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.

Then why not give it away for free to everyone on here instead of begging for a DM? There are probably a dozen youtubes out there with tips. Do you have something different? I also suck at the game and I'm undisciplined at the plate, can you help with that?

As someone who switched from directional to zone, zone is far superior, or at least it was the in 20 and 21. However, your argument assumes that those who have better skills with PCI should be better. Lets not pretend the game is simple RNG when it comes to hitting. HOw many perfect perfect line drives are caught by the infield? How many dead center fastballs are hit with good timing but end up as an infield pop up? A hung slider is tracked down by a common fielder in the gap. How many homeruns have you hit with an early swing and the PCI well under the ball? Lets just all admit that hitting this year is broken regardless what batting style you play.

The big collection should not be easy, it should be a grind. Griffey (like Trout last year) is not a participation award. It has taken most of us 8 months to be in the position to get Griffey. That is a lot of games played, a lot of flipping, a lot of exchanges. Honestly, I would be angry if I played the game 8 months and someone who just picked up the game on Friday to be in the same place I was from a team and stub perspective. Griffey can still be completed it will just take some time and even for a lot of people that just got the game it will be a lot shorter than 8 months. The way they have TA's set up, you can basically double dip with your stats and games played.

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.

You hit the arguement perfectly. I get under a sinker it is still a ground ball. I swing over the top of a change up it is a pop up. Those outcomes are not realistic and nor do they make any sense. I get the perfect perfects sometimes being outs but the other random stuff is just bad programing.

I much rather have people use one stub increments. You get some guys who list 500 to 1000 stubs lower and that triggers a price crash on the card and pretty soon it is down several thousand stubs. I would rather miss out on 1 or 2 stubs vs 3000 stubs.

I figured prices would bump with an influx of stubs but not like 50% on the gate keepers. I play video games to escape reality, but the market reminds too much of my grocery bills. Did SDS implement tarriffs on packs or something? Has there ever been this huge of bump in the history of MLB the Show? I remember roster updates and past stub sales causing prices to rise but LS Trout never made it into 600k territory. I thinking of abandoing the quest to do LS. I only need 3 more cards, can you guess which ones?

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.

I disagree. On stream, they said the programs would be varied in length and variety. I was also bummed at not get all FOTF players but TA last year ruined the game, the objectives were easy and not time consuming at all, and made it so essentially everyone had the same lineup. In terms of money making, yeah if you want all the FOTF players you need to pay for them but do you really want all of them? I might take 3 guys in the NL east but the rest of the cards arent all that great from the stats we have seen. In terms of grinding just play innings of ranked seasons. You don't even have to win. Bottom line is people hate change even if the change benefits them in the long run. Embrace the change and see where it takes you. Now if in a month or two content is stale, I'll be the first criticize SDS, but give them a chance. Game hasn't even released yet.

I think the grind is going to be really hard this year. The fact that they vary the lengths of the featured program could really force you to play the game. You could take a week off of playing and then pick up the game and still completely knock out an inning program before the next inning starter. I do think TA needed to change. It was way too easy to complete them all and the players were better than some that were going for 500k stubs. I think it will make it so teams are more unique and you aren't just facing the same lineup every game with Degrom or Cabrera pitching.

Pretty sure you cant beat me. I have Buxton at every position, even pitcher.

So one of my biggest complaints about the game is that often times PCI placement, exit velocity and launch angle usually do not translate to a probable outcome. IMO a perfect perfect flyball with Frank Thomas vs a lefty with a 105 exit velo and 28 degree launch should be a HR every time. So I found this website which does the math for you. Kind of neat and proves my assumptions wrong as it would only be a 90 percent probability. Of course this does not figure in elevation as a lot of us play in high elevation parks. Maybe everyone has seen this but for those that have not.

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!
