How do you like utilize baseball cards?

Dyzalot · 09-20-2018, 05:42 PM

Where is the "I don't" option? I don't really understand what the point of them is.

Do you have to have baseball cards on in order to get Hall of Fame plaques? I've always been under the impression that you did. If the answer was no and I could still get the plaques without having baseball cards enabled, I would turn them off in a heartbeat.

I have baseball cards off but still get the HOF plaques.

Sorry, I should have included that one. I really meant, "If you use them..."

I was thinking of doing a baseball card set at the very beginning of each season (I actually like to occasionally look back at my stars and see their face on a baseball card with their younger looking facegen face on an old team), but I didn't know if there'd be any downside to that. I also didn't know if anyone actually did that

Add me to the "don't use them" group.

I have them auto-created with awards, and then also create them for all players on a championship-winning team.

I love looking through a retiring player's cards to see how they looked and the uniforms they wore through their career.

I handle them carefully by the edges to preserve their value.

Ha! We had the same thought at the same time...I came here to post exactly that.

I make them for every team after I play out the last game of the season. If you have the right mods, this is a fun feature. If not, it's kinda pointless.

What kind of mods?

Yea, it is called "Baseball Card Yearly Template", or fairly close to that. Only goes up to 2015 though.

This is the thread.

I do a baseball card for the NL and AL Batting Champs each year.

Bobble · 09-27-2018, 09:31 AM

I'd use them more if they had unique designs for future years. If you start a 2018 league, all your baseball cards are the same design for the rest of time.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this...

NoOne · 09-27-2018, 02:41 PM

what baseball cards?

Cod · 09-27-2018, 08:04 PM

I turn them off in settings when I setup my leagues.
