My internet is down from a bad storm. I planned on grinding these last few days of the inning program to reach 650. If I play Road to the Show or Offline Franchise would the XP be added on when I get back online? Or is it a moot thought to try to earn XP while offline?

Happens every game vs. CPU (conquest, too) with a speedster on first. At times, with someone 60 and above. It is annoying because they do two quick pitches and a pitch out, always, before finally throwing a real pitch. Steal or nor no steal. It is time consuming and unrealistic to have three quick steps and a pitch out during every at bat with a runner on first. I agree with OP.

I like Showdown. I also agree there is an absurd amount of WTF moments happening with the computer and fielding. I just shake my head at the absurdity and then insert another quarter.

The sliders are still WAY up though. You can see a vast difference between stage 1 & 2 now that they are "technically" the same difficulty.

I agree, absolutely, that Trout is worth selling now to build a dominant team. The price is too high not to be tempted.

I packed 6 today. No joke. My best pull was CJ Cron. Who needs Trout when you have Cron at first base and Jack Morris on the mound.

I like playing events over any other online mode because it is generally more casual. A loss is a loss. It doesn't knock you down a tier, like Ranked. It doesn't cost money, like BR (though I do enjoy BR this year). However, this event sucks. It is catered to the elite. I don't understand why they made this event. Usually SDS adjusts and releases packs or cards that are event based (like a program) and easily accessible. Not now though. Every single team has Ohtani pitching and FS Bohm batting cleanup. I could care less about how one fields their team. If they grind their time for great cards or buy them. To each their own. I just think events should be more evenly matched based on available cards within circulation. I mean, they just released FS Affinity on Friday and every single event team I play is stacked with them. I kid you not, every team is a God squad of FS cards! Every team. Do they ever play each other, I wonder? Or do they hope to match up with suckers like me that has all gold prospects and the occasional diamond just trying to grind a few online dailies? I really don't get the reason I keep seeing Bohm though. I thought that was the only purpose for the event grind? I digress though.

How do you hit Ohtani? Directional? Close your eyes and hit X? WTF is he a glitch or what?

In short, this event sucks! I have absolutely no intent on playing the next one either. I would never use Lux or Bohm anyway (though I could use the stubs from a sell).

I think, in the end, this event sucks because it is 6 innings. 6 innings of nerfed minor league player[censored]ting dingers off my gold/common pitcher.

Fun times.

I haven't been paying much attention to these marketplace prospect cards yet, outside of Affinity. Are there any good ones I should have my eye on? (I am referring to good cards, i.e., plays well in this game, not necessarily good players.)

I just got an X after a win too. Was wondering why. Guess I got booted between screens. That sucks we get the loss from an error.

Do you think an Anthony Gose pitching card would also include his 90 speed?

His fastball ha[censored] 100 this spring.
