@Khain24_PSN said in Your 2023 first 48 hours plan:

Get zero high rated LS diamonds (Ohtani/Trout/Judge and others).
Cry.

Me too. On the first few days of a new release, I treat every pack like I'm scratching off a lotto ticket. Also... never buy packs.

[adamsst_PSN]

1. Schedule a vacation day for Friday, March 24th (done)
2. Configure settings

My game plan is identical to yours and it's a good one. Only difference is no rtts for me.

gentlemen - may the baseball gods be at your back on week one

my usual strategy each year is the same - all cards i collect i immediately sell off - buy a nice bronze / silver team that i immediately go to online with - whether events or RS - build up from there

this year i may wait awhile and dive into diablo 4 beta instead - let SDS get through the initial burp weeks - but yeah online for me all the way - 0 CPU games or minimal at best (conquest maps i hate but doable with enough to smoke)

I'm really hoping we don't have the server issues for the first few weeks.

1st time??

@arvcpa_MLBTS said in Your 2023 first 48 hours plan:

I think I posted something like this last year. So, what's your plan for the first few days of MLBTS 2023? For me:

1. Get through all the "forced" tutorials.
2. Configure all my settings.
3. Rip open all packs.
4. Do all the quick programs, Moments, small Conquests.
5. Then... I'm guessing I'll work through the USA map. I'm assuming it will take a while for me to get used to the new hitting and fielding. I'd love to jump into Mini Seasons, but given the issues last year, I'll wait and if others run into problems.
6. After a few days, maybe jump into the first Event.
7. After a week or so, take my chances on BR. I need to let all the "A-players" work through it first.

What are you guys doing first?

1. Tutorials- beer #1
2. Create my team-name- colors etc- beer #2
3. Tour the new game- familiarize myself with the site
4. Rip packs- beers #3-5 to commiserate over my lack of Trout/Ohtani pulls
5. Create RTTS player and start first Archetype
6. Buy whatever pieces I need to have a useable first roster- beer #6.
7. Call buddy who drives for Uber Eats and order more beer.

I hope they don't have the same server issues like they had to start with like last year and 21.

As far as my first 48 hours. Unlocking all the Phils and Guardians LS collection.
The annoying tutorials.
Get rid of the cut scene that floats around your pitcher during certain at bats.
The conquest maps and whatever programs I can bang out.

If you don't mind me asking, what all does your spreadsheet entail? This will be my second year playing DD.

Good point. I’d like to change mine :):

[Easy_Duhz_It__PSN]

My first 48 hours are basically gonna consist of opening packs, knocking out some quick content (moments, conquests)....and working.

Saturday the 26th at noon, i leave work and i have 9 days off.

That's when the grind really begins.

When the servers are up, my plan is to flip less and play more RS. Just having more fun with it overall.

I’m with you on this. I’ll still try to collect every Flashback and Legend while completing the LS collection but my focus will be more online play this season.

I don't recall any server issue last year at early access or mass release. Pretty sure 2022 was the least eventful server issue year we have had

I like that creating your RTTS player needs more focus that you stopped drinking for that step

5. Make spreadsheets for the programs

If you don't mind me asking, what all does your spreadsheet entail? This will be my second year playing DD.

I make spreadsheets for each program (including the feature programs) that tracks missions, moments, points, and rewards ( @BxnnyMxn__MLBTS has seen some of these and can comment on them if he wishes) and a Lineup and Depth Chart. This one can be seen on my YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@blindbleeder

At first, they aren't very intuitive but if you're familiar with Excel, and after you get used to my format, they are easy to use. No knowledge of formulas are required. You just need to know where and where not to put x's.

The main reason I make the program sheets (besides calming my OCDness) is because I find it annoying to have to keep referring back to the program pages to see where I am. With these sheets, I can keep playing and mark my progress in the sheets and focus on what I need to do to finish the program.

My lineup and depth chart sheet uses the API database and helps me keep track of my parallels as well as the attributes of my current squad and those of the LS teams I play. I will probably have to do a lot of tweaking on this for 23 with the introduction of Captains and Series cards. I get the attributes for the cards I "own" by copy/pasting my "owned" cards from the Inventory section of the website. I am still looking for a better solution for this without having to shell out money for it.
