Extreme Acuna - Outfield Help
-
Genuine question - is the new Acuna worth the grind? I have an outfield of Milestone P3 Ohtani, Finest Trout and Finest Bellinger, with P4 Hank Aaron at 1B to keep him in the lineup too.
Is Acuna a material upgrade on any of those? Note: I like Bellinger for his left handedness to balance my lineup L-R-L-R as much as I can, so open to replacing him (HOF Musial?) but Acuna being an RHB I’d ideally only replace Trout or Aaron with.
Thank you!

(Also worth noting that regardless I’ll likely still grind for the card anyway, especially to get the Goldschmidt and DeGrom cards as I like them as players)
-
It depends on how you like their swings honestly. And there's also Mantle who is a switch hitter that can balance out your lineup better
-
FWIW, I normally don't hit well with Acuna cards, but I did the extreme moment with him and I could barely finish the stolen bases objective because he wouldn't stop hitting home runs.

"worth it" is subjective. Is for some, not for others. For me, it is for a couple reasons.
-
Its something to do and something to play for.
-
I like having options so i try to get as many cards as i can.

To be honest with you there are players that are better than that Acuna Card the only reason I will do the program is to have all the cards. I’ll take the 99 Juan Soto card any day of the week over the Acuna card. I just don’t like his swing and I hit so much better with Juan Soto
-
I also usually hit way better with lefties like Soto, Duran, and Mullins.
But I need to make room for Acuna. I've never hit better with any righty EVER. He's amazing.

I'm not a fan of his swing. but i still want him lol.

I do not play extreme moments well so I will not make much of an attempt to try it because I don’t think I’ll make it. That’s one thing I don’t like about extreme moments is that those of us that can’t do them have no chance of these cards.
-
@beatlesnews_PSN you don’t have to do moments or showdown to finish Extreme.

Not worth it unless you're always really good with acuna
I currently have

Dh babeWith Aaron, bellinger on the bench and today I got to mantle too. Obviously the thought would be to replace Carroll but I hit so good with him...
I'm not great with Aaron but I'm pretty much just platooning him now.
So acuna could maybe replace Aaron for me but not worth the time for me and I don't want to do mini seasons

@BJDUBBYAH_PSN Yeah, I finally saw that last night. I happen to look at the program and noticed I already had some points. And I realized what I had read about being able to get through the program without doing the moments was true. And last night after playing a game, I actually got to the first Chase pack. So thanks.
