@SuntLacrimae50 fair point. I just figured with the Ranked seasons cards for round two being in the mid-high 90s (can't recall the kirk rating but I know the two WS ones are 97) I just figured the lightning player would be closer to that.case and point- they just announced a 95 overall pipeline card in the newest headliners pack. Kinda makes a 95 lightning player seem weak imo

@BobCarface The stat missions with specific positions can also be accomplished organically through playing once they're the last ones remaining.
-
His Chrisma card last year was a stud I'm all in on this card just in time for me to finish the BR program and move to RS
-
only to be outdone by the 94 Elly they just released in the buyable pack...i swear this company....

I'd rather have Elly than Witt.

It'll be interesting to see how their stats compare. A difference of one overall could be merely a few points off defense for a position of SS. Or their favorite stat to play with - vision.

I'm not complaining Witt got the 1st lightning card. But they could have increased his Vision and Clutch to help match the 95 rating. If you do the math, his hitting stats = an 83 rated card......
His fielding = an 81 card.
With 99 speed.
So that 95 rating is a fraud.
This card is realistically an 82 rates gold card.GG'S SDS! WAY TO WATER DOWN THE FK'N LIGHTNING CARDS!
-
The program cards are gonna be frauds most of the year. Look at the cards from the Jackie Robinson program. They juiced stats like bunting. The hitting stats are mediocre.

The Witt card is better.

I really wish this program was longer. I loved the old format of POTM. It was the one program you could look forward to every month. Pretty disappointed. Of course there’s another pack that could’ve been added to the program too but I guess we should be used to it now. It doesn’t seem like things are going to change. The card I really want it is that Mason Miller but of course he’s the rare round and I’m not buying packs. He’s like a better version of Rob Dibble.
-
Good god that 94 Ellie card sucks. 75 78 vs left with 74 clutch?
no one beyond 400 rating will use him. Those numbers are horrendous. Guess u can make the argument that he's a platoon player at best against righties. Yet he's going for 129k

The program lasts as long as the season...there's more lightening cards coming.
-
@Dolenz64 I agree Bobby is the better card other than the fact that Elly is a switch hitter and that’s it. You didn’t post that Elly has 59 reaction. That’s terrible lol
-
@GixxerRyder750 I know there’s more coming. I was saying I wish this program was longer meaning more to do and more players.
-
@MRAD2010 Also Elly's swing is magic, so even if his ratings are inferior... he mashes.
-
Stat-wise, the Witt card smashes Elly's. Switch hitting and the swing matter, though.
-
@MRAD2010
Yep, and if that 59 was under "Vision" instead of "Reaction", then that would make this card more desirable... As it stands, I still like the other Cruz better. -
Ignore me, I’m stupid.

I 100% agree. POTM was my favorite program every year. And you got to do it six different times per game. Now we get four “Season Awards” drops per month that take like 30 minutes each to complete. Not nearly as fun.
