Future Stars Hate
-
I like getting to know some of these names. I think it's cool when they make their MLB debuts if you have some connection to them. Garrett Mitchell has been one of my best players this year and he got called up this past series.

I’m ok with it, and I have some issues with it. At the end of the day die hard fans who know their team know the future of the franchise and get to play with them today. My frustrations like everyone is why are they better than a 99 Griffey? But with that said my buy order for Fransisco Alverez just completed. He’s going to catcher for a bit
Also to be fair there are some legends that have 99 cards and I get it is for that moment. But let’s be real a finest Brian Roberts 99, he was a very good player but elite? No

Yea I’m ok with with it. I wonder if there rights are cheaper than legends or the same. Gunner Henderson hit a home run last night in his debut. Some of these guys are going to be good players.
I don't think SDS has to get their rights, like they do with legends, because they are part of the MLBPA

If nothing else it keeps the game fresh with new faces. Otherwise everyone would have the same team of legends and current superstars. One thing to consider is the trend in baseball prospects is more 5 tool players. Obviously a video game favors these guys with not just hitting but speed and defense.
Everyone still does have the same team of superstars and legends, now they just all get to add the same two FS cards to their line ups. It’s not their fault, SDS creates a META, so in order to stay competitive everyone has the same META line up and rotation. Scrap the arcade attributes and the stupid quirks e.g. outlier and you would start to see more line up diversity.

I don't think it has anything to do with rights being cheaper. With minor leaguers being included in the game as of MLB 19 or 20 at launch its easier to use these guys and instead of having to wait for a promo we can get these guys throughout the year.
Brett Baty for example has a common LS card in the game (I haven't checked to see if it was upgraded following his debut) and I'm positive other players much like him had LS cards in the game prior to their MLB debuts.
-
I like them. FS, AS, and MA have been my favorite cards this year. I think bc they are unique cards that will not reappear year after year other than a few flashbacks. Some people act like they just want to use the same 9 cards year after year

So I’ve seen a lot of hate about how many future stars they keep adding to the game, and I understand the argument that they’re better than most current players and legends cards. I just grabbed the Corbin Carroll headliner from the free scouting report pack and he’s instantly been better than Griffey and Mantle were for me. After I unlocked Carroll I saw the video of him running around the bases like Usain Bolt. Oneil Cruz God card drops then he exit velos his way into the record books. It’s exciting seeing new guys burst onto the scene and why not give them a little juice as an intro.
Problem is that they give them major juice not just a little. They could make a card for every minor leaguer for all I care but they should not be rated higher than anyone in the HOF. FS shouldn't be higher than a 90 IMO.

I don't care to use them. They are just filler for the game anyway to me. Part of a collection to get Brett or McCutchen.

I don’t hate them. I also see a purpose for them to get people be aware of the stars on the rise. A lot of people just know the superstars in baseball. That being said I do think their stats are a little unreal. More than a little actually. Kinda glad they are boosted though because no one wants cards that are unusable.

Some of these guys are already better than Harold Baines, and he’s in the HOF. Under your rules, we have to wait 30 years for a useable Gunner Henderson card? That’s crazy talk

Same thing goes for all the Rookie cards, why use a bronze Halliday when you can use his 95? It's all for the collections.

That's not really a good example. We all know Baines does not deserve to be in the HOF. The writers got it right not voting him in. Played 22 years mostly at DH and still didn't get 3K hits or 500 HR's. His longevity got him in and nothing else. So yeah there are guys better than him playing now. They are even a position player too
-
Here is what I have learned over the last few years. It is very unlikely you will convince Future Stars haters to like the card or FS lovers to start hating the cards.
I think both side look at these cards from a completely different viewpoint.
I am a Cardinals fan but you won't convince me that Masyn Winn deserves a higher card than Ozzie smith. Or that Jordan Walker should have better hitting attributes than the current best cards for Pujols and Musial.

I mean it's about how they'll play in the "future"... I don't recall how many years into the future it's supposed to be put I'd imagine the legends and presumably the 99s for current players will still be the best cards in the game.
-
I used to look the other way at Future Stars cards, but then Elly De La Cruz came along!
I still don't look for them for my team, but 2 or 3 sprinkled in isn't bad. I use the Cruz Brothers, lol and Corbin Caroll, who i got miraculously in a Flatliners pack but that's it. -
@romeischillin said in Future Stars Hate:

Only if the gods smile upon them and sugarplum fairies bless their bats.
I think there are like eight 99 overall future stars in the game. None of these guys is the next Trout or Pujols.

De la Cruz might be the best budgetbeast in the game and Corbin is nuts for me. Over .500 batting average and gets a home run almost every game.

Ok so because you don't care to use them they shouldn't make them usable?
