Finest Card previews for the 11/11 Program

That one makes sense. They could have forced in a Gore card as well for the Nats, but I feel Wood's spotlight card was still his best card regardless of HRD card existing and people like his swing
Definitely a program of low average guys that will get inflated contact though
-
I am hoping the new captain cards that are supposed to come out give us the ability to boost different theme teams than just by what jersey they are wearing.

I get this is requested often, but I just dont think an endgame Willie Mays belongs on a Mets theme team. The alternate solution is to release more cards so a guy like Soto gets his Nats card, but people complain when they do that.

I see why it would be nice In theory; but if they did that, it could lead to other players never getting a card. Which would lead into complaints. I know it is likely too difficult, but if they had the cards coded with all teams they played for, it wouldn’t matter what team the player is represented by on the card. I imagine that would take way too much time. I don’t have much knowledge in that area. -
@Dolenz_PSN So what I see from your Yankee Depth Chart is that we still need another 99 Yankee at C, 1B, 2B, two at 3B, SS, and LF. There's only two positions that are 99 three cards deep. We can't complete the year without them being without these other cards. There is no other team that matters, except for maybe the Dodgers would be the closest 2nd. Dodgers should be 2 99 deep at each position, the others don't even need one at each position.

I expect they will do this eventually though because most people want it, and there is nothing forcing you to put Manny Ramirez on the Rays theme team if you dont want to

They would have to implement something like they do for Secondary positions. Right now the data for a player card only holds the data for that card including the Team. They would have to give every card a secondary team field to hold all of the others and then have the captain check that field as well.

Only one other Reward in the program which we will have to wait until the top of the hour to see.
-
Your final reward is......
And that leaves Paul Goldschmidt as the last active player who had 99 overall cards in each version of the game from 21-24 without a 99 this year. Hope he gets a retro finest. Even if it is for Arizona he deserves it.

I'm happy that Harper finally got a Phillies card

His LS was here all year.......
Sorry, couldn’t resist! -
I'm a little scared that many players who some of us would liek to see upgraded will never be upgraded now.
We have the league leader in Saves (42) and a 2.45 ERA with only a bronze live series. KC could use a card.
There are, I believe, several 2025 Silver Sluggers without upgraded cards. -
Finest 2025 is overall a huge success, but yeah it just seems there are a few rather obvious omissions. And its baffling because they could have easily made the program 10 cards to make room for guys like Wynn/Contreras or Estevez/Cameron. But even if the program was 10 cards we would still be bale to point to omissions anyway

Just saw Harper has Silver defense, and only plays 1B.
No Bueno. To DH you go 🤪 -

But in a world where they gave a guy that hit .240 and was 3rd in the league with 197 strikeouts a card with 125 contact from both sides and 107 vision it is not like SDS are above fudging the stats to their liking.

Maybe they were using Schwarbers 2022 and 2023 as a comparison. He looks like Tony Gwynn next to those seasons
-
I guess I should probably stop waiting for Yu Darvish to get a 99? They did that program for his 95 card, which was cool then, but I don’t have much use for it now.
