Lack of big legends
-
that Pujols card is going to be a MONSTER... people saying that it lacks value because he's not a switch hitter and only plays 1B (but if I recall there were some Pujols cards that had secondary 3B and maybe even LF, I don't know it's been awhile, I don't think I ventured into the trenches of DD heavy since like 23 or 24, I definitely didn't do much with Diamond Dynasty in 25).
If you don't see the value in that Albert Pujols card, because of it lack of positions and the fact that he's not a switch hitter, then you might not be good at this game on a fundamental level... but I'm not going to knock how you put together your team, just don't get mad when some using Albert Pujols hits a no-doubt walk-off HR against you.
-
@jeromesaysword_PSN it is also leaked that the Pujols will have a secondary of 3b and Lf
-
@Onix_Savage22_PSN thanks yeah I just saw the screenshot someone posted here showing 3B as well as LF and RF... so I'm not understanding what people are saying about the card not being good especially as a collection reward
-
@jeromesaysword_PSN I’ve been playing this game since before it was called MLB the Show and I’m a World Series player. No one is saying the card is bad. We’re just saying it’s not worthy of the full collection. It’s not a 3 million+ stub card. He does have the 3B/LF secondaries.

It's not a bad card at all, but why is a returning legend like Pujols who has 700+ career HR barely scraping 100 power on both sides?
If it's going to cost 2M stubs to unlock him, he should and easily could be better.
The last card he ever got in The Show had 125/125 pop with 3B/LF/RF eligibility and was completely FREE.

@SakAttack87_PSN 100% agree with this there are only 4 baseball players ever in the 700 homerun club bonds Aaron Ruth and Pujols it is not that this pujols card is bad it’s that for a player on such a elite club that demonstrates other worldly power him not having 120+ power aginst both sides is just a crime
-
@SakAttack87_PSN because there will be a Pujols or multiple Pujols later in the game that are maxed out at 125... shrugs
-
It reminds me of when they finally added Pedro into the game in 21 and his 99 overall card had like 102 H/9.
-
Maybe its meant to be Angels Pujols and the art is wrong...oh wait no the contact is too high for that

I'm really only picking on the Pujols card because it kinda almost guarantees he's not the main collection and they are gonna drop a bomb on the stream in a few hours.
-
@SakAttack87_PSN I think so too. They’ve revealed a lot and you know they are saving something big.
-
@SakAttack87_PSN rly hope so if not it doesn’t make or break my year still gonna play the game and still as excited as can be
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS People have moved on, but has SDS? They ripped Pucket out of the game mid cycle the year we got him back for old allegations. No Alomar, Lofton…
Alomar, as already discussed, is on the permanently ineligible list.
Lofton WAS in the game, but people didn't use his card because it didn't really meet the meta.The Lofton card was my absolute favorite to hit with. No matter how bad I am I still was able to rake with him. Would love to see him come back.
-
Brutal live collection rewards. We’ve known these cards already. No surprises. Ichiro, Cobb, ARod, Bo Jackson, I won’t even say Bonds. We get Tulo. Jeter is more exciting.
-
Cobb would be a left handed Honus Wagner, without all the position eligibility. 99 speed, 99 bunt. Has the 2nd most hits in MLB history, 1st Hall of Famer, Gets no respect from SDS. Neither does the guy with the most hits or the most HR’s, but that’s a whole other story.
-
@NWOStunna_PSN they all had problems off the field as sad as it is idk if we will ever see them on the game despite them all being some of the greatest baseball players to ever walk the earth
-
In cobb’s case return to the game
