Guys, I understand one is a WS reward, one is a Program card.
The point is, SDS uses so many outside factors to make changes to these card attributes. In many cases, it harms players from getting cards that they probably should, thus making a lot of content less fun as it could be.
It just felt extra shocking they did this on the Finest drop, since this is when they typically ease away from those stipulations and make crazy stacked cards... because it's FINEST.
I fear SDS got caught in building these cards FOR mods or got scared to make cards too good.
Not even talking about the collections being so stub heavy investment wise and many cards held behind packs (once again), this is an extremely disappointing drop for what is typically a "last hoorah" for an MLB The Show game.
Went through some cards I stashed away and remembered I had this cool short print for Oht-
OH MY GOD THAT'S IPPEI BACK THERE, I'M RICH
Season is nearly over with a fair bit of ups and downs from me trying to improve the swing.
Here's a little poke in the cleanup spot today though 🫡
My Weekend Classic so far
Game one I get a ton of weird swing outcomes but fight back with a sick 9th inning, just to lose on a perfect out
Game 2? Freeze before I load in.
Nice!
To get 70+ on these attributes, you have to spend 14 tokens. Pretty sure it'll be even more for 80+ and 90+, and there ate 6 Per/9's to upgrade (only 1 you can directly train on training days).
On average I get about 6-8 tokens per save, with only 15 SAVE OPPORTUNITIES on a sub .500 performing team in my third MLB season but still the team's CP on the depth chart.
The only way to get 15 tokens in training is to get a gold badge in one of the gym based workouts (pilates, box jump, etc). On field practices I've done have given me a max of 11 tokens and are far longer to complete.
I upgraded my Per/9's 5 TIMES TOTAL in a whole season, while not being able to upgrade the quality of my pitches like at all.
The only shortcut was doing workouts for CLT because apparently that's the only Per/9 you can directly train for somehow.
Game limits you in what to train if you want to upgrade the attributes you actually need to improve.
As a CP especially, you get too few tokens. Since pitching is very RNG if you want to play on a higher difficulty, you get screwed as a lower OVR for a long time since your Per/9 suck.
So, if you enjoy the pain of punching yourself in the nuts, start a CP RTTS on GOAT difficulty!

Just how rampant is cheating in MLB The Show?
Our first scan of Ranked Season 8 found 47% of the top 50 World Series accounts were very likely cheating. Two weeks later it's 30%, and we know why.
