I hate 99s.....

Everytime, every year I replace my players with a 99 version only to seriously regret it. This year my 95 Betts has .286 and 48 home runs. My 99 Betts has started 1-16. My Larry Walker was batting 316 with 26 home runs, 99 Walker, .091 0 Hrs. After I put 95/98 Walker back in, 1st game he hit 2 home runs. It just doesn't make sense, I've had the same experience every year I play this game. I lost 4 straight games after adding 99 Betts and Walker. Both are now out of my lineup and Walker was a rage sell. I'll never upgrade a card again just because he's a 99. Btw, average the numbers, how do they even come up with 99?

Is either the lower rated Betts or Walker P4 or P5?

I mean, you probably had rough stretches with all your lower versions to. Perhaps you just didn't have it today

That happens a lot, I tend to always start with .0-- averages when I just get a card, but give it some time and I'll have them up to .250-.350 (pretty much my BA) Prime example for me was Cano, I started like 0-20 (probably an exaggeration but that's how it felt) with him and he's .310 now for me

Yea I can relate forsure! 1-12 with 99 Kendal only got a hit with a lazy bunt cause I was trying anything lol bright side though he has not struck out lol mean while my 95 Bart is hitting my .350 on the pine

It sounds like you’re saying you have 99 problems, and a Betts is one.

Maybe you need 99 1/2's or 100 overalls 🤪

I tend to be very impatient with new copies of players I am very comfortable with.

My entire batting approach is better when I foul off more pitches early w contact swing.

That is when I finally find my sweetspot
