Competition is good but EA is a terrible company. Don't expect a great game from them. They completely ruined Madden. I played it for over 20 years before I finally gave up a few years ago and stopped buying it.

They've definitely changed the lower level difficulties. Rookie is just ridiculous most of the time with bronze pitchers either dotting the corners or throwing way out of the zone. I'm not even going to get into the super human gold glove defense that gets played by all of the bronze cards. It's made things way more annoying this year. I have far less desire to play the game and we're not even to the AS break yet.

The one that has stood out to me so far is Andres Gimenez. I'm really loving that card so far.

my god you guys are a broken [censored] record.

I realize it is a pain to see if you are not a fan of the Cardinals and it's cool to insult Cardinal fans but let's be honest, if Goldy played for any other team, then that teams fans would be complaining just as much. Nobody likes to see worthy players on their favorite team snubbed.

It will pass once it has been vented.

Exactly. It’s also because it has happened to the Cards the first two months of the season. Add in the pretty worthless Futures card for the Cardinals and it’s easy to understand why Cards fans aren’t happy with SDS right now.

They must have fixed it because I just played this and somehow gave up a solo shot to Ward on an up and in fastball and then gave up a bloop single and I failed it.

You can get it on XBox also if you have Game Pass Ultimate.

My favorite is the CQC Rush. I really like how it keeps my thumb on the center of the stick.

Packs have been terrible for me the past month. The very few diamonds that I've pulled have been 85-88 cards.

Yea, I noticed all of those incorrect stats. No idea where they pulled those from.

Guess we're never going to get a usable card for him.

It's a cool thing for two players that have had fantastic careers.

Letting the "fans" decide anything is laughable. That's what has ruined the All Star game.

Of course one of the missions is for stolen bases, which I hate trying to get. Seems like I'll have to do it this time.

SBs are easy against CPU. Or are you talking about in online Games? There is a trick that works pretty well using R2, watch some YouTube videos. I could try and explain but I'm not the best at explaining. I'm sure there are much better content creators who can.

I’ll have to look for the trick because I haven’t been able to get them at all this year against the CPU.

I’m at the game right now. Nothing from Albert today unfortunately.

The Cards desperately need a new legend! I love the Wiz, but his cards just don’t play in this game. Never have.

Don't the Cards usually have a lot of legends? Gibson, Musial, Brock, Sutter, sometimes Keith Hernandez, sometimes Jim Edmonds... is Lee Smith still in the game? I know we lost Hornsby and I guess also Enos Slaughter. But I do really hope that Ted Simmons is in the game next year. SDS needs to get crackin' on the catcher legends (Yogi, Camp, Simmons, FISK!, Gibson, Munson, Cochrane, etc)

Never mind -- I just looked up Lee Smith and he only played in St Louis for 4 years, so I guess that wouldn't be a good fit for Legends of the Franchise. For some reason I really thought he spent the first half of his career with the Cubs and the second half with the Cards. Weird.

This game NEEDS Ted Simmons!

Amen!! Especially with us losing Molina after this year.

I am huge Ozzie fan but as mentioned he doesn't hit well enough in this game. I'd be happy with 50 or 60 power. Just enough to get it over the infield and gap the outfields now and then.

That said, Masyn Winn has been pretty good for me but my heart would rather use Ozzie.

Who do you think the majority of Cards fans would say is your franchise's All-Time greatest catcher? It's got to be Yadi, right? But I feel like there's a good case for Simmons, too. He was before my time, so I'm not as familiar with him as I am with Molina. Either way, they're both all-time greats.

Curious what other Cards fans @Ericulous1_PSN might say, too.

Ted Simmons was a much better hitter than Yadi but Yadi far exceeded him on defense and handling pitchers.

I'm at 430k XP. The last ASG pack is at 400k so there's not much incentive for me to keep grinding this program. The rest of the packs, until you get to the next Ballin Out Of Control pack at 850k, are pretty worthless to me.

I've also been wanting a Ted Simmons card for years. He was my favorite player growing up and he's in the HOF. It would be a great card.

The one that has stood out to me so far is Andres Gimenez. I'm really loving that card so far.

I had much better luck the first month the game was out.

OP confirmed. What a [censored] joke. Ball after ball, or pitches on the black. Have to swing to avoid walking.

22 is a [censored] trainwreck. I should have known when franchise got NOTHING added to it and all their hype was about Nintendo Switch, crossplay, and co-op. Jesus, trying to wrestle the crown away from EA, and odds are about even at this point...

It’s on rookie you scrub, pitches on the black are just as easy to hit out.

Not the point, fool. I didn't have any problems with the moments. BP pitchers pitching on the black...nice programming! SDS is a joke. Those of you who defend them are too at this point.

It’s laughable that you immediately think people responding to your trash is defending SDS. Most of us understand and agree with all the nonsense that is wrong with this game, we just don’t feel the need to cry, moan and whine multiple times a day about it.

I just wanted to emphasize the last part of this post.

Hopefully there are hidden rewards because what they're showing is all garbage.

Without a doubt!
