who cares about accurate representation anymore am I right?
If every card was an accurate representation, literally every DD team would be the same because everyone would be stacking their lineups with the same cards. At least now they give us options to use players that someone else might not like or hit well with.

You just described this game, well done. Joe Torre and Ozzie Smith are an anomaly.

Let's put any and all Jeter debates in a trash can. The dude was clutch AF. BTW I am not a Jeter fan by any means.

If you’re releasing a 2023 game wouldnt you announce it on .. 2/3?!?
The missed opportunities…

He can 125 clutch like a bunch of other 96 overall cards

The dude was clutch AF.
Regular season Slash lines: .310/.377/.440
Postseason Slash lines: .308/.374/.465
You only think he was clutch because he was in the Postseason every single year. He was the same player in the Postseason that he was in the regular season.

People get blinded by his star power. I'm not hating on Jeter, I admire him just like the rest of us. But I'm also objective to his actual on the field performance.

For some reason people take any criticism of Jeter or saying anything short of he was one of the best players ever as some sort of insult like people are saying he was trash. He was a consistently really good player with an average at best glove and not much power. I don’t think that’s an insult, it’s just what he was and he did it really well

Well said.

The Jeter debates always crack me up. @kovz88_MLBTS said it perfectly. He had a 71 career WAR. He was great but not best all time quality. Rolen had the same WAR. Jeter has some insanely clutch moments that will forever be remembered- the Jeter flip, His game winning home run to become Mr November, the 2000 World Series etc. In baseball, winning 5 rings is unheard of in the last 30 years. That doesn’t make a player great necessarily but it does make him a winner. Watch his documentary, he lays it out pretty well. The difference between ARod and Jeter- ARod was the better player but Jeter won.
-
We live in a Show world where Elvis Andrus has a 99 overall so a 125 Jeter could be justified at this point.

I just want to see a cracked Jeter card to witness the collective meltdown this forum would have when they love seeing buffed future stars or cracked current day player cards.

I don’t think anyone would care, people just want to point out that Jeter isn’t an exciting option outside of Yankees fans. Which is mostly true.

2/2? 🧐
Time to spark that Jeter hype again!
apparently people don't care for Jeter but there's no denying that I will be pleased with Derek Jeter being in the game... the only person I'd play over him is Francisco Lindor (because Mets fan) unless I like how I perform with a better card as the year goes along and depending on what missions I have to complete.
-
Jeter in real life was a no doubt first ballot hall of famer. Great player, great leader, great winner, etc. He just wouldn't translate that well to the game. If they are generous his hitting attributes would be Honus Wager but with low 80's defense and low 80's speed. There are so many names that people throw out every year like Jeter, or Manny that if they were in the game most people wouldn't use them.
-
I may be wrong but how would he be any different then Robin Yount?
-
Stupid theory. Anyone else notice that Jazz Chisolm's face scan looks nothing like Jazz Chisolm? Well, guess who else's face scan has changed and looks almost just like Jazz Chisolm now?? One Albert Pujols. They look almost identical now.....could this be a clue about who is gonna be on the Collector's Edition????? Could King Albert be on the Collector's edition? It would the quickest turnaround ever for a retired player yes, but he did just hit 700... hmm

Derek Jeter being on the cover would actually sell copies of the game. Many.

Bias much? I highly doubt it. People who know this game will play it. The group of new players will will somewhat be similar to any other year.

You don't have to be biased to realize that Derek Jeter is a more recognizable face of baseball who will draw in casuals to check out the game if he is on the cover of the Collector's Edition.
That's not meant to disrespect Robin Yount at all.
