Votto lightning

SDS just follows MLBs choice for POTM so why are people complaining? It was either Ohtani, who already has 4 (?) diamonds in game, or Votto, so Votto it is. Simple.
I am not complaining. He was deserving but simply saying that I won't be using him.
They could have used one of the MLB's pitchers of the month just as easily. Is there anything that says that the lightning round has to be a position player?
-
Is there a collection at the end of the year that requires all of the lightning cards? This is pretty much my first year playing DD seriously. I played it in 2019 but didn't actually pursue most of the collections or do much of anything besides buy the cards I wanted and play Ranked.
I don't really want the Votto but if he'll be needed later I might get him anyway just because the POTM programs are pretty fast to complete.
-
Joey Votto has a great swing. I am excited about this one and will be getting him.

As an offline player and one that does not flip cards or play the market I only have two 99 cards in my inventory and they are both first basemen. This will be my third.
Parallel the free TA3 cards and you'll have plenty of 99s

There was last year but I don't remember if there was one in previous years. POTM used to be really expensive to do, so I don't think many people would ever have been able to collect all of them.
-
yeah, Soto would have been better, but at least he's a LH bat. if you dont have Vlad Jr or David Ortiz for the collection.....a 99 Votto will fit nicely into some people lineups.

Maybe they'll give him 90 speed and a CF secondary, a catcher secondary, or a RP secondary with a cutter, sinker and outlier on a slurve that comes in at 102mph with 99 break. You know, because why not?
That’s what it would take to appease some people

They could’ve chosen from the MLB pitchers of the month as well (Buehler and Taillon). There also of course is no rule saying they have to choose from that group.

Yeah, I just got Murray installed at first so I don't see me playing with this Votto. It won't stop me from doing the program because I may need them for a collection at some stage. Since it is a 99 I guess that we won't be getting a Sig Series or MVP card for him this year.
I was always going to be more interested in the other choices more than the lightening card anyway.
Last year Jose Ramirez had a FB finest in the exp rewards tree then a lightning 99 later. That said it was a very disappointing drop
-
Since Votto will likely be universally perceived as underwhelming (no slight to him but rather due to the # of 99 1B) it makes me wonder if they drop something really nice right in front of him in the reward path to entice people to complete. Maybe not since people without Mookie will likely do this program simply for the voucher but kind of expect to see a ASG pack….

And theres a chance we see flashback POTM cards as a reward for collecting lightning cards too
-
I wonder if they start to bring flashback lighting cards soon

I thought they only did that last year due to the season being delayed?
-
People are literally going to complain about anything that happens in this game. The man was about as lightning as you can get last month and he’s a future hall of fame 1B with a good swing in this game. If you have another 1B already you think is better you have a very quality “problem”. Also I didn’t see any switch hitting catchers hit 15 hrs and steal 15 bases in MLB for July so I’m not sure who you all were expecting SDS to pick as the lightning player that would make everyone’s god squad.

there is also a lightning flashback today,
-
I dont really care about this card, but I'll have Mookie done once I have this completed, and that's pretty cool!
-
Sweet, I like Votto

I think Votto is the flashback - if a card is not LS its either a flashback or legend

All lightning cards are therefore flashbacks, because they're all active players.

Another good player tucked away on the bench that I won’t use. It’s a shame too because I love Papi,Fielder,Murray,HRB Alonso,HRB Trey,etc but I keep all star Vlad in 99% of the time. Juan Soto would have a been a cool card but I totally understand why Votto got it. Guy had a crazy 7 games.
