Future (OOTP20) card categories

joehart · 12-12-2018, 11:14 AM

I have heard about having a Fan Favorites category so we can request our favorite players from certain years.

Is there already a list of all the planned new categories?

As someone that enjoys players/teams focused on the lower end of the spectrum (All-Bronze, All Silver, …), it would be nice to see the following categories and players:

1. Top Prospects (not captured by Future Stars). Each teams top 5-10 prospects. Example: Justus Sheffield (was #1 on Yankees list prior to trade with Mariners).

2. Player Career cards -utilizing career average.
Currently a lot of cards of top players quickly end up in the high end of the spectrum. It would be nice to also find historical fan favorites in the lower end. Using career averages may bring down the overall numbers down to a lower category (from Gold to Silver, Silver to Bronze, …) so they can also be enjoyed by people not just interested in the race to have all Gold/Diamond/Perfect cards.

I've been thinking of the idea of putting the entire roster of world series champions into the list - that would be a good way to get lower-rated historical cards into the set for folks who want to focus on historical cards.
