This Live Series Event got me and a buddy thinking. Wouldn't it be sick if there was a Live Series Only mode. Like a ranked season but only live series players. Lineups would be mostly diamond but at least there would be some variability instead of every team having the 99 rated players.
I know it’s been discussed but what is your ranking of favorite/best TA 3 pitchers for those that have them?
I have Orel and think he’s one of the best if not the best starter in the game. I haven’t used any other TA 3 pitchers but am interested in going after one.
@eatyum said in New Snell Card?:
I'd imagine so, though it's kinda sad that he already has a diamond, was rooting for someone who didn't have one
Yea I hear you. But I am down to have a high diamond leftie.
@Harrisville318 said in Live Series Event Thought..:
It's just a shame that the majority of live series players were obsolete after week1 because of the fof cards.
Yea I agree. It would bring back some value to the live series cards
@jonnydaman said in Can someone provide an honest and detailed explanation for lag in MLB parks?:
I've heard for a while MLB parks cause lag both on here and by messages in-game. I've played DD regularly since our whole teams were fake players (I actually didn't hate that but that's another topic), we could play with a DH, and set lineups vs LHP and RHP, so I have put way more time into this game than I should have over the years. While I'm not saying I don't believe everyone that MLB parks cause lag, I've played plenty of games in MLB and MiLB parks but I honestly can't tell the difference. It's possible that I can't tell the difference because I don't know what to look for, so maybe if someone could point me in the right direction I could see what so many people are talking about.

I’m with you man. I hear it all time but I don’t notice it. I also don’t know what to look for though

Great info. You don’t have to list all 40, but of the popular swings that you have heard, who have you tested? I’ve heard a lot about how chipper has a good swing. I use Kenny lofton. Mondesi is popular. Brian Roberts swing was nice for me early on. Tony Gwynn. Didi’s swing is very quick. I like Deitrich’s too. I’m sure there is more, but of those guys and any other popular swings did you test any?
Sheffield, Blackmon, and Dietrich

@SurfinSantaCruz said in Point of these Topps Now cards: Noticed a lot of the topps now cards are Overpowered. What is the point of these cards if they make all the other cards from the past less valuable. The Bo Bichette topps nowcard is going to be better than any legend card. is there suppose to be any strategy w/ these topps now cards? These cards are way more make believe than the Future Stars everyone whined about. In hindsight, I loved the FS series even more now that when I hear x team is calling up their top prospect, it's someone I'm familiar with.

How can you say that? These cards are based off a performance or performances. Future Stars are based off projections. How are Future Stars more believable?
@eatyum said in Ranking TA Pitchers:
Orel def #1 Marichal has been a workhorse in this event for me, 18-6 3.10 ERA in 40.2 innings. Def think he's underrated. Leiter has been decent so far, but small sample size Smoltz and Palmer I'm not a fan of

Any feedback on wood?

I like Deitrich’s too. I’m sure there is more, but of those guys and any other popular swings did you test any? First, I know I need to test Mondesi, but I kind of just didn't want to. He rakes but I also wanted more loft than I feel he gets. I'll do him next. The other guys I considered except Brian Roberts, and I'll throw them all in. I was hoping to try to find guys who seem to have a natural launch angle without being popup-prone. I went dumpster diving for you, and found a list with half my notes. The rest are probably lying around here somewhere. From these notes, I did: Moncada, Buxton, Moustakas, Jones '08, Canha, Haniger, Hicks, Pederson, Suarez, La Stella, E. Davis, Brett, Alonso, Blackmon, T. Williams I'll try to add more later. If I recall, these were the guys I picked first because I went through my stats and looked for outliers. After this batch, I started just going through the lists (Legends, Current Players), and throwing in guys who've been known to seem glitchy this year, or in the recent past if their card isn't out yet this year.

Solid list. Great info. Another person that may fit your criteria with more lift in his swing and seemed kind of glitchy early on was Muncy. Looking forward to seeing future results!
Where can I find my progress on Reggie Jackson prestige? I see all the progress for every player except Reggie. Is there somewhere else to look?
At what ranking do games go from all star difficulty to hall of fame difficulty?
What are the big differences? Does pitching get better.
That makes sense, thanks guy
Will Mickey be apart of the Honus collection? If not, should I go for Mickey or hold on to my stubs and wait to see what the collection is? I have the big guys in the AL to get and have around 250k stubs.
