They’re gathering data for next years game. They use events as beta testing basically

???? And where are you getting this info? Just curious!!!

I played someone in the last event, right before it ended, who played at Polo with a lineup of guys who only had 65 power or less. The two who had 65 were hitting in the 3 and 6 hole. He hit a HR with one of them, paused for a while, then quit. I don’t believe any info on what the event criteria was going to be was released yet when we played. The 65 power would be the only two cards that guy wouldn’t be able to use in the dead all event. Feel like it was exactly what this guy is saying, testing the event before release.

Lol I hit a walkoff bomb with Joey Votto OK JOEY!!

I like this event. Takes the pressure off of trying make a perfect pitch every time and puts the focus more on managing rather than trying to out slug the other guy. Gotta shift your defense for certain guys. Know when to pitch out. Slide step. Throw a fastball. Bunt. Steal. Hit and run. Oh it’s so much better than just trying to hit nukes. Don’t get me wrong hitting bombs is great and all but hasn’t everyone hit twice as many as Bonds did in his career by now?

Played a guy last night that I guess was testing the power needed for the event lineup for the deadball event that came out today. Full team of low power guys. Jones and Damon were by far the highest power guys in the lineup @ 65 pwr each vs righties. How he knew what the event was gonna be capped at? I don’t know. But his psn was very interesting. That’s all I’ll say without giving out too much info.

Anyway, the sheer nature of how weird it was, and me realizing I can’t remember ever playing anyone with either one of these cards got me to thinking.....why are these cards only ever sold at 30k and why are there never any on the market?

Maybe I’ve forgotten since the beginning of the year but I don’t ever remember seeing these anywhere but in Showdowns.

Does anyone have any information on these cards and why it is the way it is? Is it weird or am I missing something here?

<BTW....for those who say they aren’t any good or can’t beat showdown.....take these guys if you see them in your draft, they will get you to that final boss with plenty of run support.>
