Multiplayer 4 Program cards
-
It’s funny how SDS just relies on broken mechanics to create cards people want. Idiotic sinkers and cutters.
They can’t even make legitimate great pitchers like Nolan Ryan useable.
I do remember back in line 2016 before the cutter/sinker [censored] when SDS had the pitch velo cranked up Vida Blue, Nolan Ryan and Feller were actually good.
-
In response to my own post, I can see why they toned down Velo and added more movement. Not really cool to let the dude with the best monitor win.
-
I loved that Wally Joyner card as a kid. I'm excited to hopefully use it at some point
-
They could make some of the offbeat guys better for a change - and the usual meta monsters worse. But, they never do that - they always just lean into full meta.
-
@Dolenz_PSN almost like the Yankees are one of the oldest mlb teams. Wild.
-
@rubicante23_PSN i don’t really know how they would do that, generally - besides giving Nolan Ryan a slider out of nowhere, as an example
-
@ryguy034753_XBL you say that like most of the Yankees we get cards of are from before the Expansion Era. Nah it’s more Paul O’Neill and Jazz Chisholm and Andy Pettitte.
-
Being ‘historic’ != being the only team with a history
-
Older teams will have more players due to but some of those players have played for worst teams. Could have made that jazz for his cover season. Even if he is buttcheeks

Would you be surprised to learn that there are lots of teams older than the Yankees
Atlanta Braves (1871)
Chicago Cubs (1871)
Cincinnati Reds (1881)
Pittsburgh Pirates (1881)
St. Louis Cardinals (1882)
Philadelphia Phillies (1883)
San Francisco Giants (1883)
Los Angeles Dodgers (1884)
Baltimore Orioles (1901)
Boston Red Sox (1901)
Chicago White Sox (1901)
Cleveland Guardians (1901)
Detroit Tigers (1901)
Minnesota Twins (1901)
New York Yankees (1901)And before we go down the most Hall of Famers route, which is true, keep these facts in mind. The Giants are in 2nd place for most HOF and they are 23rd when it comes to cards this year. The Cardinals are 3rd in HOFs and are 9th in cards received so it is not based on that.
Also the Cardinals have one more actual HOF player card (8 players) in the game than the Yankees, who are tied at 7 with Atlanta and Boston.

@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN you know they don't have the rights to all players right? That's why year after year we see the exact same guys.
-
@Dolenz_PSN yea but mlb started in 1903 that's what I meant. They're an original team.
-
@ryguy034753_xbl well they need to get rights to more players to fix this then - or give the Yankees more cards for other teams like the Belli card we got a while back (they do this but not enough)
-
@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN that costs money and SDS is only good at losing business.
-
Yall aren’t gonna quit buying the game
-
@ryguy034753_XBL I guess that’s true
-
Pittsburgh Pirates (1881)
I'm bummed that we haven't had a Honus sighting yet this year. I'd love it if SDS got creative and made the "oldest" card in the game. 1899 Honus, while playing for the Louisville Colonels (which folded into the Pirates in 1900).
Alas... maybe he's not going to make an appearance this year.
-
@Dolenz_PSN yea but mlb started in 1903 that's what I meant. They're an original team.
In the end it is all about the size of the Fan Base and which teams they feel releasing players for is the most profitable.
And I feel the need to repeat this several times a year. I have no issue with the Yankees getting the most cards every year. My complaint is the disparity between them and many other teams.
The Yankees have received 16 cards since the day Detroit last received one. Those 16 cards since May 8th is more than 4 teams have received for the Year so far.
They have received 44 Legends and Flashbacks to the Rays 13. They have at least twice as many Legends and Flashbacks as 15 other teams (half the league)
Surely, you have to admit that it is a little too lopsided.
-
@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS There’s zero chance I’ll buy 27.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN if that’s what you want. Just don’t be one of those people on the sidelines that always has something to say.
