Get rid of Captains and do this instead (in my opinion)
-
Captains should just be gone…I love the idea of theme teams. So instead of captains why not just give team chemistry’s like in Madden. So Yankees for example would give a boost to any player that has ever wore pinstripes. No need to make 5 different cards for one player just so it could fit a Captain boost. I don’t think it would be that hard, ShowZone has tab for each player and every team that player has been on.

I like the captains personally - adds a bit of strategy

Ehhh I like captains it just needs work. If not captains do gear. The gear would matter in PvP like it would single player modes. I don't want some intangible buff that is used in the background. I like that it uses a player slot or a resource you can actually manage.

Just let the captain be on the bench

Just let the captain be on the bench
Or a manager/coach card?

I think there would be rights issues. Especially, with legendary mgr/coaches.
Imagine a Jim Leland card that let's you smoke in the dugout, or a Billy Martin argument card, where you can win every challenge 🤪 -

As an offline Player - My only complaint with the Team Captain Cards is the Crossover of hitting/pitching boosts. I could honestly care less about Pitching Boosts. And lets be real...If I'm using an All Braves team...I'm using one Starter and one or two Relievers anyways...I understand you gotta implement them for Ranked as well, but who's taking the Royals Bullpen into a Ranked Series game? That was one thing I liked about the Captain cards last year...You want to boost Contact - Use the captain that boosts that. Power - Use that one. Etc..
You're specialty Captains (Kershaw, Santana, Castillo - That's a different story cause they can be utilized for a "Non-Team Specific" Lineup.

When I was playing ranked I played full mets team including bullpen.
Silver Brooks Raley was a workhorse for me and is p4.5ish -
@Teak2112_MLBTS A captain imo is a player that has to be on the field. If Aaron Judge e.g. is not good enough to be on the field he will be gone.
Captains should be way better. When I do theme teams late in the year, my captain will bat 9th or never pitch. That should not be the case… -
I like the idea of theme teams.

@Teak2112_MLBTS That's great, but I'm sure you're in the minority of Ranked Players that run an All-Team. It's all about the God Squad right?

I’ve been wanting managers/chemistry instead that don’t take up a starting roster spot. Captain cards are good for theme teams, but pretty quickly that card becomes the worst card in your lineup.

That’s my issue with them they are 87s and can’t earn them very easily
