Ozzie Smith 99 power?

Maybe players that are more defensive orientated will be more appreciated once the shift gets banned next year.
I'm real life, sure. Almost everyone at higher levels in this game already has the shift turned off
-
Did they give Ozzie catcher secondary? I mean, why not??
-
I find it funny that so many people are focused on this. This game has so many inflated/fake attributes. It hasn't been realistic for a long time.
They've made the game pretty much all about power so it only makes sense that they at least give us a usable Ozzie card.
-
I'll continue to say it but if you don't complain about made up attributes for Future Stars cards or ridiculously buffed Topps Now cards for single game performances then it is kind of late to start complaining now.
Just consider Ozzie's card a Topps Now card for one of the games where he did hit a HR. I would say Game 5 of the 1985 NLCS but that was against a rightie.
I'd also venture to guess that the only people who will use this card are Cardinal fans who would prefer to use it on their theme team over a Future Star who has not played a game above AA yet.
-
Power attribute is not determined by home runs.it is by iso pwr (slg minus avg) which counts all XBH. That being said his iso's are pretty low too, even the splits.
but i have to wonder why it matters, any who are stating their "dislike" wouldnt have given him any ABs anyway. (no matter what his attributes looked like) -
If the almighty Jordan Walker with his 107/120 power and 0 MLB at-bats can exist then so can a juiced Ozzie Smith. Time to stop overthinking a fantasy mode in a video game.
If nobodies can be made into studs so should legitimate Hall of Famers.

No but if they give everyone secondaries now they should’ve given Schwarber catcher secondary.

It makes about as much sense as some of the secondary positions they gave to some of the program cards.
In no world ever should a guy with 28 HR over a 19 year career have 99 power.
And Pudge and Posada shouldn’t have 2B eligibility. I don’t disagree with you, I'm just saying both have the same degree of ridiculousness.
At least they’ve played at least an inning there. Lindor hasn’t played anywhere but SS majors or minors but still has 2B and 3B as secondaries
But this is the way secondaries should actually be handled. An athletic shortstop like Lindor can without a doubt play 2nd or 3rd. Even though he never plays elsewhere, those are his “secondary” positions. Pudge and Posada have it slapped on there is just because someone was able to go read Baseball Reference and go “oh Jorge played an inning there and Pudge played two”. Just because someone played an inning or even a game somewhere, does not mean it was there secondary position and just because someone never plays a different position doesn’t mean they don’t have a secondary.

You can’t have it both ways, either they played it and have a secondary or they didn’t and they shouldn’t. There should be a cut off of innings or something 1 inning or 4 innings shouldn’t justify giving a secondary. Ripken’s finest doesn’t have a secondary and he was athletic enough to start and end his career at 3B.

He has 99 power and that speed and fielding? Thank you, SDS

Because fielding does not matter.
In strat o matic these guys would be a 5 and make errors on fielding checks at a 70% rate.Not here.
Insanity. -
He gets 99 power, because Pedro gets 103mph, because if you win a batting contest you get 125 power, because contact hitters and pitch to contact pitchers don’t matter.
They can’t balance the game properly

I get what you’re saying, but the season Walker is having in AA, as a 20 yo, is pretty special. Future Stars are real people - a lot of them will be stars…in the future lol. Sure, some of them won’t pan out, but I would bet Walker will be one of the ones that will.

Living in the middle of Cards Cubs country I ve seen countless games as a kids. Only HR I ever remember Ozzie hitting was his game 5 walkoff, Go Crazy Folks. That of course was off a right hander and barely cleared the fence. So not sure how they got power vs left. But to answer your second question, yes, most usable Ozzie card ever. Irl he was known for defense and speed and could slap the ball around the diamond and turn them into doubles. Playing on the old turf in St Louis definitely helped. So great person for sure gall of famer his skills just don't translate to dymond dynasty very well.
I never got to seen Ozzie play in person. I usually went to Yankees games; and of course, that was before inter league play. Which I disliked when the leagues used different rules. I have watched a young star pitcher lose his career because he had to hit, got on base, then ruined his leg running the bases. Though I am not here for that. Anyway, Ozzie was super athletic. Those backflips or whatever they are called were just fun and a sign of his energy and athleticism.

Don’t be a hater. You don’t have to use him. There are so many cards in the program.

I agree that it’s strange for Ripken not to have a third baseman secondary. It was a major factor in his longevity. He was a good playing at third.

It's because the card is based on 1984 and he played every game at SS.

Oh, I honestly forgot his card was a RF. Good point. I don’t use his card because I like more speed on my SS. People were complaining about Posada having a 2B, so I was only thinking of the LotF.

If being athletic enough to play other positions is the requirement then shouldn't every player have 1B as a secondary? Mo Vaughn played first base and I'm sure that every other MLB player is more athletic than him. Probably give every player the corner outfield secondary too.
