Halladay stinks
-
-
In the early Moments, he didn't have a put away pitch, but later with the Cutter and Splitter, it was easier to K batters.
-
The only reason we complain about his pitch mix is because SDS randomly gives super sinkers to guys who don't have them. Hell, Cabrera almost broke the game last year, and his IRL card doesn't even have a sinker -- slow clap for SDS here.
If sinkers weren't META -- god, I hate that term -- everyone's real pitch mix would be just fine.

He has a sinker.

Great card. Top 3 pitcher
I think if it wasn't Roy Halladay and just someone random you wouldn't say that...
And I could easily make 5 better
If you can make 5 better, get those hips to work.

His H/9 which was all the rage last year is the best of any pitcher so far. Also remember: This is his 95. They probably had to water it down a bit so the 99 can stand out and be spectacular. I'd be willing to bet his 99 will be considered a top 10 or even top 5 pitcher when this came is said and done.

I'm not that mad though.
I would have been kind of furious if they made Halladay better than Sig Pedro from last year.
IRL Pedro was levels above Halladay. Hopefully they at least give a 99 Pedro this year a H/9 he deserves.
Or a better option would be to not have no hitter milestone cards at all, in which case Pedro's H/9 from last year would be passable

Yeah those 99 No hitter milestone cards were released pretty early in the game last year and they also had 102 outlier fastball which made the cards like Verlander and Ryan endgame

Yeah, and the best pitchers in 19 and 20 didn't even have 110 H/9. Game is better off without starters having max H/9.

Looks good to me. Sinker, cutter, splitter, curveball…horizontal movement in both directions, vertical movement, speed differentials, control, movement, 106 h/9.
Some people just complain about anything.

@jkooch66_xbl said in Halladay stinks:
K/9 is bad, no velo, and I'm sure it's accurate but no slider (nor slurve, sweeping curve, etc) is a huge no go. I don't really care or mind, in fact when it comes to online I'd be happy to face him, and if people enjoy him that's great. But the general vibe seems to be excitement and this is not a particularly good card.

Pitching is an art form and Halladay was an artist. I was at his postseason no hitter and he was dominant pitching to contact. People think that throwing balls in the dirt is the only way to make people miss…Yeah. Some guys are gonna swing at everything but when you have patient hitters, People freak out. You have to try and put the ball where where it’s hittable but induces weak contact. That’s baseball. Throwing 102 meta sinkers with Cabrera last year was unrealistic and I’m happy they changed that this year.

Games better off if they move away from 100+ stats for pitchers and hitters.

I got carved up by Roy pretty nastily by a guy who used him well. He looked pretty good to me.

Don’t pay attention to this guy. He seems to post this every time someone says a card isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.

Havent got him yet. But doing the challenges offline I'm like meh. My 92s are better

There's no horizontal movement that's the issue. His cutter isn't even 99 break and I'm not counting that anyways when it's his primary.
Also, I'm not complaining in any way at all. What do I care if the free card is good or bad? It just seemed like everyone was stoked and I don't see it. And the bit I've used him I've hated him. But if people like it cool, I'd be happy to face it online, and I'm happy to sell it for 40k. There's no complaining going on just an observation.

No one is stoked for THIS Halladay card, they are stoked for the one to come..the 99 with 125 p/9’s that im sure will be dropped later in the year or knowing SDS, mid life cycle to completely destroy the game. Just like everyone was excited for milestone and no hitter cards last year, until they had to face them and couldn’t hit them at all and then they hated them.
na.
