    But everyone who was alive in the 90s and early 2000s favorite player has a 96 overall (that isn't even usable) at this point in the year.

    WE
    WANT
    GRIFFEY!

    Larry Walker is 99 and so are Vlad Sr and The Big Hurt. What do you mean?

    I agree with you

    If you had to pick 1 card that the majority of the player base looks forward to each year, casual or hardcore, is Griffey

    You have to release him at a point where he can be used for at least a month or two for casuals, and a long time for dedicated players

    All other cards can be rotated yearly. The 99 Griffey needs to be released yearly before September/October, period.

    It’s really not that hard to imagine tbh. Trout’s the best player of the current generation and only has a 96 too.

    There’s a reason Griffey always has some kind of lower card at the beginning of the year, followed by one or two slightly better cards, then gets his 99. That way people have a Griffey card to use at different stages in the game cycle. Sure, we’re at the point where his 99 would fit in, but I think them waiting to release it isn’t that big of a deal.

    Um I have used Griffey pretty much all year,

    Used his 88 to start the year

    Then switched to his 96

    Took a break to try out some other cards

    Will gladly welcome is 99 home

    To many people hang their hat on a 99 card and miss what is right in front of them

    To piggyback off this... ratings are just a number. The difference between a 96 and 99 might not make a huge difference. I use the 97 overall Eduardo Escobar. Love the card and it’s versatility.

    I think we all are anticipating a 99 Griffey, but he’s had decent cards and he’s probably being held back to keep everyone’s interest in the game that are still playing.

    Just because a card isn't a 99; it doesn't mean it's not usable.

    Besides, it should be the skill of the person on the controller, not the rating of the card, that matters.

    IIRC he was the 10th inning boss last year. They do need to hold some big names for later in the year as the baseball season ends to try and keep engagement. This is why we don't have 99 Griffey & Babe yet.

    If he’s an extreme pull hitter, I am not interested, in ‘19 all I did was hit line drives into the shift with him 😂. I am quite happy with Sig Cutch, his swing is just too sweet.

    But it's that COMBINED with the card's attributes/quirks!

    I'm on OP's side on this one. I started playing the Show right after TA3 was released. So at no point since I started playing has there been a top Griffey card for me to use.

    I have tried the 96 Griffey enough to know how much I love his swing, but also clearly see he doesn't match up with other current options.

    Like imagine using the 96 Griffey over the 99 Bellinger. Not happening.

    I can imagine it. I switch my lineups everyday and use a ton of different players, 96 Griffey being one of them. I get it, if you're playing at a high level online you would take Bellinger. But that is just one fraction of the game. I just don't get the people who have one God Squad. This game would bore me to tears if I used one lineup of Meta cards.
