Tim Raines is the best, just because Expos cards are cool
He currently has 20+ steals in my extreve miniseason because the second someone singles with 0 or 1 outs I pinch run him and steal 2nd and 3rd, so may 1 run games for me in extreme.
I don't have that card. I have a somewhat limited selection so I just listed the ones that I chose.
Begs the question whether one 99 Speed, 99 Steal, 99 BR AGG is actually any better than any other with the same stats?
I'm not sure there is a difference
I also try not to steal 3rd against catchers with pop time, but even that usually doesnt matter on All Star and below. -

tap L2 right before the pitch is released i assume ?
Make sure, if you have a runner on third and first, you push up on the joystick to select 'Steal 2nd'. Because if you dont; the runnet on third will try to steal home and get tagged out.

@dbub_PSN You got to 42 points without showdown? How?
-
Does anyone who completed the showdown have a comment about how it was? I’d like to hear a comment or two before I try it. Thank you.
-
I completed it on my main account and it was score 4 runs before making 25 outs against carrasco, score 2 runs against Smotlz, score 6 runs with runners on 1st and 3rd then 3 runs against Sutton and Lee Smith your only down by 1 run. They're all on veteran difficulty but definitely try to get speed guys

Its a showdown.
none of the pitchers were problematic but most of them were 2-3 more runs than they needed to be for only 5 stars of program progress.

@sbchamps17_NSW Thanks

Im not on my console now but I thought it was 42 or whatever 3 less than getting to Baez is.
-
I did however struggle with Lee Smith because of his 102 mph fastball

To be fair I wanted it over as fast as possible so I just got those two runs via bunt cheese
-
Highest u can get without the showdown is 42 because Báez is 45 and the extra 3 points to get to 45 are Báez pxp without the showdown
-
Anyone guess what this is yet?

Ok got it. But none of that changes my original point that for now, yes the Showdown is mandatory.
Edit - I was dead on right. I have 42 points without the Showdown and Baez goal. Not sure what you're looking at. I have 1 extra point from the Cruz collection, if that's what's confusing.

This. I'm in no hurry to complete the program; so I'm going to wait until thr last day to see if the Showdown is actually needed. 5pts is chicken feed and ridiculous.
-
And...that's why I hate Showdown. I was already up to Carrasco, accidentally hit a button on my remote and "disconnected from the show online". And moment counted as a defeat.
Im going to hope they're will be other ways to get those 5 points later on.
-
@dbub_PSN yeah, I really wish they hadn’t done this. Making the showdown mandatory really limits your options. It takes a lot of the fun out for me.

Is anyone having issues stealing bases vs CPU? On PS5, as soon as I hit L2 the opposing pitcher immediately steps off the bag and I get in a rundown (luckily, the CPU AI sucks so I get back). Normally, I hit L2 and the runner starts to go when the pitcher motions to the plate.
This has never happened to me unless I hit L1 once for a bigger leadoff (which I'm not). I do have a new controller though so maybe that's it?
