What is the VERY FIRST THING you do when you load MLB 21?
-
0.5) Play through annoying intro game while it loads --- probably popping 2-5 trophies during that game.
- Claim pre-order bonuses
- Hop into DD and create team/quick creation of uni's (I do very simple stuff with logos because I dont care to waste that kind of time)
- Rip pre-order packs, check out launch day programs, etc and quick look at market/LS collections (who are diamonds, golds, etc) and try to figure out if there are any decent investment opportunities (be a bit different launching 2 weeks into the season this year)
- Start with conquest tutorial map -- give new pitching mechanics a shot to see if i can figure out how to use it. also start to get timing back with hitting.
- Start the big USA conquest map for free stuff (and more practice)
Maybe hop into a ranked game or 2 with a starter squad for fun.

- Go into create a stadium
- See if I can create a section for PS4 users to sit directly behind poles so they can't get a full view of the field
If I can get my PS5 by 4/16, I am 100% for this.

I’m probably going to rip a few hundred packs to start getting collections done and play BR to get some of the higher end cards for collections.
So, you're not going to sell off any high inflated players and just wait to buy them back?

First thing i am gonna do is tell my kids a week ahead of time that it is, Mandatory National Study for School Weekend, then i'm locking the door. They ask for food tell them to go study home economics!

I probably should. I felt like last time I did it this way it took way longer to do the collections because now you have to wait for stub prices to go down to finish the collections. I’m probably going to see how the market looks. But if I can really do well in DD and I can get a few 12-0s and if the Diamond cards are at 9 wins — I might just try to really complete as much as I can.
I know it’s kinda stupid to do it this way but I want those collection rewards ASAP this season.

Yeah. If you're going to play online; it makes sense to get them done ASAP.
I'm going to be strictly offline this year, except maybe for Events, so whether I get them give ASAP or later; it won't matter to me.
Only things that may factor into my decision is how easy it is to make stubs, how they gave it set up to get bosses (if they still have them(, and if Aaron is the LS Reward with Clemente and whomever they pick for the AL; how long the market stays inflated.

No in all seriousness. I usually start off going to store claim rewards for pre-order (that's a gimme for every1 i imagine). I then take a look at all the rewards available, Free 1rst BR Entry, Free 1rst Showdown entry (If still there) Conquest, 1rst inning program, player programs if any, Moments, xp path, and then TA and then map out how rewards will help in the next game i decide to play. Based off of lineups i made from pre-order packs.
If servers are down then it will be toss up between RTTS or MTO maybe tinker in BP Just to get the feel of the bat and pitching.
but i think it will be fine. -
Anyone else thinking the create-a-stadium feature will get stale fast? The one thing that made it fun in MVP 05 was having to start modest, add seating while winning to increase the budget and so on? Now that I’ve moved online pretty much permanently, I don’t see it as game selling. Franchise, sure ok.
-
Spend way to much time deciding which TA to complete first and then fall asleep after the first game because I took way to long to decide.

SDS has continued to make mention of "stadium kits". I'm taking that to mean not every stadium piece will be unlocked when you first open it up and you have to earn the right to use certain parts (like statues, decorations, alien cities) via XP, Programs, etc.

Go to options/settings menu and fix everything to how I like it.

Picking up Matt Olson and Joey Gallo and hopping onto ranked seasons.

That's what i got from it as well! Just wondering if they will be on the market or just certain areas to unlock them?
