ToppsMike on twitter said the daily bonus will rise to 10k each day and the week bonus will jump to 25k. Also said pack prices to begin the season will be cheaper than they are now.

Sounds like it's turning into the Star Wars app, where coins are aplenty. I wonder if the rarer base cards will now be much tougher to get like in SW...

I'm excited for Bunt 2015 with these new changes

I'll believe the lower pack prices when I see them. That being said, my guess is that they will lower prices since they said they would, but that the pull rates will decrease dramatically meaning the pack prices will actually be more expensive in terms of inserts, super rare cards.

Another bit of news about BUNT: there will be approximately 70 inserts released between launch and Opening Night

Another bit of news about BUNT: there will be approximately 70 inserts released between launch and Opening Night I saw that. I figure Opening Day is 30 and they two 20 card sets? |

And yeah, pack prices may go up, they may not. I'm much more worried about the odds, but I'm reserving judgement until we see in the actual game. I think 10K a day and 25K a week will give the F2P players a lot more enjoyment.
The reality is this is a whale game, and while the whales are the VIPs, they don't like to just play against other whales. They need a bunch of small fish to dominate. That's the F2P players. Well, I think we saw last season, and apparently Topps did too, that the game was losing too many F2P players because they were not having fun. I believe this is to combat that.
Same thing with the leagues. Playing against everyone made some feel like they didn't have a chance. Going from 3587th to 3404th in a week was not enough of a reward for the average F2P player.
Hopefully it will equal out the playing field enough that it works. I LOVE the idea. And regardless of your play level, you should too in concept.
Now, let's see the execution. It looks like Topps is making all the right moves so far from what my simple brain can tell.

There definitely could be some big changes in store for 2015 releases. Two recent examples:
1.) With the new Kick MLS cards, they are only releasing commons (called essentials). The first release was about 4 weeks ago and there are still no Uncommon, Rare, Scarce or Super rare base cards to be seen. I haven't seen any information on what will be released in the future.
2.) With Star Wars it seems like gold cards can only be obtained if you spend money or if you trade for them. When you spend then you gain access to the master packs that contain gold cards.
While I gladly welcome an increased daily bonus, I hope that gold cards and inserts are not only available to those willing to spend $$$. I'm excited to see what the start of the Bunt season will bring!

I certainly hope they don't follow the master pack philosophy where master packs are only available if you spent money that day.

I'm excited to see what the start of the Bunt season will bring! I downloaded the Star Wars app just for fun and will not spend money on it. If they do the gold for buy scheme in BUNT I will probably uninstall the app. I think the changes I read about will make more f2p players stay. I want the app to better then last year. I played last year and did pretty well by twill try and do better this year. Whales are needed I agree and hope the little fish will be able to enjoy it also |
