Wake me up when Bagwell arrives
-
Content team has ZERO logic for continuity this year.
Let's drop multiple diamond Yankees 1B all within the first quarter...
Let's have 3 Brian Wilson cards. Gotta catch em all...
How many Nelson Cruz cards does it take to screw a lightbulb? Apparently 4...
Hey, here's a great new legend, JR Richard. Let's put the worst possible pitch mix on him we can...
Here's Jimmy Rollins for the event. But wait, let's drop a Phillies SS as the fake series card...
It's not just Bagwell. It's a thoughtless bunch this year. I mean, we had 23... Yes, 23 Yankees on page 2, when the next highest was 13. Most had 11-12. Some as low as 9.
It's really bad optics this season and extremely disappointing from a 49 year old person's perspective.
I've been looking for that thing which has turned me off to the game this year. I think it's this release methodology.

Was nice knowing the content team. Been a pretty good run. Not sure where they happen to be these days, but yeah... Let's keep pumping out lots of other garbage in the interim.
OMG, let's drop another Brian Wilson! We can give them Bagwell again in December!
Wait, let's throw out 30 fake series cards...
He's on the legend roster again, so y'all didn't lose rights. He's not a trash can banger, so that narrative won't work.
I'm only one person. I know I'm not moving the needle here. But, I am extremely disappointed.
Astros have been under represented this game cycle. Majority of the content released continues to pile up in the L column.
Enjoy the rest of your day folks.
Now that you mention it I remember waiting until Christmas last year for Griffey. Maybe I will go back to 21 and hit some bombs with the Griffey we had to wait 9 months for.

What did you expect them to give Richard….sinker with outlier? Guy threw a fastball and a slider, he deserves what he has

Not sure how old you are, but there was a fork/split there.
Here. So you don't have to Google it
Go watch the YouTube video of the All Star game where he strikes out Reggie. Reggie and the catcher missed the ball. Was not a slider or a running FB.
JR was the reason I started following the Astros back in 1978 living in NYC. Sorry, but something other than the two he has was appropriate. Don't try to tell me that these fake series cards have 5 pitches with speed differentials 15-20 mph apart.

They have given sinkers to so many pitchers that do not throw or did not throw sinkers.

People usually have to wait for Pujols too.
Griffey was a long wait, yeah. You had quite a few years of him though.
Anyways for those who have played since 15-16, late released cards used to get early releases the subsequent years.
My issue reaches beyond Bagwell specifically. SDS has punted here with too many repeats intra-year and not enough representation across all teams not named the Yankees (or Phillies this year).

In this thread:
A grown man gets upset at a video game for releasing “fake cards” for prospects but not releasing a “fake card” for a retired player.
If only there were a way to create a player, and edit the name, and all the features of said player to be that of what you want. And even equip it with a specific batting stance.

Too bad you missed the point. It's beyond Bagwell bruh. Of course, you are fine with the Yankees getting plenty of love.
No thanks for the "recommendation" of RTTS player as a solution.
Oh, and in case you missed the concept of MLB the Show card attributes, they try to mimick a body of work over a certain time period. Fake Series get their little league attributes. I'm just looking for a wider team representation here, along with my personal preferences of players I enjoyed watching play the game.

Good job kid. Another day on the planet, and another day you contributed absolutely nothing.

I’ve contributed more to the conversation than you have.

I know, SDS needs to cater to YOUR preferences. I forgot that they tailor the game to YOUR specific wants and needs.
You have the RTTS solution. You don’t want it.
Don’t use the future stars cards then. (You will)
The other solution is stop playing the game. I suppose you won’t utilize that one either.
So quit complaining about a game that you’re obviously going to continue to play regardless of the content they give you. (You won’t)

Here. I'll feed the troll....
RTTS. Absolutely. I don't play it.
Fake Series cards. Absolutely. I don't use them except for required missions. Been that way since they first were introduced.
Stop playing. Pretty much have already.
Complaining about the game? Na. Everyone does enough of that already. I'm just calling out facts about the lack of logic for card releases this year.
I support the game and staff more than 90% of the people here on TSN. The way they are releasing cards this year is horrible (in MY OPINION). Back in my original post, I advised that I had no expectations of resolution here.
Heaven forbid someone vent.
Enjoy your evening.

Hate to break it to ya, but unless they totally redesign Bagwells swing, he will be trash. He is every year. So just prepare for that so you're not let down. Just my opinion

So when September ends.

I get it. It's a general comment I'm making about content release and using Bagwell as my personal example of a failure here for more diversity of teams getting cards.

We have a private league of guys that use DD cards for friendly games. Bagwell gets over 600 ab a year regardless of the crappy swing. He was juiced about 3 years ago IIRC, but that swing rivals Schmidt in terms of resembling Bantha Poodu.
Bags is still my boy.

Every year since 1996, I took Bagwell in the first round of my in person office fantasy league I ran. Even on the decline, you could book him round one.

That would of been Vlad Sr. and Frank Thomas for me growing up. And I'm a Tigers fan, so imagine the mixed emotions with Frank!
