25 vs 26 live series collection rewards
-
If they don't have any of the BIG names coming, Juan Gonzalez could be a second tier option. Probably better as an AL reward though
-
How about the last triple crown winner?
-
@Bicarbonate_Fury_PSN The problem with Miguel Cabrera and Pujols is neither played a premium position or had speed. The only overall collection similar was Babe who was a 2 way player.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN not true. Ted Williams was the collection in 17, Vlad was 18, and Jeter was 23 (hardly a meta card).
They don’t need a meta player for the collection. People are buying all the high diamonds anyways to get an edge and the collection cards a a bonus (and thus really unnecessary at all). But all they really need is a big name (or 3) for the collection not switch hitters or 5 tool guys.

@GradektheBard_PSN I’ll give you Ted Williams. It was a bit different in 2017 without stats going to 125 though. Vlad had enough speed at 81. Jeter plays a premium position and had speed. The power was the only thing lacking and it was still good enough. It’s obviously not an end all be all criteria, but either one of those guys would be disappointing for the overall reward especially following Beltran.

I think that's why 20 might still be the best collection series overall.
At launch, you had a premiere slugger with Sheffield who could play 3B/OF, a speed/power player with eligibility at C/2B in Biggio and finally Mantle who was the most meta five-tool card available in the game.
All three were brand-new to The Show as well which is always a bonus.

@SakAttack87_PSN Agree that was the best year.
