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.

Yay, a new conquest map today!

Vladdy is #1 for sure. For me at least.

Imo it's Mookie

Looking at buying him but haven't heard much about him, good or bad. Thoughts?

He's good for an inning or so, if you mix well. Everyone knows he throws that super slow looping curveball so they all wait for it. You have to make your change ups look like curves and mix in fastballs to really throw people off. Slider could use more break, but I don't ever throw it in the zone just tunnel it with outside pitches.

So probably not worth the 560K price tag?

IMO:

1. The Show
2. 2K
3. Fifa
4. NHL
5. Madden

I mean, he is one of the best pitchers in the game and he's easy to acquire so basically everyone has him. Also, it's just partly bad luck since you basically have to alternate starting pitchers because of stamina.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring

I'm not getting Thome bc I just don't care enough to. I got the Yadi evolution for my Cardinals squad and that's good enough for me.

I have not even finished that yet.

I have not played in over a week, probably my longest break and it may last a while if I even go back at all. Not sure if there is any content that will drag me back, and that is not because I have not enjoyed it or think that it sucks. 6 months is a good run for me and i have simply burned myself out some.

Same. It was a fun year, but my enjoyment has gone down for sure.

Awesome game this year and DD has been a blast. I found my self playing less and less the last few weeks though and finally gave in and got Madden. Just started my fantasy draft franchise last night and I probably won't be playing much of The Show anymore this year. I'll still play some but not non stop grinding like I have been up until this point.

I seriously cannot understand for the life of me why anyone would care? Is this a subtle jab about how "bad the game is"? Madden is absolute dogsh*t, enjoy!

I mean it's a forum, to discuss stuff lol. I love The Show, have played it since the very first one and MVP before that etc. I have put idk how many hours into it but it was insane and my team is insane but I just am not into it as much lately. Not a "jab" at all. It's far more superior than Madden. I just get more into football once football season starts. It's hard for me to get into baseball as much once the season is over.
