I try not to complain to much about this game, but I agree. I real bag of meh. Even wheeler won't make most rosters because of the ta2 pitchers.
I haven't played dd in years, since before potm programs. After the Buxton program I was expecting another crazy good program. Oh well tho, ta2 was amazing imo
I also have pitchers better than Wheeler from finishing TA2 and I also finally finished the MLB Collection after pulling Trout so I have Glavine. But I would try out Wheeler and put him in to see how he is at least. The other cards no

What sucks is the POTM series is a chance for SDS to add to lineup diversity because all of these guys who would never make a “God Squad” with their live series. But many have tons of fans and many of which play this game and would put them in their lineups. This is their chance to really pump up the fan base of baseball and the game but “Oh he botches it!”

I just think its hilarious that a free card from April is better.
-
Austin Riley won player of the week and he dont get a card? SDS we need third baseman!!
-
the thing that I sorta laughed at is the big POTM bonuses are they get live series quirks yet Semien gets none so he is basically any normal legend/flashback that you either grinded out and wasted stubs like I did hoping it is useful for a lightning collection later or the program is just a bad attempt at reflecting baseball the last month and you move on with your day ignoring it
-
Told y’all we needed Tatis.
-
Yeah this one is bad!
-
I only did it to get the player of the year at the end of the year
-
None make my regular squad, but I’m not complaining. Free cards are free cards and I can always use some for team affinity squads
-
Riley snub
-
Agreed with Winker. I honestly did the program because we will need the cards down the road but Semien doesn’t even make my bench, let alone the secondary guys
-
I’m planning on going up to the 42 pack so 90 points and stopping. Hell I’m even going to sell all the Topps players too. It’s gonna be an easy 100k. I have no desire for Semien

Usually the POTM lightning card is something that would benefit even the players who spend the most money.
Semien is "meh" at best. If you completed TA2, Jackie, the AL, or hell April Topps Now Ryan McMahon, you have a better 2nd basemen. Top things off with his horrible swing, and you get a mixed bag of "bad". This isn't a knock so much on the player, but that SDS could have done much more with Semien. I mean, come on, he had a .702 SLG for June and his power is this low? Very disappointed, if you give him 115/100 C 100/110 P with 80 fielding, hes passable.
Regarding the rest of the program, aside from pitching, I don't think anyone else makes even the most basic of rosters. Hell, Jessie Winker is actually worse than his LS version.
Free content, I know, but I feel like SDS held back alot with this one.
I said the same about Semien and people felt to attacked. Glad some people still look at things objectively.

The 42 packs are imo the real reward here. Market tanked and made them reasonable.

I used the Topps Now packs to get the missing ones i needed for Rivera and then used them towards Semien too. Unlocked the 42 series pack and put buy orders for the rest i needed after which were only 8 and got 99 Jackie

Yep. I was 9 shy after doing all the team affinity's and then after getting this free pack and their values all went down so i used whatever stubs i had left to get the 8 left for 99 Jackie

It's actually the opposite, did Buxton create lineup diversity, or did we just see every team with Buxton when he came out? Because the latter is the opposite of lineup diversity.
-
Program is fine. I love the way they do them now. Just wasnt a big Month for POTM. No one killed it really. I just did all the moments and missions to get everything except Semien. I think i am gonna just sell off my Topps Now cards for stubs instead of locking them in for him. I love Buxton, but I honestly wish i did the same last Month instead of locking them in.

When you end up having to collect 5 lightning cards for POTM Tatis from 20 you will be mad none of you did the program. Go ahead and think what you want, but if you really think about it Tatis, Bellinger, Paxton, and Buxton I guess were the only POTM programs ever that the cards were ever actually super useful, and back in 19 and previous, they were quadruple the price. Winker got did dirty and Gausman should have been included over Kluber, but the other cards were legitimately the best players of May other than Vlad Jr. , Tatis, and Castellanos Vlad Jr wasn't getting a card because they have never given two POTM cards to one guy in the same season, and Tatis would have been a 99, which we knew wasn't going to happen yet. Castellanos would be pushing a 99 card as well
