Jackie Robinson Perfect Mission 1

tai2chen · 05-15-2023, 02:23 AM

The mission requires at least one of the two most expensive cards in the game including Tournament Edition, C Roy Campanella (Last 10 price is 212,154 PP) or Legend, CF Duke Snider (Last 10 price is 163,135 PP) which makes it practically impossible and incredibly expensive for players to complete the mission and get the perfect version of Jackie Robinson.

I feel like the dev team has made it clear they want players to spend money on the game or they would make it hard for us to even get the cards we want.

Ditto!

Not easily, of course. But getting a card as good as Jackie this early SHOULD be difficult. If they had another 5-pointer in the mission, then you could get him without either of those cards. But then ALL the cards in the mission would be very pricey. Because everyone would still want Jackie, and the other cards are rare enough that even the golds wouldn't be enough to go around.

You could also canvas all the card shops and shows for unopened packs of '52 TOPPS cards. You can get you a Mantle.

Not easily, of course. And not cheap. But, the same strategy.

I completely agree that one of the very best cards in the game (and he's been GREAT for me) should be very hard to obtain... but it's far from impossible.

I'm sure this mission was supposed to be 143 points and not 153 points. There would have been another option. Besides, isn't the future legend card Anthony Volpe just a better 2B option, cheaper, and found in packs?

Over time the price of those cards will go down as more are introduced into the ecosystem. The reason they are so expensive is almost certainly because they are needed in the mission so they have extremely high demand.

PT+ monthly payment, $499 special at the start with PT+ earns 2.4 million PP, many LE 25 cards have made it abundantly clear, this is a money gouging game.

Enjoy how you throw that in there in the ().

Very proud of you I guess.

End of sarcastic posts.
