Make people change it up - I know they'll figure out the new meta in two days, but at least it'll feel new. Lets throw some curveballs with Juan Marichal for a change.

As is, its just fanservice over and over - the same cards stay popular, the same tactics work as always, etc.

This game needs a rehaul so badly - everyone knows the good swings and bad swings, and has known them for years...its just redux. Wouldn't it be cool if the whole thing was different, and different players were good instead of the same ones

What do you want them to do randomly swap swings out?

I feel like no matter what they do or how they rehaul it that there will always be a meta and you'd see the same guys online anyway.

The only way around it would be to make cards cookie cutter, where every 99 center fielder plays the same as every other 99 CF.

The mini-seasons cards look more exciting to me than this - does anybody really love these two guys so much that theyre itching to replace the switch-hitting demons currently occupying these positions?

I know i'm the exception, but i have most every card in the game and have precisely one switch hitter in my lineup and that's Bryan Reynolds.
He'd be playing even if he wasn't.

I will say though that in Harper we have a perfect poster child for what is wrong with the game this year, at least to a certain extent. Some legends are getting ignored. Past MVP, CY Young, Silver Sluggers and Gold Glovers never get awards card and here with have the 6th Diamond Bryce Harper Card

99 Finiest
98 Milestone
96 HR Derby
94 Second Half Heroes
89 WBC
85 Live

Meanwhile players like Andre Dawson and Jeff Bagwell, among others, only have a jolt card from Release Day in March.

How many more years will Goldschmidt play? Doesn't he deserve an MVP card at least once before he retires?

The biggest issue is that the they made the second half heroes card another Phillies card, ignoring the team where he played his best baseball.

They don't release enough legends, and they don't make proper use of the existing roster. Its absurd that there is no Mets Alonso/McNeil/Nimmo card this year.

They are better off releasing a Bagwell 99 card early in the game cycle because his swing is so bad no one wants to use him other than as a joke.

Will it cause me to replace Beltran with Buxton in my God squad, absolutely not. Could I try him in right or left field, I can see myself doing that. Bryce Harper, he won't overtake Lance or V-Mart at 1st and DH on my God squad.

I could see him making his way in to my OF. I don't really care about switch hitting.

Or is this just - hey, youre gonna need these for collection, so get them I guess...
