Just used him. Threw a one hit shutout with 19 strikeouts. Best control in the game. You can absolutely paint with him all game long. SDS did him justice with this card. Absolutely amazing.
Sounds like CPU game on Rookie level, or RS game in the 350-450 range.

I’m still selling, want Mantle before I get really busy again and don’t have as much time to play

Mize is pretty good too. Haven’t used Maddux yet, but Mize is really, really ****ing good.

I pray him and Rollins fill the role I need them too, both are endgame if they are as good as they look
Rollins only have like 77 power is an issue this year. Anything below 80-85 feels like you’re swinging a wet noodle.

Haven’t got him Prestiged yet!! Need to get on it. Doing offline conquest right now and I’m so bored. Thinking about switching over to the event and just having fun. I still have showdown and conquest to knock out. Already got the 10 event wins so I switched over to this offline stuff to maybe get Maddux or Musial this weekend. I’m picking one or the other. Offline is so boring to me.
At this point I wish we didn’t have to grind any offline stuff. I get it though. I know some people like it, so it’s whatever.
I haven’t t used Hershiser much. I have him, only had a few starts with him though. Need to get a feel for him.

I’m selling whoever is most expensive. I have thome prestiged and Thames. No need for another 1st basemen until frank or Gehrig come out

The most recent events have been a gift to get him prestiged, it’s a must do! He is also dirt cheap for how he plays! It’s amazing his sinker can hit 96 and curve at 68!

It was RS & I’m in the 500’s right now.

Was this in a DD game or against cpu?

Would you consider the possibility Maddux's stats had more to do with your opponent being 24-131 and batting .144?

Can't let anyone enjoy anything, can you guys?

Not when it's fake news.
It's misleading. It's a disservice to players who want honest reviews.

I know, right? Not everyone plays RS.

It’s alright man...I know trolls come with the territory when posting on this forum and that’s ok. I know when there’s a new player I’m thinking of getting I like reading reviews first so I try to pay it forward when I can.

I used him once last night. My opponent was high 600s IIRC and Maddux got destroyed. Usually, a somewhat bad outing first time I use someone wouldn't bother me much but just about every ball the guy hit was hit hard, and he hit quite a few.
His cutter didn't seem to have much "bite" to it and had a tendency to flatten out to lefties and his Snk doesn't have enough velocity to use in combination with his Circle.
He may end up being lights out once you reach HOF and the PCIs get smaller but on AS level, my opponent wasn't having any difficulty with him.
Take this with a grain of salt. I only used him in one RS game and one Event with similar results. I am by no means great at this game but I can usually hold my own. My pitchers have ERAs anywhere between 2.4 - 4 so it isn't a case of me just being a horrible pitcher.
Just my thoughts on a very small sample.

I want to clarify that I not only wasn't trying to troll you; I wasn't even trying to be slightly critical about the outcome YOU had.
I was only responding in reference to whether we can know Maddux is great yet.
If you were simply sharing a great game, I wouldn't have posted about your opponent. But knowing information about the opponent helps to add context to the review, especially if the review is based on 1 outing.

Good game but against any semi average player he's going to get smoked
