I cannot believe the attributes on this 2nd Half 99 Griffey Jr. lmao absolutely hilarious how unusable that card is on HOF/Legend.
How do you hype up a 99 Griffey Jr and drop that? I’m flabbergasted
Given that Ortiz was dropped out of the sky as a 99 overall player program card with awesome stats, I thought, hey, maybe they’re doing the right thing and releasing THE 99 Griffey Jr earlier this year. Given the negative feedback of his card being the last big collection at the end of last years cycle, I thought maybe they’ll get it right this time around.
Boy was I wrong. What a joke of a card and what a joke to hype this up.
I obviously understand we’ll get a better 99 Griffey but they put themselves in the same stupid position as last year; the best Griffey dropping end of game cycle. Did you not learn from last year? Obviously not
And for those that say, oh it’s a player program card, I wouldn’t have expected much…look at Ortiz
They could have done the right thing and gave us THE 99 Griffey card through a longer grind this year making him free, and obtainable earlier
What did they do? Drop an excuse of a card right when Madden is coming out on top of doubling down about saying their game is working as intended when it’s an obvious mess
Just incredible how out of touch they are with their consumer base lmao
And I’m not even mad, I honestly think it’s hilarious they are getting roasted deservedly across social media. What a disappointment
-
couldn’t agree more. and people are going to defend this because it’s “free.” what a tease, only to be disappointed yet again
-
I bought Riley Greene, I was holding off bc I didn't know where to play him, now I do.

Gameplay is already awful. We’re solely relying on content to keep players sticking around
And you drop this after hyping it up? My goodness who makes these decisions lmao

All the content creators Getting there Ratios in on that Twitter post lol. and well deserved and all seem just as disappointed as most of us are. I keep refreshing Twitter in hopes of another post saying they made a mistake but nope no luck . It just works as intended 🥴.

Doesn't the majority of the "best cards" happen between the end of the actual Baseball season and the end of the year?
It may be disappointing to many of us but it is how they try and keep player retention higher during the offseason.

Can we talk about the nice try ramone sound they put in

Majority yes. We’re talking Griffey Jr here. Probably the most popular card
He was release very late last year. Many thought this was going to be his best card given they teased “are you ready to grind?”. It’s a 24 point player program with a bad card
It’s an L no matter how you spin it

People leaving in droves soon if they haven’t already that much is clear as games start coming out. this year IMO just hasn’t been it

I mean its a very blatant troll job. My expectations fell to the floor when they announced it was a 2nd half card and honestly I think this whole thing is kind of comical myself.
-
Would be cool if they added a stage two into the program like in POTM and you did missions with this Jr. to evo him up to like a 99 MVP card

️.I have been on these forums any number of years and the times I have read statements about people leaving the game as soon as Madden or some other game releases are too numerous to count.

He looks a lot like the Jorge Mateo 95 Topps now card stats wise. Just saying

Years past the content was there even if the gameplay was behind. This year really stands out for me the Content isn’t there (Worse than last years IMO) and the gameplay is well the same.

Welp.
I do need 2nd half heroes cards for Cutch, but dayam. Glad I'm at work and am just finding out. And 24 points? Shoulda made it 30, lol.
Grind? Ha.
My pants were around my ankles for this. Now I have to pull them up. -
I opened the program, looked at the path and rewards, closed the program and turned off the game. Maybe near the next collection or if I need the program points in a week but not wasting my time now for that one. Juice ain’t worth the squeeze.

THESE CONTACT STATS FOR GRIFFEY ARE AGREGIOUS!!!!

That is the perfect statement!
However, to your point about last year, the good 99 Griffey Jr. was always dropped very late in the last few years game cycles. In MLBTS 20, he was the solo boss in the last inning before the forever inning (like Pujols last year). In ‘19 he was a late inning boss. As you stated, they did hype this up. I don’t know if it’s because they don’t like Griffey, or, most likely, they want people who might move to a different game to stay with them.
You do make a good point with the 99 Ortiz card.
As you are, I am flabbergasted myself! -
They will likely drop a 99 Takahashi Griffey, but by that point most people wont even care
