Upcoming Inning Boss, WC and WS reward guesses
-
Wondering what everyone thinks the 6 new main cards we are getting will be. I feel like we are due for a 99 randy but he was an inning boss already and a WC reward last year. Maybe too good for a ranked reward? New chipper is due to drop but maybe he’s a collection reward, and with all the pipeline 3b switch hitting options, it dosent seem like the right spot for him. Those are the two I’m most excited to get on the team and of course John don. I wonder if they will make him more accessible this year after being a crazy collection reward last year. Maybe one of the 6 is kershaw or a new Andrew miller?

Babe Ruth since the first one is wildly overpriced and it's easier to fit him into the earlier 99s because he's slow and not the greatest fielding stats. I'm guessing that's why they're holding off on updated Negro League series because so many of those guys are five-tool players with good+ power. Has Pedro gotten a card since his 88? If not, he's overdue. Randy is possible too.
-
Feels like its time for the 99 Griffey.
-
Hopefully it is legends. We have a window until the Post season starts where they could focus on Legends.
-
It better be Negro League players.
-
Yeah, a 99 Gibson and/or Mackey would be amazing.
-
Such a waste that there are 4 'big' cards for online play each inning yet 0 for offline play.
Would be a good place to put the guys like Tony Gwynn that online players don't want anyway.
Or just make it the same guys but give some excitement for offline players each inning.I have enjoyed the last few weeks but I think every single one of my longer gaps in play the last two years has started with an inning release.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS why would online players not want a fan favorite like Gwynn? You get players from conquest and mini seasons that online players can’t get from playing online. Multiplayer Cards have very little value unless you can get them quickly.

Probably referring to the fact that he isn't a switch hitter and wouldn't have huge power numbers. The competitive types want those Carlos Beltran near-maxed out everything cards.
-
@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN I get that but he is the me of the better hitters in the game, nice swing, he will be fast enough and will have great defensive stats.

Replace Gwynn with Mike Scmidt then.
The main issue is that inning drops are typically a content drought for offline players which is the exact opposite of what they should be.
When a new season starts in 2K it comes with a new domination, and new reward tracks for their other offline modes. More content than any sane person will be able to actually finish. When a new inning comes in the show it includes general content that can be done typically in 2 games (spotlight) or so and maybe some moments to finish the cornerstone.
Of course, 2K typically removes all old content (which is one of the two reasons Im not buying this years game, with forced cheap difficulty being the other) and at least The Show has the option of running old mini seasons or conquests, but innings should be filled with new things to do instead of 'wait a week for the first real content drop'
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS take Tony Gwynn. I’m already pissed they took Mike out the game. All content is when you just grind away. People also try to take mini season which is 28 games to 7 just to get rewards quicker. They probably expect most people to casually grind rather than this being the only game you play.
-
I would love a 99 Delgado, or a 99 Willie Mays
-
Perfect time to release negro league players.
-
Feels like its time for the 99 Griffey.
Yes please!
-
7th inning drop hint is ***** ******* (5-7). Randy Johnson would fall into that.
-
@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN do u think they make Randy an inning boss for a second time this year ? I can’t see that. His 99 will probably be a chase wc or last l&f collection.
-
@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN I thought Jimmy Rollins
-
@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN I was thinking Manny Ramirez fits that 5 and 7. Give him a Red Sox card maybe? Maybe a Silver Slugger awards card or World Series MVP?

@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN Manny Ramirez
