What Needs to Improve for MLB The Show 26 Diamond Dynasty

The release of the cards and the ramp up, in my opinion, is always going to be an issue and I doubt that there is an easy fix.
In my opinion some of the Legends and HOFers should always be near the top, but using the ramp up method that would mean waiting to get 99s of those legend until like November, after Finest are released. Or else we come up with these situations.
At first glance I accept the power and contact ratings until you look a little closer at the numbers. Musial's card lists his MVP year of 1948
- Musial batted .376 and deserves those 125s but should Caminero be as close as he is hitting .264?
- In what world does Caminero get the higher attributes in Vision and Discipline considering walk and strikeout numbers?
- Stan batted .426 with RISP. Caminero batted .270. Do they deserve the same clutch?
I just don't think there is an easy fix based on the players expectations that cards get better the later into the year we get. The early 99s are always going to be weaker even though, in this case, Stan was released just a few weeks before the Finest cards.

I think I just wanted an excuse to have AI code an app that allows me to directly compare players stats across decades.

I want a mode that forces us to use live series players only. The only purpose is for collections and getting special players/cards. But once we get collections, live series are irrelevant.

@Rubbaneck34_XBL I agree to an extent with you. Most are irrelevant once collections are done or the game advances a bit past the launch cycle. I don’t play much online though so I actually made it a point last year to P5 as many LS cards I wanted to. I think I did around 30 or more. I have fun playing as those cards and hoping they diamond in a roster update. This year, however, I’ve already decided to use the best cards and not worry as much about trying to use LS, just as a switch up from last year. You have a great point.

I personally don't like using generic placeholders, which is what I feel live series are. Im all for them getting buffs in specific events though
That said, the Topps designs the last few years have been quite lackluster and I've felt uninspired by the look of live series. This year's design is pretty good

Go tell that to everyone that trashed 2023 for Kaiju cards

@Teak2112_MLBTS No, you do that. No time for lessons

It wasnt the design of Kaiju cards that people didnt like. It was friggin Mothra flying around in the outfield during a mini seasons game.

Give me Kaiju cards , give me incognito cards ( this series could be rebranded though ) . Low iq players trash anything anyways so just give us more content.

Keep Team Affinity Team based, I don't want to do anything for any other NL central teams. I loved team affinity this year.
