My precious keepers that I worried about getting last year are getting cut and benched. Could we please have our Keeper and MyLegend bumps to make theme worth playing?
They are worth playing if you invested in skills. Stop looking at player overall rating and realize keepers are just as good or better than the current players. They have double skills which keep their rating up.

Yeah I'll put my diamond 1 max skilled Mickey in from time to time. Even at D1 he still hits like .350-.400
Yea with the proper skills, my keeper goes from what otherwise would the number 1 most bench warming-worthy player, to my number 1 option for walk off hero
Bumping them would make them substantially better than any player in the game. I’m not disagreeing with you but there is no way Glu is doing that. They want keepers to remain less desirable so people continue to chase bonus boxes and new players. Any increase right now makes them the best player. They likely won’t get bumped until double skill players come in, possibly even prime players.
With both skills at 8, and active, both my keepers are around 170 hit at S10. That is really solid right now. It is disappointing that they are not much use for SF or battles, but them's the breaks. FWIW, Hoyt's stuff rating is still 156 at S10. That is 16 points higher than any other SP I have right now...

They are just as good or better than current players until they release a 3rd and 4th skill.
I’m starting to fully expect the first bump to come in about 1-2 months, and for it to have 420 primes. Straight from 315 to 420 primes.
Keepers main value is pre prime players because they fall behind usually after that. But now we arent even getting that small window where they carry us. Pretty disappointing, whether they get bumped today or in 1-2 months, they already arent as useful as the previous year
@Mattattack your wrong. Everyone is looking at their overall rating which means nothing. The 600 keepers are on par with the current foil players in terms of hit and power ratings. Add the 2nd skills and they are better then the current players available. Max overall means nothing here, I actually love where they are now because it only costs me 20g to reuse them in WOH versus 80 to 100 if they get bumped.

Agree to disagree. I dont look at things just for WOH as that is mode just isnt what it used to be. WOH used to be my favorite event once upon a time and its probably the day I look forward too the least now. Although this is probably more of conversation about where WOH is then a Keeper convo. HR battles have become a bigger thing this year, and the power rating for keeper is so far behind other players, which in terms makes them a lesser option for target bash as well. Also they arent as useful for cvc if you chose a 2x RHP batter because Glu has been able to switch between a righty and lefty pitcher. When a lefty pitcher comes up my Keeper George Brett is easily my biggest liability. I guess my point is they where much more useful to me in April 2019 then April 2020 given the pace of the game.
Yea I agree with that in regardless to bash and derby. But keepers weren't made for that. They are designed for WOH and perhaps prime , bgs, etc.. where the skills come into effect. Keepers have no value in bash or derby because they have no skills active in them. Dont worry, maybe they will sell sanchez 2.0 this weekend with +1 power rating over the last version for $20.

I agree with @Mattattack 100%. But keepers just weren't made for bash or derby based on their power ratings. Maybe a math whiz can crunch the numbers, how much will the power ratings go up if the keeper factor goes up .3 .5 etc.. I cant see it being a huge difference.

Hey gotta a keeper question...I have my P- Cy Young and OF Babe Ruth as my first 2 keepers(and only all time greats I got) but who would you choose as your last keeper between C Johnny Bench, 2b Davey Johnson, or 3b Tim Wallach. I also have OF Jim rice, and OF Luis Gonzalez. Obviously all are 600 max. But the last one is what’s keeping me from picking my keepers. I was thinking 2 OF I don’t really want that. Babe and Tim Wallach I like.
I don’t care if I spend money to upgrade my keepers in fact I used mine last year especially the pitcher that’s the best keeper! I used him #1 all the way even if he was ranked a few levels lower.
I suggest you keep the one that helps you the most in the game mode you like best (someone else gave that advice, not mine). For me it’s WOH, but that is just my preference, definitely not that important.
I'm confused by what you mean by 5.7 and 5.8. You mean the round and level?

That’s what I’ve been reading a lot on the forums lately. A lot of people have been choosing based on mode.
I play prime, bonus, weekend/Wed Royale all the time but WOH/Slugfest, it’s once in a while meaning every other week sometimes every week if needed or awesome player.

Anyone know now when to expect the first bump?
