@fellspointguy The higher silvers, guys that had statistical anomalies for down seasons last year. Like I'd probably lean in to George Springer to have a bit of a bounce back if he starts as a high silver. Or golds like Nolan Arenado, Vladdy Jr who are too good to stay mid gold. Those kinds of guys.
Jazz Chisolm was an 85 Diamond all season - Don't think Vlad Jr is gonna smell gold this year.
-
Vlad's already
-
vlads gonna be a 94 ez
-
-Rip open preorders
-Regret pre-ordering after pulling 2 golds.
-Selling what I can.
-Create a Ballplayer
-do whatever starter Showdowns there are. -

I’m money spent. I know it’s frowned upon
Not frowned upon - "you do you"!

We never thought Sosa or McGwire would be in the game either. Maybe one day Barry changes his mind or gets nagged by a family member to give his rights up to SDS so he could be in the game. One could dream.
Sosa & McGwire didn't opt out of MLBPA licensing during their playing careers. Barry did.
I'm not a "Never Say Never" guy (unless the topic is Pete Rose), but it's hard to see a scenario in which Barry finally says 'yes' and joins the Legend Roster.
He was Reggie Stocker in this game not Jon Dowd. That was his fake MVP Baseball player.

I loved reading through all of this. There are some great ideas here. My journey will begin on Thursday at 9 pm, so I will get my snacks and Reign ready to go beforehand.
Here is my list:
- Open pre-order and Twitch packs
- See where I sit with LS collection, maybe buy a few cards if they aren't too much.
- Sell all dupe cards
- Fill out and revise spreadsheets for '24
- Do Storylines
-
I'll come on this forum to see how many folks are complaining and what they are complaining about.

For me:
1.) Take a look at the teams to see which teams only have golds or lower.
2.) Rip all of the pre-order packs to see if I get lucky and pick gold players from the free packs that correspond to a team with only golds or lower.
3.) Put my best lineup together and get working on the Conquest map. I like knocking that thing out early before the other game modes start bogging me down.
4.) Negro Leagues Storylines
5.) Derek Jeter Storyline- not buy
- check the forum
- read how everyone is feeling on it
- go about my day
- be happy i didn't waste my time or money on the new game

@GixxerRyder750 You're right, and I didn't mean to infer that he WOULD be, I was more suggesting guys who are like that generally too good to be gold for long. My bad for making about as clear as mud there.

That's a given. We should also start a pool to see when the first "I picked the same TA player twice" post hits. I'll go with Friday morning, 11:08 EST.
You would think the pre-orderers would know better, but... No.

- Curse myself for buying the game.
- Rip packs to work towards the LS collection.
- Curse myself for buying the game.
- Check out Franchise and be disgusted.
- Play some single-player DD.
Not buy and then check the forum -- really? Doomscrolling so you can post "Told ya so!"? If you really don't care, then just do 1, 4, and 5. It's more of a waste of time to not buy and then lurk -- just saying.

You can't. Only available on next gen consoles. He probably also gave a PS or Xbox account.
