I love the HOF Gil Hodges card. Underrated in my opinion

Well its been sorta fun this year. It's always very similar content with subtle changes. Was able to collect all the way to Bautista, but beyond that had zero interest. Game kinda lost me when you go a secondary moonshot series and Ozzie Smith is part of it. Dude hit like 12 HRs in career but he has massive power. That's not what this game is about. Wasn't this always about producing the best simulation possible or are we headed the Call Of Duty way where we chasing around Beavis and Butthead and collecting Shamrocks for worthless rewards. The developers lose focus on what makes a great game in order line pockets with dollars and it shows in the content presented as the game gets deeper into its shelf life.

I swear I cannot stand trying to play an online game and the minute you hammer a home run opponent quits before ball has even landed. Great I get the win but its such a waste of time. It's like, cmon you are that bad you can't get a run after less than one inning.

Waiting on Final Fantasy Tactics. Did my pre-order a week ago.

Finally got Ted today after finishing 20th Anniversary mini seasons. I don't have All Star, Moonshot, HR Derby or Draft Picks collections done. In no hurry for those. Only have about 60K in stubs so alot of cards are out of reach.

Im one voucher away from Ted Williams. It's either the moonshot collection or the 20th Anniversary collection. Not sure yet which path to take since I have to finish mini seasons for each.

SDS are about the most idiotic MFs the way they release cards. Why in the world would you do a Kyle Schwarber card ahead of the All Star game. Let the game play out before you do this [censored] [censored]. Unbelievable

So I have all programs done. I have Rolen done, and am 7 vouchers away from Ted Williams but am stub poor, roughly about 18K, so trying to buy anything is useless. Pretty much grinded my way to this point but I'm just treading water and gaining nothing. Ranked nets me zero, DiamondQuest is a crapshoot and miniseasons gains me very little. What a crappy spot to be in right now.

I was actually able to get them all done this week. I got lucky with 3 pulls of Judge. What really helped was investing and those turning into diamonds which I quicksold for massive profit. I also sold every card early the first few weeks to build stubs for those investments.

I don't play this mode alot. Reason being, I'm amazed at how many times I roll a one. Makes it take forever and zero fun. I hope they revamp this because it is one boring grind for this reason.

Wondering what the pros/ cons are to playing with the PCI on vs. off. I'm not a great hitter and often struggle online. I go back and forth with mixed results but still end up not doing very well in the long run.
With the PCI on I get distracted and seem to only focus on the PCI which I don't feel is really correct.
When I play with it off I focus more on the ball and react to the actual pitch but never really make great contact because there is no visual to focus on.
Seems like I'm always grasping at straws.

Thanks for the tips. I guess I just really didn't understand the whole pinpoint pitching aspect, which really changes my approach. I need to get better at pitching because I suck as a hitter.

I absolutely have no idea how to pitch online. Everything I throw in the zone, no matter where it is, gets demolished. I throw balls on purpose, sometimes those even get hit 6 miles. Completely clueless. Tried everything. One thing I do notice is even when you spot one perfect it still misses as a very hittable pitch, must be an online thing. I don't know.

How many of you have used these things? I've used Kontrol Freeks with mixed results. I feel like the added height is more for comfort than actually helping with anything.
I tried the precision rings this year and those are terrible. I tried three different ones and one of them tore in half after I was switching it out. They really hinder my fielding too. Not sure what they are really supposed to help with as I noticed they hurt more than helped.
Any thoughts for those with positive reviews?

I've pulled Judge 3 times this year with some good live Diamonds. Sold most everything of value early and after all was done was able to complete probably 95 percent of live series. Sitting at 600K stubs, hopefully get lucky again so I can complete with plenty left over for later in the game.

Not sure why they set it up to buy the third. Kind of dumb IMO

I was going to say the whole game this year. Programs and team affinities are so easy to complete. The rewards are almost worthless. Really just an empty boring game this year. Needs a total revamp which I would be all for. Dump moments, conquest needs to be way more interesting, like an online conquest mode. Showdown needs a big change, again online showdown maybe.
These may not all be great ideas, but at least its something than the same boring [censored] grind we get anymore.

Good luck. Half the time my logo never shows up. Next year I'm going generic instead of wasting time doing something I never see anyway.

Playing an event, first batter solid single. Next guy up rips a gapper to left, man on first dissappears, so I send batter to second, batter then magically appears over to third and I send home. I get credit for a inside the park HR and end up with batter on 2nd base. WTF is going in this world?

So the last few weeks, and I'm sure it's been way longer, I noticed on pitch feedback that when I "thought" I was moving my PCI to the ball it still was dead center.
I feel as if I am moving it but yet most of the time it stays dead center, which is where I start.
When I do actually move it, I'm never even in the vicinity.
What in the world, besides being a terrible hitter, would make me think I'm moving the PCI and it actually not happening, and it's not a controller issue.
