@YeahBruv412 More fun ways to build teams is a good thing.
There is 0 reason to use other captains when one captains boost are WAY better than other captain boosts, Its mlb 23 durability boost all over again.
-
@chucky97___ They need more captains that people want to use. That’s the solution, not taking away something fun in a year with little fun to be had.

It caters to casual players, there is 0 thought process when it comes to a switch hitting team, I played a guy in Ranked on hof that pinch hit a Bronze switch hitter for a diamond. Learn how to hit lefty lefty or righty righty, there is nothing fun about 60 foul balls by the 5th on both ends. The switch hitting team hurts gameplay.
-
@chucky97___ Again, your complaint is about foul balls. That’s the problem.
-
@GoozeFn Foul balls combated with a switch hitting boost ( I use it to) Do you not understand or comprehend that this boost just caters to players that swing at everything?
-
I have Santana and Ortiz ready to rock, when I start my ranked grind on the week-end. I will alter between them after every loss, because I had going with the same team over and over.
I think, they did not want to make the boost meta (look at the boost it gives). But, they did … on the other hand … or on the bright side: People will have to choose with S2, if they want to make Jimmy or Santana their wildcard. That is definitely better than last year … but we will see how this will play out -
@YOSHI24 you get 4 wild card spots in S2.

I know but not from the start … maybe with TA2-2?
I am not sure, what people are going to do, when the good Griffeys, Mantles, Aarons, Jeters arrive (yes, I know Micky is a Swith-Hitter
) -

Agreed. SDS with this switch hitter cpt took strategy away from baseball. No more bringing in a lefty out of the bullpen to face that left handed hitter, or vice-versa. Just stinks

I go back and forth between Santana and Kershaw. I enjoy hitting with lefties. I’m waaay better hitting lefty/lefty than I am Right/right. I get bored using the same cards game in and game out. I’m extremely glad we have all the options that we do.
-
Pretty sure my W-L is better playing without a captain boost. I've tried with Santana and resold him about three times.
-
I use this team but agree it has ruined the game. I think the easy way out is to NOT ALLOW Season 1 Captains to be “wild-carded” in Season 2.
-
@NWOStunna That completely defeats the purpose of a wild card. There aren’t many good core switch hitters, so it’s not going to be that usable at least to start season 2 anyway.
-
@GoozeFn … he said it may be the easiest
… You are right, at the beginning he is not that powerful, but what about the next packs/programs. We got some Switch-hitters left in the tank …
Maybe another solution would be to slightly nerf the boost AND put out some awesome others (S2-Cornerstone maybe? )But back to my observation: I played 4 games since my first post (besides the Bots). Nobody had Santana (I played him 4 times though)
-
The question you need to ask is:
Will a S1 Captain boost S2 cards?
-
Anyone who can’t hit same side pitching is irrelevant.
-
@YOSHI24 His boost is already nerfed comparatively. I agree that we need more captains people want to use. I have a feeling the Ortiz captain will be more popular at the start of season 2.
-
@YeahBruv412 Enjoying this boost doesn’t mean you can’t hit same side pitching. Trying to put people down doesn’t strengthen your opinion.
-
All captains should be gone. You can't have team captains when the Yankees have 40+ legend cards and other teams have less than 15.
This being said, I am also running the switch team. If you aren't than you are at an extreme disadvantage every game.
I will also say that people didn't complain about the buxton meta. Probably because the buxton team was cheap and the best switch hitters are expensive.
-
@GoozeFn Yeah, I know but still it is a (bad) meta …
@go4stros25 while you mentioned Buxton … To me, the difference is that the Santana boost does not have a disadvantage on its own.
Buxton had low vision … Arenado had low speed. Ortiz has „only 2000“…. Being a switch hitter is an advantage.It is all about the meta
