The All Star/Derby Series makes every card irrelevant
-
The big TA drops only thing keeps the game going though. I hadn’t logged in for almost 2 weeks before yesterday.
-
With Degrom and Nelson Cruz, what could they do, Walker was added too late and Cruz was the twins representative… Same with the Home Run derby, they can’t control who is in it… It think maybe if they waited until Wednesday, you’d see Whit instead of two Sals, because now we have 3 diamond Sals and Walker over DeGrom… Also, TA 3 was made easier for new people picking up the game, so they could get a better team easier.. Not everyone buys the game day 1… And a lot of these people will play for a month or two and go to Madden… I understand the content for us diehards can be a bit repetitive and I think they could mix it up a little, but they really couldn’t do anything about DeGrom, they had to give him that card.

Im pretty sure Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, and many more had alot to to do with MLBPA …. But yet here they are in the game… isn’t that a kawinkidink… and buddy trust me I can appreciate any franchise give me a Derek Lee card from Chicago Cubs, a Reggie Sanders from the Reds in 95, Jose Mesa from the 96’ Indians… like I can go on and on just from the top of my head… I get it MLBPA has to have consent for players to be in a game but wouldn’t we be in the same place now even if these old teams were missing some players who don’t consent/sign?
-
I love what they are doing. Give me tons of top tier guys I can use in my lineup based on my preferences.
-
Also just want to add most of the attributes on these 99’s are capped so what am I Paraelleling … Spell check on that one

Yeah that's the positive. I mean, personally, I really enjoy the game 10X better by playing with guys I like or am a fan of. That's why I never use any of the old legends etc. I'm a Brewers fan so you'll find me using 96 Braun over maybe a higher rated 99 LF. Also when you add parallel into the mix, Braun (for example) can go up to 98/99 as well.

Not who I'm talking about.

Waaaaa waaaa waaaa go play MUT for a year and come let me know what you think of the show. This is the only ultimate team version of any sport that does it right and this is my first year, your insane this is awesome you can have a life and also a sick team at the same time

You can't have a good team in MUT without constantly grinding mind numbing challenges, and I mean constantly grind, or spend 400$ a week on packs

But remember, good cards are only meaningful on paper. Teams win/lose regardless. That 90 Diamond gonna do as good as that 99..when it's time for the code to guide it along..and it will.

That's the bad thing about a year over year baseball game, the legends will never change. That's why you get 3 Smoltz and Maddux cards each year, plus the same recycled players with new card art. I think I'm going to skip the next year or two. I also tire of just seeing the same stupid cards over and over.
-
They don't HAVE to give every team a card of their actual 2021 all star game representative. And they obviously didn't plan this out all that well or far in advance considering the nonsensical structure of the missions. "Use all star cards but not the 2021 all stars the OTHER all stars that are all irrelevant". And now there's "all star" cards and "2021 all stars" which is dumb. They should have waited on all star series cards at all until now, and then done an all star themed TA3 with a mix of current guys that make sense considering what's already been released and flashback all stars. Simple.

Its kinda cool. If you bought this game last night you can literally field a team today that isnt out manned by any other team no matter how many stubs someone spent.

How is this that cool? Unless you're being sarcastic. That's exactly the problem.

Not sure how its a problem, it gives a lot of options for people. Plus people picking up the game late arent gonna be hardcore players. So at least they can field a team that looks good even if they get beat down with them.

Lol why would I play MUT when they haven’t updated a single thing in years except rosters

I mean, it comes down to this: *The people that spend real $$ on the game and/or play all the time are the ones salty about the content and the easy to get high rated cards. *The people that are nms and/or don't have time to live on this game 24/7 love the new content and easy to acquire high rated cards. There is no real "answer" there are just two sides with two different ways of thinking.
-
I often wonder why people care how other people get their cards…. Me personally, if you spent $5,000 on launch night, flipped or got cards because they made packs easier eventually, who cares.

So you think it's better that people that come into this game half way through the season should have the same opportunity to build a lineup in 2 days that most of us have been working nearly 4 months on?
Well that Recreational Youth Soccer mentality is perfectly fine for some. For the purists of the world..it really sucks. We want to have some edge for all the hours of grinding we put in all year.
But as I've said before, in this game card ratings hardly matter. It's just artwork and irrelevant numbers on a card. So, rock on. Whatevs.

You sir are a man of wisdom. Perfectly put.
