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

@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.

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.

After putting 98 Griffey Jr in LF and 99 Babe at 1st, I don't have a need for any of the bosses. I can actually hit with 98 Griffey and Babe is well Babe who hits mammoth no doubt HRs.

Both Cano and Hornsby rake for me.

@erinssilence_xbl said in Shippett Stadium:

I don't mind playing there just because there's no bad sight line at the plate. Other stadiums like Center City Field are impossible to see certain arm angles in, looking at you Chris Sale...not to mention that the hitters eye isn't even centered with home plate too. It's slightly off to the left and now with created stadiums you can get some monstrosities where there's all sorts of stuff right behind or over the hitters eye to keep you from seeing it well. Overall I just stick with Wrigley since it's a classic site with good sight lines, small foul ground but not a home run derby too.

Yikes, you might be the only person who likes playing at Wrigley

Make that two people who like playing at Wrigley.

So the first inning showdown is very easy this year? Haven't tried yet.

I dread Showdowns. Were horrible at them this year. Any advice or types would be great.

I heard inning 1 showdown was much easier this year then last (mostly on rookie and veteran). Can anyone confirm this.

@jacksonvance35 said in Team Affinity:

@cdnmoneymaker93_xbl said in Team Affinity:

This new way of Affinity its great. It's more of Division Affinity but either way it's alot of fun and those small stat mission for each player is fun.

This is a great improvement in my view how does everyone else feel?

I think it’s great in the aspect of being easier to complete more affinities quickly and be able to use the cards.
I’m an online guy but the offline grind(programs and affinities not moments)is satisfying.
I kind of feel cheated that the cards are this easy to obtain. It’s been 24 hours and I have a division 5 points away from finished

What modes did you play to get so close already?

@mlbfan377_psn said in Looks Like It'll Be Impossible To Get Tatis Jr without buying Stubs:

I was hoping to get Tatis Jr but only have 25k stubs. I don't see how I'll ever be able to get him without buying stubs, I also wanted Bauer,

Any input? I'm an Xbox guy and LOVE this game but it's all so new to me.

I completed the live series collection last year and never spent a dime. The prices will go down and/or you’ll eventually pull him in a pack. Games only been out for like 17 hours. LOL

Shouldn't we all have 99 overall loaded teams by now . I mean what's taking us so long.

To me atleast I will be able to upgrade unlike last year due to it prestiging being all online.

Oh I will be there with a bunch of players since they all can be increased correct.

I'm getting 25000 free so probably only $50 (67500) worth just to get my main Cubs players. Since I can parallel/prestige them 5 levels over time that's huge.

What does his attributes look like as I'm excited to try him later this morning.
