    This sort of makes sense. The first level of card you get on affinity is a gold prospect. Then diamond card. Next could be diamond prospect. Then Gold legend should be next. Then maybe diamond Or gold Rookie, followed by a maybe a diamond legend. Then end on a diamond legend and or diamond Finest card.

    So for Yanks we get like Prosepecr Jason Dominguez, gold Rookie Cano, Diamond Posada, Finest Judge.

    There already is a gold Canó.

    There are only 2 more highlighted player thresholds. And I dont believe anyone would be remotely excited to grind for gold cards in a couple months.

    I’m so confused how they could think this is a good idea.

    Release an 86 Madrigal and a 95 Madrigal within the same month?

    are we sure that is what happening ? Cause that would make zero sense

    Yes. Madrigal has an 86 and he’s a headliner this week as a 95.

    Ya a headliner card is not a team affinity 2 card

    The biggest issue i have is having multiple juiced cards for the same players and both cards being released in quick succession

    Everything else is 'ok' as its good to get some different cards to play with. With content, ill give SDS a 'pass' to a certain degree as there plans wouldve been turned upside down with the season not being on. Gameplay on the other hand.....

    I would like to have a poll made, to see what the percentages are that are happy with this.

    The fact that the 120 card always said "Coming in the Future" instead of "Coming soon" like all the others made it a pretty specific tell that this was going to be it, imo. Still not exactly stoked about it when we had all those prospect cards already, one of those times I was hoping to be wrong

    The other funny thing is that they are still releasing Prospect cards (upcoming event), despite everyone knowing that a better card of that player is right around the corner

    Yeah, but this is a slightly better different gold Cano. This one has been evolved slightly, so it’s absolutely fine.

    I just dont get the point of this...maybe its just me but i was hoping for something else...JD Martinez, Stanton and Suarez just to name a few! Because the season is on lock right now and live series cards wont get any boost i was hoping for this but yeah lol im ready to give up an early/okay hr to some dude who never even played in the majors yet

    My point was they are releasing 2 versions of the same player a month apart.

    Yo man, I'm not constantly complaining. This is a monumental L in my opinion though. Giving out 90+ and 95+ diamonds to players that haven't ever even had an at bat, or thrown a single pitch in the majors is insanely dumb.

    Perhaps, I also tire of getting Christy Mathewson or even Ty Cobb. I have a little OCD about my players wearing batting gloves.

    I guess it makes sense given the game history. They have been releasing future star diamonds this early for 2 years now. only difference is now we have prospect diamonds as well.
    I see them filling in the other young stars that have no diamond yet like:
    Yordan Alverez
    Gavin Lux
    Brandon Lowe
    Mike Soroka
    Eloy Jimenez
    Cavan Biggio
    John Means
    Dakota Hudson

    Players like Eloy Jimenez, Yordan Alvarez, and Mike Soroka have had successful seasons in MLB. That's much more believable than randomly assigning 90+ diamonds to players that haven't played a single game.

    You mean like Casey Mize, Jesus Luzardo, and Wander Franco?

    I agree completely. I'm not for any of the prospects being diamond myself... but I can see that being the list they start adding to team affinity.

    I always believed they could do this and satisfy everyone if they just made it restrictive like events. You can play RS minor league and RS major league. Or something like that. give the prospects love, but not on equal playing field as proven major leaguers.
