    Beltran

    If they never got to use him, they have no idea what you're talking about. Absolutely the best card ever.

    Unbelievable how good he was.

    How SDS let that happened ? I like you SDS but you [censored] up in this one. Soto hitting attributes combined with his quirks makes him even more dangerous in the batter box than legends such as Ruth. Speaking of quirks, how come old timer cards (Awards, Primes, Veterans, ...) lack the dynamic quirks (breaking ball hitter 👀) the live cards (Finest and Postseason) have ? With the quirks, Finest and Postseason cards are the most dangerous in the game. Case in point Soto.

    Do quirks work for these finest cards??

    Every year people complain that current players are not viable in people's line ups well SDS found away to make current day players viable in line ups now people are mad they have juiced attributes.

    Who cares have fun with it, its a fantasy mode things dont have to make sense in fact that is what makes this year so much more fun cause they let things go a little more bonkers then in years past.

    Just look at the team builds you can do its unreal the amount of life the finest cards, 2020 PS cards, TN and POTM brought to this years game

    Agreed. I've only played 2 games w him so far but of course he hit a dong and some of the hardest hit doubles I've hit all year. Insanely fast swing, perfect for me since I tend to be err on the side of late!

    Seeing Youbuters batting with Soto I am positive they do work. Soto PCI size is huge. His pci is the biggest in the game because of his quirks combined with his batting attributes.

    Purely in terms of ratings on the card, Juan Soto this year has been better than any other baseball player dead or alive. He not only eclipsed the greatest seasons of your basic scrub players like Babe Ruth, Ken Griffey Jr and Mickey Mantle on the hitting side, he also managed to outdo the entire career of Ted Williams, who’s card is based upon the best of his best across all years. Not bad, but he hasn’t hit his prime yet. They’re going to have to increase the scale to 200 in order to accurately represent just how much better than say - prime Willie Mays and Hank Aaron? - Juan Soto will be in a year or two, because he’s already maxed out the 125 scale.

    Unreal. Soto is a two tool player. He can hit and hit for power. He is a slow runner, an average fielder and plays LF because of a shoddy arm and yet he is better than a whole Wing of Players at the Cooperstown museum. Makes sense🙄

    yeah cuz legends cards are based on their entire career. soto's card is based on this year when he hit crazy well

    I asked this question earlier. Ruth's card is based on 1923 season stats. Soto is based on this season stats. Ruth had better HR/AB and slugging %than Soto. Ruth also hit .426 vs RHP, while Soto hit .346.

    @formallyforearms said in How do they determine power attributes?:

    I bring this subject up after seeing the release of Soto and Nelson Cruz.

    Comparing their seasons,
    Cruz vs RHP 11HR/142AB= 1HR/12.9AB
    Soto vs RHP 8HR/104AB= 1HR/13AB

    Cruz 118PWR vs RHP
    Soto 119PWR vs RHP

    Should be Cruz higher in power. Then I went to slugging%

    Cruz .500
    Soto .654

    Comparing to Ruth's card and 1923 season

    28HRA/338AB=1HR/12AB vs RHP
    Slugging% .825

    Ruth 120PWR vs RHP

    Going by all of this, shouldnt Ruth have a much higher PWR vs RHP attribute than Soto?
    Have they ever said how they calculate the ratings for power?

    Soto is a very good hitter but he ain’t what they’re making him out to be.

    Ummmm. No. No they’re not. That’s why I very specifically worded my post to reflect that SS Ted Williams card was indeed designed to encapsulate the greatness of his entire career, being a Signature Series card. The best cards of Babe Ruth and Ken Griffey Jr are single season cards, presumably the best seasons SDS could come up with. Why can’t they go find a single game where Griffey went 5-5 with 3 homers, 2 SB and a diving catch, then make a card based solely off of that? Then we could have silly maxed out legends. Also, this was a 60 game season. Not that SDS, or even Juan Soto could help that, they have to rate him based on the 60 games that were played, but in my opinion, it devalues the comparison between that and anything other than another players best 60 games stretch. You can’t say Soto had a better season than X player if X player were consistently good for an additional 102 games.

    I agree with everything you said, except for the bolded part. Ruth won his MVP in 23, which is why he was given that card. He had even better seasons. I would think most people consider his 1920, 1921, or 1927 seasons as his best.

    You’re probably quite right, however SDS hands are tied in the sense that they only have years they won some kind of award to go with. Did the Babe win any hardware in those seasons? I’m sure I could google it, but I suspect you have the answer already.

    You’re probably quite right, however SDS hands are tied in the sense that they only have years they won some kind of award to go with. Did the Babe win any hardware in those seasons? I’m sure I could google it, but I suspect you have the answer already.

    They didnt have Silver Slugger or Gold Gloves back then. MVP was all they had. They didnt even have MVP awards until 1931 when the BBWA started giving it out. Prior to that there were other awards given out like for cars or medals or cash. Ruth only won the single "MVP" award, which wasnt really an official MVP.

    Purely in terms of ratings on the card, Juan Soto this year has been better than any other baseball player dead or alive. He not only eclipsed the greatest seasons of your basic scrub players like Babe Ruth, Ken Griffey Jr and Mickey Mantle on the hitting side, he also managed to outdo the entire career of Ted Williams, who’s card is based upon the best of his best across all years. Not bad, but he hasn’t hit his prime yet. They’re going to have to increase the scale to 200 in order to accurately represent just how much better than say - prime Willie Mays and Hank Aaron? - Juan Soto will be in a year or two, because he’s already maxed out the 125 scale.

    Unreal. Soto is a two tool player. He can hit and hit for power. He is a slow runner, an average fielder and plays LF because of a shoddy arm and yet he is better than a whole Wing of Players at the Cooperstown museum. Makes sense🙄

    yeah cuz legends cards are based on their entire career. soto's card is based on this year when he hit crazy well

    Ummmm. No. No they’re not. That’s why I very specifically worded my post to reflect that SS Ted Williams card was indeed designed to encapsulate the greatness of his entire career, being a Signature Series card. The best cards of Babe Ruth and Ken Griffey Jr are single season cards, presumably the best seasons SDS could come up with. Why can’t they go find a single game where Griffey went 5-5 with 3 homers, 2 SB and a diving catch, then make a card based solely off of that? Then we could have silly maxed out legends. Also, this was a 60 game season. Not that SDS, or even Juan Soto could help that, they have to rate him based on the 60 games that were played, but in my opinion, it devalues the comparison between that and anything other than another players best 60 games stretch. You can’t say Soto had a better season than X player if X player were consistently good for an additional 102 games.

    There’s your answer then. Unless they wanted to make a SS Ruth or whatever, they only had one season to go with.

    Like can we talk about how Craked Finest Soto is lol . Dude has arguably the best pure hitting stats in game with a good swing to boot . Quirks he has active ,Road warrior, Night player , First pitch hitter , Unfazed , Breaking ball hitter , Rally monkey , Fighter , this is like the perfect card to use as a pinch hitter when losing in the 9th inning , Situational Hitter . So in Conclusion 😆 His cracked . It’s too bad his defense is a liability I just can’t see myself starting him over the likes of players like Mantle ,Griffey , Trout , Larry Walker in the outfield because of it . Would you guys start him in Left even with his bad defense ?

    I bought Machado because my OF consists of MVP Trout, Mantle, and Harper (almost Griffey) did I make a mistake? Should I sell Machado for Soto?

    People are just nostalgic about Beltran. The Awards Trout this year is better. No question. But... this Griffey Jr card may give him a run for the money. Only thing is it is so late in the year barely anyone is gonna get time in with him to enjoy it.

    I thought the way they described it was as follows:
    Awards = single season
    Prime = best 3 year stretch
    Sig = career

    Correct???
