In the last month we have lost Tom Seaver, Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, Whitey Ford and now Joe Morgan.

This program will actually help me complete the Mookie collection so I can't wait.

@allmustfall16 said in Ty Cobb is legit:

He’s right up there with Mantle in my opinion (as far as hitting goes). He seems to hit left handed pitching well too.

The fact he’s 90 power and can go up to 93 power from both sides with 125 contact is amazing.

Well deserved for one of the top 3 hitters of all time.

Cobb’s swing as always generated power. Even his (91) would hit HRs.

This is the best inning boss this year in my opinion. Hopefully next inning we get Willie Mays.

Well done SDS. This is why you’re different than 2K. 2k would have made people spend a week’s pay to get a card of this caliber.

I was waiting for a review on him...thanks. I'm envisioning him as my lead off hitter sort of like Rickey Henderson was with the As. Can hit, can hit for power and anything in the gap is a guaranteed double or triple.

What MLB team do you continue to state grind on and just mercifully beat the s**t out of?

I know the obvious are the Rockies and Orioles. Anyone switch it up? Tigers? Rangers? What team do you make your B?

Also what are some of the most ridiculous crooked numbers you’ve put up on them. Inning? Entire game?

Unfortunately it might end up being my Cubbies instead of the Orioles. I mean look at that line up and pitching staff

Rumor has it that the 8th inning bosses are 99 Kershaw, 99 Pudge and 99 Foxx.

See my issue is on xbh moments. You hit the ball down the line and it should be a double, but the CPU runner who was at 1st stops at 2nd.

@Steelerof3Rivers said in Greg Maddux is awful:

I’m 5-0 with him with a 1.2 ERA but that’s just me & I was great with his 88 overall card also. I honestly think people just have to learn how to pitch with him. Paint the corners, Pitch to contact...It really works with him!

I was 8-1 with a .86 ERA and 114 SO with Maddux 88 so I would assume I would do even better with his 99. Also picked up 98 Orel and 97 May to try and find someone to go with 97 Wood 97 Leiter 98 Hal and 94 Hendrick.

@PhillyRunt44 said in Greg Maddux is awful:

Maddux has been elite for me. I love him. Gonna be my ace rest of year working on prestiging him....

Great to hear. This is why I love hearing other players opinions, but then also try them out. How Maddux or Wood or even 94 Hendricks pitches for other wont necessarily be the same as me.

Do you have any tips you can share as I assume you already have it done.

@mastermut4life said in HOF Ruth games:

I'm doing the 30 3 inning games today before 7th inning comes out tomorrow.

So what you’re saying is that you’re going to fatigue yourself with a really boring grind (and it is really efffing boring ,which In and of itself is mentally fatiguing) prior to new content coming out. Sounds like a great idea.

I actually enjoy it. It's a nice break from RS & Events. I don't find it boring or fatiguing at all.

@painpa_psn said in YES!!!!:

@raylewissb47_psn said in YES!!!!:

I had a feeling they were going to do this but I still put myself through completing showdown yesterday anyway.

just got past Grove, gonna do these moments to get Clemente then come back and finish the showdown after. my 1st attempt at Felix i scored 7 so i know i can hit him.it will feel good to beat it after all the bs.

Yep my first time vs Felix I scored 7 to make it 20-19 so like you, I knew he was hitable. 3rd time around went into the Felix battle 20-12 again, but this time scored 9 runs with 1 out left to get the 20 points.

@exotic_combs_psn said in Brooks:

With parallel this card looks awesome. I never thought I’d say I’d give a brooks robinson card a try but ‍️

I'm saying the same thing to....99 Lefty Grove. His long release seems better but the pitches they gave him OMG.

@superpumper1_psn said in Well, I tried…:

We should start a 50 plus league. Pitchers can only throw changeup and 5 built in bathroom breaks per game...lol

Ha Ha. I haven't gotten to that point yet only 48.

I'm 48. If you think about it, if it wasn't for us keeping the video game industry going in our teens, these 16 year olds wouldn't have video games to play in the 1st place.

I used this card last year and loved it.

@kingakp_xbl said in For those still chasing Mookie or just collectors in general.:

There is a Prime Orlando Hernandez and Awards Series Perez to be had for under 10k. Very helpful if you're lacking some cards for those.

Yep. Picking them both up tomorrow after I complete the Field of Dream program. That way I will know for sure what I need.

I don't have issues with Madden itself. What I gave an issue with is how EA treats its players and in some cases throws their on air talent under the bus to try to explain issues with the game instead of EA itself.

@bloopnablast_34_psn said in LOL @ SDS their last hurrah to keep players:

I love it, you’ll see me playing there a lot! Batters eye looks good too. Moonshots to the stalks!

Can't wait to play tomorrow at Field of Dreams stadium. It's cool that you get it as the 1st reward (point 1).

@bob_loblaw1984 said in Verlander…:

@untchable704_psn said in Verlander…:

I’m not paying a million for him. But him and Lindor look solid.

Lindor looks like a slower Wander with a worse arm.

I was kind of disappointed in Lindors attributes to be honest. Verlander on the other hand will definitely be in my starting 5.
