Legends and Flashbacks collections
-
@WolfgangMLB_XBL got a good lol out of that
-
I hope sds figures out a way to not make switch hitters OP. Essentially guys like Zobrist, Willi Castro, and Polanco to be the best hitters in the game over Griffey, Mays, and Babe Ruth.
-
I have been arguing for YEARS to stop the meta...they never stop the meta. They just give you more meta.
At least change the meta - make some other things important. Never happens. They say - just keep throwing sinkers and hitting home runs.

Julio Franco
Ryan Howard
Adrián González
Shane Victorino -
This is a joke, right?
-
I mean, Zobrist was better than mediocre, but yeah these big collections should be for HoF caliber players.
I mean compared to other legends over the history of Major League Baseball he is mediocre. Career .266 hitter during an era where the standard to be considered good was above .300 with 166 career home runs. Went over 20 home runs three times in his career with a max of 27.
Only reason he has not been forgotten is because he was on the Cubs WS drought ending team.
Also played great defense at multiple positions.
Could do everything at an above average level, but didn't excel in anything.
But the main reason he is not forgotten is because of the Rays and not the Cubs. He is easily a top 5 player for that franchise
-
Zobrist? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It's a great card. But, man this doesn't move the needle for hardly anyone IMO.
-
@grimmcard4280_PSN but see, thats the disconnect - it totally moves the needle for high-level online competitive player. Its a great card for that guy, cause its meta and meta wins. Thats what's wrong.
-
Is this also the worst card art ever for a meta collection card?
-
@rubicante23_PSN I get that. Thus, my laugh. I play online too, but I don't field a full meta squad. I like to only collect players I loved historically, while I was growing up to the present day. I have zero affinity for the Cubs or Zobrist. For me, it would be a card collecting dust. Once again, it looks great... but man... I don't care if I never get it. Mantle on the other hand.... I want that one. LOL. This helps me make my choice to sell off everything and get him.
-
Isn’t that guy whose wife stepped out on him so he quit baseball? But he’s a switch hitter. Now it makes sense.
-
At least they could've finally given the Tampa Rays fans some love....since he is, like, one of their most iconic players. And like the 255th most iconic Cub
-
@WolfgangMLB_XBL don’t say that SDS will take it as a challenge
-
I just got Ben and still have 328K for the future.
Postseason is the only collection besides the new ones I haven’t completed but I don’t want to blow all my bank on Lance. I want to thank you all because I was completely prepared for this collection. Your overall general input and direct responses was/were/are. money. Good luck…and, no, I still haven’t made the plunge to online play even though I’m hanging tough on HOF vs. the CPU. Happy Hunting. Thank you, Rick -
Legit never felt less enthusiasm about finishing a legends and flashbacks collection.
Card art is horrendous, too.
What has become of this game?
-
Mailed in laziness in many ways. Something also feels off after this drop as these power hitters are getting terrible exit velocities and ball carry. Almost like they don’t want us to get those home run missions done too quickly. The game just feels off more than usual and the card art is a copy paste job from last year.

I can understand that. A .266 lifetime hitter who hit like 167 HRs total.
But going by attributes only he is now the top rated player in the game, just beating out Beltran.
-
The card art by itself is extremely underwhelming. Ben Zobrist?!? I dont get it. I really don't. He shouldn't be a top collection piece. Only legends which is in the title should be top collection pieces. Not a video game meta player and if he wasn't a switch hitter nobody would care for him.
If they were going to go with a meta switch hitter..... how about , say ,Chipper Jones.
-
I know I’m an outlier and I thank you all ahead of time for letting me blow off some steam….
I have ZERO of the mega collections done. I take that back, I have finished LS. NOTHING else, though.
Yes, I’m frustrated and I think I play frequently. Although, admittedly since I’m falling way behind on these mega collection, I often think, “why bother”
The market is way way way way too expensive. And SDS is doing this intentionally to get us to buy stubs. And I don’t like it one bit.
One of the sneakiest things they’ve done is NOT adding cards to some of these collections. That keeps the prices high for the limited amount of cards to complete it. (Just look at the Prime collection).
Anyway, not a happy camper with The Show 26. Not at all…. SDS NEEDS TO CRASH THE MARKET!
Ahh, thanks for reading.

As long as it isn't the same legends every year. I don't want a game where every year I can just rule out Mantle,Mays, Ruth, Musial because they are legends that are always collection rewards.
