@Shauwn - I agree you need to get out, all you do is complain on here either play the game without complaining or just don't play it and stay off the forums
I'm being attacked and mocked by the worst gamers in the game, you included. I decided to let most go until I chose to defend myself. What happened next? This... Lol.
Enjoy playing the game on rookie/veteran against the cpu. Hope you can one day win on Allstar. I'm pulling for ya.

Legend players are less than 1% of DD ranked players. Absolutely no one gives a toss about legend cry babies
Those who play at a high level do.
Most ppl on here are offline casuals who suck at the game. Your opinions don't really matter at all bc well, you are either too scared to play online or you like most who mocked me are trash at the game.I am definitely trash at the game and I'm cool with that, I still have fun or try to. But the hilarious aspect of ppl like you who say casuals and those who suck at the game don't matter haven't quite figured out that if it wasn't for us then you broke helmet wearing window lickers wouldn't even have a game to play.
This is why SDS chose to cater and reward bad gamers this year moreso than in previous years.
I assure u I'm not broke, I don't wear special needs helmets, and I haven't licked a windows since I was 5. Btw, at least you try. That's actually admirable.

Aurillia and Betts are used more on Legend based on ppl I play and just looking at the top players teams. The number 1 is still Seager of course.
I've stated this a few times. This account is a secondary account. I had to create a new Shownation account last year when my main got wiped.
So you don't have no other account? Got it. You are so full of it man. If you do, tell us the name of it. You claim you have another account that is World Series that is HoF/Legend. So whats the name of that account?
If I ever get matched up with you, I'll msg you who I really am. Until then, think what you want. I don't really care, nor do I need to prove anything to anyone.

@TheCanuckler309 mm hmm. Dude been talking lots and lots on here. I don't know anyone who has a girls account, maybe he does i dunno but i haven't seen him once on his account
ijs.
It's a secondary account she plays on with me for the last 6 years. She made her own account, but too many virgins kept msging her due to her account name being "Badazzgamerchick." She got sick of the virgins and prefers to play on this account with or without me.

Says contact isn’t high enough but Betts is a top option at SS with his 82/86 contact lol
Tbf, Betts has been supercharged a cpl times already. Most ppl on Legend use him more when he's supercharged.
Aurillia and Betts are used more on Legend based on ppl I play and just looking at the top players teams. The number 1 is still Seager of course.

This guy among other streamers who are playing on Legend like me say the same thing.
Why couldn't SDS give him 90-95 Clutch, and 80 vision? These numbers actually matter on higher difficulties.
In events with my girl he is 2 for 2 with a hr his 1st ab and a single.
Playing him on allstar will be fun for anyone. He will mash. But on HOF and Legend, very few is using him.
The top ss options on Legend are: Seager, Betts, Banks, Aurillia, and Story kinda surprisingly.

@Shauwn
I’m using Witt, I guess I’m not competitive enough for some people though
️
Anyone who chooses to use Witt, more power to ya.
I plan on using him in Events with my girl today. She actually likes the card and thinks he's the best SS in game with his speed, fielding, and hitting. She argued with me that he's the perfect leadoff hitter and I'm crazy, lol.
@TheCanuckler309 said in Why do the Season Award Program?:
@Shauwn how you going to talk about people using him “don’t play online competitively” when you’re 15-7 total in ranked hitting .307? Lol you wouldn’t know what competitive play was if it was staring you in the face
This account is not my main account. I play with my girl on this account, and she also plays games on her own.
@JayJonez187 said in Why do the Season Award Program?:
I understand some what where the OP is coming from ...in years past the lightning card was always phenomenal ...every month the card was one of the best cards ...this witt is a mid card but no where near how glitchy and good the past POTM cards have been...thats my only complaint ..is seems to me the POTM is a back burner content and not top notch like it used to be
This person gets it.
The lightning card art looks amazing, but the overall meta stats are lacking to be considered as a top tier card.
The only ppl who disagrees are those who don't play online competitively.
Most competitive online gamers will still use Betts, Seager, Banks, and even Aurillia, Story, or Cabrera over Witt.
In my non Captain boost God squad, I'm using Aurillia. He doesn't have the speed Witt has, but his quirks and hitting stats, excluding the 76 power are better, and he's just a 93...
If my math and calculations are wrong, will someone please explain how baseball Averages, OPS, and Slugging % is calculated? Oh wait, no need. I can do that.
Before I continue, does ANYPNE disagree with this? I sure as Phuck hope not, for your own sake.
Ok, next fact. Show zone literally used the same calculations as I did on Averaging oit Witt's overall batting and power. Just look for yourself. Actually, I'll show you. Then anyone is welcome to check/verify my numbers, lol.
Hitting Attributes:
CON L: 90
CON R: 113
AVG CON: 101.5
They added both Contacts which equal 203. DIVIDE that number by (((2))) And you get 101.5
PWR L: 96
PWR R: 84
AVG PWR: 90
Once again, let's do the same thing. Combining both power numbers = 180. Divide that by 2 and you get 90.
Now, adding 101.5 and 90 = 191.5. Divide that number and you get 95.75!
THIS IS HOW THEY DO THEUR RATINGS!
I AGREE THAT BASED ON THESE NUMBERS, HIS CARD IS WITHOUT A DOUBT, A 95 OVERALL RATED CARD!
HOWEVER, when I rate a card, I add in the vision and Clutch, and sometimes the disc to determine the overall hitting rating. The math and calculations are done exactly the same way by adding up all the hitting stats and dividing. This is how you fully calculate a player's overall rating. The overall rating is not supppsed to be just his Con and Power added and divided.
This is why I came forward and created this thread.
His 84 clutch lowers those numbers when runners are in scoring position. The low 60's vision also lowers those numbers due to the pci and swing zone being reduced. Then u have his abysmal 50's Disc. Most check swings will be called strikes.
SDS could have given Witt better clutch and vision to keep his overall rating from being watered down.
Btw, I created a new account and went into ranked. I faced Witt 10 times without runners in scoring position, and 10 times with runners in scoring position. I literally walked guys just to face him with runners in scoring position, lol.
He is 3 for 10 with 2 doubles without runners in scoring position.
He's 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position by hitting a 3 run bomb 
guess I deserved that, lol. But he's also only hitting .100.
He's much better without runners in scoring position. This is part of my argument as to why he won't be used much especially on Legend. I literally heard many of the top streamers and seen the top ranked gamers teams. Witt is nowhere to be seen. Most tried him out just for fun. But very few actually use him on their God Squad.
But if his Clutch was at least 95 and vision was at least 75, more ppl would use him on their god squad.
My point out of all of this is: SDS PURPOSELY gimped his card by giving him low clutch and vision. It's to control the power creep. They don't want to give out a free S tier HOF-Lefend program card that will be on everyone's team for months.
Xp earned just by playing regular games is a joke compared to previous years, whether it's online or offline. People had to resort to grinding mini seasons for the xp bonuses more than in previous years.
@simo0208 said in Why do the Season Award Program?:
@Shauwn I don't think you really hoped for anything but an argument. Once you get my age, it's way easier to just take a deep breath and move on. New cards will come out next week and none of this will matter in 2-3 weeks in all honesty.
An argument or debate is the last thing I wanted to happen. Yet, ppl chose to debate, argue, and mock what is literally in front of their face. I can try to explain it to people, but I can't understand it for them no matter how much I try to.
Anyway, hope u have a good night.
@JDHalfrack
You don’t have to like the card, or like the fact that it’s a lightning card, but quit making up this bullcrap rating system.
The bull [censored] rating system is a called math, created by the Sumerians, which is used extensively even today. You'll be shocked and amazed what math could teach you.
Even now, you don't understand the math behind the ratings/stats, but you do understand what overall numbers represent.
So at least I see some progress.
@doobiebross66-72 s
“Another site” is far more reputable than “Shauwn” the crybaby who’s whined incessantly about this game since launch
What you post just simply isn’t accurate as much as you want to insult others who disagree with your garbage calculations
Not wasting any more time on this joke of a thread
I really hoped even you would understand. But based on this response, it's like trying to explain this to my puppy hoping he'd understand. It's ok bro, enjoy using the top 3 meta ss in the game. Hope u mash with him on HOF and Legend!
@doobiebross66-72
Completely blows up OP’s ridiculous “calculations” that he claims is “math”
Go read my previous post if you actually want to learn and understand how to properly calculate ratings. I truly hope you'll understand. If not, then hope is lost with you.
@doobiebross66-72 said in Why do the Season Award Program?:
94.72 Meta overall according to a much more reputable source that has done these calculations for a few years.
But keep saying how dumb and stupid other people are OP.
You do realize those calculations are based on a few specific stats, right? You don't think I don't know about that site?
They factor in the highest hitting stats, combined with the best fielding stats, rhrn also include the speed/stealing, etc. Then they compare them to other true position players to factor in the overall rating.
They used his 113 Con vs R
His 96 Pow vs L,
99 Speed/97 Steal
Even his 90 Con vs L to compare with other cards "overall stats" to come up with their own "Meta rating."
They DO NOT factor in the shytty 84 clutch, 65 Vision, low 77 fielding reaction, horrendous 52 disc.
I know how they rate their cards. It's a good source to compare to other positions.
Once again, and I'll try to spell it out so even you can understand.
The overall rating says 95.. The stats do not equal a 95 rated card. If u just factor in his Con and Pow vs Left and Right, that would equal (((95)))
But, clutch replaces the Contact. So replace the Con numbers with 84 when runners are in scoring position. What do u have? (((87)))
That's just clutch.
Now let's do both sides.
Pow Vs Righties with clutch = (((84)))
Pow Vs Lefties with clutch = (((90)))
Now lets add Vision and Clutch with pow vs R= (((78)))
Vision, clutch, + Pow vs L = (((82)))
The numbers go down when you factor in Clutch and vision. This is just an example of Witt's overall and situational hitting rating.
If you don't understand these numbers, please refrain from trying to mock me based on information you saw from another site. You clearly have no clue what the numbers represent.
Bobby Witt is not the 3rd best SS.
He's literally the 7th best, and every one of those cards has a lower overall rating than him.
My entire point of this thread was to throw this out there so SDS would stop watering down their free program cards, and ppl would see exactly what they are doing.
But apparently, every single one of you are as dumb as SDS thinks you are.
So who's the joke on, really?
You idiots. Lol smh.
@Dolenz64.
You're absolutely right. The 95 Witt card is probably the best free program SS you can get. I agree 100%!
That's actually part of my point. You know it, God knows it, little Timmy knows it, and SDS knows it. This is why they chose to give the card a 95 overall rating, but intentionally watered down the stats. It's really an 88 overall card with a 95 overall rating. They watered down the stats bc they knew 98% of the playerbase would grind for him.
This is why I created the thread. I chose to share this info and my thoughts regarding the overall stats for a 95 card is actually awatered down fraud 95 card.
I listed the other players I'd rather use simply bc yes they are mostly boosted with the Buxton or Arenado captain. Cards like Ernie Banks is not. His card, "hitting wise" is better than Witt, and he's not a 95. One could argue well Witt has 99 speed. Yes he does. No argument here. But his hitting numbers are higher than Witt's, and Witt is a higher overall.
Remember, speed does NOT factor in a cards rating. There are 50 rated cards with 90+ speed.
My whole point for the thread is to show how disappointed I am. I wanted to use hos card competitively. I could still use him on HOF or Legend, but he'd count as one of 2 cards not needed for the captain boost. I'd rather use those slots on other cards, preferably 2 Outfielders with the Arenado boost.
@sbchamps17 said in Why do the Season Award Program?:
Then why say anything about the program to begin with if you were just gonna do it anyway, if you don't like the way the game is this year then don't play and certainly don't complain about everything little thing on it
Why do people post on these forums at all? To be heard and get feedback from the community.
It seems most of you don't agree with how disappointing Witt's 95 lightning card is. And you know what? That's fine. You're entitled to your own opinion. Most of those who disagree are offline gamers who have a hard time against the CPU on allstar. These gamers don't understand what meta and top tier means simply bc they don't play competitively online. Which is also fine.
If I sucked and only played on rookie/veteran against the cpu, I probably would react the same way as many of u.
I wouldn't understand my own argument, and I'd probably tell myself to go play another game, don't do the program, don't use Witt, and go kick rocks.
I honestly wouldn't even know how stupid I'd sound, simply bc I wouldn't understand the argument.
