I've been thinking time spans.....ATG 9....where are you???

PostFri Feb 01, 2019 8:26 pm

ATG 5 Release - Summer 2009
ATG 6 Release - Summer 2011 (about 24 months)
ATG 7 Release - Jan 2013 (about 18 months)
ATG 8 Release - July 2014 (about 18 months)

and we're still waiting for ATG 9 (going on almost 5 years now!!!)

I remember ATG 6, 7 and 8 all involved restructuring of a fair amount of the cards between 50 to 150 cards repriced per release?......since then NO SALARY restructuring, despite the clamoring for it......I know Nev, Druid, myself and probably a dozen others have reached out to SOM and offered to help with the repricing.......CRICKETS!!!!!!!!!!

I for one don't give 2 HOOTS about these 40 to 50 card booster releases come out every 4 to 6 months......I REALLY would like to see an ATG 9, no need for new cards, but rather a repricing of say 1,000 of the 9,000 cards in the set!

There are some really neat cards that are WAY overpriced for what you get, but I would like to see used....Yes, I love the game and continue to play about 12 new ATG 8 teams a month, but PLEASE enough with the nominations of the new cards, there MIGHT be 3 out of the 40 cards released in each expansion that are even worth blinking an eye at.

WE NEED re-structuring of the salaries for 10 percent of the card set and then we can call it ATG 9..........PLEASE!

Best thing is to present a petition signed by as many members of the community as possible to Garcia. Then cross our collective fingers. We could also ask that each participant in the upcoming Barnstormers Tour sign said petition. We could also offer to reprice whatever group of cards they let us reprice. And this should be done by folks that are not involved in the current pricing committee, comprised of between 4-6 community members who shall not be named by me publicly, that gives the prices to Garcia for the new cards, and generally takes about a month to reach consensus for each add. These folks are the ones who mispriced the '94 Expos's so egregiously and a few dozen other adds such as Mike Hampton, and Joel Pineiro. We should also reprice the super-relievers. Murray and Sutter should cost at least 7 million, for example. Apart from that, the ATG reliever rules could be rewritten such that a reliever who pitches more than 3 innings in one stint, MUST rest the next game or at least enter said game as an F0. The recent rules changes regarding platoons has already lowered the value of the top super relievers as they no longer get to continue to face the starting lineup and can be hurt by effective platoon usage.

What does Sasquatch, Garcia and the Loch Ness Monster all have in common?

They are things everyone have heard of but have never been seen or heard from.

Yes - and IMO, do this by coordinating all to send emails to SOM 365 Support (365support@strat-o-matic.com). I don't expect any response from postings to boards.

Agree w/ all the other suggestions posted by Druid.

Repricing would definitely fix a whole lot of the problems that people complain about.

Why do you suggest Murray and Sutter should cost at least 7 million then say the recent rules changes regarding platoons has already lowered the value of the top super relievers as they no longer get to continue to face the starting lineup and can be hurt by effective platoon usage? Please explain.

Murray should cost at least 9 Mil. Either that or be an R3. I do not understand how he's an R4..
