@GixxerRyder750 I think there are definite perks, but I think they could have used a juiced up Tim Raines card (the 99 perhaps) as captain and the team would not have been that different and it would definitely not be unbalanced or unfair.
There seemed to be the idea to keep the captains at a lower rating (92-95) because there was a fear that they could be too powerful??? It just makes them irrelivant.
Going forward next year, maybe make the captains 99s, BUT make it so they have to be on the team they are boosting. Captains should have to be in the lineup.
