I was hoping the sale would drop the prices for Judge, JRam and Witt but they didn't move too much. Went ahead and bought all 3 during the sale anyways, Judge dipped ever so slightly. LS complete

@DodgerMatt93_MLBTS well since I posted this I pulled Trout in a Ballin' pack and about 10 mins ago I pulled Ohtani in a normal show pack... Still in shock but but I guess my "scratch-off" lotto tickets paid out... Now I just need someone silly enough to buy him for 693K stubs.

I started with Jared Jones and Javy Baez since I was already using a Pirates/Tigers lineup for TA. The only one I'm excited to unlock is Benintendi so I'll probably do him first before moving on to all the teams I haven't already unlocked an AS Voucher for (so leaving Red Sox, Yankees, Angels, Padres and Dodgers for last). Dodgers I already have the Finest Voucher so they will be the last one since the 150K TA xp is useless.

I still need Judge, JRam, Witt and Skubal to complete LS... I have about 175K in stubs. I feel like a complete dummy just continuing to think I'll pull a mega hit in my standard show packs to be able to put a dent in getting these guys... Its like I'm buying thousands of scratch-off lotto tickets and expecting to win big.

Haha, they do this every single stream.. with the Spotlight programs too "get this card in like 30 mins"... and it takes me the better part of the week lol.

@RealMessiah_XBL maybe a slight L for those like you who have done an insane amount of grinding to get 18 AS vouchers already... but for the vast majority who have none or just a few.. this is a huge W.

I play exclusively Rookie and even I'm not seeing anything close to as bad as what OP describes. Usually every at bat starts with 2 way-outside balls followed by a very hittable pitch. The very odd time I may get to a 3-0 count. For the entire year I have 27 walks compared to 3,251 hits and 879 home runs. I'm definitely on the less patient side and prone to chasing bad pitches (I find it boring to have to wait 5-6 pitches every at bat for "my pitch") but I'd have way more walks than 27 if what OP said was true. My Veteran experience in Moments is way more strikes just inside the zone and balls that are barely outside.

Rookie feels like it tests your ability to spot bad pitches vs. meatballs.
Veteran feels like it tests your ability to move the PCI to the outside edge of the zone.

@TheDaveyG_NSW yeah I'm doubtful about the doubling up because some teams won't be able to (Giants, Cubs, Rockies) assuming you can't assign 2 hitting captains.

Blake Treinen for my Dodgers... what a letdown haha.

@TripleH-4481_PSN Do they ever do a "state of the game" blog or update? It would be interesting to hear them acknowledge or deny any of the issues like CPU fielding, EVs, market inflation, etc.

Even just a quick "yes, we realize the CPU is fielding a bit too well on low difficulties and its not consistent with how higher rated player-controlled fielders act, we will be looking to tweak it in a future update" would be welcome.

@SaveFarris_PSN When you play offline and have all the programs complete there isn't much else to progress lol. I'm just 'casually' playing conquest and stuff with teams that are themed around a couple teams (right now its Pirates & Tigers). Not grinding it that hard.

I have 5 AS Vouchers (Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, Angels and Padres) and just 1 Finest Voucher (Dodgers).... boy its a slow grind. Looking forward to the stream tomorrow to see what additions to TA they have planned.

Try Mack Park on Rookie. Finished Arraez pretty quickly with that short RF fence.
