You got millions of dollars to give to Randy Johnson, Mcgwire, Sosa, etc. to be in the game? Didn't think so.
I don't think sds is hurting for money. I would bet with the money they got just from day 1 of this new stub sale they could have acquired the rights no a new player.
The formula is simple, we buy the game every year regardless of any changes they make or font make. Therefore, copy and paste, don't waste money on programming, don't invest in research and development, don't worry about adding new players, don't worry about offline modes, don't respond the the community, don't wast time getting the game right before release, nope. Just copy, paste, sell, patch, repeat.
I would rather have great dedicated servers than McGwire and Sosa.

I’d take a Johan Santana over another year of 99 Nolan Ryan.
Then talk to Johan's representatives. They're the ones that are keeping him from being in the game.
If Baseball works like Football, there are usually organizations that have the rights to several of the Legend types of players. I know EA gets their rights through FGA if I remember correctly.

A top level Nolan card should be more usable this year with pinpoint, but he isn't going to dethrone deGrom as the top righty.

Dang, this game is so stale. Why do we get the exact same crapola over and over and over and over and over ad nauseam?
Because there aren’t enough pitchers with outlier, I imagine he will also have a sinker
Nolan cards don't need a sinker. His fastball and his 12-6 curve look exactly the same until the very last second. Should be fun. And they will probably give him s max break changeup at 84mph

People seem to forget about his 19 card.

I don’t, he’s still engraved in my mind, i saw him more than my own children that year

I'll select whoever the other 2 bosses are. Nolan's control is just too wild for my taste personally.
Give me that 99 Pedro already!
-
At least we didn't get Nolan Arenado, RP

@qwesty16_psn said in LOL @ Nolan Ryan 5th Inning Boss:
nolan ryan in previous years was never a reliable pitcher so i don't see him being that great
His biggest downfalll was his bb/9 and control. This specific card is from 91 and he only walked 2 guys and struck out 16…..I’d imagine he will be much better than previous
-
My biggest problem with this is that yesterday's boss clue was lazy and painfully obvious.

The point is having multiple cards of the same person. If they're expanding the legends list each year, why do we need 300 Nolan cards, 234 Smoltz cards, etc. It just feels lazy to me.

Lmao no clue. Sounded so cool though

I think what has happened is there were too many good cards delivered, or made obtainable, that make any other card useless. A better balance in how content is released could help make the inning programs more worthwhile. I mean, honestly what cards could still be released that would replace players we already have access to? After the AS/HR cards outfield is set, INF set, catcher? Pitcher? Maybe Randy Johnson or Bonds, but not likely to happen.

Like all gaming companies, the players aren’t their customers of concern. Sadly, it’s the shareholders, and it’s all about making money for them. EA, 2K, Ubisoft, doesn’t matter who it is.
It’s why so many games are copy/paste. The only modes that get any sort of attention are the ones with recurring player spending. Look at the profits these companies are making and you’ll see why the formula remains the same.

Griffey, Mantle, Mays, and Aaron will be significant upgrades in the outfield. Babe with a 1B secondary or Pujols, Gehrig, or Bellinger at 1st. 2nd and short we aren't going to get many better options but Honus Wagner, 99 Banks, 99 Tatis are all options. The best 3B was released at launch. Jimmie Foxx with a C secondary. For pitching we have Maddux, Pedro, Sale.

FS Crochet is essentially the Sig series Sale of years past, personally would have prefered if Nolan was a collection reward this year and have Glavine as a program boss.

Crochet is way easier to hit than Sale. Just because he is a lefty with the same pitches doesn't mean he is the same.

Ive used both, in my opinion they are essentially the same, Sales delivery may make him a bit more difficult to hit than Crochet but when you’re mixing pitches well with Crochet I would say he’s just as difficult.

I agree that more balance would be better, but SDS has very little incentive to save the best cards until later since this is about the time of year when the majority of the player base moves on anyway. Most people don't play the show for the entire year. It's not my preference, but I understand why they do it this way.
