Lighting card is by far the worst one of the year, there’s a few cool POTM cards but other than that pretty lame. The lightning card is supposed to be you know, good. Event looks lame with rewards that will just go towards the next big collection rather than using them in ranked. Headliner is minoso..enough said. What I’m really disappointed in is that there’s no collection for the 5 lighting cards to get a past lighting card like last years castellanos. Maybe they’ll do it after September but they didn’t do that last year I don’t think. I really like Devin Williams card and Robert/renfroe are cool cards but this drop was really boring in my worthless opinion. Probably gonna be let down quite a bit more Friday with the way TA4 has looked
So you want cards in POTM that rival the best hitters of all time. If they gave people more cards like that others would complain about the stats being too similar between good players and great player. The big collections would be much less important as that POTM hitter will be too close to the big collection rewards to warrant the effort/stubs. Devin Williams looks like a great card and will be in a lot of pens in ranked. There are like 60 headliners through the year, but everyone should be a rock star? The model you are asking for is Madden's. Get a 83-86 early in the year, get a 87-90 towards the middle, a 93-96 towards the end and a 97-99 or GT at the end. That way you can incrementally give us waves of better cards. You can't have both IMO without spending a lot of money and then people would complain about that. I just don't understand what everyone is asking for when it comes to what can actually be delivered.
-
I'll agree. Tho I won't complain. I enjoy having something new to do. I was hoping for a bit more exciting event, but potm programs are what they are. Buxton was an awesome start to the programs so I think we all had our hopes high.
-
There's only so much you can do to make one 99 better than another, so I think they're just throwing out as many different kinds of cards as possible without putting much thought into how their attributes compare to what came before. At this point in the game cycle, anyone expecting new cards to somehow be a massive upgrade over the ones we already have is just setting themselves up for disappointment. Unless you absolutely have to have a specific fan favorite player who doesn't have a 99 yet, your lineup is probably about as good as it's going to get for the rest of the year.
I'm still playing just for love of the game. I enjoy completing content and my team is already loaded with great cards, so the rewards are almost irrelevant to me.
-
I honestly dont get the hate for the TA4 players that have been revealed. They are all great players, and I am looking forward to using most of them, excluding the future stars.
-
Oh no, they aren’t “Meta” cards!!! Simple, go use the same god squad everyone else uses. There are many players who I’m sure will use them to try something new, add to a theme team, try something different in an offline mode.

Great analysis Mr. Face. Bet the wife will love this one
Thank you, good sir. And sorry if I was grumpier than usual, but I'm doing my least favorite quarterly reports at work and (at least in my mind) the rest of the world is at home grinding the monthly program, so I'm not a happy hippopotamus.
If I may ask what do you do for work my man?
I’m the marketing director for a private school system, but I also teach a couple classes that are related to marketing and digital media. I had to do progress reports today, which are my least favorite things ever so I always put them off until the last second.

This week alone, we're getting...
- New Ranked Rewards
- POTM
- Conquest Map
- New Event
- TA4
- New Mega Collection
Where did you see the new Mega Collection news?
Let’s be honest neither of those ranked rewards are better than cards we already have, this is the worst potm program by far, who even plays conquest at this point of the game cycle, new event has boring rewards and it’s played on all star, TA4 looks terrible already. They just updated to promote a new collection today. It could be very good or it could be very bad. Hoping that it saves the huge flop that today was.
Me, I love conquest and can't wait for them to release more maps. You can chose to be negative or you can enjoy the game I chose to do the latter. Not to mention that Josh Donaldson card was a end game 3rd basemen for me last year.
I hate having to sim games hope next year they have a cpu season mode or something where u play live series and all time teams
This would be awesome!

Why can’t we just have different meta cards instead of having the same meta cards that everyone used in late July. Like it’s September now. Why not flip the release of how good the cards are. Give us great cards in July then meh cards in September that’s just a stupid business model

I dare you to play anyone good using a pitcher without outlier, a sinker, or a cutter. You’re gonna get run out of the stadium. Why do you think people use them??

I’m actually a communications major while playing ball at a small naia school. So my degree could take me into a job in that field. That’s cool bro!

Comparing 15 credits to a full time job is a poor comparison nice try though

Almost like they don't care about the extremely small percentage of players that play on legend, which seems to be all you care about. You know where most of their money comes from? People that play on allstar and play conquest. If every card is an L because they won't play on legend then I guess there isn't anyway to change your mind. The reason everyone thinks all content is an L is because the only people that talk about it are legend players and twitter trolls.
Correct. That Eric Davis card will be a beast for a lot of all star and even some HOF players.
-
Content this week is/will be great, but it’s definitely the most lackluster of the monthly awards program. I think it was partly so it wouldn’t compete with the goodness of the team affinity 4 dropping Friday. I like doing the moments and missions for POTM program, but if I’m being honest, the only one of these cards that I’m remotely interested in is Robert (and that’s only because I like him as a player IRL). I already owned all of the Topps Now cards so I’m happy to recover some of the stubs I spent the last couple weeks.

I hated the Buxton but I really enjoy doing POTM. I mean Schwarber is an elite catcher option if you care more about offense. Votto is just one of many great 1b and semien was well meh, but Ray is ok. He's what a POTM should be in this model. Good but not great.
