I think he's assuming but I also think he'll be right. If you watch the video that came out today and pause at 1:00 , you can see that you are guaranteed a standard pack just for playing. I would assume this means you paid (more then 1,000 stubs since thats the price of a standard pack). It would make sense to pay stubs every time you play to have an opportunity to play with cards you can't normally afford.

For me, the word "buy in" means spend stubbs... (at 0:58 in the video)

I don't mind though, especially that you are given a guaranteed pack after every run.

Yeah, good catch. My guess is you have to pay stubs to get in. Seems like it would be exploitable to be guaranteed a standard pack just for playing if there was no investment.


Wow that is some faint text in that screenshot but it does say "buy in".

Agreed. I understand why they are doing it that way, but 3 innings is just not indicative of anything.

Id rather see 5 innings for BR. 3 innings just feels like you can lose to something unlucky early on and you will not have a chance to adapt to your opponent or go through your lineup more than once.

I get the concept behind 3 innings but I think 5 would have been more ideal. It also gives more value when you draft your bottom of the order guys and bullpen. In a 3 inning game bullpen is less important.

Also I wonder what the default difficulty will be? I hope its not veteran.

At around the :38 to :40 second mark in the video it showed All-Star Hitting and Pitching with Quick Counts and Guess pitch turned off

I hope there are no trophies for these modes.
