Still think Hank would be the ideal LS Collect reward. My only solace is that last year's "big get" (Mantle) wasn't in the debut trailer either: it was Mariano and Ortiz.

I hope the live series Collection is 1 of three guys . either DiMaggio probably won’t be since Another all time Yankee was the live series reward last year in Mantle , Hank Aaron or they go crazy and get the rights to Juicy Pun intended Bonds .
Bonds will never sell his rights. Even when he was a player, he retained his own rights instead of being part of the MLBPA. Hopefully one day, people will stop repeating this impossibility on forums.
Why don’t you lightened up and take a chill pill . If you want people to discuss on your post maybe don’t come off passive aggressive bud
.Where's the passive part of my post? My post is straightforward and includes facts about a situation that you ask for.
That's not passive aggressive, it's fact based assertion.
assertion
"An assertion is a declaration that's made emphatically, especially as part of an argument or as if it's to be understood as a statement of fact."Passive Agressive
"Passive-aggressive behavior is a pattern of indirectly expressing negative feelings instead of openly addressing them. There's a disconnect between what a passive-aggressive person says and what he or she does." -

Love Clemente. Unfortunately, unless they juice the heck out of him, he won’t be an end game card.
Also, unless they had Hank secured prior to his death he won’t be in this year.

If you're talking about Clemente, then as a baseball fan you definitely should look him up. He was a great player (had exactly 3,000 hits and 12 gold gloves) but was a better person off the field. Did a lot of great things for people and even died in a pane crash, cutting his career short, while trying to help people in Nicaragua after a huge earthquake.

I looked into his stats a bit, the amount of consecutive GGs and MVP votes is crazy

Ya he was a beast. He was getting up there in age (baseball wise at least) but even his last season he did well. It's too bad his career got cut short.

The only concern I have with clemente and its no knock on the player he is an all time great and lost his life far too soon but I'm not sure he will translate well into the game because I haven't seen anything to suggest getting singles and doubles matter hell they even mentioned bloopers will be caught more

I think you will see more base hits this year. They are aware some players aren't getting used the way game is designed.
Plus with z axis fielding and throwing meter adjustment it looks like possibly best game to date. Yes they did say more catches for those types of plays, but they did make improvements to the hitting as well.

19 was great at the start of the year with hit variety; unfortunately as more and more diamonds came out, it all canceled out. The best gameplay is always the first month since most teams have holes because you have to sacrifice defense to put in Nelson Cruz, or power to get Tony Gwynn rookie defense and speed. By June most teams have 5-tools players at every position. It has to have undesired effects on the engine.

I get that. Which is why i would like to see RS have a mandatory lineup like BR kinda with limited amount of diamonds gold and silvers even if it is just til AS Break. I dunno that promotes diversity more, maybe it would make card values go up, but also see more use of TA rewards like prospects being used not just in event specific scenarios.
And this would open up possibilities of various Topps now cards as well?

I’d say nl collection. Thinking he’s a biggio type card, less speed, bigger arm, and a couple notches up in power.
I won't be collecting this year, as every year the collection rewards end up collecting dust. But, it's good to know he's in the game finally.
so mickey has collected dust? And Trout?
Trout is not a LS reward. Yes, Mickie does not play for me anymore.
So Mays in 19 wasy an end game card?
I will agree with Mickey has been collecting dust since Griffey came out. He is good but I think if they get Hank Aaron he will have less power than mickey higher contact. and Lower fielding. Aaron was a great player but not a great all around player. He broke records because of his longevity and ability to consistently get 30+ HR in a season. He only hit higher then 45 2 times and never hit 50. According to Baseball Reference he was more like Miggie.

You're talking about age comps. If you look at overall career, his best comps according to baseballreference...
Willie Mays (782.1) *
Barry Bonds (748.7)
Albert Pujols (745.7)
Alex Rodriguez (714.9)
Frank Robinson (667.7) *
Stan Musial (666.7) *
Babe Ruth (645.9) *
Ken Griffey Jr. (629.0) *
Carl Yastrzemski (627.3) *
Rafael Palmeiro (611.1)That ain't a bad list to be on!

Or, people like to have positive attitudes and since he’s the most asked for player in the entire DD community, a lot of people don’t mind having hope that he will one day be in the game. If you personally would like to hold that negative attitude be my guest but don’t get mad at others for being joyful and positive
-
As great of a player Clemente was in real life I just don’t think he’ll transition well in the show. He’ll basically be the 99 Gwynn card but MUCH slower.

Roberto Clemente has been a huge want for a long time for us "older" baseball fans. He paved the way for Latinos in the MLB and truly changed the "color" of the game.
