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.

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.
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.

Great card. Top 3 pitcher
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

@bob_loblaw1984 said in Halladay stinks:
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.
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.

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.
Yeah, I know. What I'm saying is that if sinkers weren't OP -- and curves weren't basically useless -- then any pitch mix would work well so long as the control and movement were on point.
Regarding curves, can't count how many times I tried to bury one below the zone only to have it sent 500 feet...ridiculous.

If Halladay gets a 125 H/9 (or even close to it) when the "best" Pedro card last year was like a 105 H/9...
I'll be livid.

Now I'm hoping he gets 125 h/9 just so you can be livid

I just got him last night & sold him immediately while he was still listed in the 41K to 40K range. Those stubs helps me get closer to buying at least 1 of the 5 remaining LS Diamonds I need, which happens to be the 5 highest priced LS cards.
If & when I might really need to get PS Halladay to complete an expanded PS Collection, then I will buy him back at that time & his value would have dropped to half of what he goes for now due to so many others getting that far into the Program & then wanting to sell him.

Buy him back before the collection is announced/dropped or that price will skyrocket

But don't you agree Pedro is more deserving of a dominant card than Halladay?
Livid or not, I assume everyone that knows baseball would at least agree with the above statement.

Yeah I know. Pedro owns Halladay in virtually every statistical category besides complete games and shutouts.
Was that link supposed to prove me wrong? Lol.
na.
