Ok. Aside from the fact that we all agree that the servers suck, etc. Can we all agree that besides all that stuff this year's game was actually decent?

I know, this is going to probably become a hot topic of intense debate, but I think that, putting those things aside, this year's game was actually great.

At the beginning of the year, you had a free 99 Jackie, (although hard to obtain if you were NMS) and also some quality low level headliner diamonds. I think it was kinda weird that they stopped at 40 Headliner packs, as last year was 50, so I think we were all a little disappointed by that, but still some actually good quality cards that I'm sure some people still have in their lineups today.

The bosses ramped up in their OVRs pretty quickly, quicker than last year, but the bosses were great. Yes, I know, we are all still waiting for 99 Griffey, (as of the time of this post) but other than that, I think we have checked off the boxes for most of the diamonds that everyone was waiting for.

The collections this year, I mean the Legends and Flashbacks collections, were really good. When we looked at the calendar in like late August (?) and it said that there was already a big collection coming out, we were all probably caught off guard. "How could there already be a huge collection!!" It ended up being 99 Rivera. Then you had Mookie. Now we have Kershaw. I think they are done adding new big collection rewards to the Legends and Flashbacks. The All-Star collection was awesome. I personally haven't used 99 Ohtani, but I couldn't hit well against him online.

The Live Series collection to me was just the same as it always is, so nothing special to cover there.

Team Affinity this year was great, in my opinion. All 4 TAs so far have been good, with the rewards being pretty decent. I know TA 5 is coming, so yay. Make sure you stock up on all those golds and silvers, maybe even a few bronzes, my friends.

Even the Postseason Program has been good. High level cards, that could actually be used in a RS game or something. As of right now, the World Series is tied 1-1. (Sorry if I just accidentally spoiled it for anyone who didn't know that) I think it will be a great series.

This is my opinion about the major content that has happened so far this year. I'm sure I missed a few major content updates or something, but this is just off the top of my head.

Tell me what you think

OK, I know everyone is probably tired of everyone being like, "Oh Tatis this, and Oh Tatis that!! He does it all! He's awesome!" OK. Great. I was one of the few people who was hoping it would be someone other than Tatis, but when it was him, I wasn't really surprised at all. I got the card yesterday, and tried him out today in RS. He got out in his 1st AB, and then went on a TEAR. He ended up hitting for the cycle IN FENWAY PARK! I didn't choose Fenway Park, I was the away team. I was shocked that he did that well. I hope he continues to do that... That would be nice. Anyways, he went 5 for 6 with 2 HRs (One over the Green Monster), a triple, a double, and a single.

My question to everyone is basically this:
Do you like the Fernando Tatis Jr. MA card? How well do you hit with him, and do you wish is was still someone else?

@The_DoctorsWife
You can hit L1 BEFORE it pops up, I usually hit it right as I see the ball come back into the frame, or right before the fielder is going to catch it, and I can get an ever BETTER jump without leaving the bag too early.

Alright people, I KNOW for fact that it isn't just a me thing, Perfect-Perfect outs need to be NON-EXISTENT. PERIOD. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. If you hit a perfect-perfect flyball WITH 125 POWER it should be a no-doubt homer EVERY time. No matter what. Any don't even get me started with the perfect-perfect lineouts. I know, perfect-perfect liner is more straight, not much launch angle, but still, THEY SHOULD NOT BE CAUGHT. Perfect-Perfect Grounders make sense for getting caught, since you are hitting it on the ground. But the other two, this is unacceptable. I hope I am not the only one who thinks this should be fixed.

@sds I would really appreciate it if you could take note of this, or at least fix Perfect-Perfect Flyball. Just that change alone would make everyone SO much happier with the game. Thanks.

What do you all think? Do you agree with me? What do you hate the MOST about Perfect-Perfect Outs?

@go4stros25_psn said in Honus question:

Wagner looks awesome. All the new cards look awesome ( Kershaw not so much with only 107 h/9 as a touted "big collection") content is great today.

My question is, why does honus have diamond defense? I can't wait to use the card and all, but he had over 800 errors in his career and is near the top all time in the category. Am I missing something?

Serious question.

IDK maybe he made some awesome play or something that they heard about and they are like, "hmm yep. looks to me like he gets diamond fielding just for that." That is dumb though.

Can't we all just like... Ya know... Stop mentioning this? I mean, the advice is great, but I have heard it so many times it is getting really old.

POV: We all don't really care anymore.

You guys are being very rude, I would appreciate it if you would go be rude somewhere else. If I don't want to tell the world what the bug is, I don't have to, but since you are all complaining, I will. I was playing MTO, and I was unable to move my player at all in a player locked moment, and the player, when fielding, would act as if the ball was never even hit to them.

2 things: Who is "Doby?" and Are they a prime series card??? PLEASE LET IT BE SO!! I JUST NEED 1 MORE PRIME CARD TOWARDS TROUT COLLECTION!!!!

You are fine

Bruh does anyone else see a trend here in the PR rewards? They have been going up by 2 overall points for a little bit now. At this rate, next RS, PR rewards are gonna be as good as the WS rewards cuz they'll be 99's.

That is the point, henchmen and PR rewards end up being 99's...they aren't usually end game 99's though...a henchman was literally 99 Mathewson last year...played like a common and has a slow windup

Lol. At first I thought that you said the 99 Eddie Mathews was a henchman last year. (Don't know if there was a 99 Eddie Mathews or not last year) But then I saw MathewSON... ... REALLY??? THATS AWESOME!! free 99 overall cards for doing absoloutly NOTHING!!!

I just was thinking, they give us a specific group of legends and flashbacks to collect each program, like the 6th Inning Program was Prime players. I'm not saying they couldn't do them again, but besides Breakout, Rookie, All-Stars, and Prime players, what group of players do you think it will be? I'm thinking something like Signature Series cards.

What do you think?

Maybe, but they did that along with rookie players in either the 2nd or 3rd inning program. But they always could!

Never in my life will there be a new postseason card in the game.

ok thanks for the advice, this was my first post.

already had him... don't get excited about his 94 fastball though.. used him like 7 or 8 times already, haven't seen a 96 mph fastball ONCE. i was hopeful because rollie fingers could do it, but not him. and yes, enjoy. always start with a high sinker, they are ALWAYS late. even though he only throws like 91-92 ish with his sinker.

i found it
