This is the only right answer man. Just use guys you like and keep changing them up. Or maybe start using theme teams. If not you will get bored.

Hahahaha, you are right of course. That's basically what I've done all year which is why I have completed every offline program, BR several times, all conquests including RIB like 50 times, and am about 200k away from finishing the forever inning and have yet to p5 anyone hahaha NOT 1 P5!!!!.

I just love getting ideas for guys I've overlooked. Many names listed here I've used plenty and love like George Brett. I have about 6 regular rosters (1 for each division) and several others that I use on occasion.

I've finally broken into using most of the Finest cards but there are still some I haven't touched, same with Postseason etc. For instance, I just started using Finest Kyle Tucker, Paul Goldschmidt, Marcus Semien and love them, still haven't tried Jeimer Candelario, Ryan Mountcastle, Cj Cron, Freddie Freeman and others.

Ultimately, I'll always mix them up, but I'm bored and love lists and suggestions.

Thanks all. Sorry if this is super self indulgent. I feel like we're in purgatory with no real baseball, the game a month away and 21 over for several months.

To "challenge" myself a little, I went back and used an entire "42 Series" recently to do Conquest Maps.

I went back and looked at my 42 players to see what level I had them paralleled at. I have a 2 or 3 at P4 others at P3. I did not think I had any of them that high except for Robinson.

Here's what I've been doing:

1. Practicing Pin Point Pitching. I tried it in the spring, was terrible at it, and now I'm working my way around the Conquest map using it. I've made the decision to only use PPP in MLB 22. If you face me online in early April, you can expect either a dot or a HBP. No in-between.

2. I'm using "lesser" versions of the players who's swings I love. For example, one of my best cards all year has been Finest Winker. So, for my Conquest team, I'm using his LS version.
