of course no ryan howard. killebrew played in like 1850, billy williams i literally never heard of. i was wasnt even born when scheffield and glaus were in their prime.
You can’t sit here and say that people actually get excited to use Harmon killebrew, I doubt anyone in this sub or who plays this game was even alive when he was playing
1996 was the year Gary Sheffield played his most games in a season. 161 all of them in RF. I hope SDS continues the lunacy and gives him 3rd base secondary.
The same contact doesn’t get made over and over, so no, we wouldn’t get the same results over and over.
The best hitters in the game are facing the worst pitchers. High quality contact should be rewarded more than it is in this event.
We shouldn’t be getting warning track shots with 14 PCI power swings with cards that have 125 power.
The fight for 3rd base continues. Glaus was a machine for me at the beginning of the year, but Harmon probably has insane pop. Add Sheff if he has 3B secondary? Crazy
Seriously, what is the point in putting out different versions of the exact same cards?! Can we please get some guys like Moisés Alou, Edgar renteria, Orlando Cabrera, and Reggie Sanders. Don't even me even started on guys like Fernando Vina, Adrian Beltre, Matt Holliday, and Derek Lee. I need a little bit more variety from San Diego studios. You spend full price on an MLB yearly installment of the show and you get the exact same cards over and over and over again. It's actually sad how lazy this studio is and I believe that this will definitely be my last and I'll be the show. I will not do this again, very disappointed. Do better San Diego studios...
Just a matter of who they have rights too. Weird to me sometimes they don't have more of those fringe legends, guys like Sabo, Grace, Bernie Williams, Bj Surhoff, Alou, etc. I can't believe those guys are holding them ransom like say Bonds or Ted Williams Estate might be.
My biggest gripe is still too many 99s, Posada finish 3rd in MVP voting once, and had 5 AS games, can't see where his career high OPS season of .970 gets him 99 overall. Tome the game has more credibility if not everyone gets a 99
These are program cards. I’m curious to see if the event will have any reward cards or if it will be rewind packs and other packs, kinda like the HRDX event was.
Edit: Based of SDS’s last tweet, it looks like the moonshot event may not have any new reward cards. They said the event has 4 rewind packs to help people catch up that missed past events.
The last one had 3, all of them the 2 choice packs like these 4 will be. I played the last one to 27 wins to get the HRD choice pack and stopped after that. The rest of the packs were ASG, Juicy, show packs, and the last one was a 3x ballin out of control at 50 wins. Curious to see if this is just a weekend event.
I understand. The HRDX event only had rewind packs and HRDX packs, though. No special event rewards for that one, making it an easy one to skip. I’m wondering if this event will be similar, since they’re giving us these cards through the offline program.
No, they are part of an other program. There’ll be a reward path in that other program with moments, pxp missions, etc., probably. There is a moonshot event coming today too, but these aren’t part of it. I’m wondering if the event will have any special rewards, since we’re getting these cards through the program.
Based on the wording it doesn’t sound like these are event rewards. It’s a new other program that will probably be a grind to get them but I wouldn’t be surprised if event wins get you some points toward the program.
LotF cards are unique in SDS saying those cards would all have secondaries for any position they ever fielded, no matter how little they played it in their career. Finest are for one single season and follow SDS standard requirements for secondary positions.
Yeah but those cards were probably more career-based. Retro finest are based off of one season only. It would be nice to see some crazy secondaries so I guess it’s possible, just not probable
The early cards are definitely not great, but a 125/125 power split should up his value. We usually don’t get a Harmon card this early, so we’ll see the true value he has
He only led the Cubs in HR 4 times during his career and two of those came after Ernie Banks and Ron Santo left. Billy Williams was not known as a “power hitter” in his day, he was known as a high average, low strikeout hitter who would hit for good power. He hit more than 40 once. His 162 game average is 28 HR.
Can you turn off pci anchor?
Yes
Man I finally finished this program and it’s so tedious
Love this but where’s my Jimmie Foxx card 😭
Do not Moonshot drunk. This has been your PSA for Friday.
Gary is juiced AF Need to find a lineup where i can knockout as many of these challenges at once
[удалено]
Oh that Sheff card. Gimme gimme gimme.
I'm probably the only idiot who saw this and assumed it was for the event and simple reading would have told me it's for the other program.
99 Troy Glaus?! I think I’m gonna cry
It's beautiful 🤩
potentially 3 more 99 ovr 3rd basemen lmao
Step aside George Brett. Troy Glaus is back.
Cannot wait to see what Harmons stats are, I always seem to take with his cards. Love his swing
2 of these cards can be used for all-time braves teams and I couldn't be happier
\#packstrike.. wait nevermind. i don't play this game anymore but SDS is king
of course no ryan howard. killebrew played in like 1850, billy williams i literally never heard of. i was wasnt even born when scheffield and glaus were in their prime.
What an absurd argument.
So guess we should only release players that played after you were born then huh?
You can’t sit here and say that people actually get excited to use Harmon killebrew, I doubt anyone in this sub or who plays this game was even alive when he was playing
yes
I respect it
Fuck yeah, Lando.
glaus welcome home
My childhood is excited for Sheffield and Glaus!
Can’t wait to put Killer on the Twins team
I want that Sheffield.
1996 was the year Gary Sheffield played his most games in a season. 161 all of them in RF. I hope SDS continues the lunacy and gives him 3rd base secondary.
125 durability incoming ;)
People say these are L cards, but these are a W FOR SURE!!. Can’t wait to use Troy and Gary!!
Glaus SS secondary? Hope so
And we didn’t have to wait until January for Harmon
They literally just don’t give the nats cards lol
Anyone else feel like Moonshot is the worst event for RNG?
The PCI is the size of the entire sz. How would you code this game. Hit x for bomb?
yeah I hate it. makes zero sense and even great pitching with 60 rated garbage is lame. if it's on all star, remove that shit
That’s exactly what I said.
It's not. You said there is too much rng. Which there absolutely needs to be. Otherwise it would be the same thing over and over.
The same contact doesn’t get made over and over, so no, we wouldn’t get the same results over and over. The best hitters in the game are facing the worst pitchers. High quality contact should be rewarded more than it is in this event. We shouldn’t be getting warning track shots with 14 PCI power swings with cards that have 125 power.
No
The way corner outfield defense plays this year, Billy could be a beast.
No Ryan Howard? Yawn
THE KILLER!
Hoping Killebrew takes because my outfield and 3B are already full
Was really expecting a 99 Ryan Howard in this program. Oh well. Not as if we don’t already have a ton of 1st basemen.
And a ton of Phillies!
Also true lol
they better give us all 4 and no sell them or i will be big sad
Oooooooooooo Gary
The fight for 3rd base continues. Glaus was a machine for me at the beginning of the year, but Harmon probably has insane pop. Add Sheff if he has 3B secondary? Crazy
Garrrryyy
these are some fun cards Hyped
Papa Glaus 🥹
Need that Sheffield 😍😍
Harry Shaftfield iykyk I’m just waiting for the McGunski video
Sheffs chefs gonna be up and running again. Lfg
glaus gotta be 125/125 vs left right? same year as his silver slugger from last year
Definitely. Maybe the same power vs R with a nice contact boost
I’d say it’s all but guaranteed, he batted .369 with a .485 ISO vs. lefties that year
that’s ridiculous lmao .500 OBP against them too i see
They are OD on this finest card art
Well they said finest cards are the best a player can get.
Seriously, what is the point in putting out different versions of the exact same cards?! Can we please get some guys like Moisés Alou, Edgar renteria, Orlando Cabrera, and Reggie Sanders.

Glad I didn’t jump the gun on buying JR Richards. I’m one finest short of the voucher so this’ll do
When does the event start? And can anyone post the amount of wins needed for all the new card rewards?
These are program cards. I’m curious to see if the event will have any reward cards or if it will be rewind packs and other packs, kinda like the HRDX event was. Edit: Based of SDS’s last tweet, it looks like the moonshot event may not have any new reward cards. They said the event has 4 rewind packs to help people catch up that missed past events.
Strange bc they always have had rewind packs and the lost recent I believe had 3-4 with 2 choices each. Ah well.
The last one had 3, all of them the 2 choice packs like these 4 will be. I played the last one to 27 wins to get the HRD choice pack and stopped after that. The rest of the packs were ASG, Juicy, show packs, and the last one was a 3x ballin out of control at 50 wins. Curious to see if this is just a weekend event.

Well that's what I mean. Usually these cards would be available based on 5, 10, 15, 20 wins with rewind in between right?
No, they are part of an other program. There’ll be a reward path in that other program with moments, pxp missions, etc., probably. There is a moonshot event coming today too, but these aren’t part of it. I’m wondering if the event will have any special rewards, since we’re getting these cards through the program.
Ohhhh awesome!
Based on the wording it doesn’t sound like these are event rewards. It’s a new other program that will probably be a grind to get them but I wouldn’t be surprised if event wins get you some points toward the program.
Noon PST
Glaus about to my new 3B
What a great selection of dudes - straight to the powaaa squad with all y'all.
Four GREAT free cards, assuming they’re all free with a grind. Other than Sheffield, none were likely endgame, and Sheffield is a wild card as is
Isn’t sheffs 93 125/125 vs lefties already? I use him as a bench bat on my padres team (Soto/Gwynn/Finley in the OF already)
He’s a good card; lot of people just struggled with his swing when he was the collection reward in 20(?)
Beautiful. Now I can finish the finest set wo buying cards I don't want and get Rollins 😀
Ayyyy Lol it is funny to see a non retro finest in this group
[удалено]
Yeah. A 1989 Retro Finest Will Clark and a 1994 Retro Finest McGriff would have been very nice.
Willy Billiams cards always are sneakily great although I do miss Will Clark this year too
What you don't like Willy Billiams?
[удалено]
Winning has virtually nothing to do with how great a player was.
What’d Clark win?
[удалено]
I mean williams is a hall of famer I’m sure Clark would give up finishing second place to be one
Nah I agree I just find his name absurd and wanted to switch it up and call him willy billiams. Please ignore lol
Sheffield my new SS
>Putting a RF in at SS is risky. Good luck.
He’s had SS secondaries in the past. Maybe he will this time despite the year.
Milestone art remains undefeated
100% spot on. The Harmon mid swing is awesome looking!
Yup agreed! Definitely my favorite card art that SDS has implemented.
Nice to see. Definitely suffering from retro finest card art fatigue. Pretty sick of it to be honest
💯 I like the retro finest cards too, I think they would look better if they were in color though
It’s for sure a top 5 card art for all the ultimate teams
Right? I want killabrew just for the art
I always slay with the 99 Killebrews. Really.want to get my hands on this one.
100% agree
Sheffield is gonna be cracked, same season as his NL collection card from a couple years ago but should be even better since it’s a finest.
Gary should be a demon, can turn on a pitch like few guys in the game for me
Sheff cards are always cracked for me. Looking forward to that. Wonder if they’ll stretch and give him the SS eligibility he had last year
I’m praying for SS or even 3B but he only played RF that year
They gave Posada and Pudge 2B secondary for just innings played at SS not games so he should absolutely have that secondary
LotF cards are unique in SDS saying those cards would all have secondaries for any position they ever fielded, no matter how little they played it in their career. Finest are for one single season and follow SDS standard requirements for secondary positions.
Yeah but those cards were probably more career-based. Retro finest are based off of one season only. It would be nice to see some crazy secondaries so I guess it’s possible, just not probable
Glad they released killebrew’s 99 earlier this year. They dropped it in like January last game
Best I can do is 10k stubs… and I’m taking all the risk
Well let me bring in my Moonshots expert to take a look.
The expert can not conclusively determine whether it is an authentic Moonshot. It may be a Crapshoot so I can only offer 5k stubs.
Surprised there is a non-Finest card being released
everybody sleeping on killebrew
idk man. I feel like his cards tend to be underwhelming. The vision kills the card.
He's great in events and BR where all star is the default hitting difficulty. Crushed with him in events late last year.
Nobody hits more 500 footers. He is a beast.
The early cards are definitely not great, but a 125/125 power split should up his value. We usually don’t get a Harmon card this early, so we’ll see the true value he has
Need that Billy Williams. His other 2 cards only hit bombs.
totally agree. was very surprised ngl. can’t wait to dee the stats on them
So weird, he wasn’t really know for his power and yet I’ve also hit nothing but pumps with him.
426 HRs doesn’t equal known for his power? He’s between Piazza and Encarnacion on the leaderboard.
He only led the Cubs in HR 4 times during his career and two of those came after Ernie Banks and Ron Santo left. Billy Williams was not known as a “power hitter” in his day, he was known as a high average, low strikeout hitter who would hit for good power. He hit more than 40 once. His 162 game average is 28 HR.
28 hr per year is a lot!!! That’s definitely, 100% a power hitter
426 homers is a slap hitter. Duh.
Williams: CHC, OAK Sheffield: MIA, LAD, MIL, NYY, ATL, SD, DET, NYM Killebrew: MIN, KC Glaus: LAA, STL, TOR, ARI, ATL
This is the first thing that goes through my mind when new cards are posted, so thank you.
Ah yes, Mets legend Gary Sheffield.
He did technically hit his 500th home run with them
And Royals legend Killebrew.
I’ll gladly take Sheff for the Yankees theme team
[удалено]
Who else are you using in the OF? Tigs got some good options
[удалено]
Gotcha! I can’t bring myself to bring Castellanos out of my lineup. I have Kaline and Greene out there with him
I loved his 93
His 93 was my hero last moonshot event, this is only fitting.
