I thought you were going to share some new feature or aspect of the game which might convince me to buy it. So your favorite aspect of the game this year is a lucky pack pull? OK. Congrats.

There’s a massive difference between the old missions and new missions. New missions — you skip to your guy coming up to bat, it takes 5 minutes tops. Old missions — you had to do them over the course of a full 9-inning game, so it took forever. Didn’t get it done? Intentionally walk the CPU until the game is tied in the final inning and then pray you get the third out so that you can go to extras. Painful.

I think he gets it. If I’m playing against the Cardinals and my team is out of the race, I would definitely be leaving a few fastballs down the middle for him.

I blew through all the setup matches to Wagner and then he tied me up in knots. Fortunately I ram him out of energy and won with two outs remaining, but I didn’t enjoy facing him.

It has happened several times in MLB games in similar situations and is considered a heads-up play. There’s no rule that says you have to catch the ball.

I fare a lot better with pulse than with meter, personally. I’m never going to master pinpoint, but with pulse I hit my target more often than not.

I like the idea of some interesting cards beyond the classic baseball card layout or a player with lightning bolts (ooh, scary), but the Takashi cards are a little too far, too fast for me. I don’t even recognize some of the players at first glance. It’s like going from the Sims right to anime tentacle porn.

As an Orioles fan, I’ll make you a deal: never mention his name again, and I won’t bring up the Tatis-for-James Shields trade, OK?

I think you're right it was a player mission you had to get in a single gm. I thought it was like get 4 Hits in one gm & his card was absolutely .

Yeah, it was in a full game. The worst is when you had already finished Conquest and your other missions, so you were really only playing the game to get one guy up to the plate. That was torturous. Like trying to get two XBH in a game with 2018 J.P. Crawford. He pops up for an out, and now you’re staring down three meaningless innings, including having to pitch, until he’s back up again. No bueno.

I had some Internet issues where it went down, and I was still able to play MTO. (I didn’t try RTTS)
And yes, you got the rewards once your Internet connection was back.

I do believe the Daniel Nava moment from 18 is the all time worst. it was just brutal

Those old “moments” were absolutely brutal because it wasn’t a moment — you had to accomplish them in a full 9-inning game. So many games I had to walk the CPU with the bases loaded to even the score and (hopefully) artificially extend the game. I remember a few people rage quitting because they got three hits with Nava (which wasn’t easy), managed to get him up to bat again in the 9th, and the CPU pitcher hit him with the first pitch. Ha ha ha.

2k did it

And look where that got them.

This is my 10th year or so, as a 1000+ hour-per-year player, and I’ve never packed Trout. I bought one 50-pack this year and got nothing, but my luck in earned packs from programs and XP has been quite good this year by my standards. LS Judge (2x), Hader, Betts, Tim Anderson (x2), Sale (x2), Buehler, and a Peguero FS, and from a Headliners pack a 2nd Half Marte. But because of all that, I’m not dumb enough to try buying more packs. I know when I’ve gotten lucky.

I got him finishing the Nation Of Baseball map and collecting enough Prospects. But I also used that to meet some Program goals with certain teams / hitters / pitchers, so it worked on several levels.

I have the top guys on five NL teams left, that’s it. If you really want to finish collecting LS, sell off whatever non-LS cards you don’t need, or do some programs like Monthly Awards to get more sellable cards Plus when you complete collecting divisions/leagues, you get some stubs back, which can also help.

I always turn it off the moment I fire up the game each year. For every time it helps me, it hurts me, and often I misplay a ball expecting a fielder to be in a certain position (and he’s not), which usually results in extra bases.

@virusts_xbl said in When the said Double Login rewards…:

Has anyone ever gotten a diamond? Is it possible? The best I've done was get Goldschmidt the day before he hit diamond.

Yeah, it can happen. I think I pulled two low-level LS diamonds, a Classic Stadium, and some diamond equipment. But it’s rare.

You started a thread for someone and couldn’t even spell their name correctly?
