The Final Insult from SDS
-
Reynolds is a brand new card released in basically, September.
Beltran was available since April, if you finished LS. I didn't until July. We can't fault SDS on him being so-called 2nd best, behind the Pirates outfielder. The gatekeeper prices are ridiculous in September, though. That is pretty messed up. -
I wish they would move on from live series collections going forward. Its stale at this point.

I would assume its by far their biggest money maker so I hope they continue it instead of making rewards elsewhere even worse.

@chrisham8380_PSN This is funny. Beltran is arguably the best OF in the game...period. Roger Clemans not top 15? Now you do sound 100% foolish. He's top 3. Randy, and Verlander MS card might be better....might. This post is 1 of 3 things, 1) A troll job, 2) you're drunk or high, 3) You are an uneducated 12 year old. Maybe even all 3.
Ultimately, you're complaining about having to buy cards you won't use....think about that.

Beltran, IMHO, is still the best card in the game. A speedy switch hitting center fielder that hits for power. You can’t really beat that. I have had him since April and he is STILL in my god squad line up. He is just in right field at the moment.

Yup, Beltran in RF, Reynolds in CF, Ted Williams in LF

Beltran is still the best card in the game. His attributes don't look insane necessarily but he plays way up. Clemens is still a top 5 starting pitcher. HOWEVER, you are right, SDS is being very stingy indeed with keeping Live Series prices sky-high.

Someone explain this to me. SDS is still gatekeeping some of the best Live Series cards, like Aaron Judge.
Imagine if they gave everyone a free Aaron Judge LS in the 7th Inning Reward path.
How many torches and pitchforks would be raised from everyone who acquired him earlier?
-
I was finally able to pull Judge playing Conquest, Neon series and Multiplayer Events. Im just waiting in Ohtani for another 6 months Lol
-
SDS also does not have direct control over market prices. They will sometimes up the supply of high diamond live series cards with flash sales, but otherwise, the market is just supply and demand.

He may very well still be the best performing player in the game (I won't dispute that) but when it comes to just looking at his attributes some of the other CF options have him beat. But of those only Bernie Williams is also a switch hitter
Bernie has better contact, Vis, disc and Clt
Beltran has better power, all fielding attributes, and all Baserunning attributes.So it's understandable if someone has not used all of these cards that they could come to the conclusion that Beltran has been surpassed. Especially when you look and see that Bernie can be purchased for under 100K and just Judge and Ohtani alone can cost over 700K if you are not lucky enough to pull them

Technically for that 700K; you get way more than Beltran.

True but assuming you have everything else but those cards it will net you
91 Darren O'Day
93 Chase Headly
99 Gil Hodges
99 Roger Clemens
99 BeltranIn the end I guess it boils down to how much you want those players too.
-
Honestly, not sure why people care so much at this point. There are a lot of dumb cards in the game now that have no business existing, like the Reynolds card. Cards like that belong in November, not August.
And Bautista and Schwarber fantasyland cards were in like mid July. Those players do not remotely deserve cards that good so early.
-
Flash sale on high diamond live cards today — should bring prices down a bit.

Ironically, 2 of them have "better" versions available.

@chrisham8380_PSN I agree with most of what you said except for the fact that the rewards were known before you spent 400k. If you didn't want the rewards, and are unhappy with them, why did you buy Judge? I agree that the live series is still WAY too expensive, but it is also almost completely irrelevant, so its cost doesn't matter overly much. You can get much better cards for a fraction of the price.
-
So if you’re aware of how ‘useless’ these cards are , why in the world did you lock them into collections?
I have no motivation to do live series at this point. Better cards in programs and market. At least comparable ones. Far less pricey too
