The Return of Pepe Alazar. What is with SDS Infatuation with Fake Cards?
-
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.

It’s not logic, it’s an opinion (Learn the difference). A lot of us do not like them making these completely fake cards/attributes when they have so many better options available with real MLB players. They could do a “great months of baseball” series to give every team a player card from a good month that player had. At least that would be based on reality.

Absolutely.
Here's why I get pissed though. I have to wait for a usable Bagwell card even longer now because of this fake series stuff.

I’ll take one Reggie Stocker then if they are coming out with more fake cards.
I second this! Bring back Stocker!

Bro I been complaining about these “fiction cards” from day 1! Nobody cares. SDS does whatever they want. They could be doing so much more though. Instead of the “fiction cards”, they could produce hundreds of flashback cards for current players.
-
I don't mind these cards. There might be a few that stick in my lineup for a while.
-
I don’t hate future stars, I just hate how insanely juiced they always are. Love the prospect series. Adleys prospect card should be as high these cards go.
We just got a highly anticipated Roy Halladay. Now he’s going to be washed out by super juiced players that have barely played any MLB games (if any at all). I think that’s what people hate about them.
-
I’m a big baseball fan. I have decent knowledge of top prospects for many of teams. I for one like the future cards.
^
This is a true expression of opinionMy question isn’t why are these guys getting cards. My question, two or three years later is why haven’t they become as good as their cards? It’s the players faults for not living up to SDS’s projections.

This is a joke btw. Not a statement to take seriously. -

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
I agree with this. Bobby Witt Jr is forecast to be a star. I don't think these cards should be as high as the Trouts or legends that have actually put up good stats in the majors. I would like to see these cards max out at maybe 92. I do think Witt will be a star in this league but Trout is a reach.

It's gotta be a balance though, SDS has to make them good enough to make people care

Even if they made them 99’s I wouldn’t use them out of principle. They haven’t earned it.

Ok, I will use them bc I'm not very concerned with who has or has not earned a virtual card no one will care about in a month or two.

Yeah I get that, it's a different world now. I'm very big into rl baseball cards and get astonished by how much the big prospects go for $. Way higher then hall of famers or current stars.
