Buy Field of Dreams packs. I'm an idiot.

Maybe I'm the odd one out but I like the conquest maps. Easy rewards and I like the hidden packs that pop up. Reminds me of the board game Risk.

The part that makes me mad about the game is that I should not need to spend money on a monitor or adapters for my controller to be somewhat sucessful.

We need a Tim "Rock" Raines.

Gagne in the first pack. Hornsby in the second.

Miggy 99. Worst Version of his card ever.

I believe everyone would agree. He is unusable.

Perfect Perfect linedrive smoked at the left handed First baseman who catches the liner across his body and tags out the runner leading off first in the same motion. Perfect Perfect double play.

Considering I will not be able to complete these, I'm glad none of them are guys I want for my squad.

Huge win for me. I pulled a DeGrom!

I've heard that it's not the size of your PCI but how you use it!

ALDS Kike Hernandez
NLDS Joc Pederson
TN Adam Duvall
MA Tyler Naquin
MA Jesse Winker
MA A.J. Pollock
TN Brandon Belt

As far as I can tell those are the only diamonds that have it, unless I missed somebody (which is very possible)

So really Joc is the only viable option, maybe Belt, because of the left handed batting. I love Kike but there are roughly 1 million right hand hitting OF in the game.

Scouting Report Packs are delivered once a month. The next pack comes out next week.

@ericulous1_psn said in Scouting Report:

You'll get something in a week or 2. It's not great, but seems like it's gotten better over the last two months. It'll just show up with your packs.

The first three months we had exclusive items (bat skin, nameplate, etc) the last two months we have added some higher level items.

Should we go crazy the next couple months?

How about a BR choice pack? Make them non auctionable so it does not screw with the market. I think that would make everyone happy.

@xxdeathreyxx_psn said in I’ve used the worst diamond in the game:

Triple, single after what seemed like forever.

Same here. Got super lucky with the triple also cause he runs like he has 50 speed instead of 80.

99 Verlander
99 DeGrom
99 Ryan
99 Ohtani
99 Kershaw

Just completed Kershaw so not sure if he will stick or not. There are better options other than Ohtani but I love using him as a pinch hitter. The top three are locked in for the rest of the year. I do love Walter just not sure who he bumps.

@sevisonjn_psn said in 99 speed Oneill:

Some slower players were good base stealers and some really fast guys were not very good base stealers. That is why SDS puts a Speed and Base Stealing metric in. If a guy in game is rocking 99 speed and 60 base stealing numbers he might get to second slower than a guy who has 82 speed and 90+ steal. Tyler ONeill is clearly fast, but looking at his build during the game last night, I wouldn't think a guy built like an NFL linebacker would be a 99 speed guy.

This is spot on. I think SDS does a good job of pointing out that guys can be fast but not good base stealers. Really showcases how it is a lost art in real life.

I feel like there are some really good catchers. Pudge, Biggio, Realmuto, Salvy, Schwarber, Adley, etc. The issue is that there is not just a dominant one. All of them have a flaw of some sort. Some are slow (0 speed), some lack pop, others lack defense. But the good part of that is that it promotes variety among the teams. So you really have to focus on what do I want out of your catcher. To me Realmutto is the best well rounded. Adley is second on my list because he lacks the pop of JT but he is a switch hitter. Again personal preference. Schwarber is my bench bat forever. Last year it was a combo of Pudge, Foxx and Biggio.

I beat it the first time and thought this is so easy. Then failed the four tires after. Couple things I noticed. The perks you get are super random. If you get good perks you are set otherwise it is an uphill battle. My last loss I did not use the last elite perk because the choices were trash. Second, the best RIB cards are all lefties and the last two pitchers are lefties. Lastly, Skubal is not great put his fastball and slider are tough especially with our lefty heavy lineups. If you make it past Skubal then it is really hard to adjust to Fernandos low speed. His offspeed looks like a hanging meatball everytime and then it breaks into the dirt. Losing to him just makes me feel like a terrible player.

@jogger171717_psn said in Worst of all-time??:

This was just their way of doing a 1 boss inning without technically doing a 1 boss inning.

I kind of agree here. Its not that the bosses are bad, the problem is that one is clearly above the other two. Every other inning, choosing just one of the three available was tough. For this it is Hank all the way. Only reason to consider Tork is I need to complete Future Star set.

If you have ever tried directional in online play you would realize it is actually at a disadvantage. Directional is total RNG and if you are dotting corners a directional hitter will never make good contact. Now if you hang one down the middle the RNG will favor directional but if you throw one down the middle vs zone it is getting crushed also.

Definitely but I did it more as an Investment as opposed to planning on locking them in. I picked up Brett and Pedro when they hit the 90k range. If you had to invest in just one, I would go with Brett. I don't think as many people chose that one as the reward and the Awards collection is harder to finish.
