Well let’s see what else they’ve come up with this year…. Incognito, cool art, dumb that their names don’t show up in game. Kaiju, ok I guess but the fantasy monsters and dragons aren’t for me.
You’re guess is as good as mine but based off those 2, I’d assume it’s directed at teenagers or younger.
I wish they’d stick to the basics. Rookie, All-Star, Veteran, Topps, Awards… we don’t need more card types, we less imo.
With incognito and kaiju, I assumed they were going for Heroes and villains but didn't want to call players villains or monsters so went for a type of monster that doesn't conjure up thoughts of OJ and Aaron Hernandez (first two athletes that came to mind) Then we'd be making fun of them like the Juicy packs a couple years ago.
-
I would assume set 4 will be a lot of juiced up legends. Endgame versions of cards that appeared before like Honus, Clemente, Mays etc. Set 5 should be finest so I doubt we see many flashbacks in set 4 since I believe every team will get at least one finest card in set 5.

I just want so see a card or two, some hype

Maybe it will be a 5 tool player series called Blue Collars or something like that.
...what?
Blue Collars are the opposite of 5 Tool Guys: guys that don't have the depth of talent or skill but get by on "grit" and "hustle".
A 5 Tool Guy would be A-Rod or Acuna.
A Blue Collar Guy would be someone like Max Muncy or Joe Musgrove.Good point Farris. I was just struggling with a name for a 5 tool player series.

Easy - the "Ennui" series. All your favorite players, 95 overall. Dull gray artwork. Perfect for the dog days of summer.

Was just thinking that. The last two years (I can’t speak to years prior to that) they were dropping card announcements a week in advance. We are 3 days out and all they’ve said was “season 4 is coming”. Then again, hype isn’t always a good thing. Anyone remember WCW- The Shockmaster?
-
New series we be called Best in Show (get it because they are the best legend cards in mlb the show) i'll let myself out.
-
To teach everyone not to complain they’ll go with the Retro Series and everyone will be rated under 90 since 99s at launch triggered so many snowflakes.

That would be the best way to get a ton of people to quit for good this year.

I will resurrect my "where is the hype for Set 3" thread. @SaveFarris_PSN loved that one 🤪

set 4 will be the finest set, set 5 will be post season.
It won’t be finest because it says new card series with a camera emoji and plus finest will more than likely be set 6.

Why would set 4 be finest? The MLB season still has another month to go at least, Finest dosn't normally come out until the end of October. Set 4 will be legends.

I mean, what happened to the clues they would drop? It’s like they know they’ve lost half their player base and got rid of their summer Twitter interns

Agreed, 3 days to go and we have heard almost nothing out of SDS. Also not sure if i'm the only one but the market seems dead latley, could be that everyone has left.
-
Never seen the game and it’s a player pool this dead with 5 weeks left in regular season.
SDS has to own this as their own doing.
It’s a bummer.
-
I also think set 4 should be 30/35 days and not 50, thats start speeding these programs up a bit maybe that would help with the content intake as well.

-
The emoji is a classic camera with a flash so my best guess would be a flashback series and possibly like a specific moment for each card or something like that.

Obviously I was being sarcastic. Lol. It has a
emoji so naturally it’s the Stud Series showcasing only the best looking players. 
-
The camera emoji means picture perfect or in other words - highlight reel plays,like the Mays catch at polo grounds or Schmidt's 500th homer..
stuff like that.
