I always enjoy a good Tony Gwynn card. I'm actually excited about this one. The other series are kind of meh to me, but TG is great

Weren’t all these cards in the Mobile program as well?

u/Dolenzz 18h ago
Who knows, I stopped testing that game out ages ago.
It is tough to compare as they are entirely different games and card releases aren't equivalent in both games.2
u/iamoneson 18h ago
Someone posted the mobile one. Main person was Elly tho. So who knows.

u/Dolenzz 18h ago
But we don't know how he is earned in that game. As I said, it has been a while but the mobile game did not have quick programs to earn all these cards, They may be added to the game but they could be rare,
Elly will get his 99 in The Show. But if you have paid the slightest bit of attention this year they are not going to release a coveted 99 switch hitter for free, As a Cardinals Fan I understand that well (Chase Simmons, Chase Berkman, Chase Magee, Chase Smith, Headliners Shoendienst)

If Elly is not free, then it means theyve gone away from guaranteed one free llayer per team for Finest. Reds really only had 3 candidates for their finest, and Sal and Burns both got dropped today.

So much waiting and menus with that stupid mobile game. I’m really curious if was successful for SDS because they quite obviously diverted resources from console to mobile.

I have to say I stopped playing at season 4 I think but new card art has been sweet

Big Reds fan, love Sal to death. Not exactly thrilled to get a THIRD card for him and we still don't have a good Elly since April after POM September and a 30/30 season. This game is shit this year.

Tony Gwynn who used the shortest and lightest bat in MLB history in the Heavy Lumber program. SDS has switched to AI slop.

“AI slop” has to be the most overused phrase of all time. These programs are based on real cards released by Topps. Blame them, not SDS.

u/rockoblocko 18h ago
Slop is so overused. Someone doesn’t like something?
Just call it slop and that means it’s bad even though no rational provided

This is up there with the word scam for me. Open a pack and don’t get what you want? “Scammed.” Jfc

Not a single one of these cards will be in my lineup. One of the least exciting drops of the year...

Unless you’re a fan of baseball cards or baseball in general. Always refreshing to get real life cards in the game instead of mural or cityscapes crap art.

u/Key-Rip-7874 17h ago
Yeah but the players don’t jump out, mid…mcgonigle, Rodriguez, Gwynn, and Witt are ok but doesn’t move the needle for me. Could have put elly in like that random J rod

u/chibamms 18h ago
isn't this also crap art?
3
u/forthebirds123 18h ago
I mean technically everything in every video game is crap art. But this crap art isn’t limited to just the game is my point, there are real world versions of this out and about
1
u/chibamms 12h ago
But it is also crappy art. So what does it matter if there are more versions of it? Im confused
1
u/forthebirds123 12h ago
It’s just the idea that you can actually own and hold this crappy art. As opposed to a digitally created only crappy art. And actually, the black gold of years past have been iconic and pretty cool, this years design is a bit to be desired but still highly collectible.

u/JaysonTatecum 18h ago
I wouldn't say there's any difference between this and a cityscape even if these are technically real cards

u/forthebirds123 18h ago
For people that collect baseball cards it’s a huge difference. For everyone else, yeah you’re probably right.

u/JaysonTatecum 18h ago
I collect baseball cards. If Cityscape cards were real and these ones were made up MLB the Show ones, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference
2
u/Thesweetlenny 17h ago
The difference is that these are real and cityscapes aren’t. That’s how you can tell.
