No chance in hell Dykstra or Rocker would ever be in the game.
Fair enough.
In 2025, probably a different story though given guys like Kirby Puckett and Roberto Alomar.
The HRD card? And are you referring to the Finest collection because that will only include Finest cards.

@Teak2112_MLBTS said in A Breakdown of all 99 OVR Cards Currently in the game:
The position where you need the most cards of course has the fewest.
I feel like they should give every team the Herget treatment: everyone gets a finest for their best non closer reliever.
Agreed. Too many teams are very lacking in the bullpen especially in the middle relief department.
This is the part where I once again ask for a diamond Tim Hill.
Moonshot event has been a staple for years. C'mon.

@brainfreeze442_PSN said in Cody Bellinger:
I think even Max Fried could get one. Have they announced the TA pick yet?
Its the Yankees. I am sure that they will somehow get multiple Finest cards eventually
That's the spirit. 
I think the Yanks Finest will either be him or Rodon. Somebody else suggested Jazz in another thread which is certainly possible, but I'd prefer Belli.
However, since their theme team is already absolutely stacked on the offensive side, I really wouldn't mind if they surprised us with a reliever Finest for either Fernando Cruz or Tim Hill.
Soto and Chapman for sure.
Kurtz already has a very comparable 99 and a decent 98 as well.
Thinking the Yanks will either be Bellinger or Rodon.
Would a Finest Tim Hill make me cry? That doesn't matter, but it would be appreciated.
They really scaled back on Captains this year. In 2024 they ran rampant and some of the more meta ones definitely got exposed/abused, but Captains as well as overall theme teams seem almost non-existent.
Curious if they scrap them entirely next year or maybe do a major overhaul of how they're utilized.
I've had ZERO luck with Chase packs this year and then got one from the Spooky path. Chase Chipper and the very next pack I opened was LS Judge.
Luck will eventually fall your way.
@Vipersneak_MLBTS said in Are 99 OVR Cards becoming meaningless at this stage?:
Why would you want the best cards to come out in November?? You guys make no sense. Very few people still playing in November.
This is exactly the predicament. You need to keep the player base engaged when the game is still at its peak which would be around mid season.
Hard to fault SDS for their progression model considering the people still playing in November are probably not their target audience since they know the lifers ain't going anywhere.
@SchnauzerFace_MLBTS said in No Halloween Conquest Map?:
This feels like a bit of a lazy 10th inning program. I know we have the WS stuff and finest programs in the next week or so… but those are separate programs. This is a new inning and there’s very little to do. A conquest map would have been nice. Or stat grind program with the new Negro Leagues cards. I also wish they hadn’t stopped the cornerstone evolution programs, too. A mini season update would also have been appreciated.
Hard to complain about like 15 free 99s at once, but they could've added some kind of program structure for the NLB cards possibly a few moments or even a Showdown/Conquest. They really haven't done a great job incentivizing the player base to use these cards especially with the year-long TA grind where they were worthless.
And while I'm sure many are tired of collections, I think they could've done something cool here to add some extra content while giving people a reason to use these updated cards. For example, maybe accumulate 50k PXP using the new NLB 99s and that would unlock 99 Satchel Paige instead of having him available through a totally separate mode.
They have unfortunately gotten the customer base accustomed to 99s by the ASG and I'm not sure how they can go back at this point.
Go look at some of the attributes of the Finest cards that came out in 2017 or 2018 before things got crazy with 125 everything. It is awesome having so much variety in the binder when it comes to 99s, but on the flip side nothing feels really special when mostly every card is on the same elite level.
@Dolenz_PSN said in Spooky Program Reveals (month long program):
Of course they snuck in a Spooky 99 Jason Dominguez into the Weekend Classic rewards because.....
Yankee
Jasson has been a Show favorite for years. He's a switch-hitting CF with speed/power and a really good swing.
I get you're not a Yankees fan, but it's not like they dropped a 99 Austin Slater.
What are people doing to get this done?
Think I can roll with my usual A team through HOF difficulty, but is there like a super speed/bunt team recommended for Legend?
I had beaten 9 of the first 10 AL/NL East teams to complete the first mission and ended up losing the final game against the Nats on Legend to consecutive bloop hits in the last inning.
I want to kick something or someone in the groin.
Not proud to admit, but I put together an elite bunting squad with speed to get through this DQ. Worked all the way down to go after Kenley first and was able to get him winning that game on Legend with like 90% odds.
Instead of backing out there, I rolled the dice and went back up to play for the other card. Didn't want to risk losing everything including Kenley playing on one of the top difficulties so I played on All-Star with 40% odds and was lucky enough to get Santana.
So while I got fortunate with my DQ run, please know that I've TWICE now pitched 8.2 perfect innings with Randy Johnson only to give up a bomb to Marcell Ozuna with two strikes. Brutal.
@Talkingben9558_XBL said in Ways to Save Extreme:
I feel like there should be some sort of collection or exchange involved where you can spend a lot of stubs for program progress with chase cards or something like that
Extreme isn't about spending stubs. C'mon.
And that's coming from a mediocre offline player who struggles enough on HOF.
@grimmdogg23_PSN said in Extreme change?:
I really am torn on this one. On one hand, it is called the Extreme Program. It is not supposed to be super easy for everyone. On the other hand, I hate locking cards behind something that lots of people cannot get accomplished without playing a million hours. SDS made two mistakes. Releasing Extreme in October and removing the Mini Seasons vouchers for progress in the program. I don't think they should make it much easier. Just give some more repeatable missions other than 40K PXP. Maybe even some type of Stub to Star exchange for a portion. Like 500K stubs for a 30 stars. That would at least shorten it by 6 PXP rotations of 40K.
Stub exchange is weak for a program like Extreme. People already complain enough that the game is "pay to win."
Add a Mini Season.
