Lou Gehrig program

@SakAttack87 his 21 card was unreal

Did they announce this program somewhere? I didn't see anything on Facebook. How do you know they will be core cards?
It says it in the blog post about how to get ready for season two.
-
Programs aren't what they used to be. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a 3 card program and a core pack.

@bostondirtdog21 said in Lou Gehrig program:
With the new program coming in and it looking like it's going to be core players, what are we thinking the ceiling's going to be? I'm thinking Gehrig comes in at 92-93 seeing he already has an 87.
How about other core cards in the program? With TA 2.1 being 89's, they can't be too much higher than that right
I would not jump the gun on assuming Gehrig will be a core card. It is possible but they mentioned the Gehrig program in the same sentence as the Jackie Robinson program. That program had 4 Set 1 rewards and then one Barrier Breakers pack, which was core. The Jackie Robinson reward card was a Season 1 card.
ALSO AS AN ASIDE: I changed my icon in the game to the new City Connect icon for the cardinals and the forum set me back to a generic icon.

@Dolenz64_XBL The Jackie Robinson program wasn’t a week before the next season though and we already had a season 1 Lou Gehrig card. I see what you’re saying, but I’d bet he’s core. They could also throw a hyper series pack into the program just to ruin people’s investments into those core cards.

That is why I said it was possible.
I, personally, just won't make that assumption. SDS has done little this year for me to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Hmm, I actually thought I read somewhere that LG was going to be core. It doesn’t make much sense to be S1, but I can't find anywhere that it was said.

The only thing we know for certain is It will be incredibly disappointing. Lou Gehrig always gets ruthlessly disrespected by this game so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him yet another unusable card
They gave him one good card in 2020. I agree with this sentiment, they always disrespect him.
-
@nflman2033_MLBTS I don’t think they have specifically said that. There was a blog post that said look for core cards in his program though.

Ok, yeah that seems right.
-
Yeah, he is a core card after all

Figured it would be core, but surprised it's not a 92-93 - not that it matters much anyway. He better get a nice attainable card later in the cycle though!
-
I was pretty close.
-
Yeah, they picked a year where he only hit 30 HRs as a way to keep the overall down by not giving him much power (I assume that is where this card will lack). He hit 49 HRs in 1934 and 1936 which was a career high.
-
He's a 99 til next Friday

That's nice. I am sure once season 2 rolls around most players will replace him with a TA first baseman with more power.
-
I was surprised he was 90 -- I thought he would be 85 to 88 CORE so I give them a passing grade on the card. There was ZERO way they were giving us a CORE 95 plus so those people keep dreaming -- LOL
-
Actually, the 90-Core is pretty good, since it gives everybody a chance to have a very good 1B/DH with Season2 starting. I will have a look at his attributes and I will use him, if contact vs RHP is higher than Palmeiro
-
He's my favorite all time player. Can't wait to put him on my squad!
-
Quick easy program. Gehrig swing is always A+ for me anyways. 80k+ XP for 20 minutes of playing
