    Smoltz is worse, LS Strasburg is worse, LS Flaherty is worse. Remember diamond does not equal good. Unless they are 90+ I wouldn’t complain that a card isn't good, because alot of 85-89 diamonds aren’t

    Smoltz is 100x better. For the pitcher that Maddux was this card does him no justice

    My experience is total opposite. Maddux has been great for me. Way more options for sequence variety w/ his pitches. I've had a lot of success with him.

    Maddux has been great for me too. Not too fond of his sinker/off-speed focused repertoire. Typically I don't like pitchers that rely on the sinker for strike 1. But he's been worth the pick. Glavine is excellent so far, too.

    Guys who don’t throw 98-100 in this game are basically useless. Sorry, it’s true.

    You’re right, and unfortunately I didn’t know that when I got it at midnight on the pre launch. It sucks that the specialty type pitchers aren’t worth a darn.

    Yep, that’s why I knew Mariano Rivera would be useless once this game. Sucks, but it’s true.

    Weird, both Rivera and Maddux have been excellent for me.

    When they do a prime or awards or SS Maddux, I'm sure it will be filthy. The control and BB/9 would be maxed out, with absolutely disgusting movement on his 2 seamer and change

    Maddux has been awesome for me too. I don't think any of my starters throw above 95 and I don't have an issue minimizing runs. Movement and location are more important to me.

    It was easy to predict that Maddux/Glavine would be useless, just because of their pitch speeds. It’s probably the only thing this game can’t recreate online: the crafty Maddux, Moyer, Rueter, that Jays guy that threw 50% CH 3-4 years ago. Smoltz is useful-ish because of his FB, but that slider hangs A LOT.

    Coming from a Braves fan, I cried when I sold him. He averaged lik 5 IP and minimum 3 hr allowed per start online for me.

    Just wait until an signature or prime Maddux comes out. I dont know why everyone is worring about a card that is literally meant to start your silver teams the first week. Put it this way. The special edition 1/30 bob feller was HORRIBLE last year. His sig series was one of the best pitchers in the game. Once the braves big 3 have 99 versions they will be good. A good pitch selection is all you need in the upper tiers. Look at Sergio Romo for example from last year. These cards are easy to hit because of trash Per/9s, not because the dont have the velocity. People say that every single year that a pitcher needs velocity to be good online. That could not be farther from the truth. Also I fully expect pitching to be tweaked by the time the good versions of these cards release

    I do pretty good with Maddux. Jury is still out on Smoltz, hit & miss. Haven't picked up Glavine yet.

    Bit they do need it; this year hr/9 doesn’t affect H2H so games of Kershaw throwing everything down the pipe with little to no consequence won’t happen

    He was still a top 3 pitcher after the HR/9 change. The reason people got rocked with him at the end of the year is because people faced him so many times it didn't matter. In 17 AND 18, where HR/9 didn't matter. The best non Knuckle ball pitchers were Orel Hershiser both games. Sure, flamethrowers are always the best pitchers early on, but thats usually because of lack of Sinker/cutter pitchers that are high rated and an extreme lack of high vision batters to use
