isn't this pretty much Parallel?
If I'm remembering right these were special programs where you'd earn several different cards, rather than paralleling just one.
Yup was a cargo pudge and I can’t recall the last one if there was one, maybe a first baseman I think. Was a ton of fun earning that 90 somethibg card after grinding the low tier. Also was a choice pack that you eventually earned all three over time
Due to a slew of new additions, I’m struggling to find out my new lineup. I was rocking chipper Dh wright at third elly ss, Jose at 2b, vlad at first, then Corbin mantle and hank. Now with marte, Riley, jeter I’m wondering if I should switch some people out and maybe try Riley at first and marte at 2b with Jose at 3b.
Randy Arozerana, acuna and Griffey hopefully by the end of the day for me. So with this new flux of players and people finishing collections I’m wondering how people’s lineups are shaping up.
@TheGoaler_PSN said in whats the deal with live series cards:
This is so true.
Maybe that's why they're CORE cards, or no one would have use for them this late.
I've never been so far away from completing the Live series this late, so I don't even value them anymore. I'm dumbfounded at my pack luck this year.
It was pure curiosity like oh Edwin is 130k let’s see trout and the boys…. Lol all like 70-90k. I was shocked. I feel they have to see the usage of jeter and others is at an all time low
They updated it lol
im just thinking who else would play cf over him for me. maybe ketel but he plays cf for me. austin hendrick is a option that ive been thinking more about but trout is still extremmely usable for me
hes a solid 5-7 hitter for me. bats like 390 and has had a ton of doubles and fair amount of home runs. as someone says he plays against anyone espeically on HOF and legend. I also like high contact and with 80's power thats more than enough especially with laughing mountain being easier than shippet ever was to hit a homerun

ive hadd a suprisingly few amount of extra innings,and even somehow managed to go 12-1 and get mookie. using speed guys is key. I liked it more than moonshoot tbh
wrong mode smh
lmao ikr, but I stay away from BR mostly since its so toxic. went 9-0 a few weeks ago and got a message from ppl I beat at their own creative field (which they drafted to with dreadful fielders out of position but high power due to the dimensions being a joke) just spamming me and all that. I ennded up going I think 11-2 and still got messaged after losing complaining I didnt lose well? idk but BR and the players and state of the game just not something im about

I agree a lot less packs, but you cant complain about lack of pulling good cards.. its an odds game. I think not having a boss to sell makes it also very tough to afford things and playing a game of ranked earns 20 coins lol
listen a lot of ppl will say practice mode which would help but thats boring so I dont blame you if you dont. so I say is get a routine pre pitch I do a full circle some ppl dance the pci others dont move it. also if im "off" I certainly over move the low pitch so im under it and dont catch up to the high pitch. so during a pre pitch ill lower my pci like a practice just like this is how far I have to move it thats it and do that a few times and it helps. a lot of it is thinking less is more when it comes to moving the thing bc myseslf and many others here get amped up seeing a meaty pitch and pci goes straight down. really it is practice but just think you have to move it a lot less than you think to get where you need to go
I open them since if you plan on selling then you get the most for players now, that being said just pulled a double diamond from one pack: vida blue and walker buehler
I think its one the best new features they put in, I get to use my DD offline to earn decent rewards at 10k stubs at the least, and close to 20 packs. that is playing on veteran and just flying through games and the seasons. not sure what a better alternative could be but this is so much betterr than stealing fans and all that seen on conquest
missions in general suck but after playing extreme moments in 2020, I can tolerate these ones. ( the moments im referring too: I believe 3 HR with gehrig on HOF/legend and yelich 2 or 3 HR on legend or HOF as well)... mind you these moments are for the month so take a break if you get stuck on them
id say webb, he just throws a heavy ball thats tough to hit.
I mean is it annoying yeah but whatever, theyre just wanting the program rewards and I mean for 10 dollarss.... 
I dont play other sports games, but I believe my friend told me for fifa and or 2k that when playing coop you can earn rewards. would that be something the community enjoys?
I dont think the rewards should be spectacular but possibly packs for innings played, hits, strikeouts etc..
I enjoy coop, but at the same time why not party up with my friends and we both play games that offer an incentive like events, royale, ranked etc
if you plan on that long, imo I go FOTF. he will consistently be better for longer, live series will offer some days of him being a better hitter but little else

IMO, Zito's curve was not all that great. Max Fried has the same curveball style. I think Kerry Wood or Verlander had the best curves. Curves that are thrown hard with late bite is difficult to pick up. But I'm excited about Leiter. He looked legit in college.
IMO, the pitch you’re describing is what a slider is intended for. A well thrown, slower 12-6 can really eff with a batters timing and straight up make major league batters look silly. Nothing against the power curve, but if you’re going with a curve and a slider, give me the slower curve to mix up speed differentials.
literally what I was thinking, playing throughout my life you could be timed for a fastball and a hard power curve you could hold hands back and flick it through the 5 hole ... a slow loopy zito esque CB??? youre sitting one or the other not both
Or you can just look fastball and react to a loopy curve. Because you know that 75mph curve isn’t blowing by you. Hard curves start with a similar plane as a fastball. Pretty hard to keep hands back and balanced when it’s too late picking up the spin.
just was my personal take as a D1 outfielder but sure okay.
I've played D1 as well. So yeah, I have a decent understanding as well. Zito's curve never made him a strike out pitcher.
I mean he placed top 10 in ks 3x times and was at or above league average k/9 but sure
Zito averaged 4-5 K's per start. The dude did not have a strike out pitch. His curve wasn't fooling too many players.
so outside your opinion, and ignoring my facts based on his career stats including the at or above league average for k/9 and was top 10 in k/s including top 5 2x time? I mean if were just ignoring things and just making statements with no back up then ok man, sure he wasnt,
