Votto lightning
-
People are literally going to complain about anything that happens in this game. The man was about as lightning as you can get last month and he’s a future hall of fame 1B with a good swing in this game. If you have another 1B already you think is better you have a very quality “problem”. Also I didn’t see any switch hitting catchers hit 15 hrs and steal 15 bases in MLB for July so I’m not sure who you all were expecting SDS to pick as the lightning player that would make everyone’s god squad.

there is also a lightning flashback today,
-
I dont really care about this card, but I'll have Mookie done once I have this completed, and that's pretty cool!
-
Sweet, I like Votto

I think Votto is the flashback - if a card is not LS its either a flashback or legend

All lightning cards are therefore flashbacks, because they're all active players.
-
Another good player tucked away on the bench that I won’t use. It’s a shame too because I love Papi,Fielder,Murray,HRB Alonso,HRB Trey,etc but I keep all star Vlad in 99% of the time. Juan Soto would have a been a cool card but I totally understand why Votto got it. Guy had a crazy 7 games.
-
Strictly a personal choice, but I’ve always loved Votto.. although clearly not anywhere near as good as the Mookie card but I am way more excited to obtain this card
-
Ill complete it for the Xp and its something to do but I dont see Votto being someone ill use much. Im perfectly happy with Vlad at 1st and Chipper at 3rd
-
Reds fan here! I’m building my own perfect refs lineup so votto is a solid choice! Not gonna be on my God squad with Murray and big papi already taking 1B

At this point of the year the only cards that will be better than what we already have are Griffey, Mays, Mantle, Aaron, Trout, and Tatis. Use cards you like instead of the meta. This game is much more enjoyable that way
Agree. I joy was renewed once I started making different lineups instead of hitting 80 offline homeruns with the same players
-
I mean, he def deserved it so their hands were kind of tied imo. It kind of stinks that its ANOTHER high 1B but on the other hand it is nice to have a variety of 1B for people. I think we assume everyone has the best ones already but there are a lot of average players that haven't completed AL Collection for Papi, or TA3 for Fielder or got lucky/have the stubs to buy HRD Alonso or AS Vlad etc.
-
Is the program out already?

Yeah, I just got Murray installed at first so I don't see me playing with this Votto. It won't stop me from doing the program because I may need them for a collection at some stage. Since it is a 99 I guess that we won't be getting a Sig Series or MVP card for him this year.
I was always going to be more interested in the other choices more than the lightening card anyway.
Last year Jose Ramirez had a FB finest in the exp rewards tree then a lightning 99 later. That said it was a very disappointing drop
Was that the one that had 98 Mondesi too? He was the real prize.

Yes. 98 Mondesi was in that program. Great card.

I get people being bummed about another first baseman but the man earned that lightning card. If they didn't give it to him they would have people on here going "does SDS even watch baseball?". It's kind of a lose-lose everytime except for cards like Schwarber or Tatis last year.
All year SDS has chosen from the MLB players of the month for the lightning card. That meant either Ohtani and Votto. I think they probably could’ve looked beyond those two this month. Even if it was for one of the pitchers of the month - Buehler or Taillon.
personally may try him at first, move vlad to third, chipper to left, bench domginguez

@silverbullet3519 said in Votto lightning:
Is there a collection at the end of the year that requires all of the lightning cards? This is pretty much my first year playing DD seriously. I played it in 2019 but didn't actually pursue most of the collections or do much of anything besides buy the cards I wanted and play Ranked.
I don't really want the Votto but if he'll be needed later I might get him anyway just because the POTM programs are pretty fast to complete.
You need 80 Topps Now and 45 Monthly Award cards for the Mookie collection. You can’t sell monthly awards cards from this year so if you are doing the awards from previous months you may as well finish them if you can. I’m sure you will need even more of those cards if there is another player collection after this.
-
We're going to have a legit all lightning card team at the end of the year. Sadly, we'll be ready for 22 by that point.
-
Definitely giving him a try. I remember his finest in ‘17 that card was a beast.
