At least the guys from the 1920’s earned their ratings
So everyone's Create A Player on their DD squad earned their MLB ratings?
To be fair, a lot of us hate CAPs too. I've never made one.
Yup same here. I don't hate them I just don't ever utilize one.

@genopolanco said in Headliner Packs 14-43:
What if they released even higher FOTF cards instead. Like a 93 Suarez? Think he’s ever been better than Mike Schmidt?
You still have to be realistic with them releasing multiple cards of the same player. They have to balance it some how otherwise you get the same lineups.
The problem here is they artificial lower overalls on season cards to make the eventual SS look better.

In theory they are an amazing idea. Someone can make a version of themselves to play alongside all time greats. They can create legends that arent represented. They can create a better version of modern players that may be their favorite player.
As it is, people just use them to find the most glitchy way of making players, and attach some stupid/immature/hilarious/political/inside joke/character name.

I agree. Same with Live Series. But they did the same thing last year. So why did you expect it to be different?

yeah screw SDS for giving us free good diamonds we can grind for and are a part of our favorite teams farm system that eventually will be a part of the teams future.

If they were actual top prospects of every team and rated a little more properly based on the cards we have either worked hard to get or spend a lot on, not be rendered useless then sure.. but most of these are not top prospects at all and are better than very expensive cards

Who cares? Its a video game and they are free to acquire. Its April. This years game is a no money spent dream for team building.

Lots of people care.. everyone knows it's a video game... Some have better expectations on their experience.. some care about accurate content. And some love baseball and want an accurate representation of their favorite sport...

Nick Madrigal should never be “predicted” to be a 95. Kevin Smith will never be close to a 90. Check back in 4-5 years and I guarantee you almost none of these Future Stars will be even close to the overall that SDS has given them.
3 years ago, SDS had Alex Bregman topping out at a high gold.

I don't know the big fuss over this. Everyone was sick of playing the same exact team every game, now they give options of future stars cards and everyone hates it because its unrealistic.
You can't have it both ways.
And then next month, there will be a bunch more cards and people will move on. It sucks that people can’t go outside. Some of these mouth breathers drastically need the fresh air.

It’s always better to underpredict than to overpredict.
Kinda hard to predict who’s going to cheat though.

I don’t want to say I’m surprised because I’m not but I can’t believe people are still crying about some cards stats in the most unrealistic game mode in sports games.

I had a pretty realistic looking Derek Jeter CAP that I played at short for a little while last year. I got all the specs from a YouTube video and it came out really good. When I got another SS I wanted to try, I put my CAP at catcher but it was weird having Jeter back there. I ended up switching him to something generic. It’s a shame they don’t have different name / appearance slots for each position.

It all boils down to a battle of groups here. One side looks at attributes and animations, with the names and appearances being largely irrelevant. The other looks at the same attributes, animations, names and appearances as an actual representation of said player.
If SDS wanted to, they could save money by not buying any rights to former players and instead create whatever fabricated individual characters they wanted. It seems that one group would be more than happy with that, while the other group would hate it.

Claiming people are crying because they don’t agree with your viewpoint is the “perfect/perfect” fly out of insults. You may think that you crushed it, but it’s going nowhere.

If they weren’t overpowered nobody would use them and everyone would say the update was trash.

It's more about a group of people playing a fantasy game mode (DD) complaining about realism while running out Mantle, Reggie and Tatis together.

Did the fantasy foosball hurt your feelings?
When they started giving people attributes over 99, we entered level 50 of dreamy land.
Strap yourselves in and enjoy the nonsense, because things are going to get even more fun when the Switch players arrive next year.
We are all gonna be fielding starting lineups of Peach, Toad, Samus, Link, Pikachu, King K. Rule, Isabelle, Kirby and Simon Belmont.
I’d rather just have mike trout in smash.

Or they could’ve released 90-93 flashbacks instead of FS and majority would be much more happy. Those 90-93s would be very viable and keep the other cards we have viable.
