This confuses me. Two different Rivera cards. Lower rated is Core and can be used ALL YEAR. Higher rates is a Set 2 which becomes 'obsolete' in a few months.
Wildcard
I doubt there are many people who would waste their one wildcard spot on a reliever with cards like Babe Ruth, Chipper Jones, Griffey Jr, Mike Trout, Ohtani, etc.
Sure, he technically won't be irrelevant, but no one will be using him outside of modes where you can use any set.
That being said, I don't get the confusion from freezeoff. Of course the lower tier card would be core, and therefore usable all year. If they made every player's best card a core card, then why even bother introducing sets in the first place?

I think for me its Donaldson depending on his stats.
Mainly because I'm a Blue Jays fan and Canadian so I have to get him.
Also Rivera and Utley I feel like are my 2nd and 3rd choice perhaps but Utley could be number 1 if his stats are solid since I need a good 2nd baseman.
I love Rivera in this game a lot like many do, but I was expecting either him or Aroldis Chapman to come this season tbh.
I'd say Aroldis will be a Set 3-4 or something like that. -
Does Utley come with the "dirty player/cheap shot" trait? LMAO. Dude was ranked by MLB players as the 2nd dirtiest player in the game when he was active. Doesn't make him a bad card though but I wouldn't be picking his card personally, just like in Madden I won't use Vick. Also why I won't use Machado in The Show.

Not sure why everyone keeps using the word "obsolete" or complains about not being able to use a card once that Set cycles out... Wild Card still exist, and you can still use the "expired" Sets in most other modes just not in Ranked outside of Wild Card.
Also I'm going Rivera, Donaldson (for my Cover Athlete team, still need that Howard btw), Maddux, Sizemore and way last and only if I get a 5th Boss pack (not gonna break my neck to do it though)... Utley

I'm interested in seeing if a TA 1 hitting captain will work in the WC spot. Gives you a little flexibility hopefully.

going donaldson just because its fun hitting dongs with JD20, then maddux and then rivera, plan on getting them all though through the wheel of terror.

Yeah but buy 99 these cards are no good because they are in a free pack all the good cards are behind a pay wall
You must not have used the Free on Day One 99 Kershaw in 19 then.
My apologies, my attempt at sarcasm failed and apparently came off as genuine lol.
I very much remember that 19 Kershaw for good and bad reasons lol.
I am very excited about alot of what is coming today!

Yes, I know about the Wild Card. What I meant is from what I've read is you can still use 'expired' cards, in certain offline modes, but you won't earn and PXP with them. Is that just for 'active' programs or all programs?
Meaning if I want to use the 97 Rivera after Set 2 is 'over', which I think is when Set 4 comes out, does that mean if he is my Closer, I can no longer earn any PXP with him that goes towards a program?

@Ericulous1_PSN said in Set 2 program bosses:
I could change my mind as soon as I get my first pack but as it stands, I think my first pick would be Utley. I really like his swing.
In order I’d go-
Utley
Mariano
Donaldson
Sizemore
MadduxMaddux is the one I would want for Nostalgia. I'd have to see the stats though to know who I would take.
The Cardinals we have seen so far have not overly excited me. I am happy to see the McGwire captain card because prices have kept me from getting the Musial captain card. Torre has just never been a favorite of mine, either in real life of the game.

You must have a very hard time navigating life if this is how you operate.
I hope you never purchased any Nike products in your lifetime

I don't know, did Scherzer show up with extra sticky stuff on his hands?

Depends on the program... with Rivera being Set 2, if you are still doing TA2 or TA3 his PXP will count for the Yankees (as well as himself if he has a mission that you haven't completed and/or if the mission is repeatable).

Yeah. I kinda jumped the gun on this. Barely rarely do I play Ranked. And I assume that will be the only H2H mode, minus a set specific Event, where I can use him.
Plus, I like my pitchers to have a 5 pitch mix and his Core card is only 4.

5 pitch relievers are rare.
