Can’t stand kyle 🤮

Ok thanks. I tried looking it up and got confused. Just wanted to check on here too so thanks

Hey guys, I’ve been having horrible stick drift on my Ps5 and have tried everything but it keeps happening. I’m thinking about switching to the new Xbox series X but I don’t want to lose all my progress and stubs. I own almost every card on the ps5 and wondered if everything could transfer over to my new Xbox account if I get one? Thanks for the help

voucher only for me. hes not very good imo

I don’t think you do. These guys are bots man. Every time I string together some wins I face one of these guys and get humbled Everytime. Idk maybe someone better on here can tell you how, but for me you can chalk it up as an L everytime

Man I had two buy orders in on him during that crash but only 1 went thru.

No. Only if u needed him for another collection. Ohtani has given up so many runs for me that having his bat in the lineup isn’t even worth it

my ohtani has been getting blasted.

Pretty lackluster BR rewards tbh

They haven’t announced the other 99 though. So maybe that will be a beast. I loved Posadas lock in card so kind of exciting to see his stats. I agree pitchers are meh tho.

I use slamtana right now so this posada would not likely be an upgrade over Carlos unfortunately.

I got a crapload of stubs so I hope for reasons to spend them lol

He would be an upgrade in every single category on the hitting side. Defense will be conparable.

ya he should be a huge upgrade over santana

If your just playing casually and want the ability and stubs to buy the new guys that will come out in future releases then no. You could build an amazing team with all the new guys out now. But when you see the new big collection player drop he’s gonna be really enticing and your best chance at doing those collections are if you finish the live collection because you get so many cards from it that will go in that set. Basically it comes down to that. Chipper is amazing and my best player, but honestly you could get by without having him for sure. All comes down to if you want to do the big collection and be a collector of all the cards. If your not sure, then I’d just say no. Save your stubs and have the ability to buy all these new awesome cards that will drop, but just don’t get excited about any new big collection guy if you haven’t done the live one bcuz that’s priority.

With all the new content that has dropped over the past few days, I felt like sharing what I believe to be the best team in DD right now. I'll mention a few pros/cons per player and also a few honorable mentions down below.

Small disclaimer before someone checks out my record to decide whether how much weight they wanna attribute to my opinion (weird phenomenon, but that's how people roll and I get it): my record is 0-0 so save yourself some time. I'm solely dedicated to BR until I move to the US later this year, where I'll once again pick up my RS game. I do play friendlies on legend almost daily, so I know how the game plays online above all-star difficulty. Most who have been around here for a while know that I'm a skilled and experienced player, so that's that.

Also, these are just my opinions. If you disagree or prefer a different player that's totally fine. I would always advise anyone to use a player you perform well with instead of a player someone else recommended.

With that out of the way, here we go:

Catcher: 98 J.T. Realmuto (not the TA3 card, but the one from the AS pack)
A lot of people will probably have Kyle Schwarber here, which is understandable based on the offensive attributes. Schwarber has the better bat. The Catcher Pop Time quirk is a game changer to me though, because you will shut down any run or speed cheese game with Realmuto behind the dish. His offensive attributes are also very balanced and his swing is fantastic. To me he is the most balanced catcher in the game right now.

First Base: 99 Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
I was a little on the fence when this card dropped because I struggled a bit with his swing. When you get it down, I think this card outperforms every other first baseman in the game. He has the splits you want to have (better against righties, still elite against lefties), he has active quirks like "breaking ball hitter" and his defense goes up to gold at parallel 5. Which in insane to me. Big Papi is still a close second, but I think Vlad Jr. is the better player. You can also play him at 3B, which is nice.

Second Base: 99 Jackie Robinson
I usually strongly dislike Jackie cards in this game, mostly because of his lack of power and his swing. This Jackie has everything you want, at parallel 5 his power numbers are 85/89 which is insane for a Jackie Robinson card. His high contact and speed make him the best lead off hitter in the game and he has diamond defense meaning he'll have elite range in the field. Not much to dislike about the card.

Third Base: 99 Chipper Jones
This pick probably surprises no one. I'm always a huge fan of Chipper cards (traded in my Joe Random for Chipper in MLBTS 17) and like Jackie, this is the best version of Chipper Jones we've ever seen. Switch hitting lefty killer with some wheels, gold defense at parallel 5 AND positional flexibility (he can play shortstop) make him the best card in the game imo. I can't think of a single thing I don't like about this card, but if I had to pick something I'd say his contact against righties could've been a bit higher. But 108 at parallel 5 is obviously plenty.

Shortstop: 96 Trevor Story
I used to play my CAP here, but I picked Story out of one of my flawless packs and decided to try him out for fun. He has become one of my favorite cards to use with also one of the best swings I've seen. He plays well above his attributes and his defense is godlike, he runs down pretty much everything. At parralal 5 he has 92 speed with 99 fielding and 99 reaction, along with 97 arm strength. This is basically a power hitting Ozzie Smith or Omar Vizquel minus the switch hitting. His vision is a little low, so he will have a small PCI on HOF and Legend difficulty.

Left Field: 96 Mike Trout
I mean, it's Mike Trout. I put him in LF but you can play him anywhere, as long as he's on the field. Can't wait for a flashback Mike Trout, who will be one of my 3 endgame outfielders for sure.

Center Field: 96 Jasson Dominguez
This card is so much fun. His speed and defense practically makes this card a switch hitting Byron Buxton, but with a better swing imo. This card also plays well above his attributes, everything seems to be hit hard. The only knack I have is that he is kind of short and I caught myself chasing some fastballs above the zone because they look so good that I forget about his height. Despite that, he's the best CF in the game right now in my opinion.

Right Field: 99 Ronald Acuña Jr.
With Acuña's injury, this will probably be the best version we will see this year. And he does not disappoint. At parallel 5, this card will have 120+ power against both sides with 99 speed and 99 arm in a RF primary position. That's insane. The fielding does not go up to 90 so he will have a gold fielding badge at best, but I think he is still gonna be worth using over any other outfielder who does have diamond fielding. His reaction and speed are gonna make up for it. Also, this card has the active quirks just like his LS card, which I value a lot.

Honorable mentions:

98 Trea Turner
If this card had gold defense, he would be my starting CF or 2B. Insane swing, insane speed, great hitting attributes. Probably the best budget card in the game.

97 Yoenis Cespedes
I used this card a bit for fun and to mix it up a little. And he surprised me, he literally hits everything hard. I bat .519 with him while slugging 1.221 in just under 80 plate appearances mostly on legend and some on HOF. His lack of defense would prevent me from using him on my God squad, but he is an offensive juggernaut.

99 Prince Fielder
If you're looking for a lefty power bat at 1B, this is your guy. He's practically free if you complete the whole TA3 program and to me he in the same tier as Vlad Jr. and Big Papi.

97 Eduardo Escobar
Many people will sleep on this card, but especially in the lower ranks like All-Star difficulty, this card will perform fantastic. A switch hitter with a great swing and more than serviceable hitting attributes who can play anywhere but CF makes him the perfect utility player on the bench.

Starting Rotation
Note: I won't go into too much detail here, it's personal preference more than anything.

1. 99 Jacob DeGrom
2. 99 Shohei Ohtani
3. 97 Al Leiter
4. 94 Edward Cabrera
5. 96 Tom Glavine / 99 Freddy Peralta

Bullpen

1. 96 Alex Reyes
2. 97 Josh Hader
3. 84 Aroldis Chapman
4. 91 John Franco
5. 95 Rob Dibble
6. 97 Dennis Eckersley
7. 99 Rich Gossage
8. 99 Mariano Rivera

I think you and many others might be overlooking Wander. Your other lineup picks are the same as mine, except I run CAP at catcher.

I used Franco and he's not a bad card at all. I just think Story is way better, but again it's personal preference.

Personal preference for sure. I just don’t see Wander getting much love on the forums. Much better contact than Story, switch hitting, good power, speedy, diamond defense at parallel 3.

I’m gonna have to give the nod to wander on this one as well. Lots of people overlooking him

Just curious when you guys think that might happen. Maybe in the next couple of weeks? I bought a ton of collection cards when the market crashed and really looking fwd to the market going berserk again for these cards

Degrom
Ohtani
Leiter
Lance Lynn
Tom Glavine

LF-Justice
CF- Trout
RF- Acuna

Played ball all my life up through college and a year in the farm system. Now I’m out of shape and old (3 kids and a wife) so this game is what keeps my competitive juices flowing.

Team affinity 3 program brother! It’s a free grind and these cards basically makes a lot of the other cards on the market irrelevant Your gonna get a lot of free packs along the way to help you build up your stub count.

The showdown tbh is pretty fun and easy. I just turned on Netflix and did a few and before I knew it had enough to complete them all. I did do all the exchange sets too tho

aww man brutal, i did that in TA1, took 2 months for them to resolve it. rip

awesome! i dont know how much i invested, but ill tell you this. i had 60k left when i went to sleep last night. after today's mayhem i was able to purchase every card in the game, besides the new goose and larry walker and i have 3.4million stubs. this is just insane. i was buying a hundred duplicates of cards around 6k and sold them anywhere from 15-18k today

what a day
