Why do the Season Award Program?

These calculations just don’t make sense
We’ll agree to disagree because Witt Jr is a good card. For this point in the game, his free 95 is good no matter what type of formulas you try to use to justify your view of the card
In no world does a 95 with his attributes equate to an 83 lmao

That's literally the proper way to determine the overall rating of a card.
But what you're trying to say is, math is wrong. It's like, say if Witt went 4 for 4 with 4 homeruns in one game. Then the announcer says, with that 4 for 4 day, Witt is now hitting .345. Then you argue by saying, but he had 4 hits and is hitting .1000. It don't make sense he's only hitting .345......
The .345 is the overall average "formula" determined based on his at bats and OVERALL hits. Not what he did in one day.Every number matters in hitting. His batting vs RH, LH, power, vision, clutch, etc.
If the card says 95, the average numbers should show that.
U say it's free. I love hearing this. The card is not free. You have to use your time invested to grind to get the card. What u mean to say Is, it's easy to grind and get. Which would absolutely be true, and I do not disagree.
However, the points you make still does not change the "FACT" the card is an 88 overall rated card, not a 95. -

On top of that, his hitting attributes are good for people that are even semi-talented in this game considering the vast majority of the player base in DD plays on all star. Those that reach HOF and legend in ranked don’t need massive PCIs to be successful.
Secondly, who cares about discipline? What does that even affect?
You’re the first and only person to use this “math” to try and calculate cards and it’s flawed at best
-
I did it for the cards and XP, I wouldn't use Witt anyway, but now I can if I choose

I did the full calculations for hitting, fielding, and even included his speed to bump his rating. There are 50 rated cards with 99 speed, so speed does not even calculate with the overall rating.
The overall rating of a card is determined by average numbers of the players overall hitting and fielding.
SDS gives a card it's (((OWN RATING))) and calculates the stats based on a computer algorithm reflecting the player's overall performance based on his actual stats.No one is questioning his great 99 speed and hitting stats being considered nice.
What I'm pointing out is the FACT the overall rating shows a 95, whereas the math does NOT add up to 95. It's an 88, meaning the card rating of 95 is not accurate based on simple overall stats on the card.If you can't see it, then please go back to 3rd grade.
It's funny how stupid people argue when they can't see the truth for themselves.Ok, here's a fun project I'd like you to try. It's very simple. How many actual stats = 95+ on his card? How many stats are less than 95? If the numbers less than 95 are more than those that are 95 +, then do you believe the card deserves a 95 overall rating? That's all I'm going to say. Lol smh.
-
You’re not the sharpest tool in the shed huh?
-
They gave Luisangel Acuña higher clutch, vision, and fielding than a MVP candidates Lightning card lol.
-
-
Speed does play into the overall rating of a card
-
Different ratings are weighted differently based on the position a player plays, haven’t you wondered why if you go into franchise mode and change a position their overall rating will change without changing any of their attributes?
-
Vision is almost irrelevant to anyone that understands the game, contact and clutch are much more important and his is fine. Overall a good early game card that I will probably use.

I mean, I've been using Captain Dansby Swanson at SS, with the Buxton boost, and I'm probably going to just keep using him. He has about the same hitting stats with better clutch and better fielding.
Maybe the boosts are to blame for not being excited, but Witt doesn't get any aside from Royals TT. He's not bad, he's just not exciting the way Lightning cards usually are. -

He's not bad, he's just not exciting the way Lightning cards usually are.He's literally the 7th best option at ss, and is the highest rated card. SDS is a joke. 84 Willie Castro is better with the Buxton boost in regards to hitting. How disappointing.
-
Agree or disagree with Shauwn, but at least this post is not as boring as "this game sucks" lol
That said, I'll come back to it on Monday. I'm not doing math on the weekend
-
JFC these whining posts are out of control. For the millionth time - It’s a game, It’s entertainment…If you’re not enjoying the grind, the setup, the gameplay, whatever…Then play something else. Nobody is forcing you to play & nobody cares lol. Seriously, Go find another game - There are SO MANY choices, Why play a game you hate everything about?
-
I respect the thought process. I will point out that some the of hitting numbers have a max at 125 and not 100. I'm sure that has to factor into the algorithm here, yea?

Why do the season award program?
A. Because its content and thats what most of us look for when playing the game.
B. Because the lower tier cards now are used for collections and getting higher tier cards later on.
C. Both A and B.

All the above, I have no problems with this game. It's still fun to play and I definitely enjoy doing mini seasons and the nation of baseball conquest map on repeat

Of course I still did the program. It took 20 minutes. That's not the actual reason for creating this thread.
I created it to show how disappointed I am with how bad SDS waters down these cards.
I like Witt, I'd like to use Witt. I want Witt to be that guy for my WS run.
I'm merely pointing out things other ppl may not see. Then I get bashed for it?
Once again, Witt is a 95 overall rated card with 88 overall rated stats. If ya'll are content and fine with that, then by all means slot him in your lineup.
Foe me, it's disappointing bc as a 95 overall card, it sucks. 60's vision and 84 clutch is just bad at a competitive level. If u use this card at 700+ then I respect that!
I won't be using him simply bc his card is not good enough.
I'd rather use Cpt Dansby, Willie Castro, Rich Aurillia, Trevor Story, Ernie Banks, and Corey Seager.
I would much rather see Witt as a top ss option, but he just isn't. -
Then why say anything about the program to begin with if you were just gonna do it anyway, if you don't like the way the game is this year then don't play and certainly don't complain about everything little thing on it

I consistently see this "then dont play" bs comment. The OP, while I may not agree with, is stating something that he wants SDS to read because he want to play the game, but he wants it to improve. SDS does not want anyone with a complaint to just play something else either. Stop with this BS response that seems logical only to the ignorant. I also do not like the way the game is this year. I am still going to play it and complain about whatever about it I do not like so that the game improves. Deal with it.

Why do people post on these forums at all? To be heard and get feedback from the community.
It seems most of you don't agree with how disappointing Witt's 95 lightning card is. And you know what? That's fine. You're entitled to your own opinion. Most of those who disagree are offline gamers who have a hard time against the CPU on allstar. These gamers don't understand what meta and top tier means simply bc they don't play competitively online. Which is also fine.
If I sucked and only played on rookie/veteran against the cpu, I probably would react the same way as many of u.I wouldn't understand my own argument, and I'd probably tell myself to go play another game, don't do the program, don't use Witt, and go kick rocks.
I honestly wouldn't even know how stupid I'd sound, simply bc I wouldn't understand the argument. -

I would much rather see Witt as a top ss option, but he just isn't.You are not, in all of those cases, comparing apples to apples.
Comparing a card with a boost to a card without a boost is not a fair comparison. As for those players with 90+ cards that you would prefer that is perfectly acceptable.
But let's also not overlook the fact that not everyone has all of those cards to choose from.
- Rich Aurilia requires 120 Season 1 cards to be collected.
- Ernie Banks was a Ranked Season reward that is roughly 25K on the market
- Corey Seager is a live series 90 overall card that costs roughly 90K on the market
- Captain Dansby requires you to use one of your (currently) limited captain choices on him.
- Willie Castro was a Battle Royale reward and requires the Buxton Boost to be comparable
- Trevor Story requires 535K of XP on the reward path
I think it is safe to say that your average player has, at best, only 1 or 2 of those choices. Or if they are like me they have none of those cards yet. For most of us Witt Jr is the best shortstop that is easily attainable for us simply by committing a little time to the weekly drops programs.
Your theory that every lightning card should be the clear winner when comparing shortstops is the surefire way to have no lineup diversity, where every team you face will have Witt Jr at SS.
