@cermixalot1 said in Stop undercutting the market:
It is my problem when a player has a value that averages 800 stubs and people drop the price to 500 within 5 sell orders.
Leave it at 800 and it should eventually correct itself. If not, it was overpriced and the people selling at lower prices were right.
Either an awful troll job, or the worst idea imaginable.

Was there an announcement or leak that you mentioned the 28th?

Thank you for that. When I see "the chase", I can only think of Sosa/McGwire...
I'm enjoying the "single shot HR" terminology.
I dont know how people spend their stubs on packs, lol.
Leave the price, it will sell eventually. If not, it was overpriced anyway.

The guy is trash.. Gets shelled every time I try to use him. I love spending 140K on a card that isn't even useable. But some guy from 1940 is apparently better then the best pitcher in baseball. get out over here with this trash. Make live series cards useable
Believe it or not, guys from 1940 can be pretty good too. They can even be in the HOF.

At this point, may as well give every MLB player a diamond card. Future stars, Topps Now, Postseason, and now Finest for every team. Overkill of non deserving players.
I'm fine with special circumstances ie no hitters, or postseason hero cards. I'm even fine with finest as a "team of the year" type reward. But to go the All Star Game participation route and just give every team a high diamond is dumb.
If you ask me though there is at least one player from every team except for pittsburgh that has a good enough season to warrant a finest card though
Remember all the complaining that Joe Carter got a 93 rated boss card? Not deserving, is what I heard many times. Carter hit the walkoff WS HR that will live forever. Brosseau got a 97 rated card for a walkoff in the ALDS. Semien gets a 98 rated card, and Molitor still sitting with a 96. He was WS MVP and hit .500 with 1.000 slugging. That's not even mentioning that Molitor inexplicably never got a Brewers card.
Lee Smith was all time saves leader at one point. John Franco is 5th all time. Their career cards apparently arent worthy of a higher rated card than 2020 postseason relievers.
Now we will get hugely inflated cards from a 60 game season that will be better in attributes than Babe Ruth or higher rated than Whitey Ford. I would say that what we have seen with inflating non deserving cards has been extremely overboard.

Trying to get the new Topps Now moments complete Tatis is overrated with his 46 vision and the challenge is rigged anyway I have been walked 37 times in a row because I refuse to swing the bat CPU will not pitch in the zone
Try swinging then.
hey dummy are you gonna swing at everything even if it's outside the zone uh no dumb dumb
If getting walked doesn't help at all then yes.
This. I've never understood players that say they get walked during moments. A walk does you no good, so I dont care where the pitch is when I have a 3 ball count, I'm swinging. I've completed plenty of moments on pitches out of the strike zone.
LOLOLOLOLOL.
Seriously, this madness needs to end.

Well Bellinger started the season on the DL and only recently returned. There is no reason to have him lowered now. If he struggles then yes but need more then a few games to change. It's based on 3 year average and Cody has been pretty solid over the last 3 years
He wasnt too great last year either. He had a .789 OPS. He has an OPS of .756 if you combine this year and last year, along with a combined 1.7 WAR. Those numbers dont jump out as 90+ rating. He was very good in 2019 though.
Yelich had a better 2019 offensively and better OPS the past 2 seasons than Bellinger, and has been downgraded to an 85. I get that defense plays a factor in this as well, with that category going strongly to Bellinger.
I do think it's a fair question being asked.
Bellinger is a better fielder and has a better arm than Yelich and probably a bit faster. Look at all attributes
I am, that's why I mentioned defense. But the main point is that his offense has dramatically fallen over the past 2 seasons, yet his overall hasn't.
I just look at his stats, he has been pretty good since 2017, Last year his overall his numbers were down.
https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/bellico01.shtml if they are going by the last Three year and still using 2017 for players since last year was shorten then he still deserves the 90 overall
Yelich was MVP in 2018, and was arguably better in 2019. He also has had the same offensive decline the past 2 seasons. I'm only bringing him up as a point to highlight that I think the OP has a legitimate question in asking if Bellinger shouldnt still be a gatekeeper in rating.

@cobain93_psn said in 3rd Inning Showdown:
Any reason to do this if you already maxed out XPs for 3rd inning?
4 standard packs and a small amount of stubs would be all you are playing for at that point.

6/16 - BP P vs Phils
2 innings without a run
AS for 1All star? Lol with my ballplayer ? That’s fun
Cant go a couple days without having another CAP daily moment. This is just stupid.
I guess I need to use this Marichal card vs the CPU more often. Between this moment, and the program moments, he still hasn't allowed a hit for me, with the only runner reaching on a dropped flyball in the last program moment I tried. Cards play differently for everyone, but this one just works for me I guess.

Anybody here play Tony Larussa Baseball on the Genesis? That was the first baseball game I played that was more of a true simulation experience. I appreciated all the stats it allowed for.
I did not care for that game
Im curious what didn't you like about it?
That was the first game that had the flyball shadow that showed how high/where the ball path was, as well as wind influencing flight path of the ball. Now every baseball game has those, but it was innovation at the time. I also liked how it let you choose to play in, shallow, deep, shift, and all the defensive alignments that other games didnt.

My Dad had a couple of old games that I played when I was younger. Strat-o-matic, electronic baseball, and this beauty that I haven't seen since I was a little kid:
