Best part of Jeter being in the game...

people can stop complaining that he is not in the game. I feel like everytime SDS announces a new legend player everyone clamors over Jeter. Now the question is who is the love child that everyone will want next?

Now I can be the lone man demanding Tug McGraw and Sparky Lyle.

Tired of these fake cards with fake attributes.Derek Jeter was a shortstop for the New York Yankees baseball team. He wasn't Batman nor any other superhero for that matter.
He was a light hitting defensive shortstop in real life, but will have power and speed in this game for some reason.
I miss sim baseball. This game is turning into Fortnite. It's why they're pushing Japanese anime and this cartoon stuff.

There’s some clouds outside if you wanna go yell at them too

Jeter literally averaged 21 steals per season. There were only 20 guys in all of baseball last year with 21 steals or more. If you want to be mad about fake cards and fake attributes, direct it towards the Future Star cards.

While I think he’s being a baby I don’t think he’s wrong about Jeters speed. The game is different now, steals are rare nowadays. Steals also don’t necessarily equal speed. Jeter should probably max around 80 speed if they want to be generous. His best card will probably be able to reach 90 tho -
I agree with you. I don't even know how long I have been playing this game as this point, too long probably haha. But every year the god cards get introduced earlier and earlier. I honestly wish there was a system like Madden with salary cap so that by June we aren't seeing the same lineups on every team. Then release all the cards you want to but at least make it challenging to build a lineup haha.

In my opinion the gameplay has fallen off and they've added way too many cards just so they can make people do tedious tasks to keep them "engaged".

Didn't he play shortstop?
If he was an iron worker I'd understand it a little better

I’m a Union Ironworker and a lifelong Yankee fan and I have no issue with Jeter on top of a building.
I do take issue with “light hitting defensive shortstop”. The Jeter hate is so ridiculous. It makes me wonder if many of you have actually followed baseball for any appreciable amount of time. He is an all-time great player. He did everything on the field and was as cool/calm a player that came through clutch time and time again.

Except put the team ahead of his own ego when ARod joined the roster.

By not giving up shortstop? You think that cost the team Championships? If anything it probably prolonged Arod’s career since he dealt with injuries later on.

Here’s where I miss counting stats. I get it, advanced Sabre Metrics are important. Sure, they make reading a baseball article akin to a calculus paper and completely rob the sport of its romanticism, but they give us things like launch angle and the shift. Maybe I’m old, but I miss looking at a baseball card to see how many RBIs a guy had or how many times he touched home plate. Not an OPS+ that requires Will Hunting to figure out the equation.
Jeter is 6th all time in hits. 6th. For all the players who have stood in a major league batter’s box in the last 140+ years, there are 5 people with more hits than Derek Jeter. 5!!!!! This should be the end of the debate on whether he was a great player. But if more is needed. He has 5 rings. In modern baseball, that is Brady Esque. He’s 10th all time in Runs. These are not negligible stats.
Is he the GOAT? Of course not. But he was a star player in the biggest market and all he did there was win, hit and score.
