April Monthly Awards - Great job!
-
I am so giddy right now. I am getting most of the April players and making my way up to Buxton.
I haven't had this much fun in a videogame in a long long time.
I can do all this stuff offline too!
-
You think your excited now? Wait until you pick up Ohtani and Vlad! They crush for me. Not quite up to Buxton yet but the others are solid.
-
Ramone.....
-
Ohtani has been amazing for me. Plays way above the 89 rating even, imo.
-
Ya i got them all! it was so fun and quite easy. Was it this easy in previous years? I really enjoyed it as it wasn't much of a grind and I used the players I kept getting in conquest to get to the next player and levels. Now I went from a team of bronze/silvers to diamonds!

Yeah I was skeptical about Vlad, never liked his swing and not doing much in Conquest. But in RS he’s crushing it vs. righties

The worst this year is R2 holders if you use PPP. Have given up 5-6 dingers already because of that: the guy holds R2, then release and press R2 again as you wind up; floater and bang. They said in the stream yesterday they were addressing an issue relating to R2 online, hope this is it. You shouldn’t be able to use it twice before a pitch; once released that’s it.

For some reason I can't hit with Ohtani yet but Vlad is a beast and will be my 1st/3rd baseman for a long time.

im not familiar w/ this. does holding R2 show where the pitch is coming?

No, it brings up stats and displays pitch history to current player; current AB after the first pitch, prior AB before the pitch. But this pauses your pitcher, some people use it to combat quick pitching. But if they do it while you started your sequence in PPP, your meter becomes useless and it’s almost guaranteed middle-middle. It’s a cheap exploit.

It's literally so crazy how some people hit so great with certain players and others can't hit with certain ones. It's honestly really interesting. My biggest example is Gallo. I'm complete dog with him and others seem to rake with him.

Last year was easy, it was the first year they did it this way. 19's was terrible, because you had to collect all the Topps Now cards (and you didn't get to choose they were random), and all the Monthly cards were in Monthly packs.
In 17 and 18, they had Monthly packs and you had to collect all the players and complete missions. And the packs cost I want to say 30k, along with there being a limit of 2. 18's did get a lot easier at the end, when they put a random Monthly pack in the store after the season for only 15k, and there was no limit on how many you could buy. I wound up doing them all thanks to that, and the POTM Yelich was the only Monthly program that cost over 100k near the end of the cycle. And that was thanks to it being Yelich, and you having to collecting Monthly Trevor Story who people loved, and a good Monthly Walker Buehler. The only other one that came close was the one that required you to collect Monthly Hader, because that Hader was bananas.

maybe i'll load up 20 and have a look. i think this years menus are much more user friendly to help understand what needs to be done for these programs and sub programs.
