1 HR is not supercharge worthy. It won't or shouldn't happen

I think 8 RBIs is enough. Won't know until Monday though.

Probably won't know til Tuesday because of memorial day on Monday

Ah yes, since I retired I often forget these Monday holidays when they pop up

I think 8 RBIs is enough. Won't know until Monday though.

@Dolenz_PSN I just saw that if you get 500PXP with the Color Storm card, you will get 150,000 for the My Journey TA program which will help for the ASG and Finest vouchers!

Yeah, they showed that on the stream. As soon as I get that PXP with him (stuck him in the leadoff spot) I will have earned both. I am only 45K from the Finest Voucher.

I can't remember do you get PXP for stolen bases? His running stats are 99,99,99

@Dolenz_PSN That is even better than awesome (whatever that is)! You beat me to the first Color Blast card!

I don't know if I will even attempt any more. There are lots of other programs I have not touched.

Oh, and I decided to keep using Edmonds as captain because Scott II's boost are not great at least for CPU play. They make sense for the type of player he is (It boosts Fielding and Speed for example) but nothing like Edmonds.

@Dolenz_PSN That is awesome! You should also be close to the Pitcher PXP mission as well! You are going to have Victor Scott II in no time!

Already got him. I finished that game with 49 out of 50 TB so I played a conquest game and got that with the first single I hit (stupid conquest game went into extras again)

I thought for sure 25 strike outs would take about a 9 inning rookie game and then maybe a conquest game or two to top them off but Mathews notched my personal best and completed the mission in one game. And yes it was on rookie but I still am amazed none of the CPU batters got some lucky hit.

Missed a perfect game with 27 strike outs by one batter

No, I think they said that in the Stream

I don't think they did it so we lesser mortals could get all 30 done. I think they did it so many players could at least get their 1 favorite team done.

Thanks for the resolution and clarification. I just looked and Scott is indeed in my Inventory

I don't mind it.

They obviously don't want to lock people out of their favorite team's all star or finest card. This boost will get me the Cardinals Finest and then I can not worry about it. It's the only one I will get done. If people want to grind that is still a lot of grinding to do it for all teams.

The only explanation is that they looked at the data for all players, and just not those in the top 5%-10%, and saw less progress in the TA programs than they expected. They can't lessen the stat grinds and remain fair to those who already have done them so this is a catch up mechanic.

And as far as the Team affinity My Journey timeline I think it would be cool if they gave out Gold Versions of those cards between the 365K mark when you get the Finest and the 1.415 million. That is a lot of extra points to get for an icon that nobody will see if you are an offline player. Those icons used to show here on the forums too but that seems to have stopped.

Poor planning on SDS's part in my opinion

I don't see the problem. Why force a pitcher on the Rockies for example?

Because there are two captain spots and most teams will only be able to use one for like half the season

If they plan it out so that every team would be able to use two now then they would not need to have lesser boosts on some cards and feel the need to go back and nerf some of the Jolt Captains.

So they gave the Cardinals two CF captains so far but I can only use one as a captain.

Two hitter captains can't both be used so you have to choose between the captain that gives contact or one that gives power.

They said that teams that have both a hitter and a pitcher will have a little less of a boost. Some jolt captains will be slightly nerfed if the can now be paired with a pitcher captain.

Poor planning on SDS's part in my opinion

I wish they would stop underselling how long these programs.. 7 moments, pxp missions and stat missions. There is no way I am doing that in an hour

Yeah, I have not been overly motivated to do the stat grinds (especially specific teams) on programs so I have not done a lot of them, therefore I am way, way behind on the XP path.

How bad is bad? I am at 45.5K. Just another 200K for a boss pack.

But honestly it is because I don't seem to be playing as much. I jumped on last night played 1 conquest game on veteran, wound up in a 0-0 extra inning game and called it a night when I finished it. That happens entirely too often this year, far more than any previous year.

Thanks for posting that. I was just about to scrub through it at .25 speed to see if I could catch them. They scrolled by very quickly.

Looking at the game history, I don't believe any of the original posters stats.

I play almost exclusively on veteran and have never noticed pitching as poorly as he describes, in fact it is the opposite, with every pitcher from commons to diamonds living on the edges and making very few mistake pitches.

same … Yes, I had 4 straight balls … very rarely tho … but „EVERY TIME“ is just not true. Why does this kind of behaviour happen so often in here??

I have no idea, I don't think people realize that when they say this stuff we can go check their game log.

In that game against Colorado. He only walked three times, racked up 26 runs on 29 hits, and was 8 for 8 with 4 home runs on his perfect/perfect swings.

I can only assume he wanted 36 runs.

While I don't think I really believe this. I play pretty exclusive on veteran and never have seen pitching this bad. In fact I see exactly the opposite pitchers nailing the edges way too often.

You had one game against the Rockies today.

• You walked 3 times all game once each in the 1st, 4th and 6th. So the two leadoff batters walking on 8 straight pitches appears to be an exaggeration.
• You cranked out 26 runs on 29 hits
• You homered 12 times.
• You were 8 for 8 on Perfect/Perfect swings including 4 homers.

@Dolenz_PSN I kind of wish I could see some of that pitching the OP described. It's going to take all year to get those 300 walks for that My Legacy program!

Honestly, I started to log my PAs in a MS on veteran. So far, through 6 games, it's 42.2% in the heart of the plate, 29.9% border pitches (could be ball or strike, but on the line in the games' graphic), and 27.8% waste pitches.

When playing the game, it does seem like a whole lot more "dots and balls", but when looking at my PAs at the end of the game, I have gotten plenty in the heart of the plate.

What do you define heart of the plate? To me it would mean a pitch I would not need to move the PCI at all. I get plenty that are slight above or below that area, unfortunately resulting in a lot of weak flyouts and ground ball outs.

Of course It could just be me, but I am basically batting the same style of have for 5-10 years now.
