Completed Live Series for only the 2nd time in the last few years I think.
I won't use Jeter or Sosa much if at all but I have my A's collection complete so I'm excited to have this goal checked off.
Thanks for reading. Just had to share!

R.I.P. to one of the greatest ever.

Love this.
Mid 40s here and yeah, collected tons. Still have them in the garage. I still buy packs from time to time just for the nostalgia but I'm not looking for anything particular unless I happen to get somebody on my Oakland A's.
Who were some other favorites that weren't superstars but not on your team either? I was always a big Gregg Jefferies fan. Also liked Travis Fryman, Chip Hale, Turner Ward all as rookies.
When I liked someone's rookie card and they did well I was CONVINCED I would be a great scout because of that.

That would be helpful. I'm even fine with it being 15 runs or something. I don't mind losing by a few, or even a lot over 9 innings, but being destroyed by someone in the first 3 innings makes playing unfun and pointless.
I'm not wasting my next hour or so giving up 8 runs an inning for anyone's enjoyment.

Please let The Show do something special for the crazy event where Danny Jansen is playing in the continuation of a suspended game with his new team!
This is a baseball first and needs to be recognized somehow.
For those who don't know Jansen was at bat for the Jays when the game was suspended. They're finishing the game and it's been confirmed he will sub in as catcher for the Red Sox.
He will literally be playing for two teams in the same game. Actually he will be the catcher for his own at bat! baseball history!!

Rickey says that even though others are good choices, Rickey is the greatest choice. Especially if you're an Oakland A's fan

I just did all the moments. I have like 6 walks all season probably... I just don't have the patience in game.

Anyone else have someone in your starting lineup that's doing really good but you're looking forward to replacing anyway?
For example, I have incognito Molitor at 3rd 'cause not many 3rd basemen (seas. 3 eligible) excite me. Yet he's hitting around .440 for me (offline) which is really good for me. Sneaky power and speed too.
I have always respected Molitor as a person and a player but I'll be happy when I can get 99 JRam and take him out.

Also if you do a "Moment" the next time you play a game you'll have the default uniforms instead of your created one. Just play 2 games in a row and it'll fix itself.

This right here. Not using 99s almost definitely affects the control

Just wait a bit and the community here will have the list sorted.
For a lot of ppl it's a fun experience figuring it out.
I personally like the program for something different even though I may not get all the eggs.

The bright white was really annoying at first but I seem to have become used to it as it isn't affecting me as much as it was in the beginning.
I can't stand the fonts this year. Same as you I can't differentiate a lot of the numbers. It's really annoying.

I'll see your Roy Hobbs and raise you Moonlight Graham.

I miss the no DH option also. Lots more strategy involved.
My bench I always have a speed guy, an all purpose infielder, an all purpose outfielder, and a catcher.

I'm not thrilled it's just moments, but I get what they were going for with it. I'll get through them all soon enough.
If we have to do multiple innings with our team though I'd like to see those stats count towards parallel and TA stuff as well. It feels wasted to play all that and not have it count

Definitely. All the new metrics have their place but there's something to be said for the basics too. It's really disappointing when a guy hits over .300 one year and is out of the league the next because of underlying metrics. You can't convince me that he doesn't have more value than rotating through multiple players hitting .215 or some such.

Franchise is my main goal in buying this game every year. Gotta take my A's to the Series!

And let's not forget Fallout 76. That was a train wreck right at the beginning as I recall.

I haven't even pulled a gold player yet.
