Depends on what I see in the DD stream this Thursday.
But yeah, opening packs and setting up my team would be the first things I do.
-
Probably verify I got all my pre order bonuses. Open any packs. Set up my game settings. Set up my team name and uniforms. Then hop into some conquest.
-
12:01 anxiously load up predownloaded game
12:02 read entire terms and condition before pressing accept.ONE HOUR LATER.....
1:03 complain on the forum I didn’t get all my pre order entitlements.
1:04 annoyingly forced to make team uniforms and name
1:05 finally realize I was in the wrong screen and get all my packs.
1:06 Drum roll please......PULL MIKE TROUT
1:07 start conquestFYI I didn’t not alter my uniforms at all last year. I was default all year
-
Open DD
Go through the stupid tutorial
Open pre order packs and sell everything I get from them besides diamonds
Do as much grinding as possible (TA1, 1st Inning Program) to get as much packs as possible
Start flipping.Not playing online until I at least have a pretty good team.

I will be here on the East Coast, logging in at 12:00:01 a.m. Friday. Here's what I'm doing:
- At 3:00 a.m. when I head down to bed, have a good excuse ready for the wifey. When she groggily says "What have you been doing? Playing that stupid game?", I will say "No, I was searching the internet for tasteful photos of Anne Hathaway". She can't possibly be mad at me. I mean, Anne is slightly attractive and has won an Oscar. Classy. My wife is a fan. It's not like I'm searching for Selma Hayek - if I was, she'd be furious.
This gives me an idea. I wonder if I can make a CAP that looks like Anne so I can combine my two favorite things.
-
- Navigate menus
- Turn OFF The Show. Music soundtrack
3). Safety Orange uniforms to start with
4). Open preorder standard packs - sell duplicates
6). Look at rewards in Team Affinity and Xp reward path to map out the rough draft of my 1st gold/diamond squad
7). Open preorder choice packs and fill holes as necessary
8). Buy orders for a few budget beasts to round out conquest squad and will look nice on my bench in a day or two
9). Complete at least 2 conquest maps - sleep
-
Open packs, do TA and conquest, probably play some events before the servers [censored] out on the 4th.

- Watch the opening video for the first and last time all year.
- Spend a few minutes figuring out the navigation of the menus. I think I just jumped in last year and didn't pay attention. Focus!
- Rip open my packs. Sell any Bronze/Silver/Gold LS cards that are overpriced.
- Work through Conquest and Moments to earn more free stuff. Start earning FotF cards, whatever that entails.
- Do NOT play online yet.

I get to start at 9pm and the wifey is all prepared to wake up in the morning to find me still playing. If I’m bored enough to do internet searches of girls born three years after I graduated HS, then it’ll be time for bed.

We may be married to sisters ....lol

I told my wife like that classic Married With Children episode when Al goes on Vacation in his Living Room and ignores his family, I am on vacation all weekend , so instead of watching soft core pornos like Al, I will be playing MLB 2022.
-
I will be logging in at around 12:20-12:30 when I get home from work.
I will log onto Drsteinmans stream
I will bring up the mlb community discord I'm in
I will open packs.Then I will be a deer in the headlights finding out what to do.
Also Anne Hathaway? What about Anna Kendrick, how would your wife feel about that?

Re: "Anna Kendrick"... my wife knows I have a thing for Anna, so I can't. However, watching "Interstellar" with my wife a few years ago, I kept saying "Why did she do that to her hair?". So, I'm safe with Anne Hathaway.

I forgot about that. That's the best part of opening night. I usually have my attorney present.

Great idea. To give you a leg up, I'm pretty sure the most accurate hairstyle is "Parted Side". Actually, I'm looking at it right now on MLB21. It's 100% accurate.

This all depends on what time the game goes live.
If 9PM PST- Spend a while surfing through the menus, collections, programs and really map out what's available
9:30PM- Open Packs
9:45PM- build squad and start playing some 9 inning games just to get a feel for the gameplay to see if anything has changed.If 12AM PST- email my boss that I'm suddenly feeling a cold coming on
12:05AM PST- See aboveI met Anna Kendrick before she was famous, my buddy Vince was in her first movie Camp. If you have 90 minutes you wish to never see again and don't mind terrible cinema with Danny Devito as director, check this out. She sat in front of me at the premiere and I thought, she's kinda cute. But never made an introduction. I will forever regret not being shot down by Anna.
-
Don't forget to set your settings and camera's!
-
- Open game look at stuff (on switch)
- Packs
- Go to bed as I'm in the office the next day but good news so is DD cause it's on switch

You forgot the fact that you will have to play a 9 inning game as the Braves while the game loads.

I hope she's warming up in the bullpen because I would love to hit that.
