Your Card reveals and teases for Season 3

@DoIHearBossMusic_PSN said in Your Card reveals and teases for Season 3:

@Dolenz_PSN They have such a terrible model. They release the best cards in late fall and winter when no one is playing in HOPES that it will bring in players. But better cards wont bring in players on a dead game at that phase. They would beef up their early and mid season numbers with better cards

They release the best cards in October/November because thats when they should be released. Power creep is generally a good thing to keep players playing, and people like the feel of progression in general (which is a large reason why they hate seasons as it undoes progression)

I really doubt they bank on the cards drawing many people back that late in the season, although they probably do get back a few of the madden crowd.

Why would they refuse to show the bottom of these cards?

A guess that's probably wrong, but why not:
The series is called "Stadium Club" with a picture of the home stadium on the bottom of the card.

Behold my terrible mspaint prototype:

I wouldn't mind that, I think that they should show what stadium that they played at in their career

That also allows for the eventuality of the secondary cards (Headliners, Ranked, Collection, etc). In this specific case, you could have Nolan repping the Astrodome and someone like Biggio repping Enron/Minute Maid.

I think these card are out of position cards so they cant show the bottom half. Cant wait for catcher Machado

SaveFarris_PSN

I love the concept. But if you're doing that, there's better ways.

Ericulous1_PSN

Yep it’s the out of position thing. Ugh, I really don’t see the point in this.

SaveFarris_PSN

If it really is, there are SOOOO many ways to do this better.

For example...

Roy Oswalt: Left Fielder

Nolan Ryan: Right Fielder

Anthony Rizzo: Relief Pitcher

GoozeFn_PSN

@SaveFarris_PSN Will Farrell at every position.

Dolenz_PSN

Yeah, I am not sold on the out of position TA.

For those who want to know how we come to this conclusion. The card reveals are missing positions and the Conquest map has all of the teams "out of position". Then they posted this to twitter

We may not get any more TA reveals than that if they are trying to be coy about this out of position nonsense.

There are still Season Awards, Ranked, BR and Events rewards they could tease.

Unless somehow they are also all tied in to the OOP nonsense.

I could understand it if it were for players who swapped positions in minors but from what I can see Heim has always been a catcher

This significantly reduces my desire to play season 3 if these are our early season options. I have no desire to hit with Nolan Ryan or pitch with mcgwire. Very strong chance I have played my last game of The Show this year and I was actually excited for the game again recently.

From an early age, Halladay loved baseball, trying every position on the field until, by age 14, his success on the pitcher's mound attracted the attention of major league scouts.

So, I guess we're going to use the teenage version of Halladay.

XxDeathReyxX_PSN

Hate the out of position thing. Hated it in Madden too.

Teak2112_MLBTS

Imagine being a Nats fan and finally getting a Harper card (his best year was with the Nats)...and its something stupid like a closer.

I bet to upset the Cardinals fans here even more you get your Stan musial but with a 2 seamer, curve, and 12-6 curve only

Not going to hold back here, if this is true this is just a terrible, terrible idea. You can't have sets and seasons and institute something like this. This might be tied to SDS having such a limited pool of players. You can't keep running out as much content as they have without mixing things up. If this really is a thing I have lost just about all desire to play this game.
