Your Card reveals and teases for Season 3
-
Why the F do they do this, I really despise the game this year. So sloppy with no balance.
Maybe we get another Ryan Ludwick card!
-
Well my guess is- it paves the way for a 99 Cardinals card.
-
It’s definitely the new Team Affinity series. The question is, what is the bottom half of the card? I hope it’s something similar to a captain- an incentive to use these cards for strategy. My fear is that it’s something hokey like the snapshot or Incognito cards that have nothing to do with gameplay.
Thoughts anyone? We know Randy Johnson is another of these.

I realize that.
The question is will I still be playing at that stage?

And we have our first reveal. I assume these are Team Affinity Cards. Are we seeing a theme? At first I thought something about teams who drafted these players but it does not hold up for Nolan Ryan and Jonah Heim.
I had thought early career cards, but Ryan would be a met or Angel in that case
Im worried about whatever is starting in the bottom right of those cutoffs, it could be taking up too much space on the card
Otherwise these look like something that could have been an actual early 90s card set aesthetically
-
@Dolenz_PSN They have such a terrible model. They release the best cards in late fall and winter when no one is playing in HOPES that it will bring in players. But better cards wont bring in players on a dead game at that phase. They would beef up their early and mid season numbers with better cards

I am sure some people come back for them but I am not usually one of those people
-
@Dolenz_PSN Maybe you’ll get a 99 Cardinal McGwire…
-
Yeah, really does make no sense, but I am sure it translates to dollars somehow.

They release the best cards in October/November because thats when they should be released. Power creep is generally a good thing to keep players playing, and people like the feel of progression in general (which is a large reason why they hate seasons as it undoes progression)
I really doubt they bank on the cards drawing many people back that late in the season, although they probably do get back a few of the madden crowd.

Why would they refuse to show the bottom of these cards?
A guess that's probably wrong, but why not:
The series is called "Stadium Club" with a picture of the home stadium on the bottom of the card.Behold my terrible mspaint prototype:
-
I wouldn't mind that, I think that they should show what stadium that they played at in their career

That also allows for the eventuality of the secondary cards (Headliners, Ranked, Collection, etc). In this specific case, you could have Nolan repping the Astrodome and someone like Biggio repping Enron/Minute Maid.

I think these card are out of position cards so they cant show the bottom half. Cant wait for catcher Machado
-
I love the concept. But if you're doing that, there's better ways.
-
Yep it’s the out of position thing. Ugh, I really don’t see the point in this.
-
If it really is, there are SOOOO many ways to do this better.
For example...
Roy Oswalt: Left Fielder
Nolan Ryan: Right Fielder
Anthony Rizzo: Relief Pitcher
-
@SaveFarris_PSN Will Farrell at every position.
-
Yeah, I am not sold on the out of position TA.
For those who want to know how we come to this conclusion. The card reveals are missing positions and the Conquest map has all of the teams "out of position". Then they posted this to twitter
-
We may not get any more TA reveals than that if they are trying to be coy about this out of position nonsense.
There are still Season Awards, Ranked, BR and Events rewards they could tease.
Unless somehow they are also all tied in to the OOP nonsense.
