Looks like the next Set is the Summer Series - Card reveals here
-
Top round should be Brett, Greenberg, Ryno and Perry
Brock and Astro Tucker in mid round along with Greene and Torre.
Everyone else base.Castro will still play just fine as 94, give the legends and all star caliber players more stats. Rarity is going to drive stub costs so SDS still gets their money.
-
I will say this, with Lou Brock, Ozzie Smith and Willie McGee on my theme team the CPU catchers are in trouble.
Top 10 Cardinals by overall
- 1 Program Reward - Carp (making the Carp Cap card useless)
- 1 Collection Reward - Pujols
- 8 Pack Cards (Berkman, Wetherholt, Blaze Jordan, Simmons, Brock, Gibson, Romero, Pendleton)
If I am reluctant to buy next year you are looking at one of the reasons.

@Teak2112_MLBTS I second this even tho we know it won’t happen.
-
Here is a post I saw on Reddit of the Pack cards. SDS has not posted it so I can't verify it but I have a tendency to believe it is true because it shows Lou Brock in a pack.
How does a pitcher, that hasnt thrown a single pitch all season, get a 96 OVR card?
-
@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN because he’s gonna make them money he’s probably gonna be a stud will have outlier.
-
How do we know Castro isn’t the collection reward?
-
Where did you see this?
-
Rob Dibble is the collection reward.
-
At least the first collection reward. Hard to believe this would be the final
-
They showed Ted Williams in the trailer. I'm guessing he will be the final collection reward.

I still dont understand why the program is only 5 cards. Even if they just drop some more relievers and lesser named players to pad out theme teams. Not sure why guys like Brazoban (who is one of the few players that was shafted from a WBC he absolutely earned) or Raley can't get a relief card for instance.

@rubicante23_PSN I’d love a 6 inning online mode where you pick a team and can only use players from that team. Give teams boosts based on how good that teams cards in the game are. Better yet, balance your [censored] game between teams.
I just thought of something that might be fun. A mode or event where you can only use players from one team but can only play a team one time until you are through the entire major league. A team gets X'd out when you use them. For instance, say you use the Yankees the first game. You can't use them again until all the other teams have been used. This would probably need to be a mode or event used after the all star break to make sure every team has sufficient cards.

[censored], Brett a rare round likely. Won't see him but I'll get all those 94's like 6 times each.

The final collection is indeed Ted Willams

@Dolenz_PSN at least this might (?) make the old Ted go down? Probably not though, lol

@D_e_m_I_s_E_MLBTS yeah, that sounds fine - there just needs to be something to require people to obtain and utilize other cards.
But, they never do these kinds of restrictions on cards you can use - theyre always very broad with any restriction, even in events. Which basically just ends up being "just keep using all the same dudes as always".
If you have tighter restrictions, a million people will be in here yelling "stop telling me what cards to use! I only wanna use my p5 Ketel...dont tell me what to do!"

I think this is exactly what happened. They used to have fun (in my opinion) events with more restrictions, but everyone complained about not being able to use certain cards so we're left with what we got now.

They did it with cityscapes Bautista and he hasn't pitched in 2 years.

It's Skubal, which gives me some hope that this Ted Williams might be attainable.
