For the Reveal pack? It was just a Choice Pack. Not a Finest Pack. The Choice pack was a Vault 4 pack.

2 cards i want. 99 Adley, and 99 Elly (which doesnt exist unfortunately).

I've only got 6 this year
Christian Yelich, Rafael Palmeiro, Shawn Green, Vinny Castilla, Lawrence Butler and Mike Yastrzemski
I did more in years past but this year I have alot in top 10-100 I've P5'd probably 250 or so cards 😬 I was gonna post a couple pics but it said I don't have the privilege 🤔

@Jeff7407_PSN I've secretly been hoping that this made a "moments rewind" return just so those who never did it could experience the pain.

There were a few of those missions that were painful. The Joe Torre doubles comes to mind as well but nothing has ever approached that Nava moment.
A rerelease, even in moments form, would cause more than a few of the residents here to completely lose their minds.

@Capt-Clutch-2K24_PSN Because LS and Finest Captains are neither LS nor Finest cards. They're Captain Cards.

I got Santander, Adley, Pipeline Skenes out of 150 packs + 3 chase packs. Also got Shohei, HR Derby Witt, Acuna Jr, Goose, Captain Suzuki and a bunch of other diamonds. Packs are juiced to the gylls lol

Played Ranked last night and probably will tonight. All Time Teams 🙂

Give us Captain Morgan vouchers to redeem to keep us warm in winter months 🤪
Who's with me?

Trying to play on rookie but it feels like I'm playing on All Star with how the CPU is hitting everything that I throw and not swinging much if at all. Did they make it harder to get wins or what or did they just make the CPU better

That's why it's called Extreme. All teams are God Squads like us in it. I had a few hairy Moments doing the wins on All-Star or above for vouchers!

I'm a constant card swapper myself. I try to use most cards until p1. In fact, I'm playing 23 now and not locking anything in for a collection until its p1. I may go with that approach for 2025, depending on how much offline content they provide (2024 was lighter on that, particularly in the second half of the year)

Not as significant as the Poppi/Whitey Ford boost.

Soriano becomes the very best card in the game followed by Mick and Posada.
And the Subway 99 Jeter is a great 2 hole hitter to boot.

Good glad that it worked

Equip a power perk and speed perk when you just have 2 slots. Add a contact one when you get three. Ohtani cleats are good. Top bats give 9 power 7 contact. Just pick blue or diamond equity you like for other items.

Can you explain in a little more detail what exactly you look for?

I don't think I can explain it much better but if you go into practice mode and find a guy with a higher leg kick like trout, biggio, etc. If you time when he's placing his foot down on the ground then the hands are going through the zone at the exact same time.

Go in a game on rookie mode and just hit a HR perfect perfect then analzye the swing, what where the foot is hitting the ground when you're making contact with the ball

I'd pick one batter and use practice mode then set it to inside fastballs until you get the timing down....then switch to strikes inside and outside

Most the batters are different with their kicks, I think trout/tatis/biggio are really good for this method. Joc Pederson for example has a crazy high weird leg kick that I have a hard time with...David Wright I think has almost a slide step and is hard to time with different pitch speeds...I'm good with gehrig but he has a fairly low leg kick too.

I think you've gotta try it out in practice mode on a few players with decent leg kicks in their stride

I'm done playing for the year I think, but im curious what your starting lineup you use for this method? Ive heard of ppl using this before, but never really tried since i use a cubs theme team

I am running a combo of poppi and Whitey Ford currently.

Gives me my Fav swings at many lineup spots

Mantle
Posada
Soriano
Utley

All swings are upticked

@MiKySaK_PSN

i can play online but since its the only card left that i want to buy i might as well put all of my stubs towards it. i will be playing this game more casually once the end game for mlb 24 hits

I don’t understand how Ryan Helsley went from a gold to a silver and stayed there. They really need to adjust how they do RP/CP

You can drive yourself crazy if you look at the numbers and ratings.

Blake Treinen has an 80 for his K/9 attribute. His SO/9 in real life was 10.8
Ryan Helsley has a 71 for his K/9 attribute. His SO/9 in real life was 10.7

A 9 point attribute difference for between a 10.7 and 10.8?

We shan't talk about Treinen have the same 99 velocity rating as Helsley. Or that he only had 5 save opportunities and 1 save all year and is labeled as a closer in front of 4 other LA pitchers that had more save opportunities and saves. By the way, that one save came in May

I have said it for years. Their pitching metrics are focused on H/9, K9, and BB9. If you are successful by other metrics it does not matter. There is no attribute for weak contact.

And they signed him for five years. As a Giants fan, I saw what we had to put up with him last year. I don't think five years was a wise investment.

What do you mean? Was he a [censored] or something?
I don't see the Dodgers as evil at all with nice ppl like Shohei, Mookie, Clayton, etc. Even the manager is a mellow guy. Magic is a good dude aa well.

Snell literally stunk in the first half of last season. Of course the perfect game was great, but he only had a 5-3 record last year. The Dodgers are taking a risk and a big one. (Here's his link in BR: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/snellbl01.shtml).

He always stinks in the first couple of months but once he's got his mechanics lined out, he's arguably the best pitcher in the game. He was also on and off the IL the first few months of last season.

Computer sliders are maxed out it seems. Same goes for mini seasons. Definitely feeling wonky. I think they wanted to give a challenge. Mission successful if so.
