No [censored]. If you read my post, however, there's more to it, and I want to know what it is.
Money is the answer, back then money was the primary reason but there were other reasons,now money is the only reason, and it's not just baseball or video games

In the end ...
Could be the Legend in question was asking for too much. (See Williams, Ted for the prior 3 years.) Could be the Legend wasn't getting used by the Community at large so the company couldn't justify the expense (See Tanana, Street, Hampton, Bedrosian)
In the end, SDS doesn't have an unlimited Legends fund and must pick and choose. Do I get upset when they remove a legend I like (B Wilson, Belle, Will Clark)? Do I get upset when they don't even bother adding a legend I really want (Juan Gone, Ben McDonald, Todd Walker)? Sure, but I also recognize that real world limits exist and I can't always get what I want.

why not focus on getting more names and less copies?
And the reason there are duplicates is because you don't want to release all 99s on Day 1 is you get what we had the prior couple years with Sets and Seasons. You have to give Legends something at launch because people are interested in using them, and then one (or more) later on down the road to represent them at their best.
If you give 99s day one (and don't have any mechanism that expires them), then you start to lose interest in June/July because there's nothing left for players to earn. Most of us learned that lesson in 2018.

@Dolenz_PSN I remember Tommy Herr really well! We've got guys in there like Tony Tarasco, so there's either more to their selection or a lot less than we know. I want to hear it straight from the horse's mouth.
I also remember Vince Coleman and Willie McGee, very well!
When Cardinals fans come to Camden Yards, why are most of them know-it-all's? I was a bit put off by how arrogant they were! Us Orioles fans are all very hopeful; we rarely trash our own players, unlike Yankees/Red Sox/Phillies fans!
And speaking of St. Louis, I just got a 1951 Browns cap in the mail, yesterday, from Mickey's Place. My original one was made of wool and deteriorated, probably thirty years ago.
I remember reading about Herr's season, on the back of cards and thinking... that's an odd number, right? Nick Markakis used to put up big RBI numbers, while hitting few HRs, and that's a sign of greater productivity I think, as opposed to just mashing homeruns. Or maybe those guys just make their own lives harder? George Sisler, like many guys of his era, could put up massive RBI numbers, but hit fewer homeruns. The RBIs have always left a bigger impression on me, rather than the HR. I'll take a guy with 15 HR and 90RBI anyday, over a guy with 28-35 HR and only 70RBI.

@SaveFarris_PSN Then why not do that with every single Legend? It's about the cards, not how many player models are released. The Harold Baines card this year is from his 1995 season, yet his player model is based on his age 26 season, and this is what we see, every year. We don't need more than one copy of a single player. Then again, I RARELY play Diamond Dynasty. I'm not interested in fantasy leagues with logos of ZYN nicotine patches!

Maybe we should nag Fantatics for a billion-dollar donation to San Diego Studios, since they own just about everything else now! I'm glad Panini is suing the pants off of them.
-
Don't put Phillies fans in that, some times you do something stupid and deserve to get booed, we support them with everything we got and when they dont hold up their end ,well we let them know it, but it's not all trashing and booing them, look at turner and bohm, they got standing ovation and turned their performances around,
-
I think the bigger issue is constantly getting multiple versions of current players. Every year we get multiple Schwarbers, Strahm, Bummer etc. it’s always the same players getting cards. It makes sense to give us multiple versions of legends while they have their rights. It’s obnoxious to get the same active players every single year.
-
@Zachtronics_XBL ok, so what are you complaining about then? It doesn’t affect you, and gives less weight to your opinion on the matter.
-
@yankblan_PSN There's always at least one of you in every forum post.
Ask me nicely as to why I am requesting this (not complaining) or keep up with the conversation, before being an [censored]. Thanks!
