I felt that they did some good things this year, but it's honestly a let down.
I think they did some cool things with different card types and so on and there is a ton to do and earn without spending a penny. But, I don't understand many of the decisions here....

Tying in the only stat grinds to online (they crowd that DID NOT want them in the first place) is puzzling. WHY is the only grind for offline for Team Affinity AGAIN the utterly mind-numbing "Innings Played"?

Showdown using canned drafts (vs pulling players from your own collection) ruins any intrigue from that mode. Another puzzling choice there....

There is a total lack of reason for offline players to even consider roster construction or lineups in a "team building" mode, and that is the most puzzling design decision of them all.

It's just a very non-cohesive mode this year.
