Up until a few years ago I basically only did franchise mode, with my hometown team Brewers. I tried DD in '19 and I got hooked on it. It was great. Idk why but for whatever reason I just can't get into it this year like the past few years. Idk if it's the way they did the programs or what but I just don't have the urge to grind for stuff this year.

The other night I got off work and the wife and kids were gone and I was planning on finally playing into the night, but I played a few games and I was like meh and turned it off. I mean, I literally just spent 75K of my hard earned stubs (especially this year!) on a 50 Pack just for the heck of it and I never spend stubs on packs! In case you were wondering I pulled 0 diamonds and only 2 golds in the whole bundle. Only diamond I got was a Salvy from the extra pack you get with the 50 bundle.

Anyways this is my rant, I'm excited to get my Brewers chise going! Go Crew!

One of the most unreal second halves I've seen. In 2008 the Brewers went all in to try to make the playoffs for the first time since 1982. They traded their top prospect at the time Matt LaPorta and prospect Michael Brantley (who obviously has turned out to have a pretty good career) - but it was oh so worth the few month rental of Sabathia to carry us to our first playoffs since '82.

Dude was a workhorse. Pitched 130 innings (sometimes going back out there on a couple days rest). Went 11-2, and had 128 Ks with a 1.65 ERA (7 complete games, 125 stamina anyone?) - just in the second half. If that doesn't deserve a second half card, idk what does?! As you can tell, I'm obviously a huge Brewers fan but this would be a great, well deserving, card.

There is no way.

The game is so garbage. I sold it to Game Stop. I got a whole $7 dollars. I got a steal deal. It is only worth the toilet paper I wipe my back-end with.

Yet you are taking time out of your Saturday to come to a forum about said game and comment on it? lol

I was waiting for... "But then I got high!" - Afro man reference. You young ones wouldn't understand.

IMO no matter what DeGrom does, he wont get one until later on. It has to be Schwarber 100%.

I've bought and played every year of The Show that has come out. I used to be basically solely a Franchise player. Would always do two, one with my Brewers and one with a fantasy drafted team and switch between the two when I got a little bored. Started DD last year and am addicted. lol

I think we can all agree to not post about bad servers for a day once we have a day without bad servers.

Yes we get how bad the servers are. That does not mean we have to hear about it from tons of different posts.

It is annoying, but just don't click on it then lol.

You looking for them to start a TheShowPlayersMeet.com? what the heck?! What a weird post, lol.

Well, I'm def not biting on this first one. LS is not worth it at ALL. They're goona get suckers that get it though.

I currently have LF Gibson/ CF Edmonds/ RF AS Mookie

I MUCH prefer pitching moments over hitting moments.

Headliner packs are the absolute worst for me. I never get anything from those.

I pulled Tatis last night from a common pack, but prior to that my best pull was Trea Turner twice.

Anyone use him? How do you like him?

Yeah I still need about the top 6 cards to complete. Idk, I have 400K stubs. Not sure if I should get Trout and slowly chip away at the rest or just get a bunch of good players to strengthen my current team.

Will Trout's price go down at all do you think? I know it won't drastically but I still need him.

Do you think his price will go down?

So, I FINALLY had a good pull last night. I pulled LS Tatis. Haven't had the luck of pulling Trout, Ohtani, Degrom, Acuna etc. I have all LS collections done except 5 teams - The Mets, Braves, Angels, Padres, Guardians. You get the point, only need the last big dog players. Anyways, do you suggest I just lock in Tatis now or sell him and sell off some other non LS players and I'd probably almost have enough to get Trout. I am not in a hurry for the Brett collection, would rather get the LS done first. Thoughts?

For reference, my current lineup is:

2B - AS Betts
RF - MVP Kirk Gibson
LF - ROY Pujols
3B - POTM Devers
1B - MA Pete Alonso
C - 96 Mauer
SS - FS Peraza
CF - FS Garrett Mitchell

LS Burnes is my favorite. My current rotation is:

Mussina
Halladay
Bobby Miller
D-Train
Burnes
