Definitely going to take a while to unlock everything. 473 cards means a lot of different tasks. Some look absolutely rediculous, but should add an extra challenge to the game.

Record a save with Huston Streat...easy.
Hit for the cycle with Mark Ellis...ouch.


I can tell this list is old as it is in team order, but hasn't been updated to reflect most moves. Dan Haren, Nick Swisher and Mike Piazza are still in the A's section. I wonder if their cards will refelct them in an A's uniform or if they will be updated with roster updates.

Count me in as one of those that didn't like this feature at first. But the more I read about it the more I like it as an added challenge to playing the games.

I can see it becoming addictive once you actually force yourself to get into it, but I can see me not missing it if I just kind of forget about it from the get go....which way to go???

I think BB said they will have downloadable cards for big name players who have switched teams. He used Santana as an example.

Seems like a pretty cool feature I guess. Something to collect and work towards at the very least.

Hopefully, I'll be able to come to OS and find someone to trade cards with on XBOX live. I don't play with that many teams so I won't earn many of the other cards.

I think 2K should open up a card site so 360 users can trade cards with ps3 users.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 - Trading Card Feature

I really don't think this feature is anything I'll pay attention to. I plan on spending a majority of my time playing a franchise w. the Yanks, I don't see how I'll ever unlock other cards.

Well, you could always go for Special Edition Card Pack #26

(Play a Franchise with the Highest Payroll Possible and yet still somehow not win a World Series for seven consecutive seasons)

That should be an easy one.

Hmm. What happened to Ernie Banks?

Might as well go for the gusto at that point and aim for 86 years without one.

How do you unlock the historical players? I've completed a few of those challenges and can't find where those cards might be.

Re: Major League Baseball 2K8 - Trading Card Feature

So, I'm guessing no one is in to the card collecting aspect. I'm thoroughly addicted to it, but long to play as Dwight Evans or Fred Lynn. The press release gave a huge list of historical players and they are no where to be found. I'm woried I'm just an idiot and can't find them due to my idiocy.
