Not Aaron. At least, not yet. Been on record for a while.

I'm going Mantle on this one, Aaron on the next one

Man I hope so. If it's Albert pujols I'm going to pass. I'll sell all the cards and buy them back in a few weeks when things die down. We have to many corner players

To me the whole position thing doesn't matter since there's only 9 positions out there. I personally do think it will be Aaron but I wouldn't be surprised to see it be Clemente either which definitely would be the more underwhelming choice. I feel Griffey will be more of the Ruth program pick for this year.

They just dropped at 96 Griffey in a HL pack. No way they give us the 99 so early after that.
I hope you are right but I just don't see it
I mean, I get where you’re coming from, but that was a month ago.

Mays, Mantle, or Trout would be fine by me. I just want a CFer.
I hope it’s not Babe. I think that’s the only reasonable card that could disappoint me.

Imo based on positions it should be a C, SS or CF. They already have these:
C - No current 99s
1B - 99 Ortiz, HRD Fielder, HRD Vlad Jr., Murray, Alonso
2B - 99 Robinson already and Morgan just released
SS - 99 Franco but SS overall is pretty weak
3B - 99 Chipper already
LF - 99 Soriano already and recently 99 Kiner
CF - No current 99s
RF- 99 Walker, Acuna and Vlad and Harper recently releasedSP - Blue, Mathewson, Ryan, Ohtani, Peralta, DeGrom all 99s.
RP - It won't be a RP because they already did RiveraPiazza? Griffey? Tatis? Who knows. Just my two cents. I don't think it's Aaron right now for sure. I'd love Jeter but that's wishful thinking and I don't think they'd release another Yankee with already having Rivera. Honestly I think it will be Tatis Jr. To only have one Tatis card up until now and he's the cover boy, I'd put my money on him.

I'm kind of hopping it's the 99 Trout from last year, but that's very doubtful
-
What about Babe Ruth?

It's possible but I think he will be an inning boss this year
-
I know a lot of people say Clemente would be underwhelming but since he's the player I most admire in the history of baseball I would be thrilled.
Unfortunately it sounds like using him would be kind of like when I use MJ/Kobe in 2K. They'll never be meta or OP but I still "force" them into my lineup for nostalgia reasons.

I think one of the new legends like Pedro or Aaron will be during the conquest extreme program.

Would love Mantle too.

How hard is conquest extreme? Is it as hard as winning 12 on Br?

Yeah catcher is what I need most by far. Especially one that can hit righties. I actually still use Zunino because he destroys lefties and holds his own against righties for me. But an upgrade is certainly needed.

I’m not sure. I’ve never done either, by the time extremes came out I didn’t need any of those cards so I decided to skip.

It's a Good challenge, you will pretty much live at all star but it requires allt of planning and weight risk vs reward for Sim game. You could sim a game but loose alot of reinforce which could force a game on hall of fame or legend.

Last year it was very long and pretty difficult. Many of the missions were "capture certain territory in a certain amount of turns" and you had to go basically an exact route and end up playing games on HOF mainly to complete.

Its tough and grindy. I think 12-0 is probably harder because of online h2h.
Generally conquest extreme requires you to play like every game because losing even 1 fan during a sim is the end of your run and you're playing everything on Legend. Losing any games also is a run killer. While tough, you can at least use your god squad.
I dont think I've ever finished conquest extreme but I find it more "do-able" than going 12-0 personally.
