Just a travesty…
-
I mentioned before it's actually the one and only reason I am not playing right now. I can't stand the OOP cards and since I like to play ranked (and BR, where the cards also pop up) I'm not engaged. Don't know if I'll come back later for Finest because I'll be quite far behind, but I might. For right now, I can't get into the game. If I get the itch really badly I'll take live series into ranked but I'm enjoying topps bunt right now so I'm good. I hope someone at SDS notices that the OOP card series is so trash that I've moved on to a card-collecting app with no regrets, and that's sad considering The Show is a proper video game.

I haven't logged into the game in 3 weeks. I was never a fan of sets or seasons but OOP killed it for me. Lost all motivation to play after grinding TAs. Stupid cards and concept i finally had enough. I might come back for Season 4 but i dunno. I don't miss the game all that much

There has been been a lot of things about this game that I’ve had good reason to complain about since 2006, as well as a lot of reasons to keep me coming back every year, but I have to say that the Out Of Position series is literally the most offensive thing that has ever happened to me. I cannot for the life of me figure out the logic behind it. I can only assume that it is meant as a personal attack on me and mine. I understand that that may seem a little paranoid but tell me, what am I to think? Anyway, I call for the developer responsible for its creation to show himself or herself. You have some serious explaining to do.
This is not only paranoid and delusional thinking, it's also wildly inaccurate. It is abundantly clear that the OOP series was created as a personal attack on me, not on you. What a narcissist.

A rough year for you all around. First, the White Sox brutally attack you with their so-called "baseball team", and now SDS.
Ah, how I long for the days of TA7...

If you still long for TA7, I think his schedule is pretty much wide open these days. You could probably hire him for birthday parties or to be your Uber driver.

Even the fact that I enjoy this game is part of the conspiracy to ruin your gaming experience.

Love oop. Keep it coming.

As a casuel madden player, just be grateful that there isnt a babe ruth card with 125 speed and stealing

This one is getting bookmarked.

I liked the OOP concept for a short bit. It is a nice try to spotlight players at positions they actually played, but I would not pay for OOP packs or cards in the market. I still use Machado and Blackmon in my bullpen, and just put Big Mac in because of his high stamina. 40+ isn't bad, and hard to find.
I commend them for trying, though. -

I commend them for trying, though.It WOULD be cool if that’s what it was but I’m pretty sure Kanley Jansen is the only player in that series that actually played his OOP position. I could be wrong. But I doubt it
-
@justhomass_PSN It’s not. I’ve enjoyed them. I’d rather them be early in the game cycle and not end game cards, but it’s a fun way to give us something different with a limited legends pool. It’s also a good way to give us more usable relievers.
-
@justhomass_PSN You are absolutely wrong. Trevor Hoffman was drafted as a Shortstop. Most if not all of those guys played those positions at some point.
-
Kenley Jansen as a catcher is my favorite out of position. That 99 arm and accuracy is why I like him, oh and switch hitting
-
OOP would have been fine in may. Id rather September highlight actual baseball more as its a great time to celebrate seasonal milestones and past playoff races.
The current program is great at least
-
@Dookie-Possum_XBL He also has the pop time quirk which is huge for catchers throwing out base runners and not a lot of good catchers have it.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS I agree with that. At least they did it to start the season. Would have been better nearer launch though.

Bryce Harper was drafted as a catcher but the Nationals switched him to outfield after he was drafted

Mark McGwire was a starting pitcher alongside Randy Johnson at USC in the early 1980's, Jake Cronenworth was a relief pitcher with the Tampa Rays both in their minor league system and in the majors, Kenley Jansen was a catcher with the Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic in 2013, I believe, and the Los Angeles Dodgers farm system, before switching to relief pitching just about a year later, and Masyn Winn was a starting pitcher in high school and his first year in the minors for the St. Louis Cardinals before devoting all his time to playing shortstop, his other natural position, as he was drafted as a two-way player several years back. There are perhaps eight players that are legit in "The OOP Program," in their secondary positions; the rest are reaches or all-out misses. This was a decent program that I don't want to see again.
