I guess main point of our disagreement is that I don't care at all about the name of collection, I want variety and I don't want to grind for the same players all over again. Will you really get excited about worse Ohtani card than his milestone and same Lindor card with +1 speed over his playoff card?

It seems like SDS went back to what they were doing in the past (before MLB 23) and by that I mean they will not give Finest card to the most deserving player, like for example Ohtani for Dodgers, but they will give it to the most deserving player that doesn't have endgame card yet, which is great decision. The only exception seems to be Judge but that's probably because all Yankees players have 99 card already because of their playoff run. I really really hope those collection/BR/ranked season rewards will not be players like Lindor, Ohtani, Skenes etc. It was terrible last year having 4 endgame Trouts, 4 Ohtanis, 3 Realmutos and so on

I will rush it, I am glad they will release this card. I am happy they are finally (little bit late..) giving 99s to legends that did not have decent cards. Definitely better than fourth 99 Mike Trout or Schwarber.

Pure guess if I'm right SDS should just give them to me lol

Thinking it's going to be Finest Series:

96' Greg Maddux
97' Larry Walker
99' Mariano Rivera

I highly doubt it’s any of the cards you listed above. They already have good 99 versions of their cards. There are actually quite a few legends who have not received a 99 card yet. These are the ones I found:

Warren Spahn
Al Kaline
Jerry Hairston Jr.
Ryan Ludwick
Lefty Grove
Bert Blyleven
Ron Guidry
Bret Saberhagen
Paul Konerko
Edgar Martinez
Jason Kendall
Monte Irvin

I’m assuming the last 2 Finders Keepers cards will be from that list. However, I do think that the final Finders Keepers collection reward will be Lou Gehrig or Honus Wagner. The 99 versions that they have in the game right now are pretty weak.

So many legends missing their deserving 99 cards, makes me wonder why we got three 99s for Elly, Schwarber, Machado, Realmuto, Tucker (but no Bregman for example?).. let's say they were so stunned by their performances that they thought all those 99s for them are deserving, but why do we have two Alan Trammells which are pretty much identical? We could have Kaiju Trammel and Awards Al Kaline. Awards and Snapshot Carter? Again almost identical cards. Instead of one Carter we could have Edgar Martinez for example. I assume I am in the minority that doesn't mind sets but some decisions are just weird from SDS side. And don't get me started on no sell rewards from events, but that's completely different topic

Hey guys, I’ll be away from my console for the next few days. Are there really only 6 12-win reward cards? Every year, I try to collect every card. I have played religiously, done every RS and BR program, but have really struggled in events and was unable to complete most of the 30 wins required to get the 12-win rewind.

This would be pretty frustrating. Can you reset your progress and complete the event reward path multiple times?

Just checked. Some give you more than one. If my math is correct, there are 22 12 Win packs, and 22 12 Win cards.

Only bad thing is all the rewind packs are non-sellable.

So no clue what people, whom already won and locked in these cards, are supposed to do with NS duplicate.

I don't really understand what made them think that non-sellable packs are good idea at the end of game cycle. For example I want to buy 99 Baez, there are already 10 buy orders of 1 million. And in the past week there was only ONE card sold as there is no supply. So first I will need to get 1 mil and then wait till March for that card. Brilliant

Or play the Event. Although, then you'll deal with people abusing the Captain's exploit.

Of course, that would be my choice in any other sports game, but sadly The Show is unplayable online from Europe. I am fine locking cards behind online play but at the end of the year I believe they should make every card easily obtainable (as they pretty much did with every other card except for event rewards)

Why the hell they did all event rewards no sell??? I am unable to play online from Europe because of their terrible servers and the only thing I was looking forward to was buying past event rewards that was almost impossible to buy lately as there was no supply. Also for players that played online all year it is pointless as they have all those players already and they can't even make some profit out of it. Stupid decision

Use retro finest, yes. If it was current finest cards then there would be "Finest 2023 series players"

@BiigD008 said in 40-70 Acuna question:

The AS Acuna is better so if you have that I'd definitely entertain selling if you need the stubs.

I don't think it is better, but it's not a whole lot worse.

It absolutely is. Try subbing him in for the AS version so you can compare the stats between the 2. The AS is equal or higher on all but 2 stats I think. I guess some folks just assume if a card is released later in the game means it is better.

MS Acuna is better than AS Acuna what are you talking about?

MS Acuna is 125/123 contact with 115/115 power vs left and right

AS Acuna is 125/125 contact and 102/115 power

MS Acuna also has higher vision 116 compared to AS Acuna’s 111 vision.

Their speed and fielding is pretty identical

Milestone Acuna has better hitting attributes which makes him better since everything else is pretty much equal

He has probably AS card parallel 5 and milestone card parallel 0 (but even then I would not say with so much confidence that AS card is better). This is so confusing because everyone can see that literally every single stat except for contact vs left 123/125 is same or better (by quite some margin) on milestone card. Even reactions 87/82 or speed 95/90. He is correct about the other cards J-Ram, Adley etc. but definitely wrong with Acuna. Or he is sneaky and he is trying to lower the price of milestone Acuna

It will just tell you that the card is "no sell" and that's it.

@sbchamps17 said in New finest choice pack:

Wrong on the chase pack, you lose alot more than that considering everyone only pulls a 85 low live series diamond, I got Verlander and he's only going for 4000 stubs

Right now Murphy is going for 40k, for example Burger from base round is going for 36k. Without tax it is about 69k (hehe), so add your live series player and you lost incredible 2k stubs. And that's the worst case scenario. It might change when more people open the pack, but right now it is totally worth it. Or are you not willing to risk 2k stubs for a chance to get 500k? (Even though I know it is very small chance, but even the rare round from choice pack 1/4 chance will get you nice profit)

There is also chase pack, it is 100 % worth it. At worst you will lose 10k, at best you can get 1 mil. The chance is small but 10k is nothing.

Should we expect more? I believe we are done with new cards for today sadly.

Yeah, I think we are done. I thought we were getting a new program today as well but just looked and that is coming on the 21st. My mistake

On the plus side I can spend more time playing Assassin's Creed Nexus.

Originally it was on the schedule as you said but they changed it during the week to 21st. Enjoy, it is Baldur's Gate time for me

@Dolenz said in New Card Reveals for 11/17 (including finest Machado):

Just the event reward cards have been revealed so far on Twitter

@nymets1987 said in 11.17 NEW ??????? ??????? COLLECTION:

Collect new Set 5 players!; Earn new 99 OVR rewards!

Any guesses?

Pretty sure you mean 11/21

They changed it yesterday. Originally there was 11/17.

They received 8 post season cards and they will receive more on Friday. There is your explanation. But I am sure they will receive finest cards too and then there will be a lot of complaints why we are getting the same players all over again

Trout is finest for Angels... And I thought nothing will disappoint me more than some of those "legends" retro finest. Yay Tony Clark for Tigers again. Who else was stupid as me thinking that Trout will not get another card and locked his chase card in collection? This is the only card that I hope they will actually make bad so I don't feel that stupid

edit: oh wrong thread, I wanted to post it to "cards revealed" thread, sorry guys

@skywalker_25_PSN said in Who have been the Chase pack players?:

I pulled WBC Ohtani on my very first Chase pack. I've yet to pull another since.

Same for me. Because of that I thought that chase pack is guaranteed chase player until I pulled second chase pack and got gold player. I am glad I am not smart and I did not buy 75k bundle for "guaranteed profit".

So that's because of you two I am getting only golds from those!

@nymets1987_PSN said in 1:6 odds for program packs is absolute trash:

These odds are back I assume for this program?

Yes, they are back. They improved the odds to 1:5. Completing showdown will grant you 14 packs again (for the first time) and again I got 14 gold cards. Last week I had to flip cards like an idiot to complete the program and this week I will have to do the same, because for some reason I just can't get any diamonds from those "chance" packs.
