Let's kill the Future Stars concept now.

I know they are trying, but it’s ridiculous. The prospect cards were a great idea and, generally, had acceptable ratings. The future stars totally blew out reality.
I know some say don’t complain becuase it’s added content. It’s nice that SDS is trying, especially with no real baseball being played. But most of the cards this year have been a yawner for me. I don’t like the future stars. Many of the headliners haven’t been all that great. I mean, a prime Michael Brantley? No thanks. His prime, I guess, wasn’t even that great. And How do we know he’s not currently in his prime, which should be reflected on his LS?

Unfortunately, I expect many more: Franco, Lux, Robert, another Pearson and Kopech. Probably many more in the top 25. May and Sanchez weren't even top 20 guys.
We already have 2 of Lux how many are we going to get of him 3? 4? 5? Seriously I'm telling you guys if stage 3 is rookies again I may walk always for awhile.
-
I'm assuming most of the legend/flashback cards people want will be in TAs and inning bosses. These future stars, while ridiculous, are filling out content until stage 3 hits.

Sosa costs money. The current mlb players do not
There it is. This is correct.
Except, these cards are better than Griffey jr, for whom they do have a license. I like the future star concept, but they should have stuck with the low-mid diamond prospect approach.
-
I agree. However there has been no Baseball season, so I’m sure they had to adjust on the fly and panicked a bit. No real players to properly adjust as season went on.
BUT... in no way should there be a prospect/future star fielder/batter better than Trout and not a pitcher better than deGromm!!!!!

It's the repeating players that irritates me. Don't do 90 Joe Adell and then another 99 version later. Should've saved the to Prospects for FS only.

Yeah you could make this argument too.

Minor leaguers' rights are cheaper and that's the name of the game

Not another Kopech, anything but that 🤮
Why not another Kopech? I'd love to get a high diamond version.

Creating fictional players from scratch is even cheaper. Why not just do that, if all anyone cares about is the attributes and animations?

Because it's still a baseball "sim."
Obviously, the "sim" part gets thrown out the window in DD.

Give me Spencer Torkelson. I want him better than Babe Ruth though.

I agree this future stars bs is trash. They literally think like 20 of these future stars at the prime of their careers will all be as good or better than trout whose considered a 1 in a generation baseball player. Another reason why i cant stand playing this game after playing a ton on march and april.
-
I just got Carter Keiboom! Yay!! Stoked.
-
Seems to be a pretty accepted opinion amongst the majority here. Don't know that I've ever had so many likes on a post.
-
I think they missed an opportunity for a program here, where you could prestige these cards from their prospect cards to the future star versions, that to me would have made more sense with what they seem to have been trying to achieve here with multiple cards.
-
This is so true. Add in that they have weird NFL/Spring Training uni numbers. Then of course, if you look at their Live series cards and they are a shell of themselves.
The only one i have in my lineup is Brandon Marsh for his speed, etc. -
Adell, the only FS I don’t have...and don’t need!
