Best part of Jeter being in the game...

I agree with you. I don't even know how long I have been playing this game as this point, too long probably haha. But every year the god cards get introduced earlier and earlier. I honestly wish there was a system like Madden with salary cap so that by June we aren't seeing the same lineups on every team. Then release all the cards you want to but at least make it challenging to build a lineup haha.

While I think he’s being a baby I don’t think he’s wrong about Jeters speed. The game is different now, steals are rare nowadays. Steals also don’t necessarily equal speed. Jeter should probably max around 80 speed if they want to be generous. His best card will probably be able to reach 90 thoI'm a sim guy, so Future Stars and Topps Now cards make me want to puke.
In my opinion the gameplay has fallen off and they've added way too many cards just so they can make people do tedious tasks to keep them "engaged".

If he was an iron worker I'd understand it a little better

Jeter literally averaged 21 steals per season. There were only 20 guys in all of baseball last year with 21 steals or more. If you want to be mad about fake cards and fake attributes, direct it towards the Future Star cards.

Call me when Bonds, Sosa and Clemens are added.
Tired of these fake cards with fake attributes.
Derek Jeter was a shortstop for the New York Yankees baseball team. He wasn't Batman nor any other superhero for that matter.
He was a light hitting defensive shortstop in real life, but will have power and speed in this game for some reason.
I miss sim baseball. This game is turning into Fortnite. It's why they're pushing Japanese anime and this cartoon stuff.
JETER WAS NOT FAST.

I’m a Union Ironworker and a lifelong Yankee fan and I have no issue with Jeter on top of a building.
I do take issue with “light hitting defensive shortstop”. The Jeter hate is so ridiculous. It makes me wonder if many of you have actually followed baseball for any appreciable amount of time. He is an all-time great player. He did everything on the field and was as cool/calm a player that came through clutch time and time again.

Except put the team ahead of his own ego when ARod joined the roster.

By not giving up shortstop? You think that cost the team Championships? If anything it probably prolonged Arod’s career since he dealt with injuries later on.

Here’s where I miss counting stats. I get it, advanced Sabre Metrics are important. Sure, they make reading a baseball article akin to a calculus paper and completely rob the sport of its romanticism, but they give us things like launch angle and the shift. Maybe I’m old, but I miss looking at a baseball card to see how many RBIs a guy had or how many times he touched home plate. Not an OPS+ that requires Will Hunting to figure out the equation.
Jeter is 6th all time in hits. 6th. For all the players who have stood in a major league batter’s box in the last 140+ years, there are 5 people with more hits than Derek Jeter. 5!!!!! This should be the end of the debate on whether he was a great player. But if more is needed. He has 5 rings. In modern baseball, that is Brady Esque. He’s 10th all time in Runs. These are not negligible stats.
Is he the GOAT? Of course not. But he was a star player in the biggest market and all he did there was win, hit and score.

Very well said. This logical way of looking at it is lost on many people.

Jeter played for 20 years and only twice did he lead shortstops in offensive WAR.
Buddy wasn't even the best shortstop on the team....
He did lead the league in giving famous women STD's tho

@mubby_33_PSN said in Best part of Jeter being in the game...:
people can stop complaining that he is not in the game. I feel like everytime SDS announces a new legend player everyone clamors over Jeter. Now the question is who is the love child that everyone will want next?
Until they complain that SDS 'did him dirty'.

6th in Hits all time. That’s all that needs to be said. Again, not the greatest ever but dude had more hits than every other major league hitter in history other than Pete Rose, Ty Cobb, Stan Musial, Hank Aaron and Tris Speaker. He also won 4 more rings than ARod and 5 more than Nomar and Tejada.
I don’t understand why it’s either he’s highly overrated or he’s the GOAT. He is neither. He was a great player who won a lot, hit a lot and scored a lot.

Please give me the list of SS who played 20 years at SS and had a career batting avg over .300.
You hate him, we get it.

One thing you absolutely do love...complaining. Sheesh.

True.

Also True.

Can't confirm, but irrelevant for SDS's purposes.
(Kind of. So long, Kirby Puckett!)Will Jeter be the worst legend in the game? Absolutely not! At least so long as Harold Baines and Huston Street still draw breath. But he's not an inner-circle Mantle/Ruth/Mays guy and never was.
-
While I dont think he will play great in the game but he did play the game well and the right way. You never saw him doing controversial things. Never linked to PED never ruined a players career cough Machado cough. He did play hard when the games counted ie diving into the stands for the ball. ARod was more worried about breaking a nail.
With that being said he is not the GOAT. Even at shortstop I would say that would be Wagner. I am a Red Sox fan and I think Jeter was a great player.

Quite a massive list. Basically a dime a dozen shortstop.

20 years ago, no one cared about WAR. I still don't and am a baseball lifer.
What Jeter being on also means is that people that frown on video games are going to take a closer look, I think, and maybe convert. -

20-25. A Full Roster seems right and appropriate, no?
and where in this post did anyone say he is as Legendary as those guys?
You yourself called him an "all-time great player [who] did everything on the field". Maybe it's just semantics, but it sounded like you were placing him in the highest of echelons which I don't think he qualifies for.

I just want to talk to the guy who was arguing that Jeter wouldn't sell more copies of the game.
The same Jeter who unveiled his cover on national television last night with millions watching.
