Easily one of the worst POTM programs to date

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

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!”
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
-
SDS gave us a lot the first 2 months, so I can't complain.
I also think they made Buxton too good, to the point I can sell the Trout I pulled last night, so they weren't going to make Marcus God-like.
Maybe Players Of The Month are supposed to be Godly enough to Crack God squads, but I'm not mad that SDS had an off-month.
Maybe we should stop seeking perfection, and just see it as that, an off-month.
Turn a negative into a positive in the 42 cards some of us are missing and the selling of the TN cards as a few have said. -
Its funny the complaining about a free program that gives you options. You don’t have to use them if you don’t want to and yeah if you have “the” god quad, you can’t expect SDS to give a better 2B, 3B, CF and whatnot to replace Jackie/Chipper/Trout
Expectations are way too high for some of you. I’m sure the beginners of the game, struggling to put a team together are happy with getting a top 3 player at his position where the quality is very thin for basically free just for grinding

Very well said.
The first month with Buxton was an 'explosion,' that was so good, nothing could compare yet.
This was a firecracker.
It's like Pearl Jam & G & R. There is no way their 2nd album could top their debut. -

It's like Pearl Jam & G & R. There is no way their 2nd album could top their debut.It’s true though. Buxton was a great card when it came out. There wasn’t very many options in the outfield. But nowadays, you don’t see him in every lineup in RS anymore. I’d say it’s roughly 50/50. A month later, they came out with a ton of headliners/player programs/TA2. A major influx of new cards. We’re about 50 days into this game, they can’t flat out give away 99’s everytime.
This program requires grinding 5 moments a week for half the Topps cards, then grinding the program for the other half. Program gives you stubs/packs/5-6 monthly awards players for FREE!
I’m a Jays fan, I’m not gonna pump Semien’s tires in this program cause he doesn’t make my starting squad either but it’s still a great card that many others can use
