Reminder: Not All 99s are Created Equally

I also think people shouldn’t get hung up on a cards overall or total overall score. Try the cards out don’t stick with cards that you are not hitting with because on paper they are the best card. I benched Tulo because I’m hitting .560 with Trammel on ranked.
Totally agree. For the most part, overall ratings are basically meaningless. Especially when you're getting in to the 96+ territory.

For example, that Arenado card rakes. Can go opposite field and turn on inside sinkers as well as any right handed card. Makes a lot of insane plays at 3rd too. Always makes me smile seeing him make crazy plays at 3rd.
He is great defensively. I just don't hit well with him. I'll try this one.
I believe they should go to 100's, like 2K. After that, they have 'Invincible,' and 'GOATS. ' -

I don't think that I agree. The bar would just move until a few years from now we would be getting 110s at the all star break and every random player or late season Spotlight and topps now player are getting 110.

I believe they need to do a reset of this creep and go back to where a 99 is special.
This is what 2K has become. A player with a grand total of 82 points lifetime gets a fully maxed card.

I love people playing different cards, but theres a lot of small sample size and confirmation bias.
...Unless you're a true timing hitter (where you time swing with leg kick) - in which case, you're gonna have your guys you know, and you're probably gonna absolutely rake if you can actually do that method.
If you're a regular hitter whos pretty decent, you really need that power stat. Otherwise, its a lot of squared up balls lining into gloves at the warning track. As you get better in this game, you learn that its just "how often can you homer" and nothing else matters.

Also, with it being so much faster to parallel players this year some of those lower 99s can easily be modded to be pretty close to the higher ones. Like ive currently got Jordan Walker in my DH slot and im working on getting him a diamond contact mod to go with his maxed out power.

I’m hitting .560 with Trammel on ranked.
I know I'm late to this party, but I just put Trammel into the "Field of Dreams" even, and man, he hits everything hard.

Lucky you, my Trammell hits like 2018 Chris Davis minus his home runs.

My 99 is better than your 99.
Also, Cardinals fans only get a 99 if they pay.

Ive never seen Trammell love anywhere but here. He performs as expected for me - lots of fly ball outs that would've been home runs.
I feel like everyone I play has the same lineup of 99s. Fewer people have victor, it seems like - but everyone has all the other guys.
