WOW - BEST 2 CARDS IN THE GAME, CAPTAIN RIPKEN Jr & ROLLINS - SUPER TEAM!!!
Hello,
I have been trying to build the most incredible lineup and a few weeks ago discovered CAPTAIN - Cal Ripken Jr & Jimmy Rollins are incredible!!! Everyone struggles with the Extreme Program and this set up has helped drastically! Especially for the average player like myself.I do have most of the cards in the game, but these captains are incredible and easily worth the roster spot even though they are not 99s.
Many of you gamers might already know this, but if you don't, buy these players while they are fairly cheap. 95 Captain Ripken was at the market before update at $300k and has went to as high as $390k. Currently he's at about $45k which is a steal. Rollins was as high as $250k I think and is now at $130k or so.
Ripkens Team boost: You have a team of 11+ hitters with a Durability of 99. All players with 99 durability will recieve:
+10 Contact vs Right
+15 Contact vs Left
+10 Batting Clutch
+5 Fielding Ability.
With these buffs my entire team was all 125+ for right and left Contact and most were at 120-125 Clutch.
This made games so much easier as there are some incredible players with a Durability 99! Lots of flexibility as about 50x 99 players have a Durability of 99! If you haven't tried Ripken as Captain, please do as you won't regret it!!! He's incredible!
Rollins is kind of the same way. His team boost is any player with a primary or secondary SS position. Which is a ton of amazing players that are eligible Shortstops produced almost the same as Ripken. Rollins team boost are: 11 players with Shortstop as primary or secondary position will recieve:
+15 Contact Right
+10 Contact Left
+15 Batting Clutch
+5 Speed.
My whole team was maxed and created an amazing Bunt/Steal team and was able to have my starting 9 all have 125 for Contact vs Right and Left, 120-125 Clutch. And 93-99 speed. There were 6 players with maxed Contact and Speed and the other 3 were close. Rollins with the boost was almost maxed and was like 115 & 110 Contact with a 93 speed or something.
I tried it on a extreme Conquest game and hit 7 consecutive good bunts and scored 3 and then happend to hit a Grand slam for a additional 4. Putting me up
7-0 after the first inning.
Anyways, just wanted to post this for the people who don't know about Ripken and Rollins.
Between the 2 captains you can make 2 amazingly different teams for all the programs and missions. This has rejuvenated my thirst to play the game as tinkering with this was alot of fun and the results were incredible!
Just wanted whoever that didn't know to scoop up Ripken while he is extremely cheap before he goes back up to $200k. Rollins is a little more expensive, but trust me, these will become the corner stones of your teams!
Ripken and set 1 captains fell in price drastically because the Fire Sale Captain Pack for 1 hour on Friday. I expect Ripken to be back over $100k within a few days/next weekend and above $200k by the end of August!
Any other Show Gamers have any special Tricka or Teams they use to beat the more difficult Contact? I'm curious to try new teams and always open to learning and evolving.
Best of luck!

The Babe Ruth captain is very good but doesnt get mentioned much. It works for me because I find a lot of the old timers have similar swings and I like them. Babe gives 15 contact and 10 power vs right, 15 clutch, and i think 5 or 10 power vs left. This nearly maxes out Jimmie Foxx after parallels and fixes Willie Mays clutch rating. Also works for all of the NGL players so Martin Dihigo is amazing with these boosts.

Hello,
Best of luck!
My friend, THAT’s what I call an incredible post! Thank you for taking the time to put this up as many here are going to benefit from it. I could just about slam my face in a car door over my recent acquisition / resale of that Ripken Jr. Captain card, especially after seeing this lol. I essentially traded it for the Degromm Live card to my everlasting shame after picking it up for 25k or so and dumping it about two hrs later for 65k. All I need it the Ohtani now and I’ll have my collection and I’ve only used the whole Captain thing a couple of times with NL Buck O’Neil and recently in the July TN so I’ve just zero experience with it basically.
Man I just LOVED your post! Thank you!

I’ve been using Ripken’s boost since TA3 dropped. It’s very good, that +5 fielding helps a lot the players I have in secondaries. I’ll probably wildcard him for Season 4

I hope so. I bought 4 extras at an average of 40k during the flash sale...
The moral of the story... always buy during flash sales.

I doubt it goes back anywhere near 200k. People loaded up on them and with it being a set 2 card, many will not use it as a WC for set 4.

I bagged it for 38,001. Hope it does go back up.

No plans yet. I chose the Ryan card when i did the RS program. He's pretty solid for me, low 3 era decent for me online. Probably just save it, i haven't spent stubs on much this year for whatever reason

I’ve held tightly onto mine this year also! They’re just too hard to come by it feels like and my foist goal has been to get that dadjim Live collection finished and all in need it Ohtani and I’ll finally have my sweet, sweet Mark David and, consequently, Jeter. I can’t wait to give them the old college test drive!
Still, you’ve doubled your investment in less than a week and it didn’t require an association with Charles Ponzi…which is a huge win haha! Congratulations on whatever you decide to spend it on once the time comes partner!

I dig Sheffield as i like to run a lot of Braves. Set 1 chipper, Hank, acuna, Riley 1b, Murphy C. Can still make room for Mantle CF, JRam 3b, Ella at 2nd. Load the bench up with Braves for tier 3 and Albies and Arcia are good PH options. Harris for speed

What no Matt Olson??? jk
He hits the ball well but when he runs it looks like he’s in quicksand. That’s a great lineup.

Lol a role in which I bet he performs beautifully too. He sure is knocking the cover off the ball this year. Lol I’ll never forget that game (might’ve been last season even) where he got hosed twice at the plate he literally looked like he was running against the grain on one of those huge treadmills at the airport lol.
That’s a great team and I love how you were able to stay true to your fav team while still sprinkling in some choice weapons like that Jram. I’d like to get me a good high rated jram for thoid. -
