The whole 1961 season was redone recently and is now a Cadillac season. I think the M&M boys old cards were from the mystery leagues. So we got new ones now.

I did not see any mention of anything new except player cards.

I do not see any mention of any new features either. So ATG8 was apparently just about adding/changing cards.

This along with the previous addition of cards in ATG7 implies that when the new system was coded it was done in such a way that adding new cards will require a new version. That would seem to say there will never be monthly additions as most were expecting to eventually occur. While this would be disappointing probably not as upsetting if someone just came here and directly stated that instead of having to speculate.

I checked the 1961 Maris card, it's a different card from the previous ATG. Cant play LF, less Homerun chances, lower salary. So they messed around with existing cards, I don't understand how a card can change like that.

Ok thanks. I see 1961 Norm Cash is different too.

I guess it is a good thing I lowered the bar all the way to the ground. I didn't expect them to exceed my expectations. And it looks like the haven't.

My first thought is that the new Johnny Blanchard card is going to get used a ton in $80mil

No new features. True.
But to be fair they did not promise any new features. They only talked about new cards and new ballparks.
So technically they did deliver what was promised. :)
