April POTM Predictions
-
Patrick Corbin Burnes?
-
People forget that MLB decides who wins this, not the Show. It's gonna be Trout and Acuna or Winker. Possibly even Degrom or Burnes. We are almost guaranteed to get the NL winner as the lightning card.
-
I would love to see Vladdy but i could also just see him getting a Topps Now Moment card
-
My guess is Guerrero/Burnes/Buxton as henchmen and J.D Martinez or Rhys Hoskins as the lightning player.

With Vlad hitting 3 bombs last night they could give him a good 91-92 Topps Now card saving room in POTM for guys like Burns and Olsen
Yea he will be part of the POTM program, probably the second last unlock.

They decide the real life ones, but SDS decides on the cards. If Acuna or Trout win POTM in real life I can personally promise you that Barry Bonds will be in the show before they give those two a POTM card that would be lower overall than Trout already is and the same overall the Acuna likely will be after the update. It matches up sometimes, but not all the time.

Vlad is 3rd in the MLB in WAR, only .2 behind Trout and Acuna, both being high diamonds already...
He's also been good defensively this year btw.
I think it's gotta be Vlad at this point -

POTM in the show is selected by the dev team. They base it off of how a players live series card is rated and should preform vs how the real player preformed in a given month.
So guys like Vlad Jr, Burns, JD, Olsen are playing at a diamond level in real life but only have silver or golds.
Trout and Acuna based on their performance so far are pretty much living up to expectations card vs real life.

I just hope there free again like last year.
They weren't even really "free" last year. You still have to do the collection. Depends whether or not the Topps now packs are in the program or notThey were basically free, you did moments and they gave you the cards you needed for the collection, it looks a bit different because they had an option to skip the moments and use stubs or sell your cards if you didn’t want the POTM.
I’m more referring to years past where the pack was limited and every POTM costed nearly a million stubs. I hope that’s gone for good, I thought last year it was just because of Covid, and the league not being active, but maybe they’ve just made this the new norm.

I hope so as well. The completion percentage of 17, 18 and 19s POTM programs had to be extremely low. Those and the equipment collections were just the absolute worst

Those theme collections where the worst. Those were way more of money grab then anything SDS does now and people get upset about
-
If they drop a Jazz Chisholm as one of the cards it could be really sick.
They never let Trout be POTM but he does have an unreal 538 OBP and 815 SLG... No one else can touch those numbers.
-
Shohei Ohtani for henchman!

@mlbts_mlbts said in April POTM Predictions:
Who do you think will be the April POTM? I want it to be Vlad Jr.
I'm hyped for the vlad moment 3 donkey shots including a slam.
-
Castellanos! He has been great all month.
There should've been a Topps Now card for this tough

I’m still under the impression it was more R&D/testing than actual money grabs. There were quite a few in previous years but from what I remember (and from playing most UT modes) they were ALL slightly different. Collect players, exchange players, collect equipment (Yogi Epic failure) extremely rare and expensive packs....the vouchers for hats and jerseys. They’ve tried everything and I think they determined what makes them the most and has a high% of completion to keep people interested and playing.
The giant collection mid way is probably something they’ve researched for a while over the years and came to a decision it’s the best for them and the community.

Buxton missing to much time these last couple weeks and hes only a couple points off being diamond anyways.
Vladdy and burns would be my top guesses. Lots of guys having great years so far tho, its a tough choice!
Buxton would get the most players to do the collection though regardless of how much time he missed. He would have diamond fielding and Max speed. Vladdy would have great hitting attributes but a slow 1st baseman with bad defense is easy to come by
Its only April tho so idk how they would keep Buxton under 99 ovr with that fielding, speed, pwr combo. Hed be filthy, i wouldnt be mad, id sell my team for him lol
Vladdy would be like miggys triple crown card which is a 92-93 overall and have 3rd base eligible, just seems to fit the bill to me for april anyways.
high 95 like correa last year

As a Jays (and KevinGohd) fan, VLADDY OR WE RIOT

Has to be Vlad or I'll dip my head in the Dunkaroos.

Danny Duffy or Corbin Burnes for SP - Duffy has only given up 1 run in 23 innings but Burnes has a stupid 49:0 K:BB ratio.
Melancon might get it for RP (0.083 BAA, 11:1 K:BBs, 8 saves)Deep cut: Richard Rodriguez - 10.1 innings, 10:1 K:BB ratio. 0.034 BAA (only 1 hit) 0.19 WHIP, No runs allowed 4/4 on saves on the Pirates.
