<![CDATA[Ted Simmons - Chase Pack]]>Ooooffff... sorry, @dolenz_psn

Prime Ted Simmons, as a Cardinal.

Plus... another switch hitter. Weird, as we just had Santana as a Chase pack (switch hitter, Catcher secondary).

If you woke up tomorrow and did nothing but play DQ the whole day, you'd probably pass out at 2am with 200k stubs.

Do I want to do that? Nope. But, im just making the point - getting virtual currency in this game is easier than any other game out there.

Really only two bigs cards in that list. Edman price dropped dramatically after one week.

I realize that. And Church is cheap/easy to get now as well.

I was mainly pointing out why I don't feel as motivated to play when so many cards are simply in packs and need to be purchased, regardless of how cheap or expensive they may be

I don't flip or invest so spending all my stubs every few weeks for a new pack card is not something I take lightly.

@GoozeFn_PSN same I would love a big money Sox player. I tried Ted if it makes dolenz feel better he’s not missing out on much unfair kinda tho cause it was vs Randy I sold tho didn’t wanna lose to many coins when his value drops.

For my Cardinals Theme Team which I run 99% when playing offline modes he is a definite upgrade. And other than that, he was my favorite player (along with Brock) when I was a young boy.

I am probably less disappointed that I can't afford this particular card than I am with the realization that, like Pujols, it could be October or November before I see another Cardinals version that I can actually obtain, assuming that Simmons gets a 99.

Here are the top 8 Cardinal Players by OVR and how they are obtained. These are all of the Cardinals above a 90.

  1. 99 Pujols - Collection
  2. 96 Simmons - Chase Pack
  3. 93 Gibson - Mural Pack (Rare Round)
  4. 92 Jordan Walker - Spotlight Pack (mid round)
  5. 92 Ozzie Smith - Diamond Quest
  6. 91 Bruce Sutter - Mini Seasons
  7. 91 Nathan Church - May Spotlight Pack
  8. 91 Tommy Edman - Headliner Pack

Is it any wonder I have not felt incentivized to actually play much? I assume other teams have the same issues so I am not saying that the Cardinals are in worse shape than any other team. I'm just explaining why I personally feel less motivated this year.

If you’re putting everything into that goal, even as a casual, it’s very doable.

Admittedly I have not played much this year but when some of my favorite players seem completely out of reach (for now) it does not actually incentivize me to play more.

I'll most likely buy Gibson and Ozzie this weekend and that will make me very stub poor so that will be my theme team for a while.

Oh, yeah, I recently had to spend 20K to get that Spotlight Jordan Walker as well. So as of today that is 400K worth of Cardinal cards only available in packs in the last 3 weeks.

I think those other cards u names are very obtainable tho

They are but It just goes towards pattern.

Though I am still happy that McGee was earnable.

If your goal is to make the best possible theme team for your team, this shouldn’t be an issue at all.

Same with Pujols I think those other cards u names are very obtainable tho. But I do get ur feeling when I saw Pedroia behind Al east collection I wasn’t the most excited. For the price tag tho it doesn’t look like ur missing out on much but Ted cards have played good for me since his intro last year probably plays above stats.

Ken would mash and all 3 of those pitchers would get good mixes.

He's unattainable for me. By the time his price comes down and I earn more stubs we could be looking at months from now. 😞

And that's after making Bob Gibson the Rare round in the Mural pack and sticking Ozzie in Diamond Quest. Making Tommy Edman a Headliners and of course making Pujols a collection.
