    It’s not that complicated man do the program if you want the cards and don’t if don’t want them. These programs are incredibly easy to complete even semi passively and all free cards count the same towards collections. Even at rarified air up there at 700 ranked cards can play above their attributes and it’s far more important a guys swing timing fits for you than what rating you by adding attributes and dividing by 6.

    @BobCarface said in Why do the Season Award Program?:

    Why did you divide by 6 and which hitting stats did u use?

    1. Con R = 113
    2. Con L = 90
    3. Pow R = 84
    4. Pow L = 96
    5. Vis = 65
    6. Clutch = 84
    7. Disc = 52

    Total numbers = 584 ÷ 7 = 83.4. You round down anything .5 and under.
    So his overall hitting rating is (((((83)))) Enjoy his 83 rated gold card guys!

    Now if u take his low discipline away, his card gets boosted to a ((((89)))) 👍

    This is based on his hitting numbers. Speed does NOT have ANYTHING to do with RATING. 99 speed is beautiful, but it does nothing for actual hitting numbers.

    Now his fielding in the 80's is above average, and speed is great. But once again, let me reiterate, SPEED HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OVERALL RATING OF THE CARD.

    So speed, fielding, stealing, mean nothing

    Boy wait till you find out what baseball includes

    Show me what fielding stats equals 95.. I'll wait....

    Speed has NOTHING to DO with the overall rating of the card. It's lovely to have 99 speed of course.

    But just for kicks and giggles, I included speed and fielding. Here's the true rating.

    Top 7 hitting stats = 83 rated
    Fielding = 82
    Speed = 99
    Overall rating = ((((((88)))))
    The speed raised this fraud 95 card from an 82.5 to an 88, lol.

    Numbers don't lie.
    I love how ppl still don't see what's right in their face. All I'm trying to say is, if SDS makes a card a 95, the stats should be comparable to an actual 95 rated card!
    This card is an 88 rated card whether you choose to see it or not.

    I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you. Smh.

    These calculations just don’t make sense

    We’ll agree to disagree because Witt Jr is a good card. For this point in the game, his free 95 is good no matter what type of formulas you try to use to justify your view of the card

    In no world does a 95 with his attributes equate to an 83 lmao

    That's literally the proper way to determine the overall rating of a card.
    But what you're trying to say is, math is wrong. It's like, say if Witt went 4 for 4 with 4 homeruns in one game. Then the announcer says, with that 4 for 4 day, Witt is now hitting .345. Then you argue by saying, but he had 4 hits and is hitting .1000. It don't make sense he's only hitting .345......
    The .345 is the overall average "formula" determined based on his at bats and OVERALL hits. Not what he did in one day.

    Every number matters in hitting. His batting vs RH, LH, power, vision, clutch, etc.

    If the card says 95, the average numbers should show that.
    U say it's free. I love hearing this. The card is not free. You have to use your time invested to grind to get the card. What u mean to say Is, it's easy to grind and get. Which would absolutely be true, and I do not disagree.
    However, the points you make still does not change the "FACT" the card is an 88 overall rated card, not a 95.

    Hitting attributes are not the only thing that maters on a card that plays his position. On top of that, his hitting attributes are good for people that are even semi-talented in this game considering the vast majority of the player base in DD plays on all star. Those that reach HOF and legend in ranked don’t need massive PCIs to be successful.

    Secondly, who cares about discipline? What does that even affect?

    You’re the first and only person to use this “math” to try and calculate cards and it’s flawed at best

    Secondly, who cares about discipline? What does that even affect?

    You’re the first and only person to use this “math” to try and calculate cards and it’s flawed at best

    I did the full calculations for hitting, fielding, and even included his speed to bump his rating. There are 50 rated cards with 99 speed, so speed does not even calculate with the overall rating.
    The overall rating of a card is determined by average numbers of the players overall hitting and fielding.
    SDS gives a card it's (((OWN RATING))) and calculates the stats based on a computer algorithm reflecting the player's overall performance based on his actual stats.

    No one is questioning his great 99 speed and hitting stats being considered nice.
    What I'm pointing out is the FACT the overall rating shows a 95, whereas the math does NOT add up to 95. It's an 88, meaning the card rating of 95 is not accurate based on simple overall stats on the card.

    If you can't see it, then please go back to 3rd grade.
    It's funny how stupid people argue when they can't see the truth for themselves.

    Ok, here's a fun project I'd like you to try. It's very simple. How many actual stats = 95+ on his card? How many stats are less than 95? If the numbers less than 95 are more than those that are 95 +, then do you believe the card deserves a 95 overall rating? That's all I'm going to say. Lol smh.

    1. Speed does play into the overall rating of a card

    2. Different ratings are weighted differently based on the position a player plays, haven’t you wondered why if you go into franchise mode and change a position their overall rating will change without changing any of their attributes?

    3. Vision is almost irrelevant to anyone that understands the game, contact and clutch are much more important and his is fine. Overall a good early game card that I will probably use.

    I mean, I've been using Captain Dansby Swanson at SS, with the Buxton boost, and I'm probably going to just keep using him. He has about the same hitting stats with better clutch and better fielding.
    Maybe the boosts are to blame for not being excited, but Witt doesn't get any aside from Royals TT. He's not bad, he's just not exciting the way Lightning cards usually are.

    He's literally the 7th best option at ss, and is the highest rated card. SDS is a joke. 84 Willie Castro is better with the Buxton boost in regards to hitting. How disappointing.

    Agree or disagree with Shauwn, but at least this post is not as boring as "this game sucks" lol

    That said, I'll come back to it on Monday. I'm not doing math on the weekend 🤣

    JFC these whining posts are out of control. For the millionth time - It’s a game, It’s entertainment…If you’re not enjoying the grind, the setup, the gameplay, whatever…Then play something else. Nobody is forcing you to play & nobody cares lol. Seriously, Go find another game - There are SO MANY choices, Why play a game you hate everything about?

    I respect the thought process. I will point out that some the of hitting numbers have a max at 125 and not 100. I'm sure that has to factor into the algorithm here, yea?

    Why do the season award program?

    A. Because its content and thats what most of us look for when playing the game.

    B. Because the lower tier cards now are used for collections and getting higher tier cards later on.

    C. Both A and B.

    All the above, I have no problems with this game. It's still fun to play and I definitely enjoy doing mini seasons and the nation of baseball conquest map on repeat

    Of course I still did the program. It took 20 minutes. That's not the actual reason for creating this thread.
    I created it to show how disappointed I am with how bad SDS waters down these cards.
    I like Witt, I'd like to use Witt. I want Witt to be that guy for my WS run.
    I'm merely pointing out things other ppl may not see. Then I get bashed for it?
    Once again, Witt is a 95 overall rated card with 88 overall rated stats. If ya'll are content and fine with that, then by all means slot him in your lineup.
    Foe me, it's disappointing bc as a 95 overall card, it sucks. 60's vision and 84 clutch is just bad at a competitive level. If u use this card at 700+ then I respect that!
    I won't be using him simply bc his card is not good enough.
    I'd rather use Cpt Dansby, Willie Castro, Rich Aurillia, Trevor Story, Ernie Banks, and Corey Seager.
    I would much rather see Witt as a top ss option, but he just isn't.

    Then why say anything about the program to begin with if you were just gonna do it anyway, if you don't like the way the game is this year then don't play and certainly don't complain about everything little thing on it
