The Return of Pepe Alazar. What is with SDS Infatuation with Fake Cards?
-
Seriously, here we are again with SDS introducing 30 fake cards (real names, but completely made up attributes) that are as good or better than anything else in the game (save about 5 cards). 30 cards who are given attributes equal the the MVP season of a Hall of Famer that is being released 4 days earlier. What a joke, when real players (including all time greats) have their attributes “based on” actual stats only for SDS to just make up attributes for other cards however they feel.
-
So I know the debate around this series of cards has been around for awhile but seriously at this point why is every still surprised. Future Stars has been apart of this game since 2017, so 6 years of this game pretty certain they are not going anywhere.
Also it's a fantasy mode we have players from all generation players with an against each other. So we can be OK with Babe Ruth facing off against Jacob Degrom and that's believed able but a projections style card (something even real life commentaries try and do) is the fantasy line we can't cross?
-
I a not a fan of the completely fake cards either but to answer your question it gives them content to add without needing separate license deals for every player and allows them to give a good card to every team, especially those without a lot of other options.
-
I’ll take one Reggie Stocker then if they are coming out with more fake cards.
-
SDS just keeps piling up the L's.
See you guys in a month.
-
I'd prefer cards of guys who've actually been MLB stars but these are fun too as long as they're not stupid OP like Edward Cabrera,
I'm assuming it'll be very similar to the first feature program but I hope they've done away with no-sell, no-choice packs.
I also hope the Tigers get Riley Greene.

You aren't excited about another korey Lee card? Lol

If you wan't future stats to stop then you got to go convince dan Quisenberry to give SDS his rights. Until the Royals, Diamondbacks, and Rangers have more legends its not possible to do programs where every team gets a card without future stars
-
They should have made this one of the first 2 programs with lower rated future stars. The fact that they're 95s overall and probably better than almost every card in the game is ridiculous. No one wants to pull an Arrenado from their lineup for a Joe Schmo that wont be in the league for 3-4-5 years.
This is supposed to be MLB The Show....not MLB The Maybe In A Few Years

Honestly, the issue is more how good they make these in relation to actual players/actual seasons. To me Future Stars cards should be more on the henchmen level of attributes. I guarantee at least 10 of these are going to be very, very good and will effectively marginalize the MVP Reggie that comes out today.

Joe Schmo has a promising future, can't wait to watch his career progress.

That's such a worn out argument as well because let's face it, in just a couple weeks anything released this week will be marginalized by something else. That's DD it marches on.
SDS has 7 months of content to produce and I for one would rather we get 95 Future Stars now and the in August get the biggest names in the game so I can enjoy them during Sept and Oct months when I am back inside after the summer.
They way these are released and when they are release is very stragic and makes perfect sense

And There are still a bunch of legend hitter we still haven't gotten good cards for yet. Jeff bagwell, goose, Luis Gonzales, Brett, Dibble,... I was hoping this would be high 90s legend and flashbacks.

Again, I need to point this out.
As a kid, the BEST, most sought-after cards in baseball card packs were rookie cards. (cards of players that had yet to prove anything at the major league level)
I see this merely as an extension of that and I don't mind it one bit.

Why not have high school players? They have proven as much as some of the “future stars”.

Because they are not part of the licensing deal.
I agree with the above poster in that this should have been the first program. The FOTF cards should be higher rated in my opinion. The two programs should have been flipped.
-
Future stars come out this time every year, 99% of them are good for a few weeks and then get replaced by the bigger legends when they come out... Again these cards are about growing the game in general... People always get mad when they come out, but most of these guys won’t be in a lot of July line ups.

Hey don't come here an use logic and history didn't you read the rules

I understand the motive for the future stars because for fans of about 15-20 teams currently they don’t have much to be excited for except their top prospects.
I dislike this way of doing inning cards (if it’s the same as FOTF) because you can’t sell the randoms you have no interest in using and having so many “bosses” makes it feel watered down.
I’d feel more excited about it if there were like 6 bosses of the true top prospects with elite cards rather than 30 cards with 10 or so cards for players outside of the top 100 prospects list who most likely never play for the team they’re representing.
