Your Card reveals and teases for Season 3
-
@Cubsfan217_XBL I think Team Affinity might just be a bad way to do this. Some of them make sense, like Cronenworth as a pitcher because he was a 2 way player at the professional level. Not sure if they are all warranted, so making one for every team might not have been the best idea.

There could have been a clever way to do this, as I pointed out earlier.
This is just dumb.
Although they did do us a favor by calling it the Out of Position series. We can now call them OOPs.
I used to work at school district where teachers were referred to the Office of Professional Standards if you broke a rule and were going to face discipline. So they liked to say that if you make an "oopsy" then you'll be referred to "OOPS."

Here are the NL Cards. I believe Masyn Winn was a two way player before he was drafted. With his huge arm (100 MPH throws from SS) I would hope he has an outlier FB.
-
I want to see the cornerstone captains!
-
Not as egregious as the AL (Nola, Sabathia, deGrom, Jansen, Dontrelle, Gallen shown batting) and the out-of-positions at least make sense (Harper, Jansen, Skenes being former catchers).
But it's still dumb overall.

Hey, what do you know. ANOTHER (4th) Paul Skenes. This time though he's Oops and a 95.
But yet only one Mantle and one Cobb.

Oh i agree, bad idea

Wth, they bring Jake as a DH

At least DeGrom was a shortstop in college. Bryce played catcher in Jr. college. Any of these other cards even remotely resemble a position they played at one time? I get that it's "OOP", but wondering if any of you know if these guys actually played their new assigned position...
Oh - and looks like Skenes played catcher in high school @SaveFarris_PSN
CC played football in high school, so he used to hit other players. DH makes sense.
Blackmon pitched in college, but looks like he was a starter.
Jansen was signed by the Dodgers as a catcher.
Maysn pitched in high school.
OK - that's enough Wikipedia for the afternoon.

What in the actual F. Is there a woman in charge of content? First, we put a woman in a men's sport. Not sexist, I assure you. But really? Second,, power creep that was given no thought towards how it might play. Third,, XP max out so that we are fair to everyone? Yea. Okay. Now this garbage? Whoever is in charge of content might want to give thought to another career path. This entire game cycle is a flop.
-
Last year, SDS did a few of these cards via TN (Adam Wainwright, Brandon Crawford, Nicky Lopez, few others) and they received a nice reception. An early season program would've worked. An entire TA coming off resetting everyone from their 99s seems like overkill though.
Postseason and finest are right around the corner after this. If this flops hard / gets old quickly, since they started at 95s, they can change course after 1-2 weeks and fire up dem '99s.

Season Awards Drop 1 of Season 4 - Only four cards instead of 5?
-
At least there was some thought put into this. DeGrom is the met pitcher that makes the most sense to give a hitting card too. Then I immediately thought of the other Jake, and checked the Cub card. Sure enough it was him.
I still hate the idea though, ESPECIALLY during pennant chase time. This is serious baseball time, not the time to be doing goofy [censored] like that

Really hard to take you seriously when you start like that.
-
Yay! As a Red Sox fan I had 0 desire to use Kutter Crawford as a SP.
But as a SS? I have -1000 desire.
This is the dumbest bleep I've ever seen.
NBA 2K does this and it's pretty dumb. But at least, for example, Giannis could actually play PG.
But in baseball? Totally absurd. You're pissing off the die hards and good luck if SDS thinks this will bring in more casuals. It won't.
-
Buxton at SP? I mean….put him at an infield position and just call it a bad idea and we will all eventually get over it. But starting pitcher? Wtf
-
We still haven’t seen the cornerstone captains, ranked, event or BR rewards… what the heck are they doing?

SAD 2.1 only had 4 cards as well.

And if those are the program cards,then the pack better include...
-- probably not till next week, but I'm putting in the demand now. -
