@Dolenz_PSN aranado and Alvarado will be fun I think this would have been a perfect opportunity to release some names from the 2000/2010s who maybe new like for example rays longo or Crawford b.j Upton James shields. For Rockies chuck nasty cargo even a Brad hawpe. Reds could have went votto datdude Mets bartolo Thor Matt Harvey Murph. Phils utley is ok but like a Cole hamels maybe a pat Burrell twins talkin baseballs Own Trevor Plouffe this drop could have been so much more if sds actually went out and got some rights.

I need a new 3B ... Pendleton should be fun.
Has Ron Gant ever been in the game?
-
Cant post pictures. But technically theyre supposed to be a throwback to the Topps Heritage Series.
Think '64 or '67 Topps. Or a hybrid of both.
From 1964...

@Onix_Savage22_PSN agreed. I'd love to see some new names like you and others are throwing out. But then, we need another mode in the game to actually have a reason to use those cards.
Right now, you'd get that Ron Gant and be like "cool, its nostalgic to see that guy!" - then you'd tuck him away in your binder where Jeff Conine lives...and never have a reason to use him again. As an rpg gamer, it doesnt make sense to me that there's no system where you can use all these collectibles...in, like, useful ways

There are always going to be 25-30 "meta" guys for online play no matter what they do. The only solution, and they are actually getting close to this at times, is give the non-meta cards attributes that are not realistic or make every card a cookie cutter card that are interchangeable
Even if all the cards were cookie cutter cards there would still be a meta based on some being switch hitters or having a "sweet" swing.
I'd venture to say you see more lineup variety with the offline players. There are probably plenty of offline players like me for whom the theme teams and captains are more commonly used.

@Dolenz_PSN short sighted?? SDS?? 🤪
-
@platewelder_363_MLBTS I mean he ain’t lying players will pick the player that perform the best with cuz they want to win.
-
@Dolenz_PSN as a Dbacks fan it annoys me that they never get any love in the content drops besides getting an end game Marte and Randy. I wish players like Corbin Carroll were featured more
-
@rubicante23_PSN OR… they could actually make team builds viable. Another mode would be great though. I’d like a 6 inning online theme team mode.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN yeah, whatever way you want to do it. I'd prefer that there be an actual way to use most of the cards - like "hey cool, I can insert this card into my Twins theme team...and that theme team will make my overall team better" - some system like that.
But, that's more complicated and will annoy some people, I'm sure - the simple way is just to let you build a theme team as your main team, and have it be competitive. That's tricky to do, though - like, people aren't gonna go try to get the super rare Chase and collection cards if you can just do a theme team that's about as good. Any company that makes any game is gonna want there to be "super good shiny things" for you to covet - and those things have to be better. That's the reason we're stuck where we are.
But again, there are lots of systems that have been invented where there's a use for "lesser cards" - an actual way for you to use and build with cards that everyone knows are not the best ones.
