Is Acuna worth keeping or should I sell him for 300k?
I like the card but like @X-FREEZE-OFF-X said if you need the stubs it’ll probably be back. Also, if you have the 2023 All Star card you can always stick to playing that one. I find they play similarly.
This also. You'll just have to Wild Card the AS one. So you won't get any credit towards TA 5 with that one.

I sold him figured I can get him back eventually when his price drops

The AS Acuna is better so if you have that I'd definitely entertain selling if you need the stubs.

I don't think it is better, but it's not a whole lot worse.

It absolutely is. Try subbing him in for the AS version so you can compare the stats between the 2. The AS is equal or higher on all but 2 stats I think. I guess some folks just assume if a card is released later in the game means it is better.
Go compare AR from the O's and Jram from the Guardians. Their AS cards are better than the Finest that just came out. Matt Olson and Sean Murphy too.

I've used both, I have better hitting stats with the milestone than all-star.

The opposite for me but I’ve batted much less with the 40/70 card so I don’t wanna compare my own stats. He could be better by the time he’s batted the same amount but he could continue to be worse.

Anecdotal evidence is much different than just looking at the ratings. Based on ratings as I stated earlier the AS Acuna is the better card.
Also, who knows what circumstances, opponents, game modes you've used each card in not to mention your skill level has likely increased over the season. When it comes down to it all that matters is if you enjoy using the card.

It also depends on which attributes you prefer. You can have a card with better hitting attributes, than the same player with a different card, but the latter may have better Vision.

MS Acuna is better than AS Acuna what are you talking about?
MS Acuna is 125/123 contact with 115/115 power vs left and right
AS Acuna is 125/125 contact and 102/115 power
MS Acuna also has higher vision 116 compared to AS Acuna’s 111 vision.
Their speed and fielding is pretty identical
Milestone Acuna has better hitting attributes which makes him better since everything else is pretty much equal

He has probably AS card parallel 5 and milestone card parallel 0 (but even then I would not say with so much confidence that AS card is better). This is so confusing because everyone can see that literally every single stat except for contact vs left 123/125 is same or better (by quite some margin) on milestone card. Even reactions 87/82 or speed 95/90. He is correct about the other cards J-Ram, Adley etc. but definitely wrong with Acuna. Or he is sneaky and he is trying to lower the price of milestone Acuna
-
The main difference is how the pitcher is pitching you when you have those different attributes. I haven’t adjusted yet while the other guy has adjusted. I’m sure given more than ~50 at bats I’ll adjust fine. I don’t have the at bats with the new card that I have with the set 3 card.
-
So I dug a little deeper and found out the misunderstanding/mistake on my part.
I am very well aware of paralleling cards but did not know that in the comparison charts for cards it actually lists the new attribute levels for whatever P-level you have the card at. I assumed it just gave you the in game boost.
I have a Braves theme team so as soon as I got the MS Acuna I went to compare him to the AS version. I have AS version at P4. That version compared to the base version of the MS is better.
Contact R is =
Contact L is +2 for AS
Power R is +1 for AS
Power L is +10 for AS
Vision is +1 for MS
Speed is +1 for MS
Stealing is =
Arm Strength is =
Arm Accuracy is +3 for AS
Fielding is +2 for AS
Reaction is +1 for MS
Blocking is +4 for ASNot trying to confuse anyone or manipulate the market as some have suggested in this thread. IN my defense I've been going through chemotherapy the past few months so my cognition isn't the best right now. In the end, what matters is using the cards that you want to use. I'm just a little disappointed that recent cards are equal or sometimes worse than versions released earlier this year. In the end though it really doesn't matter as there are much more important things in life.

I'm usually not a huge Acuna fan in MLBTS, but I used his MS card a lot in the current event. Love it. Like a lot of you, I struggle on inside fastballs, but had no issues with this card.
-
I’m still 215000 points away from getting the card lol I just lope I can get it before the dadjim time runs out
-
@NCStateHokie The All-Star Acuna card is better that than the 70/40 card in 1 area. Its +2 in contact vs lefties. All-Star card has decreased stats in 7 other catagories.
Do you have the All-Star card boosted and comparing it to non-boosted 40/70?

I hope you can get to him before time runs out. They’ll have double XP near the end of the season.

Chances are they'll put him out again in the last XP path.

@BxnnyMxn_
vs CPU on double XP while you're doing the next program. I hate to do it, but I'll use a high elevation park and hit 20+ HRs. 15K per game.

Thank you all so much for the encouragement I’ve been wanting this card since I first saw it. I looked and I don’t have the AS one either and I’d just hate to miss the chance to play ball with Acuña. Now I’ve got me some hope and I appreciate that tremendously.
I wonder though if I’m doing something wrong when it comes to these vs cpu games. Like you I get the the 20 homers , 30 runs etc but instead of the several thousand xp I used to get, it seems like I'm only getting a fraction of that. Is it because most of my team is free agents or does that only matter when grinding for TA? I feel like I should know this by now but I simply don't lol
Again I thank y’all!
PS @broken_toy1_PSN I’ve enjoyed reading your excellent posts of late and have missed them. I’ve missed a lot of people on here lately but I totally understand why everyone is gone esp with the forum being so dead. Just wanted to put that out there
