Is it me, or has Battle Royale been super sweaty since the update yesterday? I know I'm pretty bad playing online, but in the last BR program (my 1st ever) I started a bit late and felt proud to scrounge up 79 program points. I figured if I committed to playing more games I'd be able to at the least get to the 80 pack... not so much. I went 0-2 last night and another 0-2 this morning. Every pitch thrown was high ton the black and my opponents were hitting curveballs in the dirt for homers. It was so confusing... I'll try again this afternoon, but I'm wondering if everyone was experiencing the same?

Omg you went 0-4!! That is no way possible. Something has to be up. We need the MIB to look into this please. Like right now

I think you misunderstood. I'm not saying anything is up. I'm simply stating it felt much more intense yesterday (my guess is it was because so many were excited for Musual and Chapman) than it was the previous program. I'm an absolute noob who was happy to grind to 79 points in the last program whereas yesterday I could barely get a hit. Its all good though... its just a game. I'm going to play regardless. I love it. Was just wondering what everyone else's experiences were like. Thanks for responding though... I think the MIB have much more pressing needs.

Sending you a private message Ivega127... our Late Night League sounds like the perfect fit for a family man such as yourself.
And I'm pretty sure the Yanks would be available too.

There is no reason to assume there won't be a collection of the 3 bosses for inning 2

There's also no reason to assume there will be. I will prepare myself as if it will be there but I won't be surprised if they do not have that this year with the change in how the innings work.

Other than the switch to XP and the programs having a hard cut off date nothing has changed. In both 19 and 20 the 1st inning had you collect the preorder cards. Same with 21. 2nd inning will be collect the 1st inning bosses and so on. While the XP and hard cut off date are changes, the rest of the program and how you acquire XP/cards is exactly the same as before

And both of those years we could see that jump start set in advance of the next inning. We cannot this year. So like I said I'm not assuming anything but I'll prepare as if it will be there. Also I'd like to mention last year it was 75 stars aka 25% of that innings requirement for the bosses. Seeing how they nerfed everything else when converting to XP IF the set is there don't be surprised if it's 35k XP or less. At that point will it even be worth doing?

It will be 50k. Just like the collect the preorders. They just did away from the vouchers to not clog up the collections screen like there was before. It's really not that deep. The "nerfed" XP wouldn't seem so bad if in game XP was tallying correctly. And to add to that stars earned from gameplay last year was 1 star per 2,000 XP or .33% of the program. This year 2000 XP is .57% of the program. So while the 1 time boosts are less, the XP % toward the program from gameplay almost doubled(when tallying correctly)

I hope in 21 they come up with a web based system to design logos/graphics and upload them to the game. Sort of like games did 2 generations ago.

Provided you can't copy/paste images from the internet, this would be amazing.

i dont get why they took that out? was it legal reasons? I remember back in the XBOX360 days games like FIFA and NCAA had create teams where you could upload any image online and upload it. it was so easy to do.
I think maybe NBA 2K still does this but not sure.

A true legend. Here's a good article on just how good he was:

Those look great. Bell would need 125 for speed and stealing.

have to keep them both as the diamond had to be locked in to prestige the card.

OMG, you're totally right, I didn't even think of that.

Good morning, I worked up a 2nd wave of this concept. I'm really enjoying putting these together. I have a few other fun concepts I'll be putting together over the next few weeks. Enjoy!

Wow, nice! I really like the Adam Jones one.

It is so fun to hear him talk to his grandfather about Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, Kerry Wood and his grandfather's current favorite player Javier Baez (my wife and her family are diehard Cubs fans as she was born and raised in Illinois) as well as pushing how awesome White Ford, Ron Guidry and Don Mattingly are (I'm a lifelong Yankees fan). The highlight of my year for sure.

Yes, I grew up playing it as well. unfortunately we had it stored in our basement along with our other games so being made of paper it got a bit run down (mold/ water damage) but it was a fun game. I also had a game for the PC that was mostly simulation but a bit like Strat-o-matic as well.

I was also a fan of All-Star Baseball back in the day. I still have 2003 for Gamecube, but unfortunately I sold off a bunch of sports games when I was younger since I figured I would never play them again. The expansion was definitely my favorite part of the game. I can still remember the menu music since I played that game so much. It was epic.

Why is every discussion here framed as “he wouldn’t make your lineup?” There are a lot of players that don’t make the god squad. But what if people want to use them. Isn’t it good that people might consider different players in a lineup. I think it would get pretty stale if everyone used the same lineup. Maybe play with guys you like? Not everything has to be “wouldn’t make my lineup.”

I’m an offline player because my internet service is terrible (it’s where I live not my equipment) but I’m still using the Awards Andrew McCutchen and Daniel Murphy cards in my regular lineup, and I rotate between Lightening Tatis and Awards Banks on my bench. Cutch, Murphy and Banks don’t make anyone’s lineups but I’ve got 52HR 251 RBI with Cutch, 36 HR and 132 RBI with Murphy and Banks has 29 HR and 103 RBI (and I haven’t used him in a month because I’ve been rolling Tatis). I know it’s offline but I play strictly HOF or All Star and I can’t justify taking Murphy or Cutch out. My lineup (in order):

RF: Lofton
LF: Brock
CF: Cutch
1B: Ruth
😄 Posey
3B: Foxx
2B: Murphy
SS: Wagner

Bench: Tatis Jr, Mantle, Morgan, Cobb, Molina
