10 minutes absolutely sounds like enough time to determine a card's viability.

And no one in my house cares. So, I bought the beach ball pack on the first day and pulled rare round. Nolan was selling for the most, so I just sold him because I didn’t necessarily want/need any of them at the time. I didn’t buy another because I didn’t want to push my luck. Went ahead and bought Gagne in the market.

Fast forward a couple days and I decide I want Hornsby. Keep getting outbid. I decide, screw it. I cancel the buy order and decide to try my luck at the second beach ball pack. I mean, what’s 20k stubs at this point if I miss and just have to sell the base round. Then I see those 3 rare beauties come up. Hornsby is mine for almost 60k less than I was going to buy him. I was pumped. It’s the little victories in life.

Anyway, wanted to tell someone and know you all would actually understand the excitement.

If you’re doing it every pitch, that’s an issue

For the sanity of your customer base, please make it so we don’t have to go out to the menu in multi-game moments. Please, please, please. I am begging. I’ll even buy some stubs if you want. Make this happen.

It happens in RTTS, so it is possible. Please do this in moments. Please. It is such a colossal waste of time to go back to the menu each time. It’s a no-brainer.

Please pass it on @Pat_SDS @SDS_Jax and whoever else I’m forgetting.

1. Servers make it tough, at times, to get on and stay on while playing DD.

2. Loadouts aren’t working properly and some progress is not tracking in RTTS

3. Downloading rosters is an issue to starting a franchise mode?

4. Servers dropping might invalidate your MTO run, making it a risky mode to play (if you want rewards).

5. If you play HRD, you start losing the chance to gain XP.

6. If you make it into DD and try showdown, the servers could possibly drop invalidating your run.

Oh, and it’s double XP time, but the double XP doesn’t actually get credited to your account.

Is this right?

I have one small request for showdown. If we only need to accomplish hitting stats (like the first one against Oswalt), don’t make us have to mindlessly pitch the innings too. Adds to the time if you’re just failing anyway.

As cool as Trout is, I won’t be chasing

I thought of one today. Let us filter when making event lineups. Say, I want to put in as many Brewers pitchers as I can. Let me filter for Brewers. Really, there are so many QOL things I can think of that would make a big difference in how I felt about the game.:

The ones mentioned above are good. Now that we can’t quicksell collected cards, it would be wonderful if there was an easier way to deal with duplicates. So many more things I could mention.

Here are the MLB prospect rankings for these future stars, guys getting 92-and-up juiced cards. (Correct me if I got the wrong guy or missed someone):

Diamondbacks: Alek Thomas, the team's No. 2 overall prospect and No. 49 overall in the top-100 prospects in the game (not bad, comparatively).

Orioles: Ryan Mountcastle, the team's No. 4 prospect and No. 94 in the top-100 (But this one didn't surprise me).

Cubs: Nico Hoerner, the team's top prospect and No. 51 overall (again, not bad comparatively, but still juiced).

White Sox: Nick Madrigal, team No. 4 and 40th overall. Dane Dunning, team No. 6 and not in top-100.

Astros: Jose Urquidy, team No. 2 and not in top 100.

Angels: Brandon Marsh, team No. 2 and No. 79 overall.

Mets: Andres Giminez, team No. 3 and No. 84 overall.

Yankees: Clarke Schmidt, team No. 2 and No. 88 overall.

Phillies: Alec Bohm, team's No. 1 and No. 30 overall. Adonis Medina, team's No. 5 (!) and not in top 100.

Padres: Taylor Trammell, team's No. 5 and No. 57 overall (good farm system).

Mariners: Evan White, team's No. 4 and No. 56 overall.

Cardinals: Nolan Gorman, team's No. 2 and No. 47 overall.

Blue Jays: Kevan Smith, team's No. 23 (!!!!) and not in top 100.

So, needless to say, I'm not sure how you justify these guys getting 90-plus cards. Again, it seems like the prospect rankings, while maybe a little generous, seemed pretty good. These future stars are just so out of whack.

On most of the team's, it seemed like they tried to go with guys that are closer to high minors and maybe appearing in MLB. Except guys like Gorman and Thomas were Single-A advanced players and a couple were Double-A.

I've often thought about this MLB Players league. That's a ton of free advertising for them. And then to see the players complain about issues is quite a sight.

For what? I'm done with all 5 TAs.

Exchange them in the common, bronze and silver exchange. That’s what I do with free agents.

How is the event playing for you? I can’t seem to hit much. Maybe I’m in a slump, but not sure what’s going on. Usually in events, my batting averages go up. Nothing but going down in this one. Of course, that means wins have been harder to come by than usual. How’s it going for you?

I also had the cursor go all the way to the right looking for a match and it sat there a minute while waiting. Strange.

Is it just me or is this event harder than other events to score?

Man, that climb from P4 to P5 is no joke.

I use a lot of different lineups and cards throughout the year, so I don’t have any P5s yet. Closest on deGrom and Chipper. But, man, it takes a while. I’ve got deGrom, Chipper, Jackie, Betts, Aaron, Mantle and now Piazza to P4. Think might change my lineups now to see how many P4s I can get before I’m done. (Not that the plus-1 rating means much, more a badge of honor).

What do you think is the best possible overall lineup you can put out? Not the best that you play with, per se. There are certainly some 95-99s that play above their attributes for people and some whose swings are hard to get done, etc. I’m talking maybe the best cards at each position based on ratings. Or maybe a best of best overall ranking? I pretty much have the top card of every player. I’m missing a few here and there and nothing I want to spend on.

Anyone feel like pitch accuracy is way off in this event? I’m an analog pitching holdover and it’s been fine for me this year. My accuracy in this event has been lacking. I can even concentrate so much on hitting my spot and it won’t go there. I don’t know. I did take some time off the game and even longer off online play, but I’m disappointed how I’m doing in this event, as opposed to the last couple I played.

For some reason, on the other stick, I’m also not getting a ton of movement on the PCI.

Maybe just a bad run for me lately.

A map with replayable rewards (RIB 2 please) that doesn’t have so much simulating to do.

So you’re mad they are flooding the market and keeping them for themselves?

I’d bring in a starter in relief, but I heard that’s illegal.
