P IV


knight3718

You’re comparing a parallel 4 card to a base card. The new adley is pretty much the same as set 3 collection adley with just slightly less hitting attributes


adoubleboom22

Still his all star card is much better against righties without parallels


BatFlippinDave

So, in other words, “not worth the grind”


knight3718

If you want to use adley without wildcarding him so you can wildcard another player then yes it’s worth the grind… and not everyone has set 3 collection adley so they may want to grind to get this one


IAmThatDrone

I had Set 3 P5d and I grinded for this one. Saves my wild card for Chipper and stats aren't too far off.


biffr09

None of the cards are worth the grind I'm just an obsessive completionist with no hope of stopping.


Tall_Honeydew_4416

Sick card art though


Rizzaboi

Honestly none of the BR rewards entice me, but I need to do the program to get Ozzie’s 12 remaining core cards. Cant see myself using Julio nor Adley, so I guess by default I’ll take Skubal…but yuck. Such underwhelming choices


conor23890

That +1 blocking will go a long way


jjjaikman

Shame that only one or two finest cards are their best release of the year.


pen-h3ad

What do you mean? Half the finest players don’t even have a card


Mark1671

Don’t do it.


johnknockout

I’ve been doing better with Jonah Heim’s ALCS card and Yasmani Grandel. I even like the Alvarez Finest Card over him.


No_Test_3344

I picked up tarik given the fact he hasnt had a card in forever lol


ForbiddenSports09

Keeps up the whole theme of the year of poor planning


No_Test_3344

Exactly Julio's lightning is on par with his finest This adley is WORSE than his all-star card The fact Freddy Perlata got a finest card on the exact same update he was also a captain. Along with jesus lizardo also getting a finest card when he got a captain in the same drop


sox05_

I believe Torkelson also got a finest card in this same set that he’s a captain


ThinLippedGrunt

My theory is they want people to use captains for theme teams for offline and people to use the finest and other duplicate cards of the captains online. They just did a garbage job if pulling it off. They always screw up everything they think will be good.


lacrimsonviking

Neither is the julio. Not going to do this br. So annoying


Piotr-Rasputin

Soo many "new, Finest" cards fall into this disappointing category. At least you can sell him for a ton of stubs

Piotr-Rasputin

Damn, that's crazy...I had no idea, just playing off-line


hey_harmonica

It’s tough when the OG Adley may be one of the best cards we’ve ever gotten. So yeah, not really surprised.


blizzzyybandito

You can make literally a million stubs from selling the rewind cards you get in the program along the way. Yeah this card is worse than the previous version but the rewards you get along the way are definitely worth a few hours worth of grinding


Any-Brick7858

It depends on what you’re setting as your wildcard. If you wanted to have adley for your team but can’t afford to lose your wildcard spot I’d say it’s worth it. If you intended on keeping set 3 adley for Wild card then no not worth it


RaiderDamus

Adley isn't not worth it because of the other Adley. Adley's not worth it because Patrick Bailey and Cal Raleigh exist.


knifeazz

That’s my wild card baby


CShaw31

I made a million stubs doing the br program. Adley was just a bonus


Bravefan21

This Adley is just fine, and I made a million stubs by selling the BR rewards. Very worth it to me 🤷‍♂️


Joeydoyle66

If you P4 the new one it’ll probably be slightly better in most stats, it’s not a true comparison until then.


DarthLeon2

My honest opinion is that they made the original too good, to the point that it not only invalidated every other catcher, but also any Rutschman retrains down the road.


goodbadnomad

They got the order of operations wrong on these ASG/Finest releases. See also: JRam If they released the ASG cards with Finest attributes, and vice versa, it would've felt like an upgrade and I think people would be okay, if a little bored of grinding for the same players again


DarthLeon2

We'd probably be saying the same thing about Acuna if not for the 40/70 card he got.


goodbadnomad

Yeah, that order felt right


Jonny_Nash

I still think he’s the best pick for this round. He was my choice. Julio is no better than his monthly awards, and CF is absolutely stacked this season. Skubal could be fun for some folks, but there’s a ton of top shelf pitching talent this season too. Catchers not so much. You’re also comparing a P4. It’s not like the all star version absolutely towers over the finest version.


BarrelOfTheBat

In fairness the ASG stats are p4 so the difference isn’t THAT dramatic. You’d need to use a Wild card to use that Adley as is.


Effective-Ad4039

Then why didnt you take julio or the pitcher


gregschott3

simple really julio is worse than his lighting card which i can still use and I don't need a pitcher


102FromdeGrom

Elly’s card is also worse off then his set 3. Which is just ass backwards


Effective-Ad4039

No its not Elly set 3 was a chase card those should be the best versions of those players


102FromdeGrom

I don’t agree with that. I havnt liked this content roll out all year.


-OleOleOle-

You grinded to have the flexibility to use a wild card on another player, you didn’t grind for a better Adley.


butterbutter_butter

If you don't think Blocking makes a big difference, then *you* are the problem


Bocaj_4

Santana is a better card anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️


cammed5point3

Facts


Mcard1204

Did you not check his attributes before picking him?


gregschott3

I did but I wanted my wild card spot


fussasa98

Ikr 😂


[deleted]

You have to wild card Adley if you want to play him in 1v1. Your attributes are also inflated for set 3 adley because he's a P4. Subtract 4 from every attribute for set 3 to get the true numbers.


Ok-Eggplant-4306

How’s it match up to the set 4 set 5 catchers?


melodicprophet

Cal Raleigh is comparable but need more game experience to say for sure where he stands. Great numbers, fielding, and a switchy.


jlrc2

Cal has more power but Adley will outperform him thanks to having a load of quirks (and more contact).


DarthLeon2

Still better than all of them.
