Did Mariano Rivera warrant being kicked out the game?

@MarioMendoza935_XBL

I’m terrified of losing Wagner as well. I never played the game when Cobb was in. I feel like he’d be a similar hitter to Honus but left handed. He’s also strictly an outfielder. I really want Cobb in the game. I love the nostalgia of those SUPER old players. It hurt to lose Walter Johnson last year. I don’t get that. He didn’t have a long windup and he was super fun to play with. Tris Speaker is another guy players talk about. Never got to play with him either.

Depends on what kind of needle we’re talking about. Bonds, ARod, and Canseco all moved plenty of needles. McGwire, Sosa, Ortiz, and Palmeiro are all also bigtime needle movers who are in the game.

Notice the BIGGEST needle movers aren’t in the game. Bonds and Canseco.

I’d add Ichiro and Deion (I know he wasn’t the greatest, but then man does move needles.)

Ichiro for sure! Does he still have the deal with Japanese Baseball that kept them from signing him?

I’m still excited about a new game BUT streamers and majority have been disappointed in legend reveals. You can include me in that particular gripe. I’m sure they have anywhere from 1-3 legends yet to be revealed. Buster Posey (who leaked) is one of them.

Last year, I know Beltran was up their sleeve. I believe Gil Hodges was too. Ted Williams and Clemens were the two guys that “moved the needle” for me last year. Beltran and Hodges both turned out to be awesome, but I certainly didn’t expect that.

We need more and I think we get it. Forget about Bonds, it ain’t gonna happen. But I wish SDS would be transparent about it. If he doesn’t want in the game, the fanbase will move on and stop the chatter. If it’s about $$$, I think that helps the fanbase get a grasp that he’s greedy and won’t take a deal like Griffey. Again we move on. But a legend like him, I just think transparency is key. This would be the same for say Pete Rose and Ty Cobb. 1 and 2 respectfully in all time hits. WHY are they not here? Is it their estate, or is it a conscience discussion by SDS not to include them.

Other needle movers are Joe DiMaggio, Sandy Koufax, Bo Jackson and maybe ARod.

I can’t think of anyone else. Walter Johnson would be nice to see back. Jose Canseco 40/40 card?

Any thoughts?

For a collection THAT expensive, the NL WEST award should be Sandy Koufax because we know they ain’t getting 25.

I’m 100% with you. I can’t wrap my head around not adding Ty Cobb. I think they will have around three more big ones they save for last minute. If you remember, we didn’t get Beltran and I think Gil Hodges announced till last second last year. Posey already leaked. I think we get Lincecum too. But I’m holding out for Cobb.

Clemens and Williams were enough for me last year. I’m not excited about any of these additions.

Nutting makes too much money off the Pirates. He Will not sell them. The ONLY hope is a salary cap floor. I think with revenue sharing in place, this is the fairest way to do it. At that point yes, if you are not gonna spend the money, you have to sell to someone that will. Rich owners at this point need to push the cheap owners out of the league.

I assume Cobb would be basically a left hand hitting Honus Wagner. Exclusively an outfielder though. I think he’d be amazing to have in the game. Not really anybody like him. Oscar Charleston or Richie Ashburn maybe? But I don’t remember Ashburn being 99 speed/steal which Cobb would be as well as 99 bunt. He was the 1st HOF class. Need him back.

I hope we get Ty Cobb back and he becomes AL or AL Central reward. I think Dwight Gooden would be a nice new player reward as well. But I think it will be pleasant but underwhelming like Tejada,Jose Reyes or Hanley Ramirez.

I have always wondered if SDS looks or even cares about the fanbase’s wishlist for legends.

I would assume so. Last year they let go of an inner circle hall of famer, considered pretty much universally the top player at his position. I don't think they would have done that if people mostly didn't like using him

im confused. They let go of a hall of famer? If they let go of someone everybody uses, that means they don’t care.

Who are we talking about? Schmidt?

I have always wondered if SDS looks or even cares about the fanbase’s wishlist for legends.
Ted Williams last year was DEFINATELY a top addition for the masses. I’m sure the money they have to pay for the rights is an issue. Players like Barry Bonds doesn’t want to give up his likeness or the asking price is too high. But players like Cobb, you have to wonder if it’s his estate or SDS choice. SDS has never been transparent about it.

Good list. Ty Cobb should obviously be in the game. Jose Canseco 40/40 card would be one of the best cards ever. It’s ridiculous.

Willie Mays and Hank Aaron, period.

I had a Chase Pack last week in my packs that was a fantasy pack where you can choose 1 player. It had a large selection of 8 or more Chase Players to choose from (chose Chipper). I thought that was the same as the Chase pack you can get from the Mini Season... guess not.

This is what I thought was meant by “complete chase pack”. Am I wrong to think that means a guaranteed chase card? I don’t like they did this. Just call it a chase pack SDS!

Sunset conquest has a “complete chase pack”. SDS, what does this mean compared to a regular chase pack?

What defines a “complete chase pack” as listed as a reward in the finest mini season vs a regular chase pack? Anyone?

Because I didn’t get a Chase card. I got a live series low diamond.

In the new finest mini-season, one of the reward for goals is a “complete chase pack”. If this is a “complete chase pack”, why am I getting a live series diamond?

I also just finished the multi-player program to get a chase pack at the end. Another live series diamond. That’s BS. At this point in the year, just ridiculous.

I don’t understand how a “complete chase pack” rewards you with live series Gabe Speier? That doesn’t seem right.

Chase Packs should guarantee a chase card at this point of the year. Even the “complete Chase pack” reward in new finest mini season got me a live series diamond. That’s not right, and not what is advertised. I’m going to post about in shortly.

@NWOStunna_PSN We had Stieb a few years ago. Anchored my rotation.

They used the 1982 Topps card. Not sure why he hasn't been back since.

Nice to see him instead of another Yankee.
