@Pergo_MLBTS Thanks … it even got better. Roger Clemens did a heck of a job winning his game. Next was Nando with a QS … next game was my ws game … my opponent dashboarded in the loading screen. That means: My ..experience brought me to world series, first time ever (I am a little bit proud
).Next update, when something siginficant happens
Do you have Rolen? How close are you; if you don't have him?
Not yet, I have 13 of the vouchers so far and I think there are at least 2 others that I could complete now if I wanted to, but I am just going to wait for some more cards to be released rather then locking in more expensive cards since I wouldn't be done yet anyway. My guess is I'll have Rolen in the next couple weeks.
EDIT: I just realized you weren't asking me...haha sorry.

Same here. No flipping. I rip only packs I get for playing the game. I lock in LS as I pull them, sell any dupes. I also sell most program cards I earn from those free packs or completing Diamond Quest. Basically you will pull every LS card at some point in the yearly game cycle of 6-9 months just from free packs. Now when you get those gate keepers could be early or late but keep playing and you will pull them. I did buy JRam and Soto shortly after release when I got enough stubs just because I wanted to use him from the get go. I have pulled Trout, Marte, Harper, and the other diamonds that go for more than QS. Currently missing 3 cards, Ohtani, Judge and Witt and my LS is finished, again just by playing the game. Now I am off a bit from Rolen but I really have not played much multiplayer yet and that is where the big reward are. But needless to say, if you are patient and not obsessed about your stub count or completing each collection the same day it drops you dont have to spend a dime and it does become more enjoyable.

exactly … I enjoy the game much much more this way. I uses Gold Santander for the whole 1st inning and P5ed him also.

I have 7 vouchers and I am sitting on 120K stubs, waiting for the next market crash to buy cards for the collection (Diamond Santander has to be on my squad :), he is gonna be next).
Maybe I will get some good pulls from the wheel to fill up my stub account to buy a lot of missing cards (TA and Spotlight seem like the most expensive for me, so I gotta wait them out). But I do not expect Rolen to be in my Lineup for the next 2-3 weeks.My lineup is pretty stacked rn, just my starting pitching could need some help (JohnDon maybe
?) but that requires another Negro League drop, because I do not want to buy Dihigo … Maybe there is a good crash for the next week-end-classics -
After some (a lot) of Diamond Quest grinding, a buy order for Judge has been submitted and I’ll have Clemens
-
Clemens is home!
Now, just roughly 1milly till Beltran
I REALLY want Beltran and Hodges, but good hitting first basemen are easy to come by and Bryan Reynolds exists as a watered down Beltran
I’m fine with being patient and waiting for a price tank to finish the NL
-
@YOSHI24_XBL Wait. You had 25M Stubs? when did they remove the 5M cap? I haven't had 5M in a couple years so didn't realize that cap was gone.
-
You just store the stubs in something. Like I had over 10 million in stubs stored in just the Barrier Breakers cards in 24 because you could buy hundreds of them for quick sell value. If I ever needed stubs, I could just quick sell them and get my stubs back (spoiler: I never needed stubs).
-
@RealPudgyPanda_MLBTS Ah I see. I getcha now.
-
@RealMessiah_XBL at one point in 24 I had like 20-30 500K buy-orders on Honus Wagner
and 200 dupes of various cards of high quick-sell value. At the end I bought packs off of it and had like 13K standard packs, 200 Chase … -
Quick little update …
I have close to 500K stubs … I just played the game and kept on selling everything.
I pulled a Witt and Skenes on my way …Collection-wise:
- I could easily have Rolen (but I am too stingy and waiting out the market to slow down)
- I completed the eggs and new threads program
- I am two cards away from completing the Moonshot-collection (3 mini season games to Gwynn to go, the other will probably be Candelario ) … but I would probably not play him with Hodges manning 1B and Rolen being my lock at 3B, so I will only buy him to complete the next big collection
- The main cards missing are spotlight and chase cards
Summary:
I learned a lot already doing this. I made world series without „the best cards“ (never did that before) and overall I have more fun doing the game without excessivly looking at the market and flipping the heck out of it (which is totally possible … but not fun overall).
I am really looking forward to the next TA wave and hopefully the next collection -

Just need Ohtani to finish Live Series. Worked my way up to 158k so still quite a ways to go

Everything the game gives me in DD except for BR (only for the first missions in the first week) … special focus on the TA and MP reward path where too many people complain without knowing

When you say thst you sell EVERYTHING; does that also mean the cards from the MP Program and then buy them back later?

For sure … Inning bosses … Jerseys … Bats … sounds … everything that has worth and/or is not used on my team I play with because that is dead money.
I explained it in the first couple of posts.Reading the forum and complaining I get the feeling that way too many ppl buy cards/packs they do not need and/or are too lazy to clean up their binder.
I would have gotten Beltran way earlier if I had played the launch week (I was on vacation) -
Flipping is a complete [censored] joke this year. Like most of the game, in general.

@YOSHI24_XBL I've finally got enough stubs to complete the LS collection, but I'm going to hold off for a bit to see if I can do it for a little cheaper...

great job, you did it
… How did you fare? New approach? -
great job, you did it
… How did you fare? New approach?Still no flipping , but I pulled Jeimer in an Eclipse pack and sold him. That 150k stubs got me to where I need to be.
