97 Ruth for Takashi Collection is a Huge L

Honestly though, Babe is a pretty big fan favorite. For those of you screaming "L"....who did you really expect? Or who did you think it should be? Prime Matsui?

Someone who wasn’t another lefty 97ovr first baseman. If they were dead set on Ruth, it needed to be the 99 Ruth.

I’m sure they will technically say you can but with all the Future Stars being dropped on Friday as well you won’t be able to earn them for a few days at least. Thus to get the Big Collection on Friday you’d have to skip FS.
You are correct. It's a cycle around here when it comes to collections. It's a money grab when it first drops and then people beg for free prime cards or whatever and repeat for the next one. There will always be more than enough cards to go around with patience
I don't need prime cards, or 2nd heros, or any other cards, I just need to be able to ignore the ridiculously over priced Takashi cards, and not have them hide the collection behind the brand new future cards.
And you are right, the collections are alway millions the first week then they will give out cards like candy, but without TA how will they give the cards out. My guess is always intense packs and headliners. Everything this year is being approached from a business financial mentality and it blows hard.
To be fair tho, the only comparison I have is mlb21 and they spoiled us pretty good.
21 is actually the game that did things so differently and likely a result of its release later in April.
19 and 20 were done in a manner very similar to what we have this year only difference so far is TA is gone
For reference TA in 19 had only 1 reward all year and it was a 85 to 87 card for every team and TA was irrelevant after about the first 2 months.
TA in 20 was better and had 30 programs 1 for each team so it was a super slow grind for season 1 and 2 which dropped pretty quick then we went about 3 months till season 4 dropped which was just another round of FoTF cards and they were 97 to 99 overall cards but you had to have completed season 1 and 2 to progress to these card or buy them off the market.
What we have now is being course corrected to have the game normally works and in past years the big collection took time to finish not everyone had it done the day it dropped which I think is a positive.

You have to collect ALL of them? Looks like no baby ruth for me. Ohh well.
Yep, screw that.
Gameplay this year is whack -- line drive, caught! -- superdive, caught! -- penguin slide, out!
Changes to quick sell prices only benefit SDS.
Needing every card for a collection like this is, in my opinion, whack. You'd have to buy the cards or turn the game into a full-time job.

He's not a first basemen he's a primary outfielder who will maybe have 1B as secondary
If you are viewing him as a 1B primary that's on you

His defense/speed in the outfield will make him unplayable in a competitive environment (just like how you don’t see Kiner out there despite his hitting attributes). For anyone playing competitively he is a first baseman.

Be realistic though. Unless they go complete fantasy with his speed/fielding, people will use him as a 1B. Especially with the proliferation of God Squad outfielders out there already.

Cmon man. Don't be that guy, you know [censored] well Ruth and Delgado are firstbaseman for 95% of the community. If you put them in the outfield you are either a terrible H2H player, or a vs cpu hero.

And his silver fielding in the outfield isn't even bad normally people just tend to treat any outfielder that isn't Buxton/Griffey/Mays/Mantle/Trout level fielding as Nelson Cruz. As long as dives are still broken silver fielding in the outfield is more than fine. We all know the drill though, when they release another Takashi card via headliner or Event reward next week someone will come here and whine that they paid 500k for Maddux

Yeah I'm pretty disappointed in 22 as well. I wont spend a red penny on this game beyond the original purchase.
"Line drive, CAUGHT!" LMAO what a joke GM play is! I just laugh at this point.

They think ppl just have Delgado sitting around in their inventory!? Pretty disappointing they put a card that everyone would want behind a pay wall. If they do this with Griffey I'm gonna be upset!!!

That's on the player base then, the fact everyone has this idea every player needs to have perfect defense and speed to play the field is so misguided cause if you set you defense up the right way you can have Ruth out the next to Trout who can support him. Also for anyone complaing about line outs but also complains that a card doesn't have the speed and defense to play out there needs to understand that is why nothing falls for hits cause you have an outfield that has the fastest and best defenders in the game of course nothings going to get down.
This card is the first of 3 collection rewards for this set in my opinion and it makes perfect sense for it to be Babe and at 97 is right clealry SDS is protecting the 99 after everyone complained last year there were to many to soon. Be prepared that we won't see mass 99s until late July early August

If this card has silver fielding then his hitting will have to be somewhat nerfed from the 99 to get there and with the popularity of Laughing Mountain this year silver Defense + <60 speed isn’t playable.

Yeah, if I didn't go on a crazy NMS pull streak early in the cycle, I'd have pretty much nothing close to done. Acuna 4 times, DeGrom 3 times, Trout, Tatis, Vlad, Soto when he was $...on and on.
DD has become sort of the equivalent of a Ubisoft map. Bloated, always something else to chase, no sense of great satisfaction at the end of it. Even worse since IT WILL ALL START OVER AGAIN NEXT YEAR...ugh.

So.
First, line drives right at fielders. That's the complaint. Happens way too often. Might just be the way the game is coded that outs happen like that, but it's frustrating.
Second, love the idea that they're slowing down the 99 train. Big win there.
Third, let's see what his fielding and speed are. Might be usable. Cbrev claims that outfield D is less important this year. Maybe.

100% I like how they have done this basicly of you want to do a collection right away it's gonna cost you but if you are patience you will get it done for nothing.
Can't wait for the freak out on Friday when to get the big collection done you will need 90% of the cards in the game and the market shoots up and people saying it's a money grab even though you could wait likely just a couple weeks and get ot dome

You are changing the argument. The argument isn’t the cost of the collection, it’s that the reward the online community (correctly) views Ruth as a lefty first baseman in a collection that already includes a lefty first baseman at the same overall.

I kind of like the fact that I won't be able to get Fridays collection done immediately too(I won't be that far off but still). In 19 the chase for Honus was awesome. Trout in 20 day 1 was extremely easy as was Mo last year, and I had Mookie, Kershaw, and Griffey day 1 too.

I mean if this community of baseball fans is viewing Babe Ruth as a first basement I am going to question their knowledge and understanding of the game. Babe Ruth is a Primary outfielder with 2241 games played in the out field, 163 games as a pitcher and 33 games at 1st base.
In fact Babe Ruth played more games in CF at 74 games then he did at 1st base in 33 games
If this community views him as a 1st basemen then that is on the community an not SDS
