    Today, I will get my second and final WS pack. I need to take a Milestone card for Mantle. I get two picks.

    The cards I'm considering are Johnson, Halladay, and Rivera (Finest).

    Johnson throws heat with his outlier.
    Halladay has much better arm accuracy and control.
    Rivera, a Finest, has good accuracy and control, but his stamina sucks (CP).

    I have Johnson's Signature card at P4, but I haven't had much success with him online. His Milestone card has worse accuracy but better control. I know he is a premium card, but I don't want to take him if I won't use him (I know, I can always sell him).

    I haven't used Halladay's cards online, but I've faced him and knocked him out early. His card looks really good, though.

    Rivera is Rivera. I have Eck (who I always seem to give up at least one run with when closing), Hader, Pressly, Chapman, and Wagner as CPs, so I'm not sure I really need another CP. But it is very tempting to add him to my bullpen.

    I've also thought about taking one card and selling the other, but I don't need the stubs (no, I'm not maxed out. I don't even have a million because I've spent so much trying to get Mantle).

    I pulse pitch (I know, pinpoint is the way to go - that will come next year), so control and arm accuracy are important.

    Mindless ramblings of a vacant cerebrum.

    Any thoughts from the gallery?

    Who did you pick with your 200 inning pack? Any hitters? I think this game has evolved into an outlier pitcher's game. Halladay as good as he was IRL would probably be like a Hershiser and hittable on All Star. I can't imagine Johnson being much better than his Signature card. Rivera looks pretty good to me. He throws pitches and has velocity that he didn't have IRL and certainly has a better pitch mix than Pressly. If you are set with pitchers, I would take a hitter over Halladay or Johnson (since you already have a 99 Johnson hehe)

    Milestone Johnson is nearly a no hitter for me through 6 innings every outing.
    Take him and do not look back.

    What other vouchers do you need for Mantle besides the Milestone one? And is it ONLY one more MS to get that voucher?

    2HH (2) and Finest (9). I'm not going after the Finest since I have so many to get, and I already have all of the 2HH in the pack.

    I like the thinking of @TEXAS10PT_PSN on taking Rivera and leaving Halladay behind.

    @TEXAS10PT_PSN - I took Ripkin and Posada - both 2HH cards with my 200 inning pack. I need an MS card, so that is either Willis, Johnson, or Halladay.

    I'll drop Eck (he blew another save for me in the 14th) from my pen and add Rivera to Hader and Chapman as CPs. Sorry Eck!!!! I love ya' man, but your card doesn't do you justice.

    Finest is also what I left behind during my final push because I needed so many. I am glad SDS decided we needed one ticket below all of them so we could adjust our acquisition strategy and determine which collection was the most expensive towards the end.
    So do I interpret your message to mean the end is in sight and you will be done once you pick your last Milestone from the pack? Excellent!

    I wish. I still have 2 MS cards to get. I'll move on to Moonshot and try and get 5 wins so I can get those last two cards.

    Get the Finest from the Event or just buy some as they're much cheaper.

    If you are that close to Mantle, you should have Dibble already. Doesn't take much to get him to a 99. He throws GAS. Get your 5 event wins and I think you can get Gossage too (or is that another program?) He throws GAS too.

    I misspoke - sorry. I need two 2HH and 1 MS. I took Johnson and Rivera.

    @TEXAS10PT_PSN - ooooooo...I didn't think about Dibble. I'm pretty sure I have him, he was a reward for a collection. I'll throw him in there too.

    I'm doing Moonshot now, so none of these pitchers matter at this point.

    Dibble is the collection at 10 vouchers towards Mantle. You got this buddy.

    I am going to make a luxury tax team and play the CPU Dodgers on HOF...we'll see how that goes 🙄 😨 😬 😂

    It will have all of these 99 high-priced (or non-sellable) cards I just earned on it. Maybe I should stream the game 😂

    Actually based on OVR at the end of the season, I now consider the Astros to have the strongest lineup. SDS really went overboard in the final rankings with diamonds on their live roster and now they are perma-juiced.

    Some of those high priced cards I (and you presumably) bought at the end are worth it from a rating and performance standpoint. Some of them are high priced because of rarity and do not reflect actual game performance as far as I am concerned.

    I agree. I beat the CPU Dodgers in the 10th. The Astros are next. I actually thought about that as I was playing the game. I played on Legend too. Most of the cards on my roster I earned.

    C Piazza Finest
    1B Foxx TO
    2B Jackie Robinson 2022 All-Star
    3B George Brett Finest
    SS Jimmy Rollins Finest
    LF Mike Trout 2022 Finest
    CF Micky Mantle Finest
    RF Andrew McCutchen Finest

    Bench Lou Brock Milestone
    Bench Eddie Mathews Finest
    Bench Joe Morgan FoF
    Bench Alfonso Soriano MA
    Bench Byron Buxton 2022 Finest

    SP Randy Johnson MS
    SP Bob Feller MS
    SP Gerrit Cole 2022 Postseason (I'm replacing him with Nolan Ryan MS when I get him)
    SP Vida Blue MS
    SP Walter Johnson TO

    RPs Evan Phillips 2022 Finest, Ryan Pressly 2022 PS, Joe Nathan Finest, Billy Wagner TO, Rob Dibble Finest, Josh Hader 2022 PS, Mariano River Finest, Aroldis Chapman Finest.

    I've never used some of these cards, so I'm getting the feel for them. Now is the time for me to shake things up in my lineup and learn to play with new cards.
