Been playing since 21. I feel like I just beat Elden Ring.

Anyway, this post is for all you middle aged career family peeps. It is possible to complete with these young-uns!

Looking to Build a lineup that meets at least 3 of the criteria to get this done quicker. Figured I'd start a running list with Everyone to help out. Also, if anyone finds any other players, please Post and Share.

The criteria for those that haven't seen it yet is 20 HR from each of these cats:

Live
Captain
Switch Hitters
Players from States or Countries that start with "M"
Short kings 5'10" or less
Tall kinks 6'04" or taller
players with less than 75 power. (I'm assuming from both sides although have not tested this yet)

So far, here is what I got with how many cats they fill next to them...

Captain Alejandro Kirk = 4
Live JRam = 4
Captain Jimmy Rollins = 3
Rock Tim Raines = 3
Future Stars Sal Frelick = 3
Live Ha-Seong Kim = 3
Captain Tony Clark = 3
Captain Ryan Howard = 3
Live Adley Rutschman = 3
Live Jonah Heim = 3
Live Wander Franco = 3
Live Bryan Reynolds = 3

That's all I got for now. If anyone finds any other players with 3 or more, please post. We can keep a running tally.

Love scooping these up for 15 -25 k. These will be worth easily 10x when the Wagner collection rolls out. Thanks again!

I would avoid playing online if I was you. Maybe stick to the offline grind or RTTS

If I was you I'd avoid being a douche... kid.

Listen guy, you could have every card in the game and it won’t make a difference. Welcome to the show rookie

Listen guy, what did I tell you about being a douche. Your obviously a condescending troll who brings no value to this forum. Goodbye from the show Felicia.

Ha... wasn't exactly the tip I was looking for but thanks

Seriously, what is the point? If you are going to quit, fine, lose gracefully and wait till the HR counts. I would have all my peeps prestiged by now if it wasn't for you fools.

Freakin annoying!!!

The show market vs the stock market is the equivalent of pre-K arithmetic vs advanced calculus.

@Oachs83 said in Getting destroyed since using PS5:

I have yet to win a game and I’m absolutely overmatched. I went from 750 (last game on PS4) to low 600s in a blink of an eye. I have never ever striked out so much in the last three years. On HOF level it’s near impossible to hit. Allstar feels like HOF.

On average on HOF online I’m around 5 strikeouts and 1 or 2 SOs on Allstar. Now I’m closer to 10 on Allstar and my last HOF game was 16!!!! I have no idea what’s going on? I’ve checked my settings and play with a monitor and it’s getting to the point it’s downright unplayable for me.

On Allstar I use to think the pitches were so slow and now they’re at HOF speed for me. Anyone else experienced this? I’m usually an upper 800 and will make WS if I put in the effort type player. Now 600 ranked guys are mopping the floor with me.

I'm in the same boat, but still have my old ps4. Made Championship series for the first time last RS, and now sitting in the 500's. Funny thing is I'm 8-2 in the HOF event and all games are like 1-0 / 3-2 / etc. NO ONE can hit in that event. I think they have done something with the sliders across the board.

Oh and I got destroyed by a 600 player last night. The whole time I'm saying this person has to be in the high 700's only to find out he was barely 600. So either I just suck all of a sudden or their is a fresh crop of highly skilled players.

It does bring comfort to know I'm not the only one though!

At least SDS got this right.

@t00muchham_xbl said in Ty for selling your rare BR and WS cards!:

Will completing current collections help or will I have to build another catalogue of cards to collect for those collections?

It's crazy how much content comes out.

Best advice is to collect as much as you can right now to stay ahead of the game. When the end game prize drops, which it will, you will be in a great position. Last year, you did not have to have all of the collections 100% but the majority... say 75%. There were a couple of collections that went insane, namely the Veteran collection and cards that went for 10k went for 500k. I'm not saying it will be the same this year, but more than likely their will be a collection that is more rare than the next.

Point being... while the majority are selling their rare cards to pick up the next pick thing, capitalize and buy the cards that are the most rare. Might have to wait a bit, but it will be worth it.

@dontred0nme_xbl said in Why do you bunt cheese:

Not talking about actually bunting the pre bunt swing gurbage.

Just wondering. What do think it accomplishes

Nothing, except being a douche. Just know if they're dancing they're terrible at the game

@MrGamebred said in Market question:

Curious what you guys think is going to happen in the coming week or two with POTM and TA4 coming, for the market.

Are we thinking crash? Or are we thinking it continuously rises with the speculation of another collection/insane amount of stubs in circulation?

Stub sale coming soon possibly too? Can’t remember when they ran the last one in the past.

I’ve sold off some cards, so knowing my luck we can expect everything to go way up lol.

Stub sales always inflate the market. So good time to sell if one is coming. TA4 will spike the market substantially and especially if there is a stub sale at the same time, which would make sense for SDS to capitalize as much as possible. I'm loading up on cheap diamonds 88 or higher and less than 5500. You can always quick sell for 5k to hedge risk. Same thing with golds, especially 84's, silvers etc.... Been stockpiling the hell out of silvers, mainly to complete my own TA4's. You can do some simply math and buy 79's for less than 500, it takes 10 79's in the exchange so roughly 5k to get 10 points to complete. I'd stock pile now, because once TA4 comes out it will be much more expensive.

I love Kershaw. Key to using him correctly is his slider.

@ikarus92_ said in Why?:

This is my first year playing this game. Why do I get nerfed some games and my perfect pitches get sucked down the middle or off the plate? Or I straight up line up a ball and it dies at or before the warning track? Why is the script like score 3 runs in the 1st and then all the sudden balls are coming in a million miles an hour? Like its forcing me to walk players or killing my ability to hit hr's with 125 pwr? Is this dda, rng? It's my first year playing, I have two accounts in the 800's, but I hit this wall where it's like its throttling me or a governor turned on. Maybe 1st and last year.

Young grasshopper, you are not a Jedi yet.

I get it, its HOF but feels more like legend. Im 3-0 and all 3 were 1-0 games. My perf/perf are probably around .300 and good/good forget about it. I guess its good for prestiging pitchers.

Love scooping these up for 15 -25 k. These will be worth easily 10x when the Wagner collection rolls out. Thanks again!

@lischynski_psn said in Ty for selling your rare BR and WS cards!:

Is there a list of BR and WS cards out there? Would like to buy a few with the little stubs I have

Easiest way I've found is operation sports and search battle royal and ranked season rewards. cheapest ones right now is WS season 1 Fielder and Ryan. For BR you have Soler, Clemente 93 and Reggie Jackson.

Have no idea why Schmidt is going for the insane price tag and he's sold for 450k a handful of times in the last couple of days, but gives you an idea of what these cards will go for. More than likely peeps filling their collection.. not about usability more about rarity.

Man, I'm not done with Mo or LS and y'all are preparing and buying dupes.

haha... yes I'm picking up dupes for pennies on the dollar. LS collection can be a biznatch.... good luck to ya bud.

Thanks. It's tough since I don't have the best pack luck and I can never save enough to be good at flipping.

If it makes you feel better, I am no money spent and finally pulled a Trout this year after playing for 3 years. Made my LS collection a lot easier so got it done early. In the absence of pulling Trout I've gotten really good a flipping cards with a minimal amount of time.

Could you do a lesson on flipping, think it could help some people who want the bigger cards with no money spent

Sure.... It's pretty simple really. You want to find the cards that are close to quick sell value that you know will have an impact on a collection. I made a ton on the season 1 BR gold and silvers, but probably the best example is Topps Now.

If you look at the history, then you know you HAVE TO complete the collection in order to get the POTM. The early Topps Now are not as pertinent as the late Topps Now, because peeps get in a rush and don't want to put in the time. Therefore you focus on the last 2 weeks of the POTM collection and buy as many as you can.

In the last run I bought 50x each of Santillan and Casali at avg 5.2k and held firm at 10k with some on the high side for fun. Same with Sano an Urias, although they were like 8k and bought 20x each, but sold for 20k.

Lastly, if you have the time, you don't need to do all that. you can simply buy and sell based on the margins. I probably made 1M stubbs just flipping outside my initial investment. If cards are moving fast and you see a margin, you buy a card for 15k, sell it for 20k - 10% and you just made 3k.

Hope this helps!

@ivanthejet_psn said in Need tips for flipping stubs:

I’m sitting at 170k stubs at the moment, and would like to know your strategy when it comes to flipping stubs. And what you would suggest I do. My goal is to have enough stubs to last until end game.

I posted some tips in this thread "TY FOR SELLING YOUR RARE BR AND WS CARDS!"

Best time to flip is when a collection, packs or flash sale drops. That's when the margins tend to increase or you can buy cards at the bottom.
