Hobby boxes and packs usually have better odds but higher cost. As the other poster said, it is down to Topps/Bowman with a MLB license (team logos), and Panini/Donruss with the MLBPA license (just the players with airbrushed out logos). Prizm is a special release from Panini. Fat packs are the packs you see at retail stores (Target and Walmart) that usually consist of like 30+ cards. You can also have boxes that will get you around 70 cards, and jumbo boxes (but I can never find them) with even more, I think around 120 or so.

Cards are severely inflated right now because so many people with extra time on their hands are getting back into it, and celebs and even players are talking about cards that they collect. If you want a really good way to get back into it, I have found that a majority of the Twitter people that I interact with are really inviting. There are a ton that do stack sales of individual cards, you pick what you want, they give you the total including shipping. Also you have "breakers" that buy boxes and cases, sell spots for teams or random spots in their breaks and then ship out all carss that are opened from that box that match the team you pick or receive.

There is a ton of info and no one stop "cards for dummies" space to pick it all up. But good luck as I just recently got back into it too and spent about $300 of the "stimulus" that I got lol

I got it done with the PS Morton

That sucks, i got 4 ks previously and thought it would be a cake walk, and then I swapped out i guess my RP with a CP. Either way saying a CP isn't a RP is like saying a CF isn't an OF

so since when are closers not considered relief pitchers? I have to put in the weakest group of pitchers in the game to get this done?

No lie, im the same way. All season long with no pack luck after opening day. On starting the game I got Yelli, Yates, and Morton. I haven't pulled another Diamond until 5 minutes ago. I played through all of the Players Toruney, Dawson, Gibson, Posada, and Hernandez moments. Down to the last pack and I get Trout. Now its to decide if I go for Mantle or just sell him off.

I am tired of guys that quite out when I score early. I want to be able to finish my daily tasks and they keep quitting out. No matter how bad Im playing or losing, I still play til the final out. The only times I didn't were against rude players/cheesers and I did it in an attempt to get the disconnect task unlocked but it didn't work.

Wow didn't know that thr Show decided to join the ranks of prestige in video games

Anyone notice a finest Jose Rameriez listed in inventory as found on the XP Reward path? Also found a Thames monthly listed for the Brewers?

I'm pretty sure during the developer streams pre-release they said that outcome was a homerun. Well I just proved them wrong. New Future Stars Kirilloff versus Reyes from previous years in event at the Metrodome and it was a 101 warning track shot. How does that work?

Why aren’t you answering my question? Was it a p/p fly ball or a liner? I’ve found that many of my P/p feedbacks go for hits (in RS, Events, conquest, Custom League games, MTO and the few v CPU games I’ve played for program completions) and the overwhelming majority of the P/P fly balls have been HRs for me, some P/P liners have gone out but many are “screamers” that get snagged and I’ve also had success on P/P grounders. I’m sure it’s just a run of bad luck.

Hang in there and maybe switch up your players. I’ve noticed that I play much better with some players that aren’t as highly rated as others.

And if you are concerned about toxicity on the forum, try not spouting forth toxicity about the forum (referring to your most recent complaint). Just a tip for later use.

Cheers!

No worries man, I don't know if it was a p/p fly or liner but if I had to guess it was a fly. The CF had time to get back and get under it. Its wasn't a screamer right at them. I have been trying to swap players a little more often now and that was my first game with FS Kirilloff. Lately I have been mashing with LS Sanatna from CLE.

As for the toxicity, I was just trying to call the troll out. I'm not on here much and very rarely post anything. So when a troll does what they do, I wanted to just ask why. And then I was laughing at the language filters that censored da,mn, tu,rd, and another that I can't even remember. Nothing vulgar just words that can be used instead of curses.

wow the filter on here is worse than any other forum I have ever used lol

Show a link to a video where they said that? Or try utilizing all 3 buttons then just pressing X or Square or just stop being a hr crackhead🤨

Talk about toxic. Everyone else on here is agreeing and you are here to call me a crackhead? What is your issue dude? You say to use all 3 buttons? Circle rarely results in a hit and I only use it when trying to not strike out. I rarely use Square cause I'm obviously not good enough at hitting that I can reduce my contact area and good contact area by power swinging. I have been playing baseball games for [censored] near 30 years, I don't need your [censored] opinion, if you care to read a thread you can see that I was venting frustration at my lack of hitting ability. Try to not be an absolute [censored] just because you are online and no one knows you. Be a decent human being, which I know is hard for some people, but just try.

Okay but p/p with 88 power at the metronome to just right of center with an exit velo over 100. Its just frustrating that i have been so terrible with hitting recently and i finally do what im supposed to and get nothing. But when I'm pitching they can pull an off speed low outside breaking ball 450 feet. Or I'm on my marks for a pitch and it gets hung over the middle of the plate and I lose 1-0. I'm not one to batch and complain but before 1.04 I was 11-2 in RS, and now I can't buy a win.

Hey, believe me, I’m sympathetic. It would be great if we had an update to that claim which told us what the chances of a perfect/perfect 80 power fly ball are of leaving the yard now.

I don’t think we’ll get one.

Definitely not, oh well, I guess no more online games and I will stick to the frustration of the CPU dotting corners on Veteran until I learn to "work the count" to actually be able to hit the ball.

@Brown_Sound12 said in What the hell happened to showdown??:

I just did 1st Inning Showdown and got screwed over. I was playing a three inning game to get hits. I didn’t get a 3rd inning at-bat in the bottom of the inning after pitching the top. Who do I complain to for getting cheated?

I thought this happened to me, but there is a challenge where you are playing as the home team. If you are leading going into the final inning, you only end up getting 2 innings to hit in. I learned that I had to watch that get creative with a way for them to tie the game without giving up a bomb

Okay I get they are just normal packs but are they tied to the individual teams that you earned them from? Like if i get the packs from the Twins affinity, they will all be Twins players?

@allmustfall16 said in TA Packs:

I pulled Trevor Story from one.

Thank you, that is what I needed to hear. I havent been making any head way on affinities and need to try something different

Just a quick question that I cant seem to find the answer to anywhere. With the TA Packs at 70 in TA, the 6 pack, do they pull from the entire team? Like, even a miniscual chance of pulling a team diamond from it? If so, then that will change everything that I'm currently doing.

@Lie-on-Lion said in Back to Bunt and Speed cheese:

Just bring your infield in for bunt defense. If I can see it coming, it stops them pretty quick from trying that nonsense. they just count on people to not adjust their defense.

I tried that too and Webby was still exploiting my guys. I will keep trying though.

As far as I can tell their names are the same, Dubs and Webby are short for their names and if you want to know exactly who they are just look in my game history
