There's a 10% tax that the sell now doesn't account for.

You'll have to play a lot if you want to hit 300 without showdown.

The player programs will be similar to the one they release tomorrow. Last month they had ones for Kaline and Posada for reference.

The vouchers are attained my completing the moments

Do you have to complete all of them to get the 15 point voucher or does each boss card get you a voucher?

You have to do all of the moments in order to get the voucher for the +15. There was a bug with the Corbin moments so they had to do this as a work around. I believe the Zimmerman moments gave you x experience per moment but all of the newer ones (Corbin, Anderson and Glasnow) are all or nothing.

You can change the difficulty before the playoffs. So if you want to start on HoF you can and then drop down if you need to. For reference, I'd consider my self average to below average and I handled All-Star with zero effort with the White Sox.

Good thread guys. Quick question, I played my first showdown today the 3rd inning one. I have not played any others because I hate playing the computer. Anyway my question is I played all the way through which took over an hour, but I’m not good enough to go right in down 15-0. So it was 15-10 for the final challenge and I beat it with like 15 or 16 outs left from 20. It took a while but I thought it was fairly easy. Is the other showdowns harder for team affinity points or the same? I’m assuming they are much harder because I always see everyone complaining. Thx

From my experience, it's entirely based on who YOU hit well/poorly against. I have had relatively good success in showdowns except for the NL Central, which most people say is quite easy. I was constantly getting shut down by Jack Flaherty in the second boss battle. I've hit him well online/ conquest but for some reason, I couldn't handle him in the showdown moment. That being said, I decided to play up to his boss battle and sim directly into the final moment vs. Hader which I find laughably easy. I've beat this moment 6 consecutive times now with ease, usually going into the moment down 15-9 or 15-8.

Keep in mind you should get a program star for every 3 innings you play (at least that's how it used to work) so if you keep playing events or ranked season or offline you should be able to rack up the points. But if you don't want to sink time into playing, you likely won't be able to get there entirely based off of new missions alone.

If you beat a player with a higher rating than you, you will get more points. If you beat a player with a lower rating than you, you will get less points. I do not believe the severity in which you won/ lost affects how many points you gain or lose. The higher up in the rankings you get, the less points you receive after each win but I think this is more to do with ratings being closer/ playing someone lower than you because the amount of players present at the higher levels is substantially smaller. So your point about all-star vs. wild card has some merit, though not for the reasons you're trying to suggest.

Ok, thank you!

You're welcome.

I also remember the innings bosses being sold for WAY more than they are this year. I can remember rushing to finish the program that had Alomar so that I could sell him for like 80k. Now you're lucky to have it finished in time to get 45k for the boss. Granted part of that is they're not 99's, but you could basically trade an innings boss for a top 7-4 diamond last year. I've had some pretty incredible pack luck this year and I'm still a good ways away (Verlander, Cole and Trout) away from finishing the live series collections. I'm pretty sure I had Mays last year during the 4th inning with worse pack luck.

Or Evo Pudge and the XP reward Posey.

@nos_4_a2_ said in Potm out of position stats:

So I'm playing gavin lux at ss and I think the hit extra bases with short stops mission isn't counting cause hes originally 2nd and technically out of position for me. Am I crazy and the stats haven't counted yet? Or is this a thing? And if so, how cheesy.

It's definitely a thing. The good news is that if you're upset with this being "cheesy" you can cheese the game right back and put a SS primary in any other position and have multiple players contribute towards your mission. Most SS can play either 2nd or 3rd and some can even play the outfield as a secondary position.
