    Dumb idea to have a CAP. That’s for RTTS

    It's complicated, I don't really hate the concept, some people like using themselves, I personally don't.

    What I hate is Darren O'Day motion lefty pitcher throwing 99 or all the 5th-grade humor names.

    I agree, but Richard Long is heading to the hall of fame in my RTTS

    I think the CAP stat grind was a bigger draw than actually using my CAP. Once I completed the full catcher CAP path then I pretty much stopped using him altogether.

    I might have to bring him back
    at some point though. Gary Carter was hands down my favorite catcher last year but unfortunately he’s nutso expensive. Torre is pretty good but my CAP was much better tbh.

    Absolutely love having a cap. Best player on the field in three different positions, and lights out at short. Switch hitter, with the batting stance I want. What's not to like.

    I used to be against it for no reason.
    Now it's one of the best features of online DD. You can literally make yourself a baseball card & play H2H games on any difficulty with Legends, Current players & prospects. Or create any player that's not currently in game. Any position, any build. Could create Mickey Mantle if you dont have LS Collections done lol. Not to mention stubs saved at whatever position. Whoever doesn't have one make one asap Speed/Fielding/Balance build any position is the best true Diamond defense Diamond hitting. Power can be applied via equipment so wouldn't go that build.

    I feel that if you are making a dynasty, you shouldn't be able to use a fake player. I also like it being as realistic as possible. I know that some people like it, but personally, I will never use one.

    Steve Nebraska pitched an 81 pitch perfect game, with the 81st pitch coming in at 112mph to strike out Ozzie Smith.... and he hit a 430ft HR in the World Series after taking George Steinbrenner’s helicopter from the rooftop of Yankee Stadium.
    Why would I let that type of player go to waste on my DD squad? Lol

    The cap is nice to add a top player to a position that’s thin. There are very few players that can match a maxed out cap as a five tool player, plus it’s nice to have an added personal connection to your team besides just uniforms. Also don’t think caps are going anywhere cause that is primarily what drives the equipment market. You take caps away that’s multiple 10,000 plus transactions daily that sds will lose, meaning less money spent on buying stubs

    I think a lot of people get immature with them, i am not a huge fan, but use one, because there is usually a position i dont like the options. Almost always catcher.

    For a while it was LH RP

    I don’t like them, but I use them bc they’re so OP and are available. I’d prefer them not to be in the game but I’m not gonna put myself at a disadvantage by not using one.

    It’s fun for a little while using myself as a CAP, but I bore of it quickly. I almost never use one, and when I did use the one with my name, it was all offline. If I feel like doing it, I can go back to my RTTS player. I play RTTS maybe once a month.

    That said, I do kind of like using CAP to make players they don’t have in the game. I had my CAP as Larry Walker for a little while last year.

    I used one in the bullpen early game before we had enough arms but not anymore. It's pretty cheesy I think I csn win without it.

    My cap is Mickey scales, I’m the only guy in the world that thinks he can hit.

    You used to be able to create 9 caps on your team I believe it was... so there’s that.

    Sometimes I wonder what’s less realistic, having Mickey scales as a 2B or having an outfield of Mike Trout, Mickey Mantle and Larry Walker 🤷🏽‍♂️
