Ohtani is my first and only P V right now, working towards a bunch of others that are III or IV now though

Yeah, SDS really needs to address this. I create Josh Gibson every year, and while I've having fun playing as him in RTTS to switch it up a bit, it's super frustrating to not be able to use him behind the dish.

I mean, you could wait until Friday. We are bound to get new award/sigs/primes from the mini bosses and boss cards for the 7th inning.

They are in the Faces of the Franchise and Future Stars collections

I like the idea of showdown counting towards affinity progress and I think the other way to eliminate some of the frustration in showdown would be to implement a "continue" system on bosses, kind of like continues in old school games. You get three continues each showdown run, which can be used on any boss. Each one costs 500 stubs (which is totally fair in my opinion, since showdowns pay out stubs pretty liberally). I think this would fix a mode which in my opinion is pretty close to being a perfect and super fun offline mode

The problem with giving vouchers after each mini boss is that it would dissuade people from playing the whole showdown.

Playing a full showdown takes around an hour, and you get 5 vouchers. Most people can beat the first mini boss pretty easily, and it takes around 5 minutes to beat that. So you could in theory get 5 vouchers in 25 minutes.

Yeah, moments still suck.

Hit a HR and steal a base with Larkin. But its vs the Cardinals who have almost all RHP who throw sinkers.

This one is destroying my will to live.

@janoosh said in Worth Completing for Mantle at this Point?:

Of course you do if you’re close. I’m Cole away and almost have the stubs to buy him. Plus, stubs are relatively easy to come by as you advance and you can buy whoever you want once you’re done.

I ask you this: If the coming TAs and are so good as to make Mantle not worth the price, then what good are the stubs anyway?

This is a very good point. I actually lucked out and pulled Arenado and then bought a bunch of others. Sitting on 230k with Trout, Rendon, Cole, and Chapman to go.

@ItsAllGoodMn_89 said in Worth Completing for Mantle at this Point?:

I myself was just thinking this too and was about to make a similar post. I'm sitting on 200k stubs and pretty much the only diamonds I have left are the high diamonds except Cole. So I still need an additional 500k and just thinking I'm still so far off just exhausts and annoys me. I really want Mantle but just don't really know if it's worth the long [censored] grind nowadays.

This is pretty much where I'm at. I have about 500k saved up and need Trout, DeGrom, Verlander, Cole and Scherzer. Can't decide what to do at this point.

Just wondering everyone’s thoughts on completing the collections at this point in the cycle. Obviously Mantle is still the best card in the game, and Trout should be usable (especially once baseball starts and IE is implemented).

But with the cards revealed today and the 3rd TA almost here it’s getting harder and harder to justify locking in those stubs . The power creep is real! So, people who have locked him in: would you do it again today? People who are working on it: are you still going to pursue Mantle?

I can hit them, and I did. But that’s not the point, now is it?

Edit: didn’t see any other posts on the first couple of pages. I should’ve searched. I stand by that it needs more visibility for SDS to address

Well, I just ran up against someone using all lefties in the event. How do I report this to SDS? I can post evidence here if need be.

Real talk, I’m not great, but if you gotta cheat to win at this event.....sheesh

Hey all, just wondering if anyone would like to share what pitchers they've had success with in the Moonshot event. It's obviously designed to be a HR Derby, but I just wanted to see if there were any hidden gems out there that people liked.

It would be cool if they did double affinity point weekends for MTO. I would bet that during the double affinity glitch that more people were playing MTO than at any other time since the mode was created.

While I'm not upset that they patched it, I do think they should look at the data and strongly think about making the double affinity a permanent thing (or maybe a weekend bonus or something). I bet if you looked at the numbers, more people played MTO this week than ever before. I saw way more streamers playing it, and I sure played a ton. It gives the game some nice variety to have a ton of different options.

Another thing to think about: when new players pick this game up in the summer they are going to be so far behind in the TA grind they might just ignore it all together. Making it so an MTO run on All-Star or below can at least get you past stage one TA will make more people play MTO and more people (especially new players) care about grinding TA.

So I think I’m in a freeze off. I don’t know, it’s never happened to me before:

Is there a way I can find this guys PSN to ask him to quit? Otherwise I’ll get the L correct? Also, if either of us quit will the stats still count? I was having a nice game with Oswalt. Thanks for the help

I really like the Josh Bell. Hits for power and contact from both sides.

@Catman9186 said in Stuck indoors...SDS needs to "step up to the plate":

Now that more than half of the country has been ordered to stay home such as myself in CT, SDS more then ever needs to pump out more DD material. Being stuck indoors they need to ante up the pace at which new material comes out and keep us busy and entertained.

Would be great for their business. More you can keep homebound people in the game the more likely you'll get stub purchases etc. Please keep me occupied...

Wow, don’t think this is coming across the way you want it to...

The whole country is in crisis, and that includes people at SDS. California is one of the hardest hit states. Just because most of their work is done “on computers” doesn’t mean it should be easier. Some of them have kids, some could have sick relatives.

As far as I’m concerned we are lucky to have this much content at this point in the game (more than any other I can remember at this point).

I know, you’re stuck at home and this [censored] sucks. But there’s more important things at play here. Be grateful for what you have, and for everyone who is working through this.

Never understood people who wanted to win at a baseball game so badly that they resort to....not playing baseball

First off, I love this idea so much. You think they should be sellable? Seems like it would really clutter the marketplace.

Also, that Acuna card is worth like $2000 today
