3rd inning is a bust for me

You gotta feel for SDS. Last year's primary complaint was that they were too quick to roll out 99s and lacked variety. This year, they added Prime and award based cards to mitigate that. Also, they had no other option but to roll out Prospect cards early, as they're not endgame and want to give people a chance to earn them. This is by no means a perfect game but I wish that community would stop looking for reasons to hate it. Maybe a more appropriate reaction would be gratitude that SDS is actually probing us as to what it is we want.

I really like Chipper, it is from his MVP season in 1999. Absolutely no bias saying that. Roberts and Victorino both look kinda good to me. Much better than the 2nd Inning, I could see all three guys starting for me. That probably speaks volumes about where my team is at.
The cards aren't beauties, but eh they're alright.
-
Last year: "You're giving us 99's too early!"
This year: "Where are all the 99's?!
SDS is damned if they do, damned if they don't.

They maybe don’t roll out Kluber at broNze 40

So don’t use the cards? Not everyone has a god squad & believe it or not, some people are fans of the guys they dropped. Maybe their card isn’t great .. still allows them to be used before they’re absolutely useless later in the year. So quick to complain, yikes man.

The issues I’m having with the content is 80% is recycled. If we want to get technical outside of the Team Affinity Prospects its 100% recycled. Each Inning program so far has included someone that was a mainstay in line ups last year. They also are already recycling the new “Legends”. Roberts has already been in lineups as a gold since week 1. Victorino also has been widespread from team collections. Chipper has been around forever. At this rate we wont get too many ‘new” legends until near end of the games life. We will get the best versions of Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Ortiz, etc at a time when The game is almost obsolete. SDS could have had some decency to sneak in an Albert Belle or player of his quality its been 2 years. I’d rather have him again instead of Bob Feller’s racist [censored] again and again.

I didn’t know that only glowing positive comments could be made on this forum. I’m so sorry for my indiscretions. I didn’t say anything in an overly dickish way. Chill, I think the program is a bust, you don’t, great, different strokes for different folks. I can still express my view and it’s not a horrible thing like I came on here swearing saying sds is @$&$ . I love the game, don’t like the program any of the rewards or cards. More prospects ends at 600 blah. End rant

Undoubtedly entitled to your opinion. I’m chill lol, just think complaining 30 mins or so into content drop is a bit ridiculous. Thanks for making it clear for everybody tho that you aren’t a fan & the cards are a bust. Carry-on everyone.
-
im not interested in any of the cards. il just keep grinding on the team affinities
-
All but one of these cards is good enough to start on my team. Not everybody plays 24-7 and has all the best cards in the game.
-
These are good cards unless you paid$ to get the collection reward cards

How exactly is Bob Feller racist?

Chipper is only card who could make my bench as a pinch hitter, fielding and speed suck. He’s basically a lefty specialist only
Defense is important, but man, Chipper is always glitchy at the plate, and usually does fine fielding.

Imagine being this miserable playing a game you can’t quit
I’m not miserable , I enjoy the game. Program still sucks mr kiss [censored] / hate on everyone’s post
I don’t hate on anyone’s post. It’s the simple fact that people come in here and complain about every little aspect of the game yet still can’t quit it.
They complain about the game... You complain about them. Both the same.

Conquest gave me one silver, a QS diamond and a gold card tho.

I think all three guys make most peoples squad, unless youve completed the collections. Roberts is better than Sandburg; switch hitter with a better swing. Shane is a poor manys Mantle and Chipper...common, its Chipper! Youre using his swing on you CAP.
Roberts is not better than Sandberg . I’ll take Ryno 80+ power from both sides all day everyday also his swing is fine IMO.

Chipper with his good attributes plays good...that makes him glitchy?

If you play far above your stats, it's glitchy. Glitchy bats tend to have the really quick swing (Suarez, Blackmon, Mondesi, etc), but what gets overlooked is the glitchy glove. Frank Thomas ALWAYS has terrific defense, despite almost always being a common level fielder. I can turn more difficult double plays with Frank than I can with Olson
-
OP is right. These bosses are a joke. You're going to grind for days to get one of these cards and they won't be on your squad come August. Two guys with no power and one guy who only crushes lefties. SMH. fail.

Yeah i get that if you play above your attributes...but when good attributes play good...that is not glitchy
