Thoughts on New Legends?

As a guy whose main squad is a Phillies theme team I would love Bobby too!

Bobby Abreu and Delgado would be nasty! I’ve wanted Abreu for awhile now. Also would love a Maggilo Ordonez card but someone told me he has some baggage. So probably not. Would love to see Carlos Lee and Aramis Ramirez too. Man there’s so many lol
As far as I know Magglio's only "baggage" was the list of dudes that Canseco personally injected with the juice, so thats not going to keep him out of the game(pudge). If there is something else though I would like to know because Magglio is my favorite player of all time

2 out of 12 aren't bad

Koufax, Drysdale, Nomo, Ramon Martinez, Ron Cey, the list goes on and on and on

I thought Ramon Martinez had Cy Young award winner stuff. He never could put it all together to become great.

Yeah it must've been an oversight on my part, because I love learning about these type of more obscure stars.

About the legends with "baggage"... do you guys know about a pathetic human being that gets multiple high level cards from 2K every year?
Karl Malone (pedophile).
And baseball keeps out steroid guys or even worse, a guy like Shoeless Joe.
No one needs to point out why. I get that these guys have been banned by MLB and for some reason a POS like Karl isnt banned by the NBA. Just pointing this out.

@the_dragon1912 said in Thoughts on New Legends?:
From most to least likely I would say
Dontrelle Willis(he has already expressed that he wants to be in the game)
Yaz
Delgado
Abreu
Hudson
Grace
Lopez
Lee
Rhodes/Wetteland/Vasquez/AssenmacherWillis, Delgado and Rhodes would be my choices out of that group. I think Rhodes won something like 10 games our of the pen for the Orioles in two separate seasons. I am a fan of more quality relief options. What about the Delgado equivalent that played for the Red Sox (Mo Vaughn). What about Nomar Garciaparra? I believe John Wetteland was arrested for sexual child abuse so don't expect him.

He's Pedro's older brother.

They both played with the Dodgers together before pedro broke out. Dodgers made a mistake letting him go.

I know licensing and everything makes it hard to get every player but I do think more needs to be done. Baseball has such a long history with many great players and as it pertains to older legends, how cool would it actually be to have an almost endless list of greats to play with. Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Sandy Koufax, Tris Speaker, Bill Bergen... okay maybe not the last one.
It’s why I loved OOTP, while it’s just a simulator, being able to control those old teams and see how the players performed is fun.

Correct, traded him for Delino DeShields. Great speed but that's about it. One of the Dodgers worst trades

I used to play Baseball Mogul, and then I tried OOTP. It was very overwhelming at first with all the options but I was a great game. I have not played either in a few years.

Nahh, wasn’t that. It was something about his political views and being connected to the government down there in Venezuela. I didn’t know anything, someone just mentioned it. So idk.

@bostondirtdog21 said in Thoughts on New Legends?:
On topic, I thought we may see Mike Lowell or Carlos Pena considering they participated in the RTTS “podcast” episodes. Not that either would play but would be fun for theme teams.
Might see one or both of them for TA4. New legend reveal tomorrow.

@dronery687_psn said in Thoughts on New Legends?:
I'd love to know, even if it isn't a ranking of all of them, which of these legends are we the most and least likely to get for next year?
Carlos Delgado
Arthur Rhodes
Mark Grace
John Wetteland
Bobby Abreu
Tim Hudson
Carl Yastrzemski
Javier Vasquez
Derrek Lee
Paul Assenmacher
Javy Lopez
Dontrelle WillisWhat a good list overall. An early season ROY D-train would be a lot of fun. That guy could handle the bat as well (hit .241 his rookie year). Would love to see delgado. I gotta add Ben Sheets…the Brewers I grew up following were so bad for so long…he was our lone bright spot.
