Or maybe….. just ditch the mechanic entirely It’s gimmicky it’s kinda stupid It’s never going to stop people from using the best cards anyways I think the entire introduction of Captains this year has been a massive L, it’s been nothing more than a sideshow gimmick mechanic for the entire game
@@ifbfmto9338 i think it’s good. But what they do is intentionally lower these cards to make the +15 seem so good. They need to make it like +10 to 2 or 3 stats is the best boost for that team. And just make the overalls of the team better.
@@Disruptuer You can EASILY field a premier god squad level team, completely ignoring captain boosts That alone should highlight how irrelevant the gimmick is 95 percent of captain cards are utterly useless, non-competitive and ignored A tiny handful, more so by luck than anything else, are very useable, but again literally no captain card is necessary for a high level god squad team 🤷🏼♂️
@@ifbfmto9338 that’s not my point. I currently use the cover athlete team to boost an already good team. But what i meant was for teams like the monthly awards. They are purposefully worse because they take into account the captain boost. When the cards should just be better and the captain boost should only be + 5-10 in some stats. So it kills the usage of a specific card you want to use outside that team.
@@Disruptuer Sure I can agree with that I just think the game would be better, and have more outright useable cards, if captains didn’t exist 🤷🏼♂️ And none of these cards had intentionally lowered stats in the first place
I love using theme teams. I use a Dodgers team. Will Smiths boost to players is great +15 Con L, +10 PWR L&R and +5 Clutch. It is great because a lot of the Dodger players were bad against lefty pitchers. Freddie Freeman, Trayce Thompson and Gavin Lux probably benefit the most from Will Smiths captain boost
Great video! If you wanna use hoffman there’s a common that you can put on your bench and he counts. Gives u an extra spot to use a closet like kenley or mo.
you'd be shivering your timbers if you ran into my brewers only theme team. pitching is not great but the lineup is actually really nice and more fun for me to use than any other squad. i think i'm 10-2 in ranked with it which isn't bad all things considered
They need to make easier for the avg player to assemble a captain squad team. Personally I'm only able to really assemble monthly award teams, randy johnson tall pitchers boost cause I bought that card, topps now and that's it. I wanna do a yankees boost but I dont have enough good yankees to make it work. The whitey ford boost I'd like to try but dont really have good yankees pitchers. I got All star captain cole, couple bullpen guys and that's it. Team affinity just takes so long and theres other cards that take a ton of grinding.
shoot at this point make it so the captains cards themselves get additional boosts on top of theirs depending on what tier it’s at. say tired 3 david wright also gives just himself plus +15 power L + R or something like that
Wasn't playing during the first 2 seasons so I don't have any of the really good captains. An ones like Rollins are going for nearly 200k. As a nms player that's not realistic for me.
Shouldn't team affinity be that you can actually use your favorite team and have them be a god squad. Captain's can be implemented through that, people would actually use these
The problem for me is theres a lot of specific cards you need for each build, so as a no money spent player with 9-5 its hard to field these teams
They need to just make the captain cards better statistically so more people are interested in using them
Or maybe….. just ditch the mechanic entirely

great video - I think people should consider wild carding Captians - could be OP
The PAUL GOLDSCHMIDT BOOST is nuts bruh it boost every card 80-84 overall
But they still stink in the field
Great vid and yes I want more. SDS did a piss poor job of showing us how this all works. (unless i missed it) Thank you!

Thank you my friend. As always bringing the folks what we need and want. Bless my guy👏🏾

tier* 😭
Wish I could use the Aaron judge captain boost but not with that potm card
Facts
great video chev. we appreciate you doing this for us!!

You should show the best team captain boosts… diamondbacks and twins are pretty good that I’ve used. Also reds dodgers
i love the captains i just hope they drop enough content s3 where u can still have good team builds without the set1 giys
Thank you for mentioning the pinch hitter part I understand why they did the last patch but some captains are unusable
Wish there was more pitchers
Great video. I like these types of vids where you recommend stuff

I like Bench as the 60's & 70's Captain
Team affinity 1 Juan Soto has been my best hitter on the durability team
You could add the new Judge for the mookie team
When will they drop set 3 captains
Do you keep the boost if you pull the captain?
made a run to WS with the durability squad
what controller do you use?
How do you get the 92 david wright?
Anyone know if the captain boost still stays even before 6 innings ?
how do i get these captains
I like the durability squad better than the cover athletes. But that's just me.
I thought they made it so that you can’t take the captain out after you start the game?
How's the rangers team?
No love for the shortys squad? Lol
Phil’s theme team is also pretty decent
great vid
See captain cards are good but all the good ones cost a shit ton of stubs 🤣🤣
I think all the non-team specific captains are really good and the captains that are team specific are cheeks
Jazz is the worst cover athlete of all time
Second
