What noise is that, Joe? As far as sneak peeks days in advance goes, that hack hasn't worked since 2020.

Last year peeks were posted on 3/13. The game launched on 3/14.

2022 - The game launched the same day as the peeks.

In 2020, the game launched on 3/5. Peeks began on 2/11. Having the cards viewable 3 weeks before launch?....SOM said nay to that.

Patience grasshopper.

I think they should have card previews on X like they do with the Range Ratings in December. Publish the cards for 1 or 2 players/day a week before launch to whet our appetites.

Hey Bob, I agree. These guys do a terrible job of marketing. It would be pretty easy to push this crowd to a fever pitch with sneak previews of one kind or another, and get us to buy all kinds of extra goodies! :lol:

I'm not depracating SOM, Terry. I'm throwing out a possible pre-season idea for the future. I'm all for goodies though. They should have a contest where if you guess the price of player X you win SOME SOM merch....or SOME such contest.

Speaking as someone sipping rum drinks on a Caribbean island until Tuesday, Nah.

Next Thursday will suit me just fine. ;) :D

I have a rebuild team whose only nugget is Nelson Velazquez-- I want to see what his homer rolls look like on that right side.
