@LukeTheDuke1515_MLBTS said in Team Affinity Card reveals for Aug 29th:
How could they screw up and still not give teams with only hitting captains another position player? It’s insanity
It's just downright lazy to be honest.
-
I am not sure I would call it lazy. Poor planning maybe but I think that it probably takes more effort to not have both hitting and pitching captains for every team. Because now they have to keep track of who has what and maintain two different sets of boosts based on whether a team has both captains.

Ok fair enough, maybe lazy was a bit harsh, just frustrated is all.

The AL East had me a little excited until the AL Central was revealed.
To me, this looks like SDS saw us complaining about TA and threw together a program as quickly as possible without any real plan.
I'll hold my judgement until the other divisions are released, but so far I'm a little concerned.
-
I know that every man garbage is an another man's treasure, but I sure won't lose time grinding hard to get the AL Central Neon cards...
-
@Dolenz_PSN pretty sure Isbel is a CF, not a catcher. Autocorrect?
-
@Victoryphoenix_MLBTS Your post is a reminder that for whatever reason the show year after year neglects 1990’s NL players…Sabo & Rijo as you mentioned, But also isn’t it weird that they have never brought the Pirates outfield into the game? Andy Van Slyke, Bobby Bonilla, Barry Bonds?

You are correct. It was a mistake on my part. Can't even blame autocorrect.
-
@Dolenz_PSN well, I know there’s an OF on the Royals with C secondary, but 99.9% sure it wasn’t Isbel!

I have a problem with Bazzana, Jenkins and McGonigle. We can't find anyone in the Guardians, Twins, or Tigers franchise history would could be TA rewards? We have to resort to prospects with 0% Major League experience?!?
Doby for the Guardians
Killebrew for the Twins
Newhouser for the TigersDone.
-
@SaveFarris_PSN Agreed. Of course McConigle should be better at this stage than Trammell. It only makes sense. Will probably have better stats than Judge while they are at it.
-
Its weird. We know the next TA round will be Finest. The prior was All star.
It is extremely unlikely we see anything else in TA, so why isn't this round all legends?
-
@Dolenz_PSN Bring on Lance Parrish or Bill Freehan for the Tigers!

What makes you think finest will be nothing more than a voucher exchange like all-star was with no real incentive to use most of the cards?

@P0pa-Cherry_XBL The last thing a Padres theme team needs is another reliever, but that is the predictable choice. I want a 99 Gwynn. I could see Ozzie Smith because SDS has zero imagination and loves recycling.

Updated the first post with the AL West cards
Astros - Berkman
Mariners - Colt Emerson
Angels - Logan O'Hoppe
Rangers - Rafael Palmeiro
A's - Tyler SoderstromI think it is safe to say at this point that no team is getting a Pitcher.
-
They misspelled "Jeff Bagwell"
-
I don't know what is worse, your late season offensive captain having 0 major league experience or a .264 obp.
O'Hoppe should provide a -5 to everyone's vision and discipline

Yeah, this is the third Berkman Astros card that is better than the single version of Bagwell.
-
I know we haven't seen the stats yet for these cards but at the moment I can't see any of them as a upgrade.
But free cards are free cards.
