Why do the Season Award Program?

THIS IS HOW THEY DO THEUR RATINGS!
My point out of all of this is: SDS PURPOSELY gimped his card by giving him low clutch and vision. It's to control the power creep. They don't want to give out a free S tier HOF-Lefend program card that will be on everyone's team for months.
First, just because you put it in Caps and add an exclamation point does not make it fact. I don't believe their card ratings are anywhere near that simplified. Based on past streams in previous years we know that they weight attributes differently based on position. SS, 2B and CF have defense playing a bigger part in their overall rating than say a first baseman. Power is weighted more for corner positions.
As for the second part, I am not sure anyone here would dispute that. I think we all realize that they will tweak attributes on non-live cards to reach the overall rating that they want to achieve. Just look at Topps now cards. That is why the Trout and Ohtani cards from week 1 are 88s and the most recent Topps Now cards are 90. When we get to week 8 they will probably be 92 overall cards on the low end.
I am not sure what the point is of all these math posts. What's wrong with saying what everyone else in the community has been saying for years when they do not like a released card, which is simply "I don't like this card. I'd rather use <insert player name>'s card".

@Tadow9 I agree that this makes no sense!

@Shauwn I'm really tired of seeing you do nothing but complain, like why even play bro?

I have Topps Now Lawrence Butler on my Buxton team as a platoon bat ⊠Other than that, no one fits my preferences ⊠But that is not a new thing. Topps Now cards (from the Monthly programs) are awful for many years in a row now :).
The new thing this year is that season awards are not the same as the monthly program guys. That is because it follows the power creep agenda (which does not indicate, that it is a good card we got
) -
@YOSHI24
Yeah surprisingly good card. He has 117 or so Clutch and works with Buxton boost. -
These programs are pretty easy to complete and in multiple ways. Its nice picking and choosing which path to go and what to ignore. Now I can even mix in the cards and apply them to team affinity killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
I rake with Witt Jr. Live series and now with this program gem coming right when I'm grinding AL Central in team affinity, it's even better.

While I am not a fan of the cards in packs and us not getting a pack in the programs, there are so much easier this year which is a relief for me

I understand some what where the OP is coming from ...in years past the lightning card was always phenomenal ...every month the card was one of the best cards ...this witt is a mid card but no where near how glitchy and good the past POTM cards have been...thats my only complaint ..is seems to me the POTM is a back burner content and not top notch like it used to be

@JayJonez187

This person gets it.
The lightning card art looks amazing, but the overall meta stats are lacking to be considered as a top tier card.
The only ppl who disagrees are those who don't play online competitively.Most competitive online gamers will still use Betts, Seager, Banks, and even Aurillia, Story, or Cabrera over Witt.
In my non Captain boost God squad, I'm using Aurillia. He doesn't have the speed Witt has, but his quirks and hitting stats, excluding the 76 power are better, and he's just a 93...

@Shauwn

âïžAnyone who chooses to use Witt, more power to ya.
I plan on using him in Events with my girl today. She actually likes the card and thinks he's the best SS in game with his speed, fielding, and hitting. She argued with me that he's the perfect leadoff hitter and I'm crazy, lol. -

This guy among other streamers who are playing on Legend like me say the same thing.
Why couldn't SDS give him 90-95 Clutch, and 80 vision? These numbers actually matter on higher difficulties.
In events with my girl he is 2 for 2 with a hr his 1st ab and a single.
Playing him on allstar will be fun for anyone. He will mash. But on HOF and Legend, very few is using him.
The top ss options on Legend are: Seager, Betts, Banks, Aurillia, and Story kinda surprisingly. -
@Shauwn whats your main accounts name?

Says clutch isnât high enough then says Aurilia is a top SS option with 89 clutch, youâre just out here trying to find something to be upset about, have fun on âyour girlsâ account lol
