New cards for 7/12
-
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.

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

Or the collection reward..
-
@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN nah they will make us pay for him im sure
-
At this stage of the game anyone who does not believe that the most desirable All-Star Cards (Judge, Ohtani, Harper) will be in some type of expensive all star pack is just fooling themselves.

Do think that they all get a card of some kind?
I could see someone like Ozuna getting a HRD card and not a regular one.
I see some of the relievers and pitchers not getting cards, especially if they don't get in the game.Also, as an aside, I did read that the Mariners planned starters has Gilbert scheduled for Sunday, which would make him unavailable.

Just posted on Twitter Skenes 99 is one of the 5 collection rewards.
