Yes, Burnitz had a long career and he accumulated 300 homers over like 10 to 15 seasons. That justifies 1 to 2 legend cards. Not four lol

Its his first year in the game. He has gotten cards for multiple teams, as he 100% should be getting his first year.

Crappy rookie Mets card, an early Brewers card, mid rockies card, and probably a low end 99 for Brewers at some point. Seems about right.

Next year he will either be gone or probably just get 2 cards

After they botched legends so badly last year with guys like Sanders this is one of the dumber complaints of the entire year.

The stay tuned is the announcement for the all star content.
The week after is the 4th weekend and the week after that is the weekend right before the all-star game.
So next Friday is the announcement for all the ASG stuff

They arent going to hold a live stream to announce 'hey all star break and draft is coming in a few weeks'

Umm. Don’t hold your breath. The summer packs don’t expire for 21 days…

Which is part of why this is intriguing. They have a live stream for whatever this is. They also have a mini season that could be tied into this.

While I strongly disagree with what Ditka says from time to time, I can't understand SDS decision to have so many no sell cards behind offline modes. This year has really doubled down with trying to get everyone to play all modes, and its impacting online players heavily.

Ive played for the first time in over a month the last couple days, and I personally like the big conquest map which has decent rewards throughout. But for a lot of people its just not fun. Same goes for mini season, and if you want collections mini season is unskippable.

And while I am occasionally in the mood to play online, it goes in spurts and in just weird human nature the more I feel forced to do something, the less likely I am to do it (especially while having fun). It makes things feel like a chore, and not fun.

I think 99% of cards should be obtained by playing the modes you want to enjoy. I know some competitive people feel the need to be rewarded with exclusive cards, but all this does is cause unhappiness in the community in the long run as you can see coming to a head this year. Just embrace play your way.

People say complaints happen no matter what, and this is absolutely true, but the frustration is clearly deeper this year.

I can understand your frustration with the lag any other time. But to complain, or think theyre wont be lag, on a release day/beginning of a weekend is hilarious.

So now the lag that was never there in the past is now acceptable because its a release?

@paullyg24_MLBTS same with willi dude it’s nuts.

Burnitz had 300 HR
Willi doesnt even 300 RBI

Harper should be getting Phillies cards, he has now played for them longer than he did the Nats

Harper is currently on the Phillies. He got a card that works for Phillies theme teams with WBC. He will get the chance for cards throughout the season

It is actually pretty crazy how similar the stats are for Harper as a Phil vs Nat now that the games played are equal

Juan Soto got a Yankees card
Bryce Harper got a Phillies card
Larry Walker got a Rockies card when vintage would better suit the Expos
Vlad Sr got his second angels card in murals

Every single one of these would have made more sense as a Nats card

Take a look at next week's calendar
It looks like SDS may actually be cooking something up.

So I'm intrigued by next Friday

There is a Show Live, but only a mini season, event, and spotlight listed. Thats not typically a Show live type of drop.

My speculations are all wishful thinking (TA/theme team). But having a mini season so close to todays makes me think/hope it might be another special mini season like WBC

I still dont understand why the program is only 5 cards. Even if they just drop some more relievers and lesser named players to pad out theme teams. Not sure why guys like Brazoban (who is one of the few players that was shafted from a WBC he absolutely earned) or Raley can't get a relief card for instance.

Top round should be Brett, Greenberg, Ryno and Perry
Brock and Astro Tucker in mid round along with Greene and Torre.
Everyone else base.

Castro will still play just fine as 94, give the legends and all star caliber players more stats. Rarity is going to drive stub costs so SDS still gets their money.

I mean, I get why they do it but its so disrespectful to have Lou Brock a 94 and Willi Castro a 96. Gaylord Perry also being disrespected.

And why isnt Tucker an Astro?

While I think many of us would have preferred a slower power creep at least they seem to be acknowledging that the power creep was tossed out the window last year at all star break. They can at least ease into the 99s better. 95s typically play well without feeling like every card is the same like 99s do.

The Cardinals probably have more rare round cards than some teams have cards in total

Hernandez has a Cardinals MVP card in 2021 or 2022 I think.

I have done that moment a few times now and its never taken me more than 10 tries, but then I hit well with Hernandez. I'm sure I pissed some people off hitting some HRs with that kaiju card online with my Mets theme team. Back when theme teams were better to play because innings reliably progressed the ranked track.

Around half a million players have the other three cornerstones. Only about 180,000 have O'Neil.

To be fair I havent played this inning so its not all about the moment sucking. Im sure the fact that the yankees have 1,458 other OFs doesnt help either.

@MarioMendoza935_XBL said:

Willie Stargell 1979 WS MVP.

P.S. He was also co-MVP of the regular season along with Keith Hernandez, but NO ONE wants that card.

He has gotten that card, and it sucks that he was removed from the game. I want either him or Olerud back.

Sheffield's best year with the Yankees was 4.2 bWAR. He had a 5.9 or higher on 4 other teams.

While a conquest map that size makes me consider playing a bit this weekend, I sure hope Neto is not no sell and
is repeatable because a 14 team conquest map sucks for those who dont like the mode
