Future stars is a joke

And yet when it comes out most of you will have them in your lineups.

Better versions of players who have done nothing at the MLB level to warrant them, to devalue both their own existing cards as well as LS cards.
So you hate all the Face of Franchise cards?

This board for years complains about how everyone’s team is loaded with the same legends
SDS releases better versions of current players cards to increase variability in teams and this board now complains about that.
This fanbase is toxic.
It’s just a poor choice for content and a lot of people are just sick of the constant disappointments so far this year. We all had high expectations for this year after 19. Content has been meh and gameplay is awful.
How much cooler would it have been if we had a bunch of Flashback cards from established players?
AS Zobrist, Postseason Schwarber, Breakout Trienen, Veteran Dozier, Rookie Trae Turner as examples. At least there’s still hope for cards like that with TAs.
-
I actually kind of like the prospect idea because they have to come up with 2 more themes for the summer and the fall. They can make all of the prospect cards now like 90-93 and then for summer they can make flashback of cards that are like 95-97. Rising stars are going to be like second or third year players who could have a bright future like Eloy Jimenez or Yordan Alverez

I play NBA 2K as well and there is a game that is nowhere near reality when it comes to the cards they release. It just seems like SDS is following along. I would much rather play with cards that have realistic stats instead of this fantasy land garbage.

It’s more fun using cards of a player’s best season and seeing the actual topps cards, rather than some cards with made up attributes and artwork done by some intern in the studio.

If we are going full fantasy land juice up established players that have proven themselves. Make Brett Gardner a 95, give judge 100 vision. Who ever the fan favorites are just put the cards on steroids. Why are we making unproven prospects rated as high as mike trout, it’s ridiculous. All the talk about the three year average and player ratings blah blah blah, then they come out with this [censored]. Live series cards are 100% worthless and that’s a shame

I don't "hate" any cards, but at least FotF cards are players who have actually played in MLB and put up some numbers...but I'm sure Madrigal will be better than Gallo, no doubt.
-
With 100 years of baseball history, why do we need mega-turbo cards of guys who never played a game in the bigs?
Makes zero sense.
SDS --- please end this nonsense forever. Drop these prospect and future cards and never, ever bring them back.
Ever.

This is one of the reasons why I miss 17 so much. You could actually take the field with a team of live series players and compete. Guys like Trout, Harper, Bryant, Lindor, etc. They were usable!
Now the best player in the MLB, who is already a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer, and could very well go down as the greatest player of all time, sits at a 95 OVR. He’ll probably get a better card (e.g., a 99 Signature Series or something), but that’s completely stupid because he’s never been better. That’s why these fantasy cards [censored] me off. They pretty much make live series/single season cards useless.
-
Live Series were usable in previous installments during the season with Inside Edge. I think Live Series stats are somewhat nerfed due to this, however the Live Series is obviously stagnant this year.

Maybe next month they can put out a 99 future legend card
off topic but we are PSN friends and I have no idea who you are. Lol.

Still waiting for Alex Reyes to prove he was worth that 88 or Kyle Tucker if you remember his future stars oh and don't forget everyones favorite rookie of the year future hall of famer Andrew Benintendi and his 95 because he is clearly ever going to be on equal footing with trout in a category other than fly balls to the noggin
-
Since we are making cards up, can I get a JD Martinez with Diamond Fielding?
-
I mean, if they didn't do this, you would all complain that every lineup looks the same. You would say that you're tired of facing the same guys over and over, and you wish there had been more variety.
Don't believe me? Scan the forums for people complaining about facing Kluber on repeat. Ya'll hate everything. Maybe tomorrow you'll complain that SDS is still using the ps4 controller in 2020.

There are too many players to draw from in mlb history to do this fantasy land [censored]. Single seasons bests from literally anyone but unproven prospects. They are basically CAPs by sds, zero basis in reality. And we just did this w prospects and this is waaaaay worse. Is it that hard to grasp there little buddy?

THIS NEW CARD SHOULD BE A GAVIN LUX. Future stars should be guys that have had some big league time or are right there about to get the call up. They gave Madrigal the PROSPECT card for a reason so he shouldn't even have been considered for a future stars card. If they were thinking of a second baseman for the first Future Stars card, then Gavin Lux is the perfect fit.
