That Jeter card was Goated, was essentially a slightly slower Honus Wagner

Beyond disappointed in the content this year. Seems like content was more focused on giving current players 6 different goated cards, i feel as if they neglected legends as a whole quite a bit.
What can be done moving forward acquiring rights for some of these legends? Is it simply money? Why is it so hard for SDS to keep/maintain legends in this game? Doesn’t seem to ever be an issue with 2k and Madden.
Would be nice to get some new faces in there that are usable….using the same recycled legends is getting old especially when they only get 1 or 2 cards max to choose from
-
Finding it more and more unbelievable that they haven’t dropped recent 99 legends such as Mays, Hank, Babe, Griffey (usable, not having to grind through extreme) etc etc.
My only guess is that Set 6 is essentially going to be the remainder of legends who don’t have recent 99’s, cracked out of their mind in hopes it will keep some people around.
They seriously fumbled ‘23 big time, i hope they take it as a learning experience moving forward.

Have cut back grinding over the last few weeks and am now completely overwhelmed at how far behind i am it may be time to hang it up (except for the casual ranked games after a few cocktails).
I have never been the one to expect content to be given out, but a majority of both the programs and team affinities simply require way too much. And let’s not even get started with the different player stat missions and having to keep track of that, constantly rotating players in and out.
I get it’s probably their way of the game not dying out once the season ends, which makes sense. It’s just brutal for those of us that don’t have multiple hours A DAY to play

Looking to replace our living room tv, likely going 65 inch. Is there anything in particular i should be looking for as far as refresh rate and things like that to avoid any sort of input lag? I know most tvs now have game mode, but I’ve come across tv’s that still had it even in game mode. I know in the past, Vizio’s and Samsungs have been pretty money. Unsure about LG’s…my current Sony is great but I’ve had bad experiences in the past.
I have a ps5 if that helps. Appreciate any feedback!

Just……wow. Who’s next? Jerry Hairston?

Could just be me but it seems like they went overboard on the left handed starters this year…what rh starters have you had success with?

The Greg Vaughn and Jason Kendall are garbage as well. The only good one so far that I've unlocked is Larry Walker's 97.
EDIT: The Jeter is pretty good, as I just unlocked him.
I got base again in the pack. Shocker.
Took a chance on the Mets version of Piazza,.to help me crawl through the program. I needed that rare round pull!
Batting .091 with Greg Vaughn, lol.Vaughn and Kendall are garbage because you’re garbage with them.
No, because their swings sawk
I see the guy who quoted you is still a douche wad. Some things never change.

Good content for Cardinals theme teams so I am happy but also ouch....
They have now made Matt Holliday's, Nolan Arenado's and Paul Goldschmidt's 99 overall cards for their other teams, even though Goldy won the MVP as a Cardinal last year. I guess I can at least stop holding my breath as to when Goldy and Arenado would get their deserved 99 cards.
But hey we got Ryan Ludwick.
Man you really love the cardinals huh?

The idea to collect different series was cool, the only downside was near the end of the year when you needed those random 7 “prime” cards and they were all 200k stubs and it was simply just impossible. Todays method gives you more of a chance to obtain rewards

Legit pulled every 99 diamond and Stargell and madbum twice. The odds just aren’t in your favor, has nothing to do with you crying about the game
Congrats on great pack luck and on being rude. You seem like a cool guy.
I’m sorry, i forgot we are in America in 2023.
“I am deeply saddened that you did not have luck with the program packs. I know it’s devastating but just know we are all here for you if you ever need anything. Perhaps we can start a petition for SDS to provide you with all available 99’s to make up for your misfortune, that will sooth the pain”
Sheesh

For TA i wish they would generalize XP instead of having it be player specific. Certain amount of XP with classics, Certain amount with TA bosses. Maybe add hitting categories or pitching categories. The xp with team specifics isn’t terrible….it just feels like a brutal chore having to pay attention to who’s got what XP, and then having to sub them out for a new guy, rinse/repeat. It’s honestly exhausting. I think that’s what killed it for me this year. Then you add in new programs that come out and you gotta do the same….you need a freakin excel sheet just to keep track
-
Just hopped on for the first time in i think a week and a half…gave the TA east showdown a whirl, lost on Alvarado with some really good contact that went absolutely no where.
40 minutes down the drain. Turned the game off. Id rather wash dishes.
I’ll never give this game up but in a nutshell mlb the grind 23. Freakin infuriating

I would think SDS gets rid of Sets/expiring cards next year. The complaints about that have been relentless.
The complaints are always relentless about some aspect of the game every year.
That said, I do agree that they did a very poor jobs of spacing things out.
Here are the expired 99 overall cards for the Cardinals.
Lars Nootbaar (Set 2)
Bob Gibson (Set 1)
Adam Wainwright (Set 1)
Stan Musial (Set 2)
Ozzie Smith (Set 1)
Jim Edmonds (Set 1)
Jordan Walker (Set 1)What am I looking forward to if that is the only 99 these guys get? Since that time we have gotten lesser versions of Ozzie, Edmonds, Gibson, and Walker.
I'm sorry if the prospect of being able to use these cards again in January does not motivate me to keep playing.

I’m burnt out. No desire to grind for the trash 97’s that will never sniff my lineup. I can appreciate the different ways to acquire different cards but it’s just too much repetitive nonsense and too much to keep track of.

Felt good streaming him in my fantasy semis. Guess i can punt ERA and WHIP for the week.

@Pennstatefencer_MLBTS said in They serious with this Sosa card?:
Could this 99 be better? Sure. The defense is definitely being used to keep it at a 99. But at least there is another really good 99 which is still usable (core) unlike other obvious downgrades that have been released like Chipper.
Think of this 99 as another free card to be used towards the set 4 collection on your way to a 99 Big Mac which is considerably better than the collection reward. You'll be happier. If you don't like either of the final program cards...then congrats. You saved yourself a bit of mindless grinding and can focus your attention elsewhere. Nothing wrong with that.
Could care less whether or not it’s usable, i couldn’t see them topping the MVP Core card anyway so if i want to use Sammy I’m totally content with that card.
It’s just mind boggling the thought process behind this. They played up this program for a week plus and considering how important this moment in baseball history is they (imo) fumbled the hell out of it. That McGwire card is filthy, but a majority of the casuals (even the semi grinders) aren’t going to put the time in for it.
I love this game. I’ll never stop playing it no matter what, but the content has been both confusing and somewhat disappointing.

I get you don’t want to replicate his MVP card because it’s the same year but what in the actual heck? Card should be a 94 overall
Pointer for 24
What can be done about acquiring players rights?
What are we expecting from Set 6?
Too Grindy
Looking for a new TV, could use some guidance
Paul DeJong 99
What RHP are you having luck with?
