And we now have 2 pitchers (Fingers and Oswalt)

Tom Seaver...again. Darling, Matlock, El Sid, Koosman,Leiter. Freshen it up guys

[SupremeKai_510_PSN]

@Skarmaen That's what I was thinking as well I usually pick a pitcher first because its a lot easier to get XP using them over other positions.

I was hoping Santana Mets but nope Seaver for the 10000th time

Looks like most are 99 versions of the Live series collection rewards

Could be worse, could be a marlins fan

They get the same guy in 2.1 and 2.2, who isnt even on the team anymore now. They see Sheffield get his 99 for Dodgers last TA and now the ever exciting Lowell

@Dolenz will the jerseys from the cards be in the game when they get released this Friday? For example, the Tigers jersey Tony Clark is wearing, Exposes jersey, Roy Oswalt Astros jersey, etc?

[SaveFarris_PSN]

Possibly: TAs usually include an Unlockables pack set. But we won't know for sure until Friday.

Id expect vault packs again
But then they skimped on giving anything worthwhile for TA2.2 so who knows

Central also has no pitchers and is the grossest division so far in my opinion.

[sbchamps17_NSW]

I guess AL Central and NL Central won't be getting done fast for me this time considering I can't hit with any of those cards and don't want to use them because their swing sucks

[Dolenz_PSN]

First post is updated with NL Central

Johnny Bench
Orlando Cepeda
Ralph Kiner
Ryan Braun
Ryne Sandberg

I would not say it is "gross" even though I was expecting a more notable Cardinals legend. These guys are all pretty iconic for their franchises though. Now maybe they may not be the best cards for competitive play but they are all pretty big names.

Interesting note: So far the two Team Affinity Cardinals legends spent a combined total of 6 seasons with the cardinals (3 each). The other chosen players?

Bench - 17 years a Red
Cepedo - 3 years as a Cardinal (although one was an MVP year)
Kiner - 8 years as a Pirate
Braun - 14 Years as a Brewer
Sandberg 15 years as a Cub

Meanwhile Stan Musial's best card is still an 89 overall. Holliday's Best Cardinal card is an 84. We don't have a single Mcgwire or Edmonds card yet. They have hidden Gibson and Brock in season collections and wasted Smith as a mid reward in a Jason Heyward mini season.

[GoozeFn_PSN]

@Dolenz Yeah, those guys were all great players. I just won’t use any of them which is what I meant by gross. I’ll try someone in every other division so far.

[Skarmaen_MLBTS]

Ryan Braun should be pretty decent. And that's all I have to say about that.

[dbub_PSN]

This whole TA lacks any excitement. There are maybe at most 4 players I'm even remotely interested in:

Big Papi (my favorite player of all time)
Bernie Williams maybe
Roy Oswalt maybe
Ryan Braun maybe

And for once I join Cardinal fans in their misery. Orlando Cepeda? Really? When there's options like McGwire and Musial?

[SakAttack87_PSN]

I am so pumped for a 99 Bernie Williams, but agree it is not overly exciting outside of a few selections. Makes me wish they would kind of flip the script and give us some juiced versions of guys who probably wouldn't otherwise get a stacked card instead of just recycling the same expected Legends.

This would be my mock AL East lineup:

Yankees: 99 Aaron Hicks
Red Sox: 99 Nathan Eovaldi
Orioles: 99 Jonathan Schoop
Blue Jays: 99 J.A. Happ
Rays: 99 Jiman Choi

[Cubsfan217_XBL]

Sweeeet Ryno. Only card ill be interested this point in the games cycle. I actually can hit with his 92 card so look forward to his 99.

Lets just hope they make this grind super easy, im about over all the grinding i can do
