrades should not depend on whether a player had a bad week or two. That and what the Professor said.

I wouldn't mind players changing uniforms as needed more often, though.

Maybe a good compromise is to have the player teams updated every two weeks, but the ratings only once per month. That way it won't disrupt the tournament rosters as frequently. I guess that is essentially what Bailey is suggesting as well.

The monthly update is better. Updates tend to mess up my tourney rosters.

Yep, definitely monthly. It's exhausting selling off live cards you don't want to lose value because they'll drop a level and speccing cards you think will go up.

Plus the tournament rosters

Monthly is just fine

I wasn't too active during the days of weekly updates but man that must have sucked
