Yeah ... I'm going to have to rent some hitters to get this part done. 3k with one player is going to get rough.
Lesson learned for next month.

For a 92 ovr Rizzo worthless to any real player and they'll drop a 97 legend in Chase packs in a few days but somehow yall will defend that right? Lol fn clowns I swear
Hey I'm good with being a clown who enjoys playing this game and working on the task and don't care what the card. This program is great for just doing that thing called grinding something this community has clearly forgotten what that actually is
Can you imagine what some of these 'new' players would have to say if SDS brought back the 'Immortal' grind?
Oh my God not the Immortals. Anything but the Immortals. Talk about trauma.

Steal fans on veteran to avoid playing them on all-star. Yes you have to play some extra games, but it's worth it in the end.
You'll end up playing either the Braves or whomever the last team is (can't remember at the moment) on rookie once you start taking over hexes.
I have trouble with all star pitch speeds but still ended up beating the Yankees and Mets on all star before I started stealing fans for pxp gains.Thanks!!
Happy to help

A few quick keys:
- check who the catcher is and his throw power/accuracy. I haven't been caught stealing much, but the ones that do throw me out, even with a good jump, are high throw power catchers.
- make sure you have high-speed (sometimes mid-speed will do), high base-stealing runner (Lofton, Ricky Henderson, etc.)
- do not take an extra step. The cpu is aggressive at pick-off attempts. Best to just stay put.
- do not go on the first two pitches. The first is almost always either a slide step, pitch out, or both, so you'll be thrown out regardless of who's on base.
- if you can get ahead of the count that's best (2-0 and 2-1 or 3-1 counts). Even counts are sometimes pre-programmed for off-speed pitches, so it's 50-50 if you really want try it.
I've only been thrown out three times with Henderson (on 50+ attempts) and haven't been thrown out with Lofton yet (20-some attempts), so hopefully these help everyone.

I don't mind the grind but this is a bit too much. Yeesh.

So who we taking? I picked Britton and Banks and regretting it now that I found out I can only pick 2. Oh well who cares.
Can’t go wrong with Banks
He's playing a decent second base for me.
Out of position? I think he only has 3B as secondary, no?
Yeah but he still has a silver shield over at 2B with 72 fielding and 70 reaction. Turns double plays just fine and even gets the turning jumpthrows.
Uh, the more you know.
Cue the NBC shooting star
AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE!
G.I. JOOOOOOOE!

Thank you for this. I didn't think about stealing cause I didn't think it would lower the difficulty enough. I was able to steal and play on veteran and had both New York strongholds and Baltimore's by turn four. It was easy after that.
Always happy to help.

I took Eddie and will probably take Justice once I get there (about 10k away). Eddie rakes and I like Justice's numbers enough to try him out.
If Justice doesn't work out I'll sell him for Britton. Left handed bullpen is always a good option to have. -

What type of base runners are you using? If they're high speed, high steal guys then I have a few tips, but if you're using guys with high speed but low stealing ability (Travis Demeritte comes to mind since he's a new card) it may be more difficult to swipe bags.

My issue is pitch speeds. My eyesight sucks so all star speeds are hard to pick up. Is there a way to play the Mets on veteran?
At this point I'm doing the map for the packs and that's it.Maybe you should play on a monitor that you could sit closer to. I play on a 48” tv and my couch is about 8 feet back, but when I play on my projector with a 100” screen, it’s a big difference. I’m 43, no glasses yet but I feel it coming slowly
41 & basically blind without glasses. I try to sit as close as I possibly can with my 55 inch (it's a good tv too).
Guess I just need to practice -

There is a lower stub count overall but that didn't mean you need to put in your cc number to complete collections. I'm saving for the bigger buys and collecting the smaller cards as I pick up stubs.
Sell any duplicates, even stadiums, play some rtts (massive xp to be had for little effort). And you can obtain packs as you go. We're only a month in, don't stress too much over it. -
I've pulled Lofton three times now
-
That moment was weird for me:
Second pitch was wild, resulting in the tying run scoring.
Next pitch was a meatball. Hit the homer to end the moment. -
I'll be playing other games until the new program starts. Anything The Show related is wasted xp.

FotF Votto absolutely crushes for me.

Play the Orioles, be the home team, play at a ballpark you mash at.

Offline player here. I have fun collecting, playing the conquest maps, dailies, etc. The thought of playing anything online, even games that don't count against your record, is intimidating for me so avoid it.
Does it cost me some possible free cards? Yes, but I'd rather buy it or "rent" it then sell it back than go for wins online.
I like playing baseball without stressing out, that's pretty much it. -
Opened the big dog and got the rare round, so that was nice.
Other packs yielded nothing special, some golds and new cards to help with collectiions.
