Do you guys think the Buxton captain card needs to be nerfed?

    IMO it's pretty OP and I feel like 90% of people are gonna be running a Buxton team since a lot of the best free cards right now from the Breakout Program are low vision. This makes the game have less variety and choice. Maybe he will be more balanced once stronger cards come out? +15 Power vs L and R, 10 speed and 10 fielding just seems insane

    I have Buxton and I'm hitting .450 in ranked with him but. I've played 10 ranked games now and have only played against him 1 time so i doubt it's to big of a problem.. If a bunch of ppl read this post they could go exchange for him if they haven't already added to collection though

    I only play against the CPU. For me, he's awful. I can't hit with him.
    Posada on the other hand....,I'd cry if they nerfed him. Haha

    Not at all, it's made playing with LS way more entertaining during the TA grind

    I only have the Gold Bux, since I took Senga as my Cornerstone. He probably wont get a better card this season. His boosts pitchers with under 65 BB9. I kind of wish I could've picked Buxton, though!
    Why nerf it? Have cards boosts ever been nerfed before?

    you can go into exchanges and swap between the cornerstones whenever you want. You just have to make sure that they aren't in any of your lineups first

    Have you checked everywhere, and left any stones unturned?
    Sorry. It's 4am eastern and I'm in a wacky mood 😜
    Seriously, I had early access and mine didn't show until the 2nd day.

    The only card that was ever overpowered in the game at any point was Reggie Stocker.

    @JDHalfrack I don't know his career numbers off the top of my head, but he plays like someone that has 600 career homers. Which I know, he's not. Lol I hit bombs with him. I'm about 40 games in total and he leads my teams in homers with 14. He's most certainly going to be my first P5 card. And when I say bombs, I mean BOMBS! Out of all his homers, all are 400 feet and more.

    Please do not give SDS this idea cause they are like the fun police when they know were having fun it's time to nerf something so we have to grind more and maybe buy stubs. I know I sound jaded but getting tired of this game already and the fact SDS has yet to say a darn thing.

    SDS wake the BEEP up and fix the issues !!!!!!

    Do you not get the cornerstone Captain pack if you just got the standard version of the game

    IMO they just need more captains that are about as good as he is.

    @Dankmaymays
    Definately NO... His Contact and Vision attributes are too low, so we need those other attributes.

    BTW: The Captain pairings are fun to tinker with. For example, I paired the Twins Pitching Captain (Rogers) with this Bux Cap, which maxed out his Power on both sides. Edouard Julien and Royce Lewis become very usable also (due to the dual Cap stacked attribute boosts).
