Are Finest Cards meant to be the....finest cards?

@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN As someone with well over 100 P5 cards, believe me when I say i'm not one to use the same cards repeatedly.
I was just expecting better from these cards.

How? If they're not switch hitters with maxed contact/clutch and 100+ vision or outlier pitchers with 90+ control then they're probably not outdoing the meta guys.

@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN How did I think they'd be better? Well, having as good or better attributes than cards released weeks ago would be a start.
Some of these cards wouldn't make most people's best four or five squads, let alone their god squads.
Radical concept, but if you're playing all year to achieve Finest vouchers, the resultant players should be the best of the best.

JRam Finest is arguably best 3b in game, god squad worthy
Cal Raleigh is arguably best offensive catcher in the game with solid d, god squad worthy
Ian Happ is among best LF in the game, god squad worthy.
Trea Turner SS is god squad worthy, especially on higher levels with his vision. Bobby Witt is solid, Francisco Lindor is a switch hitter with a fan-favorite swing, and Colson Montgomery has big power.
Kyle Schwarber is a solid DH.
Cody Bellinger at 1B is a fan favorite with stacked #s.
You make 2/3 of a god squad lineup with those guys.
Are they just supposed to give everyone 125 con, 125 pow, 125 vis, and 99 spd?

But it doesn't need to be a "salary cap mode" - some cards can be obviously better, but if you need the build and use the lower cards in order to make them better, you have a system where everything works together. (Use the lower cards, form theme teams, and that IN TURN improves your best players).
Right now, nothing works together - you've just got 13 spots and 5 pitchers to fill, and that's it.

Then stop disrespecting him. Have you had a look at their stats side by side? Dont tell me Jram has a better swing, Chipper's is amazing. And Chipper can also play left field! What more do you want from him? Not to mention Chipper is 500,000 stubs cheaper -

Just looking at the attributes (ignoring the intangible "swing" preference) it is pretty much a coin flip when comparing all aspects of the card.
