    Why are the Yankees getting glazed? They have a 99 at almost every position. They just got Posada because all the fans were crying and now they give them Gary Sanchez? I feel like they should try to make all theme teams useable.

    I actually don't understand how they can be so out of touch with the community and release some of these cards. Like we JUST GOT a 99 Yankees catcher and they immediately release another when there were so many other options available. The Yankees bench at this point is better than several teams best available players meanwhile some teams don't even have decent pitchers. Mega L

    The Tigers just got their first diamond reliever all year lol. A franchise with Kenny Rogers, Fernando Rodney, Todd Jones, etc has one singular diamond reliever. He's a rental acquisition who most likely won't be on the team next year.

    The funny part is they promoted and teased Sanchez as if this is someone that anybody wanted. Seems do out of touch.

    @Teak2112_MLBTS

    Real question: how many actual baseball fans do we think work at SDS?

    The reason I ask is that a lot of obvious cards seem to get missed, even with a limited legend pool, and they seem to miss the mark on a lot of historical details.

    Not saying you need to be a baseball historian to work for SDS but I do feel like most of them don’t even follow baseball and those that do, don’t seem to know much of anything beyond the past decade or so.

    Just my personal opinion as a baseball fanatic myself. What does everyone else think?

    I think the TA path should be used to release cards to try and balance as best they can each team’s rosters. Of course, live stuff will steer towards the hottest teams/players.

    But having vouchers throughout the path in case they don’t want reveals too early and follow the power creep. Teams with less Legends available either because of licensing or lack of historical relevance (Rockies closer??) could have more Flashbacks (active players) to help pad the roster.

    The downside to that would make it more difficult to distribute cards in different programs (Cornerstones, Summer, Moonshot, etc).

    Malice!

    In a single word, if a single word can ever explain something complex, that word is malice. SDS is what society gets when any group of people are allowed to form a monopoly. The pressures for such a group to then become imbued with a sense of self-entitlement is strong, very strong. In fact, it is rare for such a group holding a monopoly to resist such pressures, and even a great many corporations who enjoyed monopoly status, that were owned by men who overall possessed above average integrity and morality, succumbed in some manner to the temptation.

    SDS isn't led by men who any longer carry with them strong senses toward customer service. Instead, they are led by men who believe they hold the monopoly, and we can either buy their game or not, they couldn't care less. They believe they will sell enough units each year to make the necessary minimum annual profit payment to Sony, distributed through Sony Interactive Entertainment, and by that keep their jobs.

    Sony doesn't care whether the customers are happy. Sony only cares to see that they receive their annual profit payment.

    SDS making that margin payment then is free to do what it pleases. Allow their employees free rein to develop what they please to keep them happy then becomes vastly more important than developing what the customers say will make them happy. If happiness is mutually gained, then it is a bonus, but the primary goal was to keep the employees happy, not the customers.

    You see good old fashioned competition keeps this sort of narcissistic mentality firmly out of the board room, because of self-preservation if nothing else. The knowledge that unhappy customers can go elsewhere (to the competition) keeps these sort of me-first concepts at bey.

    You get these cards because they are the cards SDS wants to release. They have the player model already made for the player, so three or four copies of the same player in different cards is less costly than is producing a new card for a player whose model isn't already present in the game. And your employees don't have to work as hard or as long. Your happiness wasn't nearly as important as increased profits and again, if you are unhappy, they don't care, because you have no other MLB licensed baseball video game to choose from!

    Think about this the next time someone tells you state ownership of production is a peachy keen cool concept!

    Free enterprise only exists where competition is present, where the option to start up a competitive business is freely available and freely happening. Until SDS gets that competition handed to them upside their heads, you won't see any improvements in how they operate, and they think you should be gracious they have implemented as many new things as they do, because truthfully, they didn't feel like they had to, not ever!
