    @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.

    3B - Top 5 by Meta Score
    Rank	OVR	Player		Team	Series		Meta
    1	99	Chipper Jones	ATL	Milestone	106.3
    2	99	José Ramírez	CLE	2025 Finest	106.15
    3	99	David Wright	NYM	Signature	105.4
    4	99	Nolan Arenado	COL	Finest		105.2
    5	99	Ernie Clement	TOR	2025 Postseason	104.05
    

    Just looking at the offensive attributes the top 5 3B are:

    Rank	OVR	Player			Team	Series		Bats	Meta	Offensive Meta
    1	99	Junior Caminero		TB	2025 Finest	R	101.4	120.6
    2	99	Harmon Killebrew	MIN	Spooky		R	99.9	119.4
    3	99	Chipper Jones		ATL	Milestone	S	106.3	118.34
    4	99	Nolan Arenado		COL	Finest		R	105.2	115.82
    5	99	José Ramírez		CLE	2025 Finest	S	106.15	115.7
    

    And a direct comparison

    Lol still can’t believe a pennant race offline grinder actually thought the community needed him to create a new and better ranking system called “The Meta score” 🤓 and then provide no scores for swings the only thing that determines if something is meta or not. People can read the stats and add them together bro, your algorithm is literally addition followed by division 🤣🤣

    You're right. He is a presumptuous idiot.
    We should both block him and be done with his nonsense.

    Almost as bad as someone negatively commenting on how someone enjoys their playing time.

    Probably has done more for this community than you.

    Unless you count the number of negative posts.

    Queue the "assumption" in 3..... 2..... 1.....
