Currently live. Like the limitations in this one and can hopefully have more of a skill based experience with everyone using the same cards
“More skill based” goes right out the window as soon as you read “difficulty: all-star”.

Away from console. What are the limitations this time around?
Gold, Silver, Commons only. 6 innings, AS diff. and no quick counts.
Can be very diverse teams with the no diamonds and I like it
There could be, but there won’t.
Some influencer will define the “meta” lineup and that’s what you’ll see the majority of the time.I don’t mind the no Diamond in theory, but I’m bummed because I recently pulled a few diamonds that I was looking forward to trying out competitively without throwing them on my RS team.
My bigger issue, disappointment is the 6 innings with no quick counts. Kind of defeats the purpose of Events for many, especially when their asking for 50 wins over a couple weeks or so. As much as I complained about quick counts in a competitive mode, and think it is still a valid criticism, I have to admit it was kind of fun to have a new experience, and I’d prefer them back if they are going to make it 6 hours...but standard 3 innings still being optimal. Honestly optimal probably would have been 3 innings/HOF. Game would probably play great in that level using Golds/Silvers. Oh well...
The no quick counts is a big bugaboo for me for Cuz of how fast the games went by and I did like that style of play giving a new situation each at bat
-
Will be getting tons of messages I will give you the win just bunt the whole game so I can to innings for TA
-
honestly the TA innings are more valuable than most of the rewards after McGriff anyways
-
I just played 2 games of the event and it was pretty good. Yes quick counts would have been fun but over games had a good pace and seeing the gold players its refreshing

Plus alot of the stat mission for stage 1 and 2 could easily be completed durning this event

@Speedy44 said in Live series event:
This sounds awful. No one wants to use those gold cards that they have anyways
Agreed, this is the worst event ive ever heard of. No diamonds, and 6 innings? YUCK!!
-
Hopefully easier to get 12 wins with everyone upset about it too!
-
Well, at least we won’t have to deal with Mantle or chipper Prestige grinders in this one.
-
Gold prices are trending downwards kinda surprised
-
Wish it was quick counts. Made the second event much more fun tbh

I agree on 6 innings with no quick counts being garbage but the influencers have nothing to do with what the lineups will be. It really shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that the best lineup is
C Grandal/Gary
1B Olson
2B Muncy
SS Turner
3B Bryant
LF JD Martinez
CF Gallo
RF Soto -
New event is good for finishing Daily missions for Gold Players... Also tolerable way to select certain players from certain teams for TA and Team based daily awards.
It is still really a long slog to get McGriff..

This event is booty
And not the clean smooth kind you wanna get at. But rather the dirty flat kind nobody wants to eat.
-
Yikes... 6 Innings no Quickcounts... Thats not too much fun tbh

Played quite a few games yesterday in the event and I think I finished 6 innings in maybe 2/12 games. Others resulted in quit.

RF SotoThis is kind of proving my point just by defining a “best” lineup.
But maybe this is just me because I believe this is all far more subjective. For instance I can’t hit at all with Olson so I never use him. I’m not going to bother with Gallo, because it’s another batter I don’t seem to do well with...my guess is that he gets my opponents full attention and people focus and have optimal strategies to limit my effectiveness with him. My first build I threw Laureano in CF so I at least had one plus defender. Hit a homer first at bat, so I’ll be giving him some more time.As long as I’m playing the event I’ll be swapping players around depending on who’s been affective or not...and I think that puts me in a minority. And just an observation, but it seems like lineup construction on this game is governed by a form of “fomo” with a large segment of the base unwilling to roll out anything that isn’t seem as optimal.
-
Probably just gonna use this for TA grinds to get some teams out of stage 1. Don't care about the rewards or wins. Would be nice if it was QC.
