The following comments about Missions are only my opinion... whether you agree or not is fine. I'm still having fun playing the game.

Complete Team Missions:
Having these 26 player Missions (where you need 26 of 35 players) has kind of thrown everything out of whack. I went through a number of the Missions and have determined that the rewards are no longer worth the inflated prices of the players. There need to be a lot more players put in play (more packs awarded for tournaments) to kind of put things in the proper perspective. Take the AL Central for example. Yes, you could try to keep winning packs, but eventually you need to get to the auctions if yoiu want to cvomplete the missions in a timely manner. At the current inflated rates, even if you have gotten your 5 teams to the point where you have 20 or 21 of the 26 cards you need for each team, the remaining 5 or 6 cards will cost you so much that that the Verlander reward means nothing. In one case I figured that you would need to spend close to 10,000 points to get a card that now goes at auction for about 12,000 points (and thats before you remove the 10% auction fee). Yes missions should be challenging, but the reward should make sense for the trouble you go through.

Point Missions:
Here is where the value of some cards is really distorted. Because of the 26 card complete team missions, 2 point cards (players rated in the 40's and 50's) have assumed values so high that you basically can ignore them. I've found that when I have reached 5 points of the 7 points required to complete the mission, that its more economical to buy one 5 point bronze card than two 2 point iron cards. In one instance I recollect buying one bronze card for around 125 points as opposed to two iron cards that were at minimum 150 points each.

I'm curious as to how many of you are seeing things. I know one thing for sure, it must be pretty difficult for newbies to improve their teams at these current price levels.

Well that's it.
Have a great day and have fun playing the game!
