Topps Now cards too strong?

I said it when they announced TA would be All Stars. At this point, they may as well make a 90+ rated card for every decent player in the league. Between All Stars, Topps Now, PotM, throwbacks, remaining TA stages, Postseason, and Finest, half the league will be high diamonds.
Swanson is going to have 8 cards by the end of the year
Oh and I can’t hit with any of them

Were you around for the 9 John Smoltz's last year? This is nothing new.

Lorenzo Cain must be in his early days because he just robbed me of a homer this is fun
-
Why because Max Schrek and John Hamm have better cards than Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth.
-
Are they too strong? Do you ever see them in ranked lineups?
-
Honestly no hardcore players use like any of the Topps Now players. They serve their purpose of being a good card for a theme team or for the average player or for someone that is a fan of certain player. As long as they're not all like 97+ or OP I'm fine with them.
-
These cards usually lack fielding, speed, and vision. For some events and for TA purpose will be good to use

do we really need 95 TN hitters? I'd rather we were getting some Golds and Silvers every week, creating a great source of options for Events.

Makes sense

Swanson moment: normal swing homer power swing 3 times pop up and fly outs

Garbage takes in here. For the competitive tournaments with roster limits, the TN cards are absolute god sends. Juiced power and contact for guys in the 93-94 range, which is perfect for the roster composition.

Garbage response here. Just because an opinion doesn’t match yours, doesn’t make it garbage. Everyone doesn’t play in tournaments. I’d guess a very small percentage of players do.

The thread is about 93/94/95 juiced hitting stats for TN players. Everyone seems to agree they are not needed relative to their performance IRL and other star cards in the game. That is just not true, and it is painfully obvious what SDS is doing with them.
Forgive me if I offended you by saying it is a garbage take. It is an uninformed take.

I like the Topps Now cards for Missions... issue is getting them sometimes via moments

They could add players who actually deserve those stats instead of inflating players who’ve had maybe 1 or 2 good games in their career. Just because people like to have cards that represent a player’s actual skill IRL, doesn’t make it uninformed. It’s just a different opinion than yours.

Why are Topps Now cards accepted and Future Stars/Prospects crapped upon?

To be fair I think the same people that don't like topps now cards also don't like future stars, they are just more vocal about future stars. 90% of us don't care
-
Personally, in my own view, they are awesome at engaging people with the new crop of top talent in the game.

I feel the same about all of them. They would be awesome mid-tier cards. Cap TN, Prospect, and FS cards at like 90-92 overall and I think they’d be awesome.

I'm the same, but I also couldn't care less about the Number on the Shield. I pick my lineups on the guys splits and Defensive stats. But I also don't play on-line so I see other people's prerogatives.
