Future Stars
-
I was hoping for some flashbacks, like postseason, allstar, etc. Some future stars is good too but not all but that's just my opinion. I dont really care for prospects. It's cool what we have now but I like playing with the known live players and throwback players.
-
The SDS content team had their work cut out for them on this round. Some teams have one obvious choice for FS (ex: Eloy for the White Sox), other teams have multiple good options to choose from (Bo & Vlad, or Lux & May), but I would say most teams don’t have anyone who would fit nicely between “Prospect” and “current” star. And then there’s the issue of guys like Alonso, whose first year was so good that he’s already a diamond so calling him a “Future Star” card is almost an insult.
Oh well. The SDS content team is the only part of that company that I still have a lot of faith in, so I’m sure they’ll put together something cool.

The Future Stars cards don’t have to be better than the FOTF cards if they take less affinity stars to acquire. The tier 1 prospect cards were awarded at 25 stars and FOTF at 50 stars. The FS cards could be awarded between the 50 star FOTF and whatever the second tier of FOTF cards will be. The FS cards aren’t necessarily the peak stage 2 reward
Also very much this ^
-
I think the 120 will be the future star as if you scroll to 120 on team affinity it states "Stage 2 coming in the future" and all the other say coming soon.
-
Wait... the tweet says they will be ATTAINABLE by this Friday. Affinity stage 2 does not drop until Friday, it can't be stage 2 then, right?

Mets have some interesting prospects, Mauricio, Alvarez, Baty, Allan and Gimenez, but no one that fits in the FS set. We had Tomas Nido last year... lol.
I thought about this too and couldn’t figure out if we had a “future star” or not. Pete’s already a star and I would put McNeil into that category as well. If he’s not then I will gladly take a Flying Squirrel FS card!!! That Nido last year was so disappointing lol

Every year I expect a "movie" event where they drop cards of fictional cards like Wild Thing, Serrano and Jack Elliot (Mr. Baseball).
Nothing would surprise nowMajor League is a Paramount feature. And before you ask, Field of Dreams is Universal.
If we get anyone, it'd be Roy Hobbs and Jimmy Dugan. Surprised Wonderbat isn't a bat skin already.
If we think about it like this...Sony owns Columbia, Columbia put out Little Big League. The Twins play the Mariners, and There’s a character named Randy Johnson (played by Randy Johnson). So, they can put him in the game, and it’ll be the character instead of the player. Sure, nothing works like that, but who cares? The world is already burning.

I dont thinks this is TA stage 2 related. The tweet says 30+ FS. I think this will be a replacement for Topps Now and will included moments and packs. There will be and overall collection with rewards.
I also think the 1st set of will be available to obtain starting today. The tweet said will all be obtainable by THIS FRIDAY and not ON FRIDAY the wording is very specific

I think you’re looking into this too much.
The most obvious answer is usually the correct one.

I went back and looked at old tweets that previewed something and they have never used that language before the always used arrives THIS FRIDAY after the update or arriver around noon the wording is very different
-
i think if it was team affinity related, they would say so
'Future Stars WEEK, attainable by Friday' . Not 'Future Stars coming to TA this Friday'
also its 30+, more than 30

Hey man, I hope you’re right and I’m wrong.
All the evidence points to Stage 2 being future stars though.

I grant that but there some other things that do point somewhere else.
-
The TA preview in game said revevals starting the 21st. FS reveals start today not a major change of plans but would think in game would have been updated
-
The HL Pack for tuesday shows as ****** **** with today's tweet that is clearly Future Star why put that in a HL pack and 30 other in TAs
-
In all of MLB the show FS history I cant think of a card that is higher then 90 and they said the cards in TA will be viable as we go along so to give out another round of 85 to 90 would not make sense.
Yes am I looking into it too much but i truly think this is not part of TA

The 21st is Tuesday, and they said it’s Future Stars week. That still lines up with Stage 2.
-
They’ll probably put somebody from a team with multiple good future star candidates as a headliner, and I think it will be Lux.
-
Vlad Jr. was a 95 last year, but he was the #1 prospect at the time. I do think it would be dumb to make future stars cards be higher than FotF cards, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they do it.
Again, I really, really hope you’re right and I’m wrong lol

I'm hope I am right as well would be fun to see a surprise drop today if I am right

-
Wait Nick Madrigal already has a prospect card. Haha ok then. Hmm
-
I really hope this is wrong, a FS card for TA 2 feels like a step backwards from FotF. To me a legend or flashback is the only logical step forward for TA2. We will see. Reveal for TA2 is supposed to be Tuesday
