Pedro Likely The Third Boss... And I'm Scared
-
To see his attributes.
Dropping alongside subpar Ripken and Bench cards, I doubt they'll juice Pedro to the level he deserves.
Pedro and Randy are the clear Top 2 SP of their generation, and Pedro should get a card worthy of that.
But I'm not optimistic.
-
We have exactly 1 no-hitter card, which is about 15 less than what we had when Pedro was released last year. That was always the biggest problem, not his H/9
-
Hoping for a Retro Finest Pedro.
-
A fun card they could do for Pedro, and it would be an early game card, would be a RP postseason from 99 when he threw 6 hitless Innings out of the pen against Cleveland in game 5.
-
I'm excited and scared for this card.
Excited because he is one of my favorite Red Sox players and was a beast.
Scared because they 'swung and missed' with his 99 last year.

How do we know Ripken send Bench are subpar? Where is everyone getting these attributes?

People are probably basing their negative opinions on those two players notoriously having long/slow swings. Even if they have juiced attributes, if their swings haven’t been updated, it holds them back from being useable for most players

Absolutely correct. They have been long and slow forever. Many people have trouble hitting with Mays on the inside heater. Kinda the same with Aaron last year.

That makes sense. It is a bummer that certain players swings render them useless in higher online difficulties. Luckily I swim in the shallow end so every single card in the game is somewhat usable. Part of me wants to improve and graduate to higher difficulties, part of me wants to always enjoy playing rookie against CPU where I can use all the cards in my inventory.

Eric, you are the best poster on these forums. Always a clear head on your shoulders. It is very unclear how you ever got banned. Keep bringing in the fresh air.

Thanks bud. I do try to stay sober until all of my posting is done. But sometimes the Margaritas are calling my name.
Oh is that not what you meant? Haha. Well, I definitely see the point of view of anyone playing primarily online even if I can't relate. I wish SDS would work to make all of these players useable. I mean Johnny Bench is an amazing legend who should excite people. But if you know the swing doesn't work and you'll be eaten alive on inside heaters....what fun is that? Hopefully Pedro has a great card.

incoming 90 H/9 because this is SDS we’re talking about

Awards Pedro (not Finest or Milestone) confirmed.
Very concerned they once again screw him attribute-wise.
I'm not concerned. Last year being a signature card is what screwed him. It's the worst series a pitcher can have because its based on career averages. That being said, his H/9 in 97 was 1.2 better than his career average. It will be at least 110

Dragon, how do you know so much? I just looked and thought...."cool a different card this year and it's pretty"
Who has over 110 H/9 this year for starters? I know Nolan does. Anyone else?

Edit: I just looked and even Randy is 105. What is everyone so worried about?
I'll reiterate....Griffey is not THE Griffey. There will be another. And my guess is it'll be a part 2 of the program (well that's your guess Dragon) but I'm pretty sure you're right.
-
Realistically I’m not expecting max per 9s. Probably 90-100 H/9 80-90 K/9 very good Control and unfortunately no Outlier on his Fastball. that being said I hope I’m wrong and his a goon/Hands down best pitcher in the game arguably.

Nolan is the only one but a couple FS guys are close. That being said, I'm basing this off of the Cy Young cards already in the game. Price had 7.4 H/9 in 2012- 87 H/9 in game. Keuchel and Smoltz had an identical 7.1 H/9 in their Cy Young seasons- both 91 H/9 in game. Robbie Ray? 7.0 H/9 last year, 95 in game. Pedro had 5.9 H/9 in 1997. I also don't like to pretend SDS is screwing these guys on purpose with hand picked attributes when they clearly get put into a calculator. What series is chosen is the only think SDS screws them over with

Randy has also been available since day 1. I that’s a long time for a card to still be used as a measuring stick, he might remain top 5 Pitcher for the rest of the year TBH. Outlier fastball 5 pitch mix good stuff-Control at P5 his a Unit pun intended .
-
I just want to know why the 1997 pedro and not 1999. He was a better pitcher in 99. Dude won 23 game and only gave up 9 HR which striking out 313. He did have more innings in 97 to go with more CG shut outs and better ERA. I think he could be a good card
