New cards for 7/12
-
Yeah, I still use LS Helsley. Excited to switch it out for this one but what the heck with that pic!?
-
Huge drop this whole week and it just seems like crickets by the team here. This should be their busiest time other than launch and also time to get people back into the game and it seems like they are just punting their hype team social media presence.
-
Im just waiting for the AL pictures.

Was TA 2.1 also Tanner Scott? I might be misrembering
Isn't he the Marlins only representative though? Not much choice if he is.
And SDS got lucky Lindor wasnt the only met so they would release back to back 95s of Lindor
Im certain they knew going in TA2.2 would be all stars, and Scott has been the safest bet all along.
I guess Dee Gordon is officially retired now, shame -

They get criticized when they do live streams
They get criticized when they don't do live streams.Given those two options I would probably choose option 2 also.
-
@Dolenz64_XBL I always like the live streams
-
There tons of other ways than live streams. Never was a fan of them having livestreams an hour before a big content drop. Seemed anticlimactic. Just seemed in years past there was more of a social media presence. It kind of feels now it’s them saying to their team,” Let’s just get through the year”

I am waiting to see who is inside of packs, because there are probably going to be a few big boys. I think Skenes, Henderson, Witt, and Ohtani are going to be some of the pack/collection rewards. I have Julio Rodriguez HRD and am thinking about selling it to get to 400k. I don't want to be wrong though and have a captain pitcher come out for ASG/HRD/All-Star cards that boosts the contact up on that card and the price goes through the rough.

Updated the first post with the American League Cards

Another Skubal that is worse than his s1 card and Riley Greene in a pack or something? Sigh.

Ugh. Super disappointed in AL picks. As a Sox fan I'd rather Duran. Houck is unusable for me. I guess I just want Crochet and Soto (even if he is a Yankee).
NL is stacked though.
Don't we already have the 95 SA Houck? Interested to see, if any, the difference between the two.
We also have an SA Duran.
-
Yeah we could definitely use a new Devers. Not sure if him pulling out affected SDS at all.

Honestly, depending on the fielding attribute if these cards, his Captain card may suffice.
-
My initial reaction to most of the all-star team affinity cards is underwhelmed and too many duplicates of cards already released. Prime example as a tigers fan skubal already has a 99 and Greene doesn’t have a diamond card. So they release a 95 skubal instead of Greene and now the only way Greene gets a great card here is if he somehow wins the mvp of the game which is highly unlikely.
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN I'm hoping that Greene is a lower tier collection reward or something.
If he's ignored completely while Skubal already had a 99, man, I dunno....
-
I hope so, but I’m not counting on it. Just discouraging how blah most of these cards are which I’m sure is by design. SDS has a certain number of pitchers they need to have and they clearly don’t care about duplicates. Plus it pushes people to play online and/or spend stubs on premium packs and ranked, BR, and event rewards. The directive this year is loud and clear and it’s a gut punch for long time players of this franchise.

If he has a decent showing in the AS game, he'll probably be in the AS pack coming Tuesday which is gonna be in the show shop and the AS Collection rewards...and probably in the conquest and programs somewhere

So Skenes is the NL starting pitcher just announced. Im sure SDS will have his card locked behind a nice expensive pack
