I’m not a The Show historian, but this has to be the first time a new program’s top rewards/bosses are all lower OVR than the previous program’s top rewards/bosses. We’re going from 90 FOTF to 88 on every card, right?
I’ve only got one cover athlete (Josh Donaldson) and he will probably be my 3B probably until Brett (or a better JD) drops. Looking forward to this program bringing the prices down on the rest.
This is just an extra program though, not a new featured program.

Generally when the don't update the schedule on Tuesday to what is coming Friday they are Generally hiding something as a surprise. Not always the case but more often then not during the season if it's not updated we get some cool stuff like this program so maybe something else will be there. It's double xp this weekend so they will want to engage the community

Unless they are previewing a program that is still 8 days away I don't think this is a main program. I think it will be an "Other" program.
Most definitely will be. If I remember right they said on the DD stream that the 2nd featured program was choose 2 of 5 legends or something along those lines

I’m guessing this program comes out today along with the event. I don’t think they release stuff 2 days in a row.

That program can’t come soon enough, this one is an absolute dud.

It could be, but events and Ranked have always been kinda out of the ordinary when it comes to the typical Tuesday/Friday releases. The face of the franchise event started on a Monday and they still did the headliners and such the next day

In 2017, we had 2 All-Star programs featuring a 98 Felix and a 99 Sandburg, followed by the 1st ever batch of Future Stars that culminated in a 96 Yoan Moncada.

I wonder how many of those cards will be attainable in the path…I like Miggy and Mauer. I’d be stoked if I could earn both.
Mauer rips although power is limited - defense is great
Howard is a beast also

Does he rip like Larkin?

I guess I am not seeing why everyone is so upset about this program. Nobody wants to spend tons of stubs on preorder cards and this is a way to obtain at least one more of them early in the game cycle.

When does this program drop?
I think its probably safe to assume it will be tomorrow
So now they drop content they don't have on the schedule?
I know right? How dare they give us extra content not on the schedule.....

Fair enough, but we all know 96 Moncada plays like p5 99 Moncada, so it balances out.

“Everyone upset”? Wasn’t it just one person who made a thread? Pretty sure everyone else is happy with additional surprise content.

I hate when people give me free sht, almost as much as I hate when people give me more free sht

Meh. I'll get them eventually for big collections, but after completing the LS I don't feel especially compelled to grind this one. Would be nice to have Mauer, but Adley is just fine.

im not, I just wish you got to pick up 2 cards and not just one. But I know sooner or later they will be in conquest packs and likely 1 or 2 in the next big program.
I wish they did team affinities again rather than making the first program essentially that. The only positive I've gotten out of not having it, is being able to play more with cards I want to Parallel rather than only East, West or Central guys.

New program with a cover card choice pack as the reward
Interested to see what this includes maybe a new conquest map with the 11 teams featured some moments and pxp with the 11 teams players could be alot of fun

Actually the one who made the thread didn’t complain at all. When reading through I saw complaints that it was 88s and others that it was a “dud”. Everyone is welcome to their opinion…I am just happy that it is one more cover card and could potentially drop prices as well.

Interesting. I'm not in a rush for 96 Mauer yet so probably still won't do the collection. Not sure who I will go with. Probably Miggy
If you get choice pack and they are sellable the prices will drop. If they get down to 8k I'll buy all of them just to get it done with. There to many right handed bats in the collection rewards, I could use a lefty.
Prices will also increase over time so when the first collection drops, you might see a significant profit.
