It’s not coming until tomorrow morning. They said it on the stream today.

If they've changed the SC as they did last year, the programming probably wouldn't be compatible. Yeah, I'd love to carry some over, but I think I can replicate a couple of them.

I managed to get Rollins finally, but given the price of the cards I'd need to get Mantle, I gave up on that. I hope there's some kind of limit on prices in 23 that doesn't make getting these cards impossible. Having a lot of cards attainable only through BR and Events is really unfair if you don't play them that much or at all. The rewards should be attainable no matter how you play, not just through one specific avenue.
Buy them earlier. All the Bronze, Silver, and Gold BR rewards were at or around quick sale value UNTIL Brett dropped.
If you invest in these cards early; they will practically pay for the others.
Before the Forever Event dropped, the Silver Mathews, Britton, etc were all under 100 stubs each.
If you bought 50 of them, even at 100 stubs each and sat on them until Brett came out, or even longer, you made a killing when you sold them off.
That assumes you want to play the market. I don't like to and didn't much last year. Why should playing the market be necessary?

@thinkbluedgr_PSN said in Pinpoint:
I was wondering if pinpoint is worth learning. But from this post it seems like it is no better than analog. And I'm cool with that because I like analog and don't want to learn pinpoint. And to op, if pitching was perfect it would be very difficult to hit in this game. And that aint no fun.
My goal this past season was to learn it because I was in an online league. I forced myself to learn it and really found you have better aim than with analog as long as you do it right. The big thing was trying to learn it. The best help is the various YouTube videos and not in the game. The game doesn't really explain it at all. I'm not great at it, but at least I can do it. I've seen some guys who really can pinpoint their pitches. It takes some practice to nail it down as good as they do. I did find my competition level rose with pinpoint, if that says anything.
-
I've written about this before, but I'm going to say it again ... please no showdowns like the Finest showdown where the game had six steps and they weren't easy. That really burned me to the point where I really soured on the game after enjoying it so much.
And please take off the buy-ins. They really become an issue, especially early on when you may not have that many stubs.
-
There should have been an alternative to getting those last Finest cards besides the Showdown. That was something I hope isn't repeated this year. Or least made a little easier. A 6-0 showdown finish is really ridiculous. If you have to have showdowns, maybe split it in half and make 2 3-0 showdowns.

And be sure to add it to your cover athletes collection for a free 5,000 stubs.
Of course, some people were already selling it this a.m. Sheesh.

I’m sure there will be 10 twitch / YouTube streams to come that will promise pack drops and won’t.
Did you get your free Jazz 99 card yet? It's in your inventory.
-
Jazz makes a ton of sense. He's intense and he gets noticed. A good choice, really.
Congrats, Jazz.

@xd_Tghhd_PSN said in Jazz Chisholm:
Will Jazz Chisholm be getting a finest card now that he’s the cover athlete
He has a 99 overall Topps Now in the shop for Free right now.
Yup. Got mine this a.m.
-
There is, however, a free Jazz 99 card pack in your inventory. I found mine this a.m.
-
So apparently there will be twitch packs linked to MLB 23 if you watch the cover reveal stream on Monday. My question is if your account is already linked do you need to link it again? I’m guessing you don’t.
-
Anyone else having problems? We’ve been trying for a half hour to connect and I have been unable to. I’m hoping it’s the system and not me.
-
I originally was going to try for Rollins then maybe Mantle, but I gave up. The prices are too high and fighting the market was just too stressful. I did get Ohtani99, though, which I thought was a nice substitute even though I had to pay though the nose to do it. That's it, though. Not going for Rollings or Mantle. I'd have loved Rollins, but the cost is just too much and I refuse to spend money on them.
-
If I've paused, it's always to go to the bullpen. Or make an emergency run to the restroom. So it could be either of those.

@beatlesnews_PSN said in My humble wish list for MLB 23:
- No more beaning of pitchers by batted balls. It seems to have died off, but last year and earlier I had several of those. I remember one where the pitcher was writhing on the ground in pain. That's not necessary.
I just had one last month where I hit the pitcher right between the eyes. It happens in this game a lot more than in real life.
On the other end, they need to something about how much the CPU pitchers bean hitters. It’s ridiculous how often it happens. If a gamer were to do it as often as the CPU, they’d go through all of their pitchers in one game because they’d keep getting ejected.
- Put a price limit on every card, especially the older cards that have been replaced by higher rated ones. Having cards under 90 with exorbitant prices is unnecessary and hurting the game. And it makes getting cards like Mantle 99 and Ohtani 99 impossible for some of us. If the goal is to play this game, should all the cards be reasonably available? We don't all have 5 million stubs all year.
I suggested this last year and got scoffed. You’d think if SDS wanted gamers to buy stubs, they’d quit making it so easy to flip the lower end cards.
- Slow down the content a little bit. I loved all the content this year, but who has time to explore the other parts of the game with continual bombarding of content?
- Stop charging buy-ins for showdowns. At the beginning of the season when stubs are at a premium, especially, it makes it difficult and exceptionally stressful. It shouldn't be that way. But it just not good even now. So please end that.
Please, please, and please! The rewards aren’t that great, so there is no reason to have an entry fee. There are better rewards in conquest games.
In addition, please add a link to download a .csv file of our “owned” cards in the inventory.
I’d love to see a list of my parallels. That would be soooooo useful.

I do love this game. I bought it on pre-order and I've played every day with only illness taking me away from it for a day. Thanks, SDS, for all you do.

The guy is a piece of trash and has no remorse for what he did so it’s just a matter of time before he gets in trouble again. Any team would be stupid to give him any sort of multi year deal.
Mets entered the chat
Except the Mets aren’t handing out stupid contracts. Their is a method to their madness.
Throwing 350 million at a player who cant pass a physical isn’t handing out stupid contracts?
Considering they are doing their due dilligence on the physical and will probably have an insurance policy in the contract no it is not. They also have a bunch of money coming off the books after 2 years in regards to their payroll so feel free to actually look into their spending before going “big number bad”
It’s “big number bad” and a stupid contract because its 12 years 350 million for a player who can’t pass a physical and is required to have an insurance policy put into his contract. I don’t care if hes the only contract on the books in 2 years its still stupid spending.
Got it, it’s just the big number. Luckily it’s not your money or mine, I think Steve Cohen will be fine.
At least from a PR perspective, Steve could be in for a rough time ahead. NY fans and the NY media don’t shy away from their opinions. Every time Correa goes on the IL for the entirety of that contract, the fans and press are going to let him have it.
Correa already has a bit of a “stink” attached to him from the Astros scandal, not to mention how he handled the Minnesota contract. I’m a Sox fan so I couldn’t care less about the Twins’ feelings, but even I thought he was classless. After saying multiple times throughout the season that he didn’t intend to opt out (which everyone knew was a lie), he made a very selfish showing in the last month of the season by saying the Twins just needed to pay him more.
"When I go to the mall and I go to the Dior store and I want something, I get it. I ask how much it costs and I buy it," he told reporters. "So if you really want something, you just go get it. I'm the product here, so if they want my product, they just gotta come get it."
Again, that quote was BEFORE he opted out and there was still a few weeks of baseball left. No class whatsoever.
Enjoy your new shortstop, New York. Lol. Good luck to everyone.
I’m not saying Correa is a great guy but definitely a good player. Also even with the reports about the medical issues and everything I’ve seen and heard nothing but love for this move from other Mets fans. Also he will be playing 3rd base not shortstop. To be clear I’m not trying to imply there is no risk in this deal, I was just trying to say it was ignorant for the guy to say the Mets are giving out dumb contracts when the Correa one is the only one they gave out you could even argue for not being good.
Defend the Mets all you want, but you know that Giants fans were angry to the hilt right after the word came that we lost him. Not so much now. I thought it a little suspicious that Boras ran a little so quickly to the Mets and now we know why. If the Mets sign Correas, his entire contract will be a pins-and-needles affair for the team and their fans. His rep is tarnished.
