Community Forum

Thanks to everyone in this forum, I’ve gotten better, learned how to work the stubs (FINALLY got Mantle and Trout yesterday), and found a community that has genuinely good people in it helping others out. As a Dad who doesn’t get much time, I couldn’t have done it without your help.

This game is just like my golf game. I don’t play enough to get good, but have one really good swing that makes me come back.

Thanks again to everyone. I’ll be online striking out with Trout and Mantle now thanks to you! Cheers!

I am an older dad who loves playing the show. I’ve been playing literally forever and I started back when RBI baseball and bases loaded we’re groundbreaking games On my Nintendo.

Are used to buy every single baseball game that came out every year and we compare them all and pick my favorite one. Do you think we have glitches now? Imagine having baseball players come up left-handed but have them be in the right handed box facing the wrong way. Then when you tried to take it back to the store they would not give you your money back!

Anyway, I am a closet player. I’m actually embarrassed to tell people I play so I never have anyone to share accomplishes with.

So all that said, are there any dads like me out there?

Thanks SDS for giving us something different this year. This forum is full of people complaining over a video game that is truly elite. You deserve a compliment!

I'm so grateful that I get to spend more time with my family, have more time to work on things around the house, can invest more energy into my job, and pick up new hobbies. I am saving real money not buying stubs (I used to be "money spent" and now I'm NMS just like the cool kids aka YouTubers). If it wasn't for the lousy content, I would be playing the game endlessly.

Thanks for giving me my life back - cheers!

I would definitely be in on an over 40 league. I would probably still suck but at least it would be fun as hell knowing that when someone pauses the game, they’re not being jerks, they’re just yelling at their kids hahaha

Not used 2 the amount of content coming over from madden ultimate team. Should I do yard work today or play (how do I hide from the wife)

My wife went shopping and to lunch with her friends , I grinded like a beast lol

Lol. I lucked out for an hour as she goes for her run

Pro tip: Run a bath for her while she’s out running. Now you have two hours to play and you scored a point that you can redeem later tonight

Pro tip 2: When she comes back down from her bath, make sure you’re not playing. Then ask her nicely if she minds if you get a quick hour in to play. Most likely she will say yes and now you have three hours.

RicksterGhost. Entertainment value is huge.

But Cbrev for my vote.

What is the difference between 30k and 40k pack?

10k

I joined the event thinking this was my chance to win a few games and have some fun. Nope. I got slaughtered all day yesterday as a casual player against WS, 100 Prestige, top 50 type players. I couldn’t even get lucky. You guys are ridiculously good at this game.

Shout out to one of you who despite kicking my rear, threw meatball after meatball to Joe Morgan to help me with the mission. Of course I fouled off 11 or so pitches before I just took the K like a man. Appreciate the good people who play.

Just out of curiosity, I wonder why historically sports teams looked at the Native Americans, who we basically stole the land from, and said, hey, why don’t we name our sports teams after them? While we’re at it, let’s use some disparaging names (Washington) and invent some fake traditions like a tomahawk chant?

Look, I’m an old guy who loved watching the Redskins and thought the tomahawk chant was the coolest thing to watch in the 90’s in Atlanta, so I’m a hypocrite. That doesn’t mean I can’t look now and go, wow, that is sort of wrong when you think about it. I hate that they are changing things like the Indians name, but I also understand it.

Just my thoughts that no one asked for.

Sounds like strategy to me. If he can make that happen, well played.

I was kidding because he pitched FOREVER in the MLB.

Definitely will never see Wetteland. Google him and you’ll see what a disgrace of a human he is.

I think you summarized well what the entire forum has been saying all year.

I do about 10 minutes of work, then check the forum, refresh my coffee, check Twitter, check CNN, think about who I can buy with stubs, go to the bathroom, and repeat for about 8 hours.

I get it guys. I was more frustrated this morning. We're all right in our own ways. I'm just watching opportunity go by the wayside for everyone, not just me. A lot of good points made here in the responses. Have an awesome day.

This is the best information I’ve seen. I really appreciate all the work you put into this.

Yo bro where can I send your participation ribbon?

Please send it to my house as I’m collecting them! My wife gave me one for putting on my underwear right side out and one for not eating the dog’s food. That was just today!

Kenny Lofton of all people cannot be stopped in my lineup.

I had him when he was high $200k - sold him because I thought his price would drop with all the outfielders in the game.

This is why I stay away from stocks.

So I was getting bored lately with the event being [censored], having every player I want, and not being good enough for WS or BR rewards. So I came up with my own way to have fun over the holidays:

1. I created the max 4 squads allowed
2. I put the best player available (primary or secondary) at each position
3. No player can be on more than one squad
4. I took the next best available players for my benches, as ranked by the computer
5. I adjusted slightly only to ensure a balance of right/left/switch
6. Pitchers I did the same way

I’m going to play 5 RS season games with each team. The players who perform the best form an “All Star” squad that I’ll run with for 5 games.

At that point, I’ll have a team of favorites and the East Event should be dropping.

Figured I’d share in the event people were looking for something different to do.

Cheers and enjoy the holidays!
