Official Card Team Discussion and Rating Thread

[crayzlikethat]

Post your COMPLETED card team here and rate other peoples as well. I am wondering what you guys think of my team. I put a lot of work into putting it together and though I still am trying to acquire another good lefty starter and middle relief I think it's pretty good right now! I think we should rate people's teams on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the top. Also we should give people advice on how to make their team better! Alright here is my team !

It will when you start getting platinum and gold cards they really cut the cost of the black edition cards down a ton. FOr instance lets say a Black Arod might cost you 20mil to put in the card team a gold version might cost 15mil and a platinum 10 mil. These numbers are just pulled out of my arse as an example so go easy on me if they are way off.

DOn't feel alone I havent even sold off enough cards to buy a pack yet...it takes for freaking evere when you get the cards worth 5 credits all the time.:( :(

[BallisticHS]

I have never received a Platinum or Gold card in a card pack. I must be very unlucky because I have had several packs.

the salaries do depend on which card you have. Black is obviously the most, gold is 1/2 the cost of black, and plat is 1/2 the cost of gold (so 3/4 the cost of black). So to get a quality team u have to shoot for the gold and plat cards for players. Here's my team again, and this time i included what kind of card it is.

Total Salary ($124.1 million)

Lineup:
Reyes (SS) plat
Wright (3B) gold
Soriano (CF) gold
Manny Rameriz (LF) gold
Lee (1B) plat
Maurer (C) gold
Teahan (RF) plat
Uggla(2B) plat

Bench:
Pie gold
Hudson plat
Aramis Rameriz plat
Saltalamaccia gold
Hanley Rameriz gold

Starting Pitchers:
Zambrano plat (u dont wanna know how long it took to get this lol)
Carpenter plat
Liriano gold
Schilling gold
Joba Chamberlin gold

Bullpen:
Gordon gold
Okajima plat
Soria plat
Wood plat
Saito plat
Wagner gold
Brandon Morrow plat

Your teams look good, can't wait to play card battles when this 2K server is fixed!! And to whoever wondered if you could play AROD at SS, you can't start him there, but at the lineup screen you can put him in. He played there for a while, however this game is retarded and makes Jeter better than AROD at SS it should not be that way.

It's not bad (still would take my team over yours lol), but now the hard part - getting the platnium cards needed to get under the $125 million cap is tough

[LALtoDB]

haha my team is much better than yours and why get under 125? the cap is 150

[Cubsrule21aza]

must be different on the 360 - cap on PS3 is 125

[LALtoDB]

oh haha that stinks...
