Ok, I’ll come right out and say it:
I’m convinced our all 99 God-mode squads are nerfed in Conquest. That’s a hill I’ll die on. 🫣

My DD goal every year is to finish as many Collections as I can. So, yes, I enjoy the card collecting part of the game immensely. (I did as a kid as well)
Do I want the cards “given” to me? No. Do I want some out of my reach? As long as I can finish a collection without it, don’t mind at all. Do I want to endlessly grind for a card, playing modes I don’t care for? Heck no!!
Just to give you some perspective, I’ve been playing since day 1. I play frequently. I have Miggy done ( as far as the big collections go). Still need 5 for the next one (Martinez, I think). The rest are in double digits.
Prices on cards has been ridiculous this year. I’m no market guru, but I blame the bots and the WBC pack-a-palooza glitch. Also, you need to do some Showdown, some Storylines and several mini seasons to finish. (Not a fan of any of those modes)
I suspect I’m not the only one this “far behind”.
I am a showdown hater as well. Avoid it like the plague.
Having said that, i remember those being stupid easy.
Surely, you can put your “my legacy” icon in there to complete or fill some of it in.
Also, one point isn’t gonna go much towards a 100 program.
Hmmm….
Yes, I am skipping that one as well. Thankfully, we can.
The game refuses to allow me to hit a homer with Garrett Mitchell.
Sorry to bring up a long ago thread….
This grant taylor vs the guardians moment is a JOKE.
I’ve three times had 2 k and 2 strikes on batters, only for them to hit a weak out somewhere.
Ugh!!!?
Ha! I’m not as far behind as you @dolenz_psn but I’m 20k short of arrietta. I’ve gotten most of the bosses by buying them.
I’ve yet to complete ANY of the big collections (Miggy, Martinez, etc) and the cards are just too dang expensive on the market. And my pulls from packs….ahh never mind.
All this to say, it’s very discouraging and disappointing playing The Show so far this year. I don’t mind grinding but it seems to be getting me nowhere. Throw in the lack of action on WBC and I’m leaning towards giving this game a miss next year.
I got moonshot Matt carpenter. I needed him so….ok, I guess.
Moments at the beginning of this season were fairly straightforward. A couple of times (at most) to get them.
Since the Allstar break ( and the release of 99’s), they’ve turned back into their diabolical selves again.
The Jackson Chourio moment is impossible.
79 power won’t get it done.
SDS should ask @Dolenz for his WBC cheater glitch script.
Start there…..
I use directional hitting. I push my left stick to the right (all the way). This helps me get around on inside pitches better. Move the left stick when pitcher starts his windup.
If I don’t get a hit on the first at bat, I restart.
If I don’t get second hit by the third at bat, I restart.
Having said all this, it did take awhile.
Yeah, I tried to copy from GIPHY and paste into the reply.
Anything beyond that is beyond me. 
I’ve been trying for 10 minutes to post the gif of:
“Welcome to the party, pal”
(Seems I don’t have permission). (Shrugs)
@sarge1387_psn I know I’m on the fence. I like to complete as many of the collections as possible. Cards are way too expensive. Unless the market crashes, I don’t think I’ll complete any of the big collections either.
If that’s the case, I’ll be passing on next year. I’m also on the fence because of the lack of action on the WBC exploit. I think that has ALOT to do with the expensive market.
Every one of those moonshot moments took over ten tries for me.
I never thought I’d get one with Garrett Anderson. That took a long time.
I was extremely proud of myself! I actually got the Dave Roberts on Hall of Fame. Don’t make me say how many times it took to get it, but I got it. 
(This is coming from a veteran only level player)
The next one with Campanella as the pitcher….didn’t happen. Although I tried it for about 15 minutes. Oh well.
Moments at the beginning of the year were actually quite fun.
Around the AllStar content release (when 99’s started showing up), they became their “pain in the [censored]” selves again.
The Moonshot moments were brutal. At least 10 times for every one. Never thought I’d finish Garrett Anderson.
