Good thing I faced Maddux before I chose him...
-
He's BP on all star but everyone is. Elite on hof+
-
Anything above all star, his cutter and Curveball, mixed in with circle and fastball is nice. When he’s prestige, he will be hard to hit if you mix his pitches.
-
If you mix it up he is very serviceable
-
Operator error.
-
He is terrible. Sure he’s good on legend, but so are most other guys because hitting is so difficult. People thought this would be Orel 2.0, and he’s not even close.
-
If Orel is better than Maddux, SDS messed it up

That’s what I’m wondering about Smoltz, too. He’s been getting lit up sometimes in the event. Haven’t had any experience with either one of them in RS.
Side note, do you think we’ll see a 99 Glavine down the road? He’s a 300 game winner!

No. Signature series is the top card a guy gets

Nah they did him dirty this year his Sig will be the best card unless they do like a '95 post season card. That game 6 start

I’m hoping for a card like this. I’d venture to say that none of the pitchers with a 96-97 signature series card had a career better than Glavine yet they’re higher rated.

I’m in the minority, but I’ve had success with Smoltz. If you have his confidence up, he’s very good. Once his location starts to fail, it’s game over.
The Glavine card is a lot of fun, I think people rarely see him. He has 3 speeds, and can keep people off balance. The only issue with him is he has no strikeout pitch, and against a good player you’ll just see foul off after foul off. I’d say he’s the best of the 3.

I was thinking that or a Cy Young awards card

Hr has a 95 SS card. He will not get a higher rated card this year.

Its not that Glavine didn’t have an incredible career, its how they rate signature series cards. H/9 and K/9 are very important in a pitchers rating. Take hamels for example. His H/9 and K/9 for his career are better than Glavine. Glavine is a 95 almost exclusively because his career K/9 was 5.3, which isn’t good

I'm not a good pitcher by any means with starters but Smoltz is a train wreck for me.
-
Maddux has been good for me so far.
-
I haven’t faced Maddux yet but one game isn’t a big enough sample size
-
So, I was worried him getting smacked around too, but I picked him up and have used him, even in the events on all star I think I've only given up one run in 7 or 8 appearances. Yes you can hit him, but most of it is weak and by no means am I having opponents crush anything. I feel like I'm able to keep hitters off balance, buy mixing it up and playing the chess match with you're opponent is important. You also have to really work the corners and edges at various heights, which I've had no problem doing with him.
You have to out think you're opponent with Maddux, nothing he has is overpowering and placement is very important.
-
I feel the same way about Rollins. I was ready to get him, but after his moment that was by far the hardest for me to complete I didn't get him right away. I just can't hit with that card. At least I found out and it saved me some stubs.

100% user error, but please keep posting threads like this. The less people see him, the more success I have pitching with him.
