86 Crawford is virtually useless on most teams with plenty of better SS
So you use any of the April POTM cards that were released beside maybe Didi? Probably not. POTM cards have been and always will be what you call “useless” with few exceptions. POTM cards are for fun. They are free cards, who cares if they are useless or not. Expect to be disappointed with the final reward, because Correa or Bell would barely be better than their FOTF versions and Verlander is easy to hit in this game
I would prefer different players who may have a chance. I think not a lot of thinking goes into these choices sometimes
What do you mean buy this? Who would you like to have seen, you can make a statement like this without some kind of example.
In the end this is a place holder program for POTM something SDS didn't need to do and could have said POTM will be paused until the season returns.
The award goes back to 1958. I can think of plenty hitters and pitchers you can choose from. For example Daniel Murphy 2016 can play many positions.

Ok I understand the award has been around for 50+ years.
So my next question is do you understand how POTM works in MLB The Show?I dont honestly so please explain.
MLB the show gives POTM cards based on certain performances throughout the month. They don’t always follow the real life player of the month awards. They started doing this in 17. The cards released in these programs were cards released in previous games’ POTM programs, so there are only 8-10 cards for them to choose from to include in this years programs. If we had a baseball season we would get cards based on performances from this year
Ah ok but in a season like this maybe expand outwards and use players from the farther past if they have the rights? I would want them to maybe be more original here

I was also thinking they could go back and look st mlb’s past players of the month and make some sweet fresh content. But the flashbacks are cool too. I never got onuse didi now he’s a fixture on my team. Same w
, I’m expecting him to be my starting 1b now -

I think the issue here is that they may have plans for other legends and flashbacks so adding another card for them isn't viable also the likely hood is they had no real plan or use for these cards so considering the situation this was the easiest thing to do as a substitute when it was known the season would be delayed.
Also as an additional point to POTM in game they are selected based on players performing about their expectations. That is why you dont see guys like Trout and Arendo getting POTM even with big months their is a level of expectations for them to do that where as guys like the 99 Eric Thames POTM in the prestige path no one expected him to do what he did that month

Makes sense. I am just looking right now and don’t have much initiative to do the May path yet.

2 of the 4 announced. Not to exciting yet. Brandon Crawford and hector neris.
Assuming they’re revealing them in order of lowest overall to highest overall, it doesn’t look like we’re getting Dietrich in this program.
Unless they boost him to an 88 or something.
No Dietrich pretty much means we are guaranteed Alex wood though, so that is a plus
🤮Don’t get me wrong he will be worse to face than Kluber and Newhouser but will be fun to use lmao
I just want POTM Dietrich or AS Chris Davis back.
You got one of your wishes.
-
Dietrich confirmed 88 overall
-
Didn't Dietrich's POTM include his Stache on the card?
-

I just want 85 derek Detrich, so I can smack homers off of righties.
you got your wish but at a 88 instead
-
Super stoked for the DD card.
-
I was 2 for 4 in my predictions. Got Dietrich, and Crawford right if one of the last 2 is Wood i'll be 3 for 4 only getting Verlander wrong.
-
Well, Dietrich being an 88 tells us they’re willing to shift the ratings around for these types of cards.

Yeah lol, guess I was spot on
-
90 rated Alex Wood announced. Probably not Verlander for the final one then, right?
-
ProbBly not
-
Bring on that Josh Bell. I love his FotF, cant imagine how much better this one will be.
-
90 Wood might actually be useful. He can be so deceptive with that windup.
I usually have trouble with him... -
My guess it bell
