Obviously you disagree. You're the boss. Otherwise you probably would've vetoed them.

The difference between the two examples is this: a "peak" card based on a string of seasons around the player's peak is representative of a player's ability around his peak. They are (or should be) representative of what that player was capable of producing in a season at the height of his career.

The new Legend cards don't represent ANY point in a player's career. It's cherry-picking a player's best individual category ratings from different points in his career to produce something that pushes realism way beyond the PT19's version of Legend cards.

I know this game is your baby. But your response seemed a little uncharacteristically defensive. I'm not even arguing the point that people won't like these new legends; I'm guessing there will many who are happy to have a super card regardless of who it is or how it's calculated, so long as they can construct the best team possible. But the two types are a complete apples to oranges comparison. I'm sorry, but we don't see eye-to-eye on this.
