Well at least this made me do the unthinkable and actually rather play the event
But that reward is not repeatable, so doesn’t help much at all.

I got 2 stolen bases in 1 game, then 7 the next, with Craig Biggio swiping 5!
Wasn't too bad after all. The 5000 PXP, though!
I was 'lucky,' to have some Kaiju Program to go, so I had Stasburgh pitch 6 for a quality save, then Britton the last 3 for a save at Coors, so i picked up over 1000 Kaiju PXP for that 2500. -
I really don’t mind grinding for programs because it gives me xp and something to play for. Only problem is all these cards are pretty useless. Plus the topps now Aranado captain today boost contact and power vs left which he’s already maxed out on. Lol

I remember when this forum was asking for stat grinds and now that they have added them it's a ridiculous concept.
Maybe the issue is this community has no idea what it actually wants cause it flips flops on everything
Give me a grind , but put a usable card at the end of it, The format of grinding and grinding over and over to collect cards into a set for a single reward has to go. Meanwhile , rip packs for useable cards same day.
Even the pack cards , one has no quirks and the other is meh. Content in season two imo has been sub par. It’s not like TA1 cards were all that amazing , but at least then there weren’t 30 better options to play, people got them and had to use them due to lack of better options. TA2 cards will be used most likely by many but mostly because TA1 will be out.
I prefer a constant progression , 90’s , then 95’s , then 99’s. What I don’t want is in a month to be grinding ta3 to get numbers.
That’s all we’re doing here. We’re accumulating numbers to equal a good card.

Steals are a gimme in 2023.

At this point who uses 97 or below? Maybe good for theme teams
The big question for those who don't use 97 or below anymore is how much of their squad is expiring in three weeks?

League players don’t expire to my knowledge. That’s why I put the best out there and not worry about the expiration nonsense.

Nope, just checked it’s definitely just the Father’s Day cards and even summarizes- Bichettes, Biggios, Griffeys and Guerreros

I just press L2 before the pitch. There are so many catchers like Austin Nola that anyone can steal bases off of. Find those catchers and play those teams.

And then theres the moments...... Ken Griffey Jr for instance. Hit 1 home run, ok easy enough.... o you only get 1 at bat and the pitcher won't throw strikes? Going to be here awhile
Dude, all 10 moments took less than 20 minutes. Of all the horrible program moments we've endured and complained about... these are not them lol

But isn't that how all captain cards work? They boost the rest of the team in attributes that they are already good at.

Hold down R2 so the pitcher can't do anything. Click L2 to initiate the steal once you release. Take an extra step with L1. Make sure the pitcher has come completely set. Release R2 and enjoy the great jump. I got all 10 steals in two and a half conquest games. I had 4 steals with Craig Biggio in a single inning with him in the leadoff spot by stealing both 2nd and 3rd each time.

I just pre-command my runner(s) to steal and if I only have one runner on base after I pre-command I hit L1 (not sure what button that is on XBox but I imagine it's equivalent L-Trigger)... more often then not I do this to "hit & run" unless I am actually working on an SB mission then I'll do a straight steal the same way... I tend to only steal and/or hit & run my runner on second if I have a righty batting and my general rule is 70+ speed and/or steal for me to send the runner... if both numbers are under that then I don't even attempt although I'm sure some lower rated guys could get you some bags on rookie... I think the only player I ever attempted to straight steal with that doesn't meet those requirements is Daniel Vogelbach and that's just because of the commercial the Mets ran right before the season started... him and Buck Showalter are hilarious in it... lol

Has SDS clarified if Set 1 cards can still be used for offline play after they expire? I don’t know why, but I was under the impression that Set 1 cards would only expire for online play.
