I'm already over 400 stars. 2000 doesn't seem too far out of the realm of possibilities.

Usually 500 minimum and I've hit 600 once, simply not THAT motivated; maybe if I was good at Showdown.

I haven’t done any and don’t intend to. Moments are horrible.

Yup. Moments are the reason I've almost quit playing the last couple months. Everything is moments and I'm straight burnt.

I usually just ignore them unless they form part of a player program I want to complete and can’t be skipped. I didn’t do extreme, I haven’t done the postseason and I only do the showdowns for the 70 programs stars each inning, as they’re just a series of moments cobbled together. Hopefully they revamp content next year and return to something a little less repetitive than being trapped in a scenario and repeatedly failing, while earning nothing for your time and efforts.

Not sure what to do. I want to use 98 Hanley Ramirez because his 92 raked for me when he was my SS. Unfortunately 1B, SS and 3rd aren't options (99 Ortiz/97 Brosseau at 1st, 99 Tatis Jr at SS & 99 POTM JRam at 3rd). That leaves me with LF, but have 97 Bellinger there. So who goes to the bench 97 Bellinger or 98 Ramirez.

Ramirez. His defense definitely wouldn’t be good enough out there, and Bellinger swings a good enough bat as is.

I think I've temp resolved this. Moved Tatis Jr to 2nd, put 98 Ramirez at SS and kept everything else the same. Once we get our 99 Seager card today Ramirez will have to go to the bench.

95 Lucroy -backup catcher and ability to play first. Crushes lefties

Prestige McGriff- mostly just to mash righties

99 Larkin- Good speed, good contact, backup SS

97 McCutchen. Good against lefties, good defense in the outfield. Good speed as a potential pinch runner.

Last spot is a left handed outfielder, revolving door most of the time. Right now I’m trying 98 Alex Gordon as the last bench spot.

I have both on the bench. Harper is first one up against a righty and Thomas first one up against a lefty. I love Harper but his stats against lefty makes me cringe. To be honest I bought Ted Williams and really considering selling him back and starting Harper again. That Edmonds is F sweet to

The free program Edmonds?

Yea man he swing is so smooth. Lots of power. Good fielding decent speed. Budget beast for sure. [censored] he’s free and Ted is 400k and I’m considering selling lol

Interesting.

Because Nolan Ryan is useless. He either walks someone or throws it down the middle. Only guys who can't hit fastballs struggle against him, which aren't a lot of people in the upper tiers.

Go to purchase packs and you can obtain it there for free.

thank you.

I meant actually use him, not just on roster, but that works to.

You could always try Robert now and then sell him later if you want Harper. If the beach ball packs are anything like the ducks packs, there may not be any more for a while so Robert’s price could end up going up and you’ll make a profit if you decide to sell in a week.

Well use the free Granderson. That dude is awesome at laying down bunts for me.

-Pitch Maddux
-Be patient at the plate. I found in the HOF games, they pitched the same batters similarly each AB. Others may not have had that experience, but I did.
-Another caveat of the above statement... Put one of your really good hitters in the 8 spot, or in front of your pitcher in the HOF games. I found the cpu really likes to attack your 8 hole, especially with 2 outs, so they can lead off with your pitcher for the next inning.
-Have speed on the bench. You don't want your go-ahead run on 1st or 2nd and not have anyone speedy to sub in for them.

At this point I am just going to intentionally walk Trout whenever he comes up. I've seen enough.

My opponent actually did that to me yesterday, but then for some reason he didn't on the next AB and I hit a game tying HR.

Great job appreciate the spreadsheet
