    @xsdert34_PSN wrong , unless they have changed it from years ago , legend players are retired standout players , but are defined by stirrup socks , and have been retired for decades

    flashback cards are also retired players , they are generally retired much sooner than the legends, , they will wear ankle hugger pants , cant very well call a player a legend that only retired 5 or 10 years ago , i know some live series players wear ankle hugger's so chill out , obviously if they are still playing they are not FB or legend

    i would safe bet all HOF players are legends

    i would be curious if they allowed flashback players stats to count towards legend missions

    “What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

    Nope. They are right.

    By your definition Adam Dunn would be a flashback, yet his cards are eligible for Legends and Live series mini season.

    As others have said, you are incorrect.

    Within the scope of the game a legend is basically any player who is retired and does not have a live series card. For example, Ryan Ludwick is a Legend in this game. He does not approach that status in real life though.

    adam dunn was a above average player at best , he is no legend , by that standard everyone who is retired is a legend , just another reason this game is screwed , first they dilute 99 rated cards to average at best , now everyone is a legend? even players like adam frigging dunn , and im the dumb one?do you people even remember watching Dunn when he was playing? a legend , now thats rich , i said and i quote unless they changed it " this is what it use to be how i described , like it or not , believe it or not , i really do not care , i know it as a matter of fact

    Translation......

    "Instead of admitting that I was wrong about the definition of legend as it relates to this game I will instead just insult everyone who corrected me".

    Not a single person in this thread tried to say that Adam Dunn was considered a legend in any other context other than how the game defines it.

    I need @savefarris_MLBTS to weigh in, but I thought that "Flashbacks" are active players. The cards recognize a certain achievement. For example, Topps Now and Season Awards are considered Flashbacks.

    Legends are retired players, whether or not we here on the Forum consider them to be "Legends". Again, I'll defer to @savefarris_MLBTS , but I don't think a Legend can also be a Flashback.

    I hope what I just said doesn't elicit a "Billy Madison" quote...

    And... I think Robin Yount belongs to a special class due to his sweet mustache. That reference is specifically for @SchnauzerFace_MLBTS . I miss him terribly on the Forum.

    Ironically, he stated in another thread, that he's in his 60s. Imagine someone in their 60s acting like he acts.

    In mlb the show a legend always has been any retired player,and a flashback always has been a player with a live series.
    The rationale above would make sense if there was an ary at the end, but there isn't. A legend player does not and has never implied legendary player.

    Yes. That is correct exactly.

    Yount has a face that launched 1000 ships in the opposite direction. He's the poor man's Sandra Bernhard and I love that ugly mug so much

    Legends are also retired baseball players no longer actively playing in MLB.

    It's a little more than that. For example, Josh Donaldson is a retired baseball player. However, for The Show purposes, he is not considered a Legend.

    HIs current LS fits the "Captian Card" (Jackie Robinson) boost. I'm 99% sure no one cares...
