Squads This Year
-
@AdeptOfMemory_PSN I’ve tinkered around with most of them except for the team captains I don’t have. Not sure why we still don’t have more than half of those at this point in the year, but I won’t beat that dead horse.
I’ve used a lot of Santana and Cruz. The Rockies, Yankees, Dbacks and Padres can put together a good squad. It really depends on what cards you have though. If you have them all, most of the captains are viable. It also depends on who you play well with too.
What I’ve been doing is using certain captains depending on who I’m pitching in the game. When Randy Johnson is on the mound, I do a DBacks theme team. I tried out the new Darvish with a Padres theme team. It’s not usually a full theme team build either. Usually just the minimum with the best of those teams and fill in the rest with the hall of fame cards that don’t need a boost like Hank etc.
-
The D-backs and (surprisingly) the A's both have pretty decent theme team options. I don't think I've ever created a theme team using one of the Cornerstone captains (I've used that 87 Carroll quite a bit, but not as a captain).
-
@SchnauzerFace_MLBTS Cruz works well with the Padres pitching captain because they both fit a few of the best Padres including Gwynn which gets his power over 100. A lot more team builds will work in season 4 without restrictions.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN padres probably is pretty good if you have all wildcards available. I like many of the padres pitchers I just feel like S4 will be the best time for these builds
-
@AdeptOfMemory_PSN Definitely. The Padres build worked better last season. This season the Rockies seems best with Bichette, Castillo, Blackmon and the OOP pitchers if we’re talking theme team.

I've only used Santana boost but now there's so many non switch cards that I'd like to use that I'm not using one

It's been very frustrating going into ranked games with a 86+ rated squad when everyone else is rocking 97+.
If you had spent half as much time actually playing the game as you do complaining about it, you could have been "rocking 97+" too.

I tried Santana and just didn't catch on for me. i can see how it became super meta

@AdeptOfMemory_PSN The boost isn’t much, but he’s one that I actually want to use. He has a great swing.

C posada
DH polanco
1b santana
3b chipper
SS rollins
2b ketel
RF santander
Cf/lf I forgotBut at the time most of those players where who I'd want to use anyway
I think I was actually using tatis somewhere as my one non switch guy
