    Al Leiter

    Just have to say, I think that Al Leiter no-no card is beautiful. The card art looks great in my opinion. That’s all haha

    RE: When is "too late" to finish the LS collection?

    For me, personally, it’s never too late. I absolutely love collecting cards in these modes. It’s a lot of fun to me. I’m an average player at best, but I just love completing things and getting rewards. I don’t spend money on the game either, so I still need 4 of the gatekeepers, but I’m oh so close!

    RE: Conquest

    Only if you ask nicely. They might just do it every single time you open the mode 😂

    RE: Investment - how did you do?

    I had made a modest investment in Zack Wheeler when he was an 80 OVR. Only bought 40 of him at quicksell. Wish I would’ve had more stubs at the time, but I’m not mad at a 160k profit. It’s enough profit to let me buy Trout and finish live series

    RE: Investment - how did you do?

    @jmcdonald1817 from what I’ve noticed, RP/CP can be very hard to predict for upgrades. I imagine it’s because of the irregular usage you see for them, especially the ones used in high leverage situations like saves and holds. Sample sizes tend to be smaller for them compared to starters and positions players. It seems like they want to see an extended period of excellent play rather than a couple weeks. I feel like Kimbrel has pitched as a diamond since the first week and just went today (Granted, I also don’t know what he started out as). Just a thought 🤷‍♂️

    RE: I think the NMS guys are right

    I’ve been grinding since opening night, pretty much nonstop. I’ve made it to the 3rd no sell fotf pack. I have over 300,000 stubs from a lucky diamond equipment pull that I sold and a ton of low level flips. Finished all the conquests once. Finished the moments, babe, and showdown. Working on cheap live series collections now. NMS is still definitely viable, as it’s the only way I play, but luck and grinding sure are required haha. I actually haven’t hated building the team from literally the ground up. My conquest team was absolute TRASH. The CPU was giving me trouble cause I couldn’t pitch. I’ve acquired some diamonds now so it should improve haha

    RE: Market is Trash Right Now

    @dutchoven53_xbl said in Market is Trash Right Now:

    Not sure what flips are being attempted, but I haven’t had much trouble during early access. It’s pretty much how I spend most of my time during the early stages. I do a ton of low level flips though so maybe that’s it. That part of the market doesn’t seem as volatile. I’m totally fine with making 80-150 stubs per flip if I’m flipping 15-20 cards every few mins 🤷‍♂️

    The market has certainly been a bit tougher than years past, primarily because the servers are working surprisingly well and web access was immediate so on friday i suspect a ton of people were on the market on their work computers flipping like crazy whereas normally it takes at least until the weekend for margins to significantly shrink.

    I still had no problem making my stubs though. I actually did better the first day than i normally do. that said, it's already pretty tough out there. Hopefully it gets easier as all the casuals get their access that probably don't flip as much and orders start flying.

    Yes I’ve noticed the margins aren’t quite as large as years past, but I agree, I haven’t had trouble making my stubs so far. Started with the 25k and have a nice bankroll going into official release tonight. Fingers crossed the servers cooperate for me as well as they did all weekend (won’t hold my breath haha). I get off at 730p so it’s perfect as I can get on with the general population at 9p (west coaster). Hoping for a ton of people just hitting that sell now and buy now haha

    RE: 42 Series - Team Affinities

    My favorites are Salvy Perez and Tim Anderson so far

    RE: Collections

    @Duke0021520_XBL I'm an Indians fan, so I did the AL central TA first. I wanted the franmil card cause I’m a homer haha. The Salvy Perez and Tim Anderson are nice as well. I transitioned to working the AL East next because I hit decently with the Bichette and Bogaerts. Ultimately, every game I play has some sort of progress toward a TA and whatever other content is active at that time.

    RE: I hate showdown

    Showdown is what it is, patience will help for sure. My favorite part of showdown is the platinum, diamond, super, mega, gold glove CPU defense 😂😂

    RE: Pinpoint pitching

    @mikeybroz23_psn said in Pinpoint pitching:

    Is this happening for multiple pitchers? I Havnt had this happen but it could be because the pitcher you are using has a faster windup and you aren’t used to it

    It happens on multiple pitchers. I’ll have to tinker with it and see if that’s the reason, but i had the same issues last year too. It just seems to come up randomly

    Pinpoint pitching

    Just curious if anyone on Xbox has trouble completing the animation with 4 seam FB on pinpoint? I’d say about 50% of the time the pinpoint animation just stops on the upswing for 4 seamers and I can’t finish the animation so I have no clue where the pitch is going. Is this an Xbox thing or a game thing?

    RE: Is anyone really making a killing with flipping cards?

    I’ve done so so flipping. Early access weekend I did really well. Margins are meh right now. 200-300 stubs per flip is what I’m seeing. I do quantity over quality haha. I’ve made enough stubs to get down to my final 6 LS collection teams, but it’s all the teams with big boy diamonds 😂

    RE: What cards are killer for you right now?

    84 gold Ozzie Albies and FOTF CJ Cron

    Servers

    Just curious everyones experience with the servers this year? Aside from a few snags in the beginning stages of early access and here and there around official launch, I’ve had almost zero problems. This is the first year I’ve ever been hardwired to my modem so I don’t know if that helps, but I’ve been pleased so far 🤷‍♂️

    RE: This is the worst hitting has ever been.

    @kelloggs19_psn said in This is the worst hitting has ever been.:

    @dunkypunch25_psn said in This is the worst hitting has ever been.:

    Hitting was better a couple days ago. They changed somthing. People will fall out of their chairs to defend this saying they didn't nerf hitting, but it's obvious.

    Idk why, but the cynical side of me sees all these "collect pxp" missions and thinks, maybe they nerfed hitting so we wouldn't blow through these challenges. But that's probably not it, as we were going to complete these fast anyway. Exit velo is way down, timing windows are smaller, etc. Christ your lucky to score 2 runs in a conquest game right now.

    Its still doable obviously, but it does make the game more boring.

    Edit: it's like this every year. Hitting is amazing at release and then a few people start complaining about how online play has too many homeruns (why that's a bad thing I'll never know) because god forbid you lose every once in a while, and then all of the sudden hitting sucks for everybody.

    I thought it was just me having a hard time scoring runs. I was having such a hard time today against Seattle! Seattle. Like Cmon! They def did change something.

    Definitely not just you haha. The amount of times I’ve been walked off in conquest on some BS is laughable. I haven’t played since the stamina patch, so hopefully I don’t have to run out 5 pitchers in a 3 inning conquest game because I can’t locate anything after like 5 pitches 😅😂

    RE: Margins in Market

    I’ve been flipping to finish collections for about 4 years now. This market seems to be a bit tougher than in the past. I have 8 teams left to finish in LS collection. The margins are very small. I made a ton during early access, but it’s slowed substantially. All I have left are the big boy diamonds to collect right now so we’ll see. I wonder if the change in quick sell values have anything to do with it, I don’t know. Margins are definitely razor thin right now so when I flip, I flip is mass bulk, not quality haha

    FOTF cards

    I know people hate that we don’t get the pick 6 of these cards. I got CJ Cron out of one the random packs. I think this dude rakes. Low key stud in the early grind in my opinion. Super happy he was one of my random, early diamonds haha

    RE: FotF Cards in Random Pack

    Tucker, Cron, Devers. I’m pleased with all of them so far, even though it’s only against the CPU
