I still don’t understand how SDS couldn’t figure out a way to get us an all star Acuna. I know he wasn’t in the HR derby, but he still got a hit in the game.

I think that they have gone a little overboard with collections this year, they do get easier as time goes on. But at this point, unless the collection is a player you want, there are so many good cards it doesn’t matter.

Get ready for the 40-70 mega collection reward Acuna on the 27th

Who cares you got free stuff and engagement in the derby, I hope they eventually do fantasy cards one year, I know the live series upgrades work like that, but it would be fun.

You can use centerfielders in any outfield spot and the only lose the same as a secondary. Some shortstops can even play center with out the position being a secondary.

They usually do a an all star program at the end, with cards and rare rounds of the pack, my guess is Tucker and Acuna will be in that if they don’t do anything in the all star game.

college football was released, last year it got easier after that too, and it became more like the old SDS. I think, as business model it makes sense, they have a 3-4 month window where they are the number 1 game on the market, so they have to maximize that and then once the all star break hits, college football is out and they’re left with the more hard core player base, they make it easier for us.

I mean for like 45k you can get Brooks Lee and Willy Castro and you’ll be better off. I’d argue that running Chipper, Willy and Brooks is still competitive to JRam, Lindor and Ketel, and it’s about 300k cheaper.

We at the forum are hardish core players, the thing about this is, what if your some random player that comes home from work logs in and grabs a beer, matches a bot (doesn’t know they’re playing one, why would they) and puts up 25 runs, goes bed thinks they’re having an awesome night on the show, and then comes home the next the day and see that they’re banned for boosting and they have no idea why. This whole thing makes no sense.

So if I match a bot, I’m supposed to quit. For all the R2, bunt dancing, using every glitch in the game guys, where the game isn’t fun, if I matched a bot, I’d put runs up too, why not

Unless they get Brooks Lee to around 30k with packs the retro lightning will be expensive anyway.

I like it, I hope they do a program like this every month, it’s a free card, rewards and easy if you keep up. It’s something to do every other day.

They haven’t even tweeted about him yet, they usually do by now when a legend passes.

I think it’s a ping thing, I noticed when I play World Series or higher rated players they have better internet usually and it’s easier to hit, but when I play lesser rated players the game feels underwater and weird things happen, I don’t know more competitive players set the game up differently or they use lan over WiFi of what not, but I don’t think people take this into consideration.

This looks like the team affinity henchman program

I’m sure we will get a headliner, again then never tweet them out, only chase cards now

I think frustration can happen when you’re playing this game with things are out of your control. You just have to let it go. There are so many times I’ll jam my opponent and break the bat, but they have Elly or Peter with 99 speed and they get hit, steal two bases ( because you can’t throw them out) and then I don’t get the inside slider on the par like you want it and they get a seeing eye hit, score a run. Then the next inning you get up and unfortunately hit the perfect perfect with either a guy with no power and it’s easy out or it goes directly at the third baseman, then you line out twice more after squaring the ball up. Then you sit there and get upset, but you really shouldn’t because it’s just you got unlucky. But, then next game maybe you get a just late home run with Beltran to even it out.

I’d be fine if they just removed R2 when I pitch.

You can always check the topps now website and if he got a card, he might get one either this week or the future.

Worst case, you can select him when the new program starts in the rewind pack.
