Jeff Bagwell - Awards (94 mvp) - Astros

You can apologize later

So what about the 99 biggio?

@chaos-xx-theory_psn said in POTM Schwarber:

Has anyone used him in the outfield?

Until I see who they release for the July POTM; he seems like my best bet right now for LF.

I mean he is solid he will make the routine plays but don’t expect him to save a lot of runs

You have got to be shiiiitttttiiiing me!!! Fiction cards??? Won’t do this inning at all!

I really dislike prospect cards they should all be bronze at best till they prove them selfs

Their live series cards are bronze silver and gold…

Ugh. Talk about out of control recency bias.

SOOO many interesting legends that could be tapped. Hack Wilson, maybe? Dave Stewart? Hell, I'll take Kent Tekulve. Haven't bosses always been legends? Sigh...

Not a fan of this move.

No bosses haven’t always been legends.

Please tell me you won’t do the Mo collection bc that card has 5 pitches knowing irl he doesn’t throw 5. That’s fiction too!!

@dolenz_psn said in Early Reveal - Wander Franco is a 4th Inning Boss:

This is highly disappointing.

All of the legends that are available. All of the current players who could use some awesome flashbacks for performances they actually accomplished. But no, we get a made up card for a rookie currently batting .136

This card has no basis in reality. It's a completely fictional player you just stuck name and face to.

Next question..... What was the point of the moments to earn the prospect version of just last week when that card was going to be obsolete a few weeks later?

Lol this is a video game, the same one where you can create a player whose name is Mike Hawk with Barry Bonds hitting Rickey Henderson Speed and Nolan Arenado fielding. Barely halfway through the year, plenty more cards will be introduced into the game.
And the point was to have fun with a boosted card, just like they did with Tatis last year, nothing new. His call up was hyped and they did a good job of expressing that. And since it was loved so much by the community they did was any decent dev company would do, listened to their fans and gave them a card they wanted.

@jwkeep__psn said in Created player position problems:

It’s been happening at secondary positions since launch

I figured it had been, didn’t know if there was anything I could do. So annoying

This is why I grinded like 6 different diamond archetypes lol

So I keep my CAP pitcher in my bullpen just in case this ever happens. I load up into a game and see my opponent is starting his CAP. So I threw my first inning with Cabrera and then brought in mine. It was a pitching duel for sure. His CAP threw 5 innings 3 hits 1 walk 1 run 8 k. I threw my Cap for 6.1 innings striking out 16 no hits no walks. I had my solo run on a very late bloop that scored Soriano from second.
I think this is a viable tactic, I will keep my CAP in my bullpen and only bring him out when facing another CAP pitcher ️

There’s a thread somewhere here with all the positions. The CAPs get stupid lol.

Yea I realized I could look up all the old threads after posting this. Can I skip all the fielding BS to make it go quicker or will my guys defense be really bad if I don't field?

Nope you can skip it but you have to turn it off in the clubhouse go to settings on the right and turn it off. You can do it on baserunning too. Don’t sim them while in game or none of your stats will count.

Awesome appreciate it man. How long do you think it takes to get a diamond CAP? Really dreading this grind but might as well start while Online isnt working.

Probably a good 10-12 hours. Make sure you know how to track the archetypes and stat missions. But you come out with the best player in the game and you’ll get 2 diamond equipment and a diamond perk too and a lot of xp.

For sure yea its definitely worth it. Last question... For the bronze sparkplug missions it looks like not a lot of points playing RTTS after you get the 50 hits. Is it best to do some of the DD missions with it?

Depends on how you want to do the grind, you can get into each game, get to the pause screen and simulate and exit. This will keep track of your stats, and you will unlock the next tier in about an hour or so.
If you do this method be sure to NOT simulate from the actual simulation screen in game, this way does not track stats.
If you want to play your games out, I would probably mix in some DD online play as well bc that is going to be a long grind

@diddyklunk_psn said in Honus/Trout Collection:

Was this Rivera this year or is there going to be a second one?

There is going to be two more.

I don't watch any of the streams and I am not doubting you whatsoever. I'm curious did they say there will be two more or is that just speculation? I would love for there to be two more each one getting better so maybe the next one being Mickey Mantle and the last one being Hank Aaron or something but I bet you it will be Clemente and Aaron since they are dope both new Legends and big names that people have been asking for

So it wasn’t stated that there was going to be 2, just that there will be more collections later

So I have grinded all of TA1 and TA2, looking to complete the Mo collection.
But I still have yet to collect any of the legend 42 cards other than the one I got from pre order and the thank you from SDS.
Is there any other way to obtain these cards other than from the market?

I used my Cap pitcher for 1 inning on DD from the bullpen and I completed the game. I tried to jump into another RS game but the loadout selection screen no longer shows the option to choose my pitcher loadout. Is this a glitch that I can fix or does it only appear after so many games?

942, my hitting is atrocious but PPP is what I’m mostly relying on.

@halfbutt_psn said in PINPOINT pitching ruined this game:

I mean, if we are going to talk about realism, it is pretty rare to see nine innings of continuous dots on the edges in the MLB.

I mean that part really isn’t too hard to understand.
Take the new Cliff Lee for example. If a guy had thrown 6 shutouts in a season, you could understand how his control would be elite. As someone most of the time would need to have elite control irl with a little bit of luck to produce to that extent.

Why does it say I can use my cap at second base with secondary penalties but acts like he’s got a chain up his [censored] when trying to field a ball?

I made a thread on this on the DD section.
Make sure you have two load outs. On one, you have your maxed out diamond archetype whichever it is.
Then on your second loadout, equip which ever perk you want that your desired position is the first option available. ( Bronze Slick fielding - Catcher )

Before each DD game activate your second loadout from the loadout screen. When you load into a game, it will present an option to choose which loadout you want to use. This is where you select your diamond archetype while having your desired position active.

Idk who you are but I love you
That’s what I’m here for man, the people’s love 🥲

We shouldn't have to do this workaround though. Secondaries should just work if they are going to be listed.

Oh man I know, it’s a big pain in the [censored] but I would rather have this work around rather than nothing at all.

Question for you: When you play offline (conquest, for example), it doesn’t ask you which loadout you want to use, so I’m guessing what you’re saying applies to online play mostly, right?

Yeah exactly, I have two different team builds one for shortstop primary, and one for catcher primary just for this reason

@ccarr77_psn said in What day of the week is new content released?:

PS5 will be here next week. Just trying to get a plan going.

The new inning program drops on Friday, and Potm will probably be next Friday if I were to guess
