I'm going to disagree with you on this one. In fact being in the AL would have the added advantage of him being a DH here and there to give his body a break from either fielding or pitching. I have a feeling next year ot won't even matter when the NL adopts the DH.

@ericulous1_psn said in Favorite Cards that nobody talks about....:

Obviously we know the universal greats like Chipper, Mookie, Jackie, Acuna, Degrom,Vlad Sr. and many other killer cards. Who do you enjoy using that not very many people talk about.

Hitters-
Lou Brock 97 Milestone- This card is what inspired this post. Somebody created a post talking about how good this card is and I was surprised that so many people agreed. His ability to fly around the bases, hit triples, yank the ball over the right field wall etc are amazing. He's so consistent for me.

Andrew McCutchen 98 Signature- I almost didn't use this but for fun, put together a team of new cards around the time we got him on daily moments. In my first 20 ABs, I hit 7 HRs and hit .600, he hasn't slowed down much since. Plus he has good (not great) speed.

Albert Pujols 97 2nd Half- he's wearing the wrong number, his swing isn't accurate and it's not the 99 he deserves (though I'm sure he'll get his) but the dude destroys righties and lefties equally. He also has a great glove which people overlook in a first baseman. Can't wait to see how his 99 plays.

Kris Bryant 97 Award-quick bat, hits bombs to the opposite field when I'm late on pitches. For some reason when I have 2 outs and nobody on, he is always up and always comes through with an xbh.

Old school 42s
Max Muncy, Yordan Alvarez, Trent Grisham, Larry Doby. I realize nobody uses 42s (except Jackie 99) anymore but every once in a while I throw these guys out there for team missions and they are home run machines.

Those are just as few that come to mind. I'll add some pitchers in a bit. Who are yours?

Brock for sure and that McCutch is a sleeper . Here's another one for ya, Tori Hunter Awards rakes as well as solid defense.

@mrad2010_xbl said in This game helped me during some difficult times.:

In December 2020 I was taken to the hospital with liver failure and respitory failure. I had my transplant on Christmas Eve and came out of my induced coma a day after Christmas. They lost me twice during the surgery. After the surgery I had a lot of difficulties. I had very little strength. I had tubes in my throat and other places, I had to learn to walk again. I didn't actually get out of John Hopkins Hospital until the end of February. That was 3 long,hard months during Covid protocol with no guests or family, I was depressed and hurting. When I finally got home in begining of March I had to rehabilitate at home and get my strength back. Not long after getting home this game was released. With not being able to work and get out of the house a lot this game was a blessing, Ive wanted to play the show for a long time but I'm an Xbox player so this was our first year playing it. I grew up playing baseball at a somewhat high level. I made all state as a kid and played college ball. I never was good enough to make the pros and I realized that in college, I might've been able to play minor league like a few of my friends but I focused on life outside of baseball. Back to this game though. It really helped me ease my mind from all the stress I had been going through. It also helped me get my hand eye coordination and memory a bit sharper than it was, I know a lot of people are frustrated with this game but honestly I can't complain. This game has been a blessing for me. On a brighter note, I've come a long way, I'm back to walking like normal and feeling mostly healthy. So Im thankful to have a game I actually enjoy and can relax and play. Finding things you enjoy in life are important. Not everything in life is rainbows and butterflies.

Keep on doing exactly what you are. That mindset is Golden and light and energy manifests. 🤟

@ccarr77_psn said in Got locked in quick menu and my opponent was still pitching to me:

I was looking for a pinch hitter when it told me to wait for my opponent. Next thing you know I couldn't back out and I could hear strikes being called. No bueno.

Happened to me 2 days ago. I was winning by a nice margin at that. No Bueno indeed!
