Moonshot 2.0 Reveals
-
It's amazing seeing how many people on twitter/x are getting upset about "Another Kershaw Card", "Another Clemens card", "Another Ubaldo Jimienez card".
Have they not played the game before? Did they not notice the pitcher overalls of the last Moonshot program?
I guess I should not be surprised since people still get upset that Topps now cards are from the previous week or that somebody did not get supercharged on a Sat or Sun.
-
@Jeff7407_PSN I'm pretty sure George W Bush threw more pitches in Texas than Kluber did
-
They did Rickey right but Ozzie Smith with 60 stl and 85 Field is absolutely disrespectful to the man.
Also its hilarious that the 1962 Mets have 2 cards this year and the 86 Mets have 0
-
I am a little upset right now.
They did Ozzie wrong on his fielding. They stuck him behind a collection that I can only finish if I buy a bunch of cards.
Add that to the fact that I will have to pay a fortune for Bob Gibson and most of my desire to play today has evaporated
I can't earn either by simply playing

Yeah, this goes back to the post I made earlier in the week. Its fine for Bob to be an exclusive reward initially, but it shouldnt be locked to online play permanently.

They have a tendency to put Cardinals in packs. Both Brock and Winn I believe were in the pack from the first moonshot.
Wasn't Joe Torre a Headliner
Liam Doyle was in a PackUgh, I just looked at the prices for the first round of Moonshot cards.
Ozzie is completely out of reach for me, at least until the market crashes or we are well past the end of the year and prices are cheap.
-
I'm kind of all over the place with how I feel about Moonshot 2.0
Some cards were great, made sense and were well balanced.
Other cards looked like Moonshot 1.0 cards. A lot of power with either slow speed or poor fielding.
Would've liked to have seen more balance and consistency throughout all the cards.Luckily, the only card that I want to chase is that Tim Raines and he's the first collection.
-
WTF SDS
Barry Larkin also got Ozzie'd, but even worse. He has a SIXTY FLD. multiple gold glove winner. 379 SBs. Cant field or run. This isnt a useable Barry larkin, its a DH card for some other guy
-
And endgame Ozzie Smith should have 99 FLD. And end game Tim Raines should have 99 speed. And end game Barry larkin should not have 60 stl.
Its a shame, because parts of the drop are inspired. Ashburn had 1/4 of his career HRs in his one seasonw ith the Mets, so its actually clever the Mets get his moonshot. Aaron as the big reward is fantastic. But there is no reason why they [censored] on some of these legends top card of the year (yet didnt for others)
Like Bagwell may not have been a great fielder, but Bronze? While Pena gets to be silver?
-
@Dolenz_PSN Same man, further solidifying my decision to focus on Borderlands 4. F that collection.
-
I actually cursed when Ashley said Cardinal fans because I was sure they were locking Stan away behind a collection. We still need an updated Stan (inning boss) and Lou Brock.

@Dolenz_PSN Wait until this moonshot pack hits the deluxe etc. … Then prices will come down. Your Ozzie is my Rickey and I will not overspend one of my 2.6M stubs

I only have 400K although I could sell a bunch.
I am assuming at least half of that is needed for Gibson.

The difference is your Rickey will still steal like Rickey on the basepaths. The Ozzie will not field like Ozzie.
This after already giving Ozzie a sub 90 defense card
They [censored] on The Wizard, and even as a non Cardinals fan I can't approve of that

The debate was about getting him …
And: It is pretty clear that those Moonshot cards do things different than their usual cards

You can keep running the new mini season for old moonshot packs at least, it will get you most of the way

But the problem is Ozzie never got a "usual" card this year. He has gotten two cards with under 90 fielding on both.
In fact his 99 card has even lower fielding than his 89 card did.
-
@Dolenz_PSN I just looked up Ozzie … Sorry, that is the most usable Ozzie we ever had … If he could need something, it would be speed …This card plays and I am really looking forward putting him on my Cardinals end-game-theme-team-cycle squad (I do all teams starting around xmas).
If I were you and I would really need him rn, I would simply get him. If not: this Weatherholt will do too

Why upgrade the ARM and REACTION from his 89 Overall card pretty significantly but then lower the fielding to even lower than his 89 overall card?
Funny, they didn't feel the need to nerf Henderson's speed to justify his moonshot card.

Action Hero Ozzie > Moonshot Ozzie. 99/99 speed and 99 defense are by a huge margin more important to me on an Ozzie card than just another HR hitter
