@bloopnablast_34_psn said in Why won’t they make a good catcher!!:

3 catchers I wanna see soon.. Javy Lopez, Thurman Munson, and Mauer.

Javy Lopez would be such a fun card to use

Braves will definitely be Freeman and I'd be surprised if they don't have one or two others. Could easily see Riley and/or Morton getting a finest too. Would love to see a Soler finest but would be shocked if he did

There are different high diamond card series that could/should have been used if the intent was to make Thome a Phillies card this year. Signature series is not one of them. Thome is a Cleveland legend, everyone associates him with Cleveland. If he's getting a Sig card it has to be in a Cleveland uniform. I know it's stupid to complain about, and doesnt have any impact on the gameplay whatsoever, and you can still use him on Cleveland all time team blah blah blah - it just seems inconsistent with how they’ve historically used the signature card series to have Thome as a Philly

Couple of those Future Stars cards could be solid. Switch hitting catcher and Skubal's silver plays really nice in BR. Gorman was decent last year

Couldnt disagree more with the original post. I think this is a great set of bosses and a big step up from the last 3 bosses we had to choose from. There are a lot of great OFs but Hank is endgame caliber for sure. Truly elite stats on his card, a 5 tool player. Havent used the Tork card yet obviously, but he's an elite prospect in real life just like Adley, and looks like his card should be able to mash. I like the Vlad Jr ASG comp they made on the live stream. Tony gwynn is one of the greaters hitters of all time and a fan favorite to tons of people growing up that play this game, his card in the game isnt elite but I'm excited to use him also. I havent bought all three of the bosses from the last couple of programs because I didnt think they were worth it, but I definitely plan on it this time around.

There’s no way they don’t mess with the gameplay sliders whenever they do quick counts on all star. It’s always significantly easier to hit, it’s like playing on veteran. The average runs per event game for me is significantly higher in this event than the last with the East, despite the central having much better pitchers IMO

its due to the quirks some batters may have, pitcher confidence, etc,

I didn't realize there were player perks for quick-counts

I love Shippett it has the best batters eye by far in my opinion and it helps pad stats for parallel-ing players. Even tho it's probably not true, I'm also convinced the gameplay in Shippest is the least laggy.

Plus I consider myself a pretty good player, and I feel like there's more of a chance of a lesser player beating me by winning a slow paced, pitchers duel than in a shootout so I like playing at shippet because it enhances my chances of that happening.

I only use cards that are Braves for my theme team. It hurts this year with the good Glavine, Maddux and Justice cards not being Braves.

I usually try to do the same with my Braves team but I cant leave Madx and Glavine off. They are Braves legends thru and thru. Still salty they arent braves cards this year. I wish they'd make some sort of Sheffield Braves card too, he was one of my favorite Braves ever even tho he wasnt there too long. Doesnt have to be a 99 Braves sheffy, just gimme like a veteran card or something

I'd be shocked if Nats isnt Carter, O's isnt Ripken, and Padres isnt Trevor Hoffman. Gwynn was TA last year I dont think they'll use him in this again. I think the same with Mattingly for the Yankees and Marichal for the Giants. To my recollection none of the 24 names announced so far were TA awards last year

Just go ahead and release the 99 Red Sox John Smoltz and the 99 Rangers Andruw Jones.

I mean at least split it up where they’re not all being used on their secondary teams in the same year

I dont think he's useable. I get rocked with him when I throw him and typically do very well at the plate when my opponent throws him. I think if his cutter had a little more velo and didnt just float through the zone his card would be much more useable.

I cant imagine someone picking Brett or Kemp over this 99 Pedro, this will be the most lopsided program of the year when they announce the percentages of the bosses selected

Yeah I was very thrown off when they did All Star cards for TA3 because of how similar it felt to the Finest series. There are certainly a lot of teams that could have a different player worthy of the finest card than who received the All star card in TA3, but regardless it will feel pretty much the same. I'm not saying I wish they hadnt done the all star series this year, but it definitely will take away from the value and excitement around the finest series which has always been a great card series to look forward to at the end of the year.

I interpret that clue as a card that has been in the game in prior years that has gotten diamonds before but never a 99. So cards like Adley, Yadier Molina, and Kerry Wood that have all been mentioned above fits that description. Even tho technically the clue also applies to new legends like Pedro and Hank, I feel like they wouldnt have used that specific wording for these kind of cards

I got Cole last inning and Scherzer this time. Sold Cole and just gonna keep Scherzer for TA exchanges

So I'm playing BR yesterday and trying to go 12-0 flawless for the first time ever. I'm 10-0 and I win an incredibly sweaty game against a player with an insane ranked record and I'm feeling amazing about my chances. When I load out of the game it tells me the game wasnt recorded due to a friendly quit (friendly quits do not exist in BR), so I didnt get credit for the win. I checked my game history and it didnt show up. I then re-booted my PS to see if that would work, and nothing. I started another game and all my pitcher's energy was the same as the game before, like the last game I won never happened.

I've never really posted on here about issues with gameplay but having something like that happen when I was so close to going flawless is beyond frustrating.

If 99 Maddux isnt a Braves card Im done playing this game

Ppl will always say a version of something from the past is better than the current version. Whether its this video game, the U.S., the NBA, Super bowl commercials, etc. - the list goes on and on. It's just what people do to complain. I think this game is miles beyond MLB20. Pinpoint pitching and the parallel system on their own, set it apart for me. And that old timers program will likely pop up in the next month or so, it's coming

99 Goose without question
