It was easier to get stubs to get him last year. I’m a huge Angels fan and I don’t play battle royale. My biggest issue though is who else gets a finest on the Angels. Taylor Ward? Good in case the beginning, terrible in the end. Luis Regnifo finished strong, but neither of them are really deserving
It will be Ohtani

If you don’t play out of the gate, a lot of the goons are gone. I went 20-3 last BR and finished in 2 runs by waiting a bit.
Second time in a row I went 11-0 than faced a guy something like 70-2 in the flawless game ( I hung in there, but again, runner up is first loser).
I always start weak and finish strong...
However, I'm heading out of town for work for 10 days leading up to Thanksgiving, so I'm just trying to get a head start...
-
For some unknown reason I drafted after I finished the last program and never played a game.
So I need to figure out if I want to try a run, and by a run I mean possibly four games, with the lineup I have or redraft and get some mission players.
-
I'm so mad at myself. Figured with Finest coming out all the op cards would be easily earned through grinding. There have ot been tbe million stub cards like past years so i figured no reason to hoard stubs. So I went on a binge stocking cards for the final collection. Put my stack at 850k so I'm not getting in on trout early enough to use him

@samguenther1987 said in Finest Trout:
Yup, take my stubs lol, down to 300k. This card is insane. 110+ contact on each side and 125 power on both sides with 99 speed? Might be the best card ever.
There are several guys this year with 125's x 4. If Trout has active quirks, then it's a cinch. But this year there are WAY too many "perfect" hitters out there...

Same. I have a team from like 3 programs ago. Giving it a shot and am currently 6-0. I'm shellshocked because I suck. But let's see how this goes...

So are you playing BR now each season? I know you always hated it due to pitch speeds but am glad to see you’ve maybe changed your tune as this is far and away my favorite mode!

Wonder how long he takes to drop off a mil. BR is an insane amount easier than RS to get the rewards so shouldn't be all that long. That said that curiosity is mostly for when Walters price will drop since l have Trout by Friday probably
It's definitely easier as I was able to get to 100 last month...but looking at the missions, more offense based ones, this will take a while for a week hitter like myself. I'll eventually get them all but actually looking forward to that Walter Johnson card.
I hate Walter Johnson’s card. Aside from the fact that they ruin his speed differentials with double outlier (I am glad they took it off Chapman) I just can’t deal with that delivery. I would have to IBB the first batter of every inning to have him pitch from the stretch to use him. I do admit he is hard to hit when someone knows how to use him. Not that I am a great hitter to begin with.

You think so? I've assumed all year he would be a Takashi collection and now I'm wondering if he'll be the big collection. But yeah, nobody else on the team deserve a Finest other that Trout and ohtani.

I didn't even look at those missions yet, but 6 out of the 12 mission cards are pitchers so thats an extremely easy 24 program points
My weekness is the offense. I struggle to string hits together or score runs against good players so getting 4k pxp in one BR run or 12 XBH is really challenging. But I'm working on it. Patience and I aren't always best friends.

I had to bite the bullet due to the amount of stubs you can earn and ease to get the rewards. It’s actually been fairly enjoyable , so thank you for continually telling me I should give it a try.

I know what you mean, but I am glad that we have the program instead of having to go flawless. Otherwise I wouldn’t have a chance.

I guess will see soon enough but yah i just don't see who else it could be. Maybe Taylor Ward.

They could do what they did last year and make the Finest a hitter primary and the Takashi a Pitche primary or Vice versa.

Oh yeah, I would never win BR without the program. I actually just routed somebody who clearly didn't know how to play. Had a someone out of position playing 1B so he made like 4 errors. I tried telling him but I give him credit for finishing the game.

Honestly I've found not focusing on those single run missions is the best way. Don't think of it as you needing to score 10 runs a game to get the 4000 PXP. Just try to play 6 or 7 games a run(I know thats difficult in its own right but still somewhat different). That's all you really need normally
-
Is Trout worth the 1,000,000 stub price tag?
-
That answer is dependant upon how easy stubs are to get for you.
It is also dependant upon how you will compare him to all the other top of the line OFs that will come out that will also be much cheaper and easier to get. -

Worth is solely determined by the buyer.

@samguenther1987 said in Finest Trout:
The way I look at it is I'm only order 185 out of 445, it could be a lot worse.
How can you tell where you are in line? I was in the high 400's when I put my bid in yesterday an hour after it came out.
THx!
