@nflman2033 18 the best cards required an inane amount of grinding plus you had to collect useless items like bobble heads, uniforms that you couldn't even wear etc. That game required a lot of grinding, Finest cards in that game weren't even 99's. Dont let you recency bias trick you.
Oh I remember. I made mass stubs from selling Souvenirs. All I has to do was exchange the crappy Souvenirs for teams that didn't have players to use them on to get packs of Souvenirs, there was about 5 or 6 teams that had insane market prices I sold those on the market after I used them to unlock the players. I unlocked everyone pretty quickly.
The stat grinding was a lot, but it made me have to keep playing since I only play CPU. And I absolutely hate Moments, the only thing I hate more than Moments is Showdown. Even to this day I mostly get through programs by stat grinding rather than moments and Showdown. But like I said I accept I am in the minority.

I honestly don't think we'll be getting 30 99 overalls in team affinity, we haven't even gotten 98s yet. I could see the cards being 97s and once you complete each division you can get a 99. I think we'll be getting 3 to 6 99 overalls, which is better than what we have now, but I'm not optimistic.

I was skeptical myself but someone said they already revealed 3 of the cards and they were 99's of Edgar and forget the other two.

I also hate showdowns and would rather grind Stat missions

@blitz77tw it was edgar (Mariners), Blake Trienen (As) and Ian Kinsler (Rangers)
-
@Ms740929 I hope youre right. I mean with the way this game is going, I wouldn't be surprised if these reveals are going to be in "team affinity packs"
-
@n1panchal we've gotten 60 free TA cards, stop acting like we don;t get free cards.
-
@n1panchal They are all 99s. It was already announced in the stream and the 3 cards they have revealed so far were all 99s.
-
thank God, I hope I'm wrong. my argument is that the best cards in packs and sds wants everything to be on a paywall, I don't care if we get 60 Or 600 cards, none are better than the ones that are in packs. the only packs I bought this year are the Santana and Ortiz captain, only because these can be on endgame and God squads
-
@n1panchal I disagree. There are definitely some free cards that are better than the cards in packs in my opinion. Cards are about more than just their overall rating.

You mean, the cards with the highest overall rating are in packs, which is still only partially true. The highest overall rated cards released so far are in collections and the XP Reward path.
The “best” cards are really up to the user. Just because the rating is higher, doesn’t make it better. It’s how you do with it.

I would say 80 to 90% of the Better / best cards are locked behind the shop and other means. This is a FACT and your still a homer but whatever -- you do you.

@blitz77tw “higher overall rating” cards. You’re missing the point. They’re not better, they have a higher overall rating. Is 89 Chris Sale the best pitcher in the game? He’s my best pitcher online, but there are cards with a higher overall rating. Are those cards better? Not to me.

We agree to disagree and I am done trying to talk common sense to homers cause you find a way to make what SDS is doing is alright when it's not. Your right in one sense some players can make "lesser" cards work but I bet and I could be wrong but I bet most of the "Top" players have at least 3 to 5 of the shop cards in the lineup right now.
Prove me wrong and I will Shut the BEEP up about this .....
-
@blitz77tw the top players also have Gold Willi Castro in their lineups. Almost all of them.

This is your comeback to me -- one card that I even said players can make "lesser" cards work so thanks for proving my point on that but you still have not proven your point. I know IF you decide to prove me wrong it will take some time and I will wait cause I am patient ....
-
@blitz77tw my comeback to you is touch grass. 462 hours logged for you.

I have the game on right now but not playing -- I have played a lot but not that much but I know that is what is logged for me cause i do leave it running while doing other things. However even IF that number is true and again it's not in terms of actual play but you not willing to even debate me proves my point. -- thanks homer

AL East cards all look good

Lacks a little in terms of name value no real big names but I do like the players just wish we had ONE -- big name but it's early just talking about AL east.
I like Roberts I think he will be a little like the Rollins cards w/o power near maxed , Boggs is a great hitter but again I would be surprised if his power is above 70 ish but a solid start. I think that Miller card could be on and again do not play much online yet plan on getting more into it soon but will be on a lot of players benches.
