If they started at 91-93 diamonds in season 1, 93-95 season 2, and 95-97 in 3 no one would be arguing.
They wanted to push sales early on a full priced game by having 99s day one. Not to mention the others locked behind diamond duos.
I appreciate some of the different cards we’ve got this year but it seems like a missed opportunity overall.
They preached lineup diversity from having multiple seasons, yet a second 99 Nolan Ryan and Ricky Henderson isn’t diversity.
If they wanted lineup diversity, all they had to do was change the swings of guys like Mike Schmidt, Willie Ways, Johnny Bench, Harmon Killebrew etc so that they are not a liability to getting jammed with their swings they have now. Make no mistake it was never about lineup diversity, it was about us spending money on stubs.

I really wonder what demographic section of people they are trying to allure with all these new series of cards?
Tween girls who want pictures of "hunky guys".
So ... Ashley?!?
So assuming from the White Sox jersey's she is always wearing that she is from the South Side? Maybe a cast member of the show Shameless. Makes sense now.

Disappointing WS rewards again too. No one wants Gary Carter…Storybisnt exciting….Maybe the Greinke card will be fun,

I think sets and season is still a cool idea in theory, it's practical application has been far less cool.
I don't think sets can work unless they add a ton of new legends (which is unlikely due to the cost). With a limited pool like they have now there is far too much repetition.
What you say it true but you had to know from the beginning that we were going to see rinse and repeat cards with the lack of Legends in the game. Whose idea was it to put Jerry Hairston Jr in the game as a Legend? That is beyond laughable.
You're right, I did expect repeats but this is worse than I thought it would be. Everything is dupes now, only the picture changes.
And they are statistically worse

Yeah it makes no sense. At all.
Almost seems like SDS is trying to alienate the player base.

Fully expect McGwire and Sosa will be 98 overalls to faithfully commemorate the '98 season.

How can they do this stream with a straight face?

Hot garbage

Story isnt exciting
I mean, I grew up in New England as a Red Sox fan. What in the world has he done for the Red Sox to deserve a 99?
Insane.

Sets could've worked if they didn't start off the year with 99s.

I think it would've been better, but you still need many more players available.

This season is way to long, 64 days?
I get the timing but oh may

@dsparks_PSN said in TA 97, HR race of 98, Clemente Day:
So with how things are going so far, when TA comes out for the Finest series, I'm wondering are they also going to be 97s
Hopefully we can get some Finest 95s as the rewards for season 5.

What in the world has he done for the Red Sox to deserve a 99?
The one thing that would have redeemed the Kaiju series?
If the Kaiju was, in fact, Hideki Irabu.

Well... season 4, is a let down. Players i like (not the cards lol) Babe Ruth Sox card, Ernie Banks, Rickey Henderson guess. But they all recycles, outside of Babe being a two player this time. Not worth grinding stuff over. TA4 meh
