That is such an odd designation as there is no such award to my knowledge. But thanks for clarifying.

@MatrixTN_PSN

Do you mean, they have to have had the best average in both leagues? I’d had to do research but I’m sure some of the guys I mentioned have that.

The missions include 10 hits with former batting champs and 5 XBH as well. I have added several cards to my lineup who have won batting titles over the years but many of them don’t earn credit. Not sure if this is a glitch or if SDS doesn’t know it’s baseball history. I’ve added all of these guys below and none of them get credit.

Stan Musial- all he did was win 7 batting titles.
Juan Soto- yes it was Covid but he still won
Jackie Robinson- won a batting title in 1949, he also won the MVP that season.
Manny Ramirez- people forget he hit for a high average too. In 2002 he won a batting title with a .349 average.

Stop me if I’m telling lies. Is this a glitch or does SDS you only acknowledge certain batting champs.

@SaveFarris_PSN glad to have Albert back in The game.

Pujols is back. The Machine. One of the 5 greatest hitters of all time.

Also King Felix and Roy Campanella

I will definitely order the game. Not positive I will preorder. But I’ll get it before early release and buy the deluxe

What does it say on the schedule? My guess is we will get an Aaron Judge Cover card or I believe last year we got a Willie Mays, maybe a legends like that.

Good to see some of the old gang still around. I need to figure out a workaround so I can play online this year. I have TMobile and can’t play online games.

This was easily the best World Series we’ve seen since the Cubs and Indians in 2016. Game 3 a Game 7 both belong in same category as Game 6 in 1975 or my personal favorite The David Freese Game- Game 6 in 2011. Game 4, 5 and 7 in 2001 or Game 6 and 7 in 1991. It was all time classic series. I would love to see another series like it. I think the Jays need to make an another big move for their lineup and shore up their bullpen a bit. The offseason moves they made have been great but not that Bichette is gone, someone needs to make up that offense.

@PAinPA_PSN

I mean obviously nobody is a shoe in. A 3 peat is incredibly rare. But I will argue we have never seen a team so complete as the current Dodgers save for the 1998 Yankees. We can’t compare to anything prior to 95 because of all the rounds of playoffs they have to go through.

This team has the financial might to plug any hole at any time with the best available player. Their bullpen was bad which is amazing considering how many elite arms the signed. But it wasn’t what they planned so they go out and buy Edwin Diaz. They don’t have an elite RFer they pay Kyle Tucker money as if her were Barry Bonds.

But I agree, they aren’t a shoe in, but definitely odds on favorite.

Oh man, I’ve been off this forum too long. I’ll need to get back into this year. I’m excited for the game because for once I’ve stopped playing regularly to wait for the new one.

Sorry, hi all.

@MarioMendoza935_XBL incoming…Albert Pujols Dodger legend.

I love throwing this out there but Pujols is my favorite player all time. And I think he’s a top 5 all time player, certainly top 5 all time hitter. Would love to see him back.

As for @savefarris_psn thread- I could see them bringing in ARod or Ichiro as the big reveal this year.

It’s gonna be hard to top last year where we got Manny, Teddy Ballgame, Clemens, Hank Greenberg, Steve Carlton and Gil Hodges among others.

I like Koufax, Yogi Berra or DiMaggio.

@MarioMendoza935_XBL great point. The A’s wherever they may roam have a pretty great up and coming offense. If the kids hit like they did last year, they could score a lot of runs.

Alright, today’s topic- which AL team has the best lineup?

It feels odd to be out of the Astros era. It really is impressive what they accomplished (trash car or not) from 2017-2024. 2 World Series titles. 4 AL pennants, 7 straight trips to the ALCS and 7 division titles. Their lineups were a huge part of that.

This year I think the Mariners, Yankees, Blue Jays and Orioles have the best lineups. You?

I appreciate that the Pirates are making moves. Maybe they aren’t the blockbuster moves the Mets have made but that offense should be demonstrably better with Lowe, O’Hearn and Mangum. BrianReynolds and O’Neil Cruz should have better opportunities with a little support. Also if Konner Griffenia ready, that would be exciting. I would like to see them add a power bat like Suarez.

I’m ready for the season to start even if the Dodgers are a shoe in to 3peat. I hope I’m wrong.

Today’s topic- who has the best offense in the National League other than the Dodgers?

My initial instinct is the Mets but I’m gonna say the Cubs. Busch and Crow Armstrong are dynamic middle of the order bats should continue to get better. Suzuki has become a great run producer. Dansby, Hoerner and Happ are all solid contributors and now Bregman anchors the order.

Who do you think has the best lineup in the NL other than the Dodgers? If you think there is one bettter than the Dodgers I’d love to hear it.

This content is great for people who started the game late and useless for those of us who have been playing all year. I have a few hundred unopened packs. There isn’t much they can do do at this point in the game cycle to make it worth playing but as someone else mentioned, this makes run it back redundant. Legend cards would be a bit more interesting give us a reason to play.

Yes, everything you said. Team Affinity killed it for me this year. That’s always my favorite part of the game. Having a free voucher exchange and no playable content for the All Star and Finest killed this game’s momentum.

This game needs a severe overhaul in how it’s played, Diamond quest had a lot of promise but making it moments and showdowns before 2 inning game made it boring as sin.

Too 5 guesses in no order-
Juan Soto
Bobby Witt Jr
Cal Raleigh
JRam
Julio

@SaveFarris_PSN look at you with all the logic
