Who is NOT Grinding for Griffey?

I'm not. I jumped into the game for the first time in a while. I completely ignored the last inning program.
I decided that I would complete my Cardinals team so I bought Arrenado, finished the Yadi player program and now will work on getting Goldschmidt. At that point any other playing I do will be with that team.
I decided that if they ever release 99 Pujols it will be too late for me to care.
Same, these idiots do this mess adding the Griffeys, the Trouts, Pujols late thinking there will be a mass influx of gamers back into the game. Fail. Most people stop playing or caring after the postseason. I ignored the last 1-2 innings as well, and I get certain Cardinals cards too, and thats it. I may do a conquest here and there. But there are far better games at this point. Game is just stale to me though, has been for a while

I got him right quick. Put him into a ranked game and right away he comes to bat in the 1st with 2 on, 2 out. His very first pitch an inside cutter and I swing and FLY AWAY BASEBALL!!!!!! No doubter to right center. I'd tell ya the distance but unfortunately my opponent's connection gave out while the ball was still in the air. That's a walk-off in the first by Reds legend Griffey Jr.
Since then, a few games, a few bombs here, a few more there.... He's on a tear out there! A true card to fear if you're pitching to it. Cant recommend enough. 4 out of 4 stars, would grind again.

Will they drop an mvp harper/shohei and another trout still?
Doesn’t Harper already have an award card or some 99 card?

He does, as does Ohtani. I don't see either one of them getting another card.

Most people, but not all people. You have to keep some back for those who go the distance. Even when gt7 hits in March, providing they don't push it back, I'll still be playing baseball.

With all the other endgame outfielders he isn't really a necessity but he was always one of my favorite players so I unlocked him, I just skipped the finest voucher. With all the stubs and free packs the game throws at you he wasn't very hard to get. I totally get why people would just want to sell their collection cards and just buy the guys they really want tho.
-
Griffey has the most disgusting glitchy swing as a lefty bat in the game, totally worth it imo

The only time Super Trout WASN’T the last card released in the game cycle was last year. Once 99 Trout is unleashed, it’ll be all but confirmed 21 has ended.

No, I don’t know why they would. They are both good cards. What more do people want from them?

Stopped at Foxx. He fits perfectly in my Old Guys theme team. I am an offline only old curmudgeon and I didn’t bother with DD for the first half of the season (burned out from doing and collecting everything in ‘21) so I am short on a couple collections. I likely won’t get Kershaw or Jr but I have everything else that I want anyway. DD sucked me in again this year in the end with all the content! LOL.

I dig it. I have an old guy theme team too, who is on yours?

Was pleasantly surprised how easy this collection was. No additional grinding necessary…just stay on top on the new cards as they are released (especially the BR silvers and golds).

Exactly. I skipped the Finest and Griffey and Foxx were mine hahaha evil

I’d need millions in Stubbs still just to get to Kershaw. Think I’ll play the 96 if I want Griffey on my team
-
C'mon, it's Griffey Jr braw! He's already in my NMS lineup.

Mantle, Mays, Musial OF
Honus, Banks, Jackie, Gehrig IF
Foxx at CAaron, Snider, Clemente, Mathews, and Torre on the bench.
SP Feller, Newhouser, Johnson, Young and Grove
RP Plesac, Eck, smoltz, Henke, Fingers, Hoffman, Franco, Rivera.Hard to get really old on the RP LoL. I’ll sometimes sub in Brooks Robinson but I have a hard time hitting with him. Ruth will take someone out when I buy him back. And Johnny Bench will take out Torre. You? Sorry I know this is OT.
-
Me.... because I already have him.

Nice, yeah I just got Ruth but I don't want to take Musial out because I'm a Cards fan and he destroys the baseball how am I gonna leave Ruth on the bench you know.
Mine:
- Robinson 2B
- Mays LF
- Gehrig 1B
- Mantle CF
- Ruth RF
- Bench C
- Matthews 3B
- Banks SS
Bench C-Foxx, IF- Wagner and Morgan, OF- Musial and Aaron
SP- pretty much the same as yours haha. I have Bob Gibson in there and sometimes Tom Seaver but the ones you listed are all awesome.
RP- The same, yeah Rollie is probably the ultimate "old timer"
Back to Griffey, I got to claim him first day but haven't used him much.
-
Is Griffey worth it? Maybe. But in my opinion the grind is what makes it fun and keeps me motivated to play. Case in point, non of those equipment collections are worth the rewards. I just like completing collections regardless.
