The 97 Albert Pujols
-
I never really one to get mad SDS for content ( do I want my high socked diamond lefties relievers , sure, but that a me thing and it’s my team build), but I’m understanding why we are getting a 97 Albert Pujols and not the 99. I don’t do well with Pujols cards, but my thing is why not the 99 and make the 97 Chapman the 90 point reward… It feels like a miss to me, because it means for those who want him he’s going to come out late.. I think SDS does an amazing Job on content, hopefully we get an offline ranked seasons next year, but this something I’m a little confused by.
-
We will definitely see a 99 Pujols down the line. People have complained that they wait too long every year with releasing a good Pujols card, and now they're releasing a good Pujols card. Not the best card, but a good one. In my mind there is no doubt that there won't be a 99 prime/awards/SS Pujols down the line.
Edit: also, giving a 97 Chapman at 90 points is a bit too much of a reward. He's a crutch pitcher, he is every year. He is worthy of being a flawless reward imo.
-
I’m not mad at them, like I said they do a great job, but why not 99? I guess my point is at this point of the year if they are releasing high diamonds of any prominent player, why not the best version.
-
My money's on Pujols being the 10th Inning Solo Boss (like Griffey last year) to celebrate the impending retirement.

I mean there isn't really much of a difference between 90 and 100 points. I guess the having to choose between him and Musial would make a difference but everyone is still going to have him

Agree, it would only be right

In my opinion there is a significant difference between the two. Everyone who grinds out the program will get the 90 point reward, but then you have to choose at 100. For the guys who are a big fan of Musial, they will either go with him or have to make a tough decision.

He's gotta sign with an AL team to DH and go for 700 though, right?

Here's the message I get from the Announcements of the new BR rewards Musial and Pujols......
Screw you Cardinal fans who only play DD offline.
I am not sure I will even have enough stubs to buy either of them
-
Now that I’ve had my morning coffe,I can formulate what I was trying to say better.. We know Pujols is going to get a 99, whether it’s his own program or an inning boss or something like that… I’m not complaining here, I’m discussing because I do believe SDS content is the best out of all the ultimate team modes I’ve played… My thing is as year round player, There are a lot of 95-97 overall legends that never get an upgrade Pop Stargell who has great swing comes to mind, I just feel like this would be a better spot for that, than us get two extremely high diamond Pujols cards… And I feel like that fact are releasing one why not just do the 99… I have very few complaints about this game, once again SDS goes a great job, just my thoughts on it…

Pujols will be like 40k max, so he will be affordable

Yeah, I can do that. I have not paid any attention to the prices of the BR rewards. I just knew that the 12-0 rewards were prohibitively expensive.

The 90 point rewards(Pujols) usually drop to the 30kish range. Musial is a bit more unpredictable as Harper was at one point 230k or so, but I'm guessing somewhere around 300k is the best bet for him. Could go lower, and BR rewards haven't really settled at above 350k, but it really depends on how many actually play through the BR program

Unfortunately I am sure it comes down to dollars and data again. I'm sure they have plenty of data that shows a 97 and 99 Pujols results in more profit than a 97 Stargell and 99 Pujols...or countless other options of players who deserve solid cards.
-
really a 97 pujols only to release a 99 later in the year? Why not release other cards that will not get 99's later on. Where is my boy Orel Hershiser?

You can get to ~300k stubs (most likely starting price of Musial) in a 4-6 hours of flipping cards. I was flipping Jim Palmer and Lou Brock over the weekend and made about 350,000. Making about 1200 on average per copy. Go here (ShowZone), find the players that are moving quickly and start flipping. Throw on Netflix or whatever you want and grind away.

I hate flipping cards.
Even if I did enjoy flipping it would have been nice, as an offline player, to have a chance to earn even one of those two cards through play. I have a feeling that by the time we get to a 99 Pujols I will have moved on from the game.
The two best Cardinal cards we can earn through offline play is Harrison Bader (who has weaker hitting stats against lefties) and Lou Brock (who I am a huge fan of but only has average power)
-
As a thought
The reason we are getting a 97 ovr Albert card because his big 99 card will be a Milestones card for his 3000 hit which will mean it will be an Angels card.
The 97 is to give hima usable card in his Cardinals Jersey
