Someone get this man a 1986 Gary Carter WS captain, please and thank you.

I'll have to give this a try. Feels a little more balanced?

@SaveFarris_PSN said in Please add G Carter Mets Capt in Set 3:

Mets Season 2 Cap was Leiter so we know it'll be a position player. And we know the Nationals/Expos WON'T have Captain Carter b/c Robles was the Season 2 Cap.

... Maybe?

Another fantastic thing about Gary Carter (the list is enormous) was his great performances in the All-Star Game. He won the MVP a couple of times, hit some memorable homers, and who could forget the incredible play blocking the plate as he received that incredible heat-seeking missile launched from The Cobra!

Homering in an All-Star game would just have to be such an euphoric experience…on the stage will all your contemporaries and rising to the top! The man had ice water in his veins. He didn’t even flinch when that unforgettable 1986 season came down (essentially) to him and rested on his very capable shoulders.

Dont appear to be, other then the optional collection of 95s

Glad I am not the only one

@RazorForte45_XBL said in Playing w Lower tiered squads:

If you pitch well and can locate you can keep the score down.

If you can come through with a timely hit with little pci you can pull off the win online.

The best players are so much past the level of May.

Yeah, I lost in the bottom of the 10th against the Dodgers.

@RazorForte45_XBL said in Kirk Gibson no pinch hitter quirk:

Guys…
Last year I used Jesse Winker and M Cabrera on my bench and both had the PH quirk.

It is beyond useful as it both made a bigger pci and seemingly the timing zone more forgiving.

I get the 90 clutch rating as it may be an indicator of his full 88 season stats with runners on base in 2 out and late situations.

But having a PH Active quirk is very much the same as Pedro having outlier.

Active quirks can totally exist on legends.

For all the complaining that comes from the board about SDS not knowing baseball.

Often… i shut it out and move on.

But… this one is such a layup that it just has to be addressed.

I get that programmers/coders put this game together.

But who at SDS just loves Baseball so much that this type of stuff matters to them?

Outlier doesn't count as an active quirk. Neither does pop time. Active quirks are ones like dead read, breaking ball hitter, home/away, rally monkey, and pinch hitter

Great team.
Mine for now until better players are added.

Once i get Utley he will be my second baseman and Morgan will go to the bench with probably Clemte getting the short end.

C. Jason Kendall - Finest
1B. Billy Williams - Finest
2B - Joe Morgan - LOTF
SS - Jimmy Rollins - Finest
3B - Chipper Jones - Awards
LF - David Justice - Signature
CF - Hank Aaron - LOTF
RF - Gary Sheffield - Finest

Bench
Troy Glaus - Finest
Cedric Mullins - Milestone
Larry Walker - Second Half
Roberto Clemente - Finest
Mookie Betts - Lightning

Looks like a solid squad. Do you not use a backup catcher because of Kendall's speed?

I think I just mix up my squad so much because I'm indecisive and I like using so many cards haha.

Kendall's speed is fine, he has 84 speed, he flies around the bases. I've hit triples with him. If i have to use a backup catcher though it would be amike Napoli or Jorge Posada.

This is my main squad. I will of course still mix up my other lineups because i love trying every player out. For instance now that im done the Sheffield grind I'm going to do the divisons for the 5kXP. I love doing all time teams

I love all time teams and building division teams. Definitely something I miss about TA.

Yeah sorry, I phrased that weird. I meant because Kendall has such good speed for a catcher, You don't use a backup. I always have a backup catcher so I can pinch run if needed and now I use Kendall for that haha.

I have Jorge’s LotF, but haven’t had a chance to use the card yet. I had Biggio there, but used Realmuto while he was boosted for a game or two playing CQ. I actually pulled Kendall from a free Headliners pack - the regular ones, not the choice packs - I still have yet to use him.

PS. Have you got any of my PMs?

Yeah, just write you back. I don't always get notifications on DMs.

Kendall is a great backup catcher with that speed. Posada is my guy right now for sure.

I recommend Biggio over Kendall if you need a speed option for backup catcher.

Oh yeah, love Biggio.

I was gonna say naked, but yours is good too!

Old NY players I am sucker for. Mat or Yank

Frank was most of the year, but Juan Soto has taken that honor since the HRD.
