    I used one in the bullpen early game before we had enough arms but not anymore. It's pretty cheesy I think I csn win without it.

    My cap is Mickey scales, I’m the only guy in the world that thinks he can hit.

    You used to be able to create 9 caps on your team I believe it was... so there’s that.

    Sometimes I wonder what’s less realistic, having Mickey scales as a 2B or having an outfield of Mike Trout, Mickey Mantle and Larry Walker 🤷🏽‍♂️

    I feel that if you are making a dynasty, you shouldn't be able to use a fake player. I also like it being as realistic as possible. I know that some people like it, but personally, I will never use one.

    The only thing I like about CAPs is being able to create a player the game won’t give you. For example I made Barry Bonds. As far as realistic as possible then you should only be using Live series players since everything else is fake.

    I like snapbacks and fitted caps. I also like Fedoras but I'm not cool enough to pull off one of those

    How is it realistic to have Trout and Mantle in the same outfield? DD is not a realistic game mode.

    If you want realistic go play franchise.

    My left handed Adam Cimber throwing CAP named Joe Exotic is disgusting.

    I don’t hate them as much as I used to since you can’t have a 99 speed catcher anymore, but still don’t like them. I’m fine with people basing them off of a real life player(Victor Martinez for example), but I would rather have it where you actually have to create a batting stance from scratch instead of just putting Mondesi’s swing on a catcher with 100/100/100/100 and diamond fielding and 70 speed.

    Personally I dont use it anymore but I don't have a problem with it. I think of it as my own personal Future Stars card. I have the same number of MLB at bats as some of them! (This isnt a bash on FS cards, I love them)

    Jon Snow saved us all, now he's enjoying his retirement playing catcher on my DD squad. Good fella, kinda short.

    That's exactly what DD was made for. What if you could play with any of the best players of all time on the same team?

    I have done several this year, but the EASIEST CAP to do is Pitcher. In fact, it literally only took me about two days to finish the entire program start to finish, and it takes less equipment to make them great. Not to mention that you get a SP and RP in the program. The Balanced Closer is the route I went, because it has better control, and I juiced up the K/9 with a good glove, then buy the Axel Grease Ritual as well. Should end up with a 40 stamina., Give him Adam Cimber's delivery (he's a submariner) and you will have a NASTY arm out of the pen. My Dan Quisenberry CAP is awesome.....

    I love having a CAP in DD. I used to hate them but with the way they are designed now, they are fine. Not only does it take work to get your CAP up to diamond level and require you to get lucky/buy equipment to make him better...but they are position specific now.

    The biggest issue with CAPs in the older versions of the Show was having the 99 overall, max contact/power/speed catcher who could then take the mound as a RP and throw 99 mph fastballs with a funky delivery and a knuckleball. That is what makes CAPs awful.

    Nope, no CAP for me. I always make one and never end up using it. I liked it better when you could feed cards into it to power it up.

    Yes and I love DD but it’s not realistic either. So the argument that CAPs aren’t realistic is kinda ridiculous.

    I enjoy having a CAP. It’s not for everyone tho. If you don’t like it don’t make one.

    If you run balanced SS CAP with all the best equipment- it’s the best player in the game. Plus you can have fun with your creation:
    #45 Donald Trump is tearing it up for me at SS. Not to mention he gets a lot of free bases online from the liberal kids.
