@the_dragon1912 said in Mets Live Series Collection:
Glansow and Buehler were golds. Injured diamonds don't move to free agents
Thanks. That's a bummer, but I guess that works if that is how they always do it. I couldn't remember an injured diamond that got moved either.
Will Edwin Diaz still be in the Live Series collection for the Mets after the first roster update? Since he is out for the entire season most likely, will he get moved to the FA section like they did with guys like Glasnow and Buehler, etc. last year. That's the only collection I have left before getting Sosa but I'm trying to figure out if it is the best use of limited stubs at this point to finish it now or wait for the roster update.
Yeah. It took me forever to figure that out. You have to tap the button super lightly without any degree of holding it to enter the season and start games or do anything on the menu.
I think this would be a great feature. What I do now is just make one of my four team slots into my current event lineup so I can remember it easier. But a save function in events would be nice.
Kind of crazy that the top card of the player that MLB is pushing like crazy to be the face of the sport can't really be used properly in the game. Kind of a joke on their part. It seems like it would be pretty easy to have the few pitchers that can play OF as secondary positions show up in the outfield secondary when they are taken out of the rotation.
I was wondering if anyone has been able to use this card as a position player online. When you have the chance to draft him in BR, it very clearly has secondary positions of all outfield spots. Has anyone been able to get him in the game as an outfielder (and not just as pinch hitter, but as a starting outfielder which he should be able to do)? And if not, why has SDS not been able to patch that yet. It seems obvious that this card is way too good at hitting to be an every 4/5 game player. He should be able to play outfield any game he is not pitching. That doesn't seem like it would be this hard.
That would make sense. I think they will work those packs in at some point, and TA 2 makes sense because by TA 3, many of the 42 Legends will have better versions of their cards in the game. I would like to get Jackie at some point, but have not wanted to spend tons of stubs on him. Hopefully we do get some of those cards soon (maybe have one pack in 3rd inning program too so we don't have to buy any of them).
I was wondering if they ever update the velocity, control and break for pitchers when they do roster updates for Live series cards? For example, as Chapman continues to use his splitter and get good results with it, will any of the values for that pitch change? Or for someone like Tyler Glasnow (who is 95% in FB velocity) will his Velo stat get moved up from 89? I guess part of my question is how are these pitch characteristics figured out. It seems they tend to stay pretty constant like fielding stats for position players, but I was wondering if anyone had any insight on this.
I think Derek Jeter is a possibility too, given his HOF election (maybe AL collection reward). I wouldn't be surprised if it was AL Jeter, NL Clemente, Live Series Aaron, Legend and Flashback someone else. Babe Ruth could be given out that way this year. They also could do something new and give out a pitcher this way (Randy and Pedro are such huge fan favorites I don't think people would mind). Koufax and DiMaggio would be huge too. And I would love a Roger Maris card (but don't think it would likely be big enough to take one of these reward spots).
Team Affinity Stage 2 was released all the way back in April, so very few of them had made their debut. I think they were just trying to pick fun prospects near the top of each farm system that could potentially make a debut once the season finally started. It seems like the ones they released later through all the other places (Events, packs, etc.) were top tier prospects that made their debut in 2020 or earlier. Royce Lewis is the other one, along with Gore, that still hasn't made his debut yet. I think both played at the alternate sites though.
I think they have decided to hold those cards until they make their debuts. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think all the top tier Future Stars cards were released only after they made their debuts (the ones from Stage 2 team affinity were released ahead of debuts though). Maybe Gore was the exception? Don't think he ever made his debut. I am hoping they keep up the Future Stars series because it was fun playing with the juiced up prospects. There could be a lot of fun guys to do next year (Franco, Adley, Witt, Kelenic, Rodriguez, Vaughn, Tork, etc.)
