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
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.
No problem vent on... I don't disagree... just a heads up brother
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.
Hahaha... I actually did like Bags a lot and Schmidt as well growing up. But yeah omg this game both have horrible swings.

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!

I wish it wasn’t, but Bagwell’s swing is perennially terrible and Astros fans are the only ones looking forward to him.
At least Biggio has a great swing. I loved that card from the collection in ‘20.

It's not bad if you practice with him. He will never be meta but I use him year

I agree man. Another reason why I hate future stars is it prolongs or replaces content of legitimate MLB players.
I’m a Rockies fan, so our history is limited obviously, but there’s so many FBs they could create.
Instead of a 95 Future Stars, I’d take an All-Star Blackmon, a Breakout Kyle Freeland for when he almost won the Cy Young, that milestone Dexter Fowler, All-Star Marquez, the list goes on.. and these are all CURRENT players. No rights needed. It just feels lazy to me.
-
Yeah a good Bagwell card is needed early in the game. When they released his 99 card from last years game his card was completely obsolete.
-
Page 2 stats as of this morning....
Yankees 26
Phillies 22
Cleveland 16
Toronto and BOS at 15
9 teams at 13 or 14
12 teams 9-11
TB, CHW, TEX 8
KC 7Yes it's early, but that's way top heavy. Don't sleep on card quality either. Most of those 7-11 teams are low quality outside of 2-3 cards for each of them.
-
Doesn't Bagwell have a little kids bat in every Show game and doesn't play well. Or am I miss remembering

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.
I’d love to see a 1996 Ellis Burks!

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.
I'm the same way with Robin Yount. Frustrating how they ignore all time greats so long

FYI Bagwell card in the game today

Yep. Gives me something to hold down 1B with for fun.
Thank you SDS.

Yeah Great the same terrible 89 overall card they always give him. Enjoy this card for the next 4 months.

And hoboadam got banned.
No idea why, but the last thread where (my dad) mentioned very politely that SDS needs to do better is now gone.
This place has died. Unbelievable.
-
And thank you for fixing this issue, whoever was responsible at SDS

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.
I really hope the next Griffey upgrade doesn't take that long to arrive. I didn't even use the Cover Athlete one because by the time I got enough stubs (which wasn't a lot) to afford him, I had enough free 90's from the FotF program that he would have road the bench. Now 2 months into the game, he definitely would not make the team unless I was using him for PXP.
-
They released a lower diamond card for him in the flashback packs
-
For the Astros I’m hoping we get a nice Signature Springer this year, 95-96 good all around card a little earlier than that same post season card we get every year.
