He’s the season 5 Pirates captain, so if you wanted to use him on a Pirates theme team, you are either at risk of getting banned or are out of luck. It’s all so poorly planned or just terrible attention to detail. SDS needs to do better.
How would you get banned if you use him?

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X
If you wanted to use the 99 version with the captain boost for season 5 using the workaround.

Yeah, that would get you banned. I thought they fixed that.

They are 100% trolling. It’s December nobody wants this card, they can’t spend all of their professional time working on this game and feel like this reveal was going to get players hyped in December. the Boggs card was at least a fan favorite type with insanely juiced power, Bill Mazeroski is a middle finger warm up for when they reveal Nelson Cruz as the main reward for the program
-
I don't think they are trolling. They probably looked and said "Gee we have not given Mazeroski a card over a 95 yet."
But, I do think that they just did not pay enough attention to their timing. Releasing a second Set 5 Mazeroski when his first Set 5 card is a captain card just can't be chalked up to anything but poor planning. I mean Legends are not earning any any extra cards due to their performance during the year so they should be planned out well in advance so players don't have to choose between a captain card and a 99 card in the same set.
I understand with current players that you never know how they will perform each year. Will they get a Topps Now card, a POTM card, an All-Star card, a special series card (Field of Dreams, London Series). That makes them harder to plan out but there should be no such issues with legends.

@Redd666ish
Haha, that would be amazing if they had the nerve to do something like that. At this point if it’s anybody besides Willie Mays they are gonna get extreme backlash.
-
@Dolenz
100% agree. This is yet another illustration of the poor planning throughout this entire game cycle. Basically zero foresight. Tons of overlap, duplicates, and cards that generally make no sense given their release date.

Guess we aren’t getting an update this morning?

It's still early for them. Only 7:00 am where SDS is located.
-
@TripleH-4481 How awesome would it be if every card in this program was a variation of Retro Mazeroski?
-
SDS for the Love of God can you give us some players that we don’t already have? This is getting so old already! I can honestly say I’m starting to get bored for the first time since I’ve had the game and I am SO SICK OF LOOKING AT 5 & 6 different cards of the same players! You guys may not realize this but you’re ruining your own game!!!! Give us new players!!! If you don’t have the right to new players send pay these players or these players family’s what they want to put them on this game!!! You’ve already made 10’s of millions on this game! Now give something back to the community that keeps you guys going! We don’t need 7 different cards of Willie Mays and please don’t tell me your giving us a Bill Mazeroski card sheesh!!

Well, grab a coffee, and let's go. Chop, chop!
Snap throw! -
@arvcpa
That would be a bit too obvious. They have to be somewhat subtle with the trolling.

Finest Program Cards - Happy everyone is getting their Willie Mays. I am also happy Lou Brock finally got a 99. Even as a cardinals fan though I don't care much about Joe Torre.
-
Here are all the cards today I think - Four extra Retro Finest that may be earnable simply by doing moments.
-
Hopefully they do Willie Mays justice. His swing isnt the greatest but his Finest stats should be nearly 125 across.

That is his MVP year where he hit .317 with 52 HRs and 112 RBIs. He also walked more than he struck out (76 to 71) so if not maxed attributes most of them should at least be close.
For Lou Brock, '67 was the year he had his highest HR total but a lower SB number so possibly they up his power and subtract a few points from BR Aggression. But when you say lower SB number for Brock you are still talking 52 SB.

I always like Joe Torre cards. Not sure why, but one of my favorites.
-
@arvcpa
Joe Torres card last year was so underrated. Honeslty one of the best catcher cards in the entire game for me. Hopefully its a similar card.

85 speed Willie , Ok
