I still feel like they punish contact in the first or second pitch of the at bat. I usually have better contact (according to SDS) after the forth pitch of an at bat.

Just fix the crashing and freezing when I go to manage lineups. It's been going on since day one.

I pulled a Blue right fielder yesterday from my first pack! I only need Judge and Witt to finish LS. But Tatis would have been fine. Nope, pipeline past Renfroe, goes for under 7k.

The whole game is repetitive. You either play a moment or play games. It really does not matter what the missions require. It is the same game over and over again. Not sure how they change this, just like irl baseball can be fun and boring at the same time. Usually mid June I take a break and play FPS or RPG games for a month or two. With that said I would never complain about SDS giving us too much to do. Color Rush atleast forces me to use different lineups. Unlike most who load up on one team at a time, I have been sprinkling in 2 guys from each team to knock out the objectives. Keeps it fresh as much as possible.

Normally I would say wait but I have been wrong on the market all year. I still need Judge and Witt. I'm at 400k right now and will get Judge as soon as I can. This is the latesti have ever not completed LS. Get them and use them and enjoy them. Once LS is done you can just keep stacking stubs.

With the amount of hits that I square up but end up as weak contact, I believe vision is huge because of the timing windows. If your hitter has 125 power but 50 vision that "good" timing will end up as a flyout to the warning track. I tell myself this as it is the only explanation for why hitting is broken.

I would sell. As others have said most collectors already have him from when he was a lower diamond and easy to pull. These LS cards always lose value the farther you get in the game cycle. Even the gate keepers will decline as more people complete the sets and SDS makes them easier to pill. The market has been a real [censored] shoot this year with only solid investment as those guys who go from gold to diamond or silver to gold on roster updates.

@NWOStunna_PSN this is right on. Flash sale should have made those cards dip significantly but then they drop a stub sale which inflates prices. SDS knows what they are doing with the market manipulation. Hey if people are willing to drop 75k on a bundle that returns 15k in value, I would keep doing it too. If their analytics start to show less spending on pack and less players logged in, it is a certain they will intervene.

ODay has that funky delivery. Hoffman was one of the best closers of all time but his card this year is not up to specs. I feel like people sit on that change up and even if hit the corner it gets destroyed. From a set standpoint ODay gets you close to Clemens, completing the Padres gets you trying to make stubs to afford Ohtani. On the other hand Tatis rakes and his defense can change the outcomes of games.

With the amount of RNG while hitting, I might put luck above skill.

@doobiebross66-72_PSN Yeah I watched a good youtube on this the other day. Basically durability means nothing DD but helps inflate the overall of the card. Same in previous years with defense and reaction, at least they changed that so those stats matter in game. In other words overall means nothing just look at attributes.

Has anyone even pulled a chase pack within a pack this year? I have not and I have pulled a lot of packs. So if you cant pull a chase pack outside of buying a bundle. And then the chase pack does not guarantee the chase card, supply is going to be non existent.

Last time prices jumped up right before Weekend Classic. Assuming people were buying up the best cards to add to their squad. Or trying to complete LS so they could add Beltran, Clemens and Hodges to their team. Hopefully we see a dip but it might be after everyone get their rewards.

@MrNintendo_MLBTS If you connect with it, it is a 450 plus HR easy. It is just a shock in velo after their #5 Sanzetella, and 2nd reliever who throws a high 80s slider every pitch. I just question that if you have 99 velo and outlier, should you really be a common? He would be a sneaky play in events though.

@MrNintendo_MLBTS Maybe. The common reliever Halvorsen for the Rockies still hits 103 on the gun on Rookie against me. It just seems wildly inconsistent from game to game. Im teeing off on gold starters and diamond releivers but I cant hit a common?

Im not really sure it matters. I think my last DQ rotation was Cueto, May, Buehler, Schultz, Degrom. If they have a decent pitch mix and a good fastball, they should be just fine. If I remember correctly it is just numbers 1, 2 and 4 starters. Many of the challenges involve your LR and Closer. Miller and Chapman have been fine for me.

What I feel is really odd is that I score more runs on veteran and all-star. That should not be the case. Harder levels of video games (any video game) should not be easier.

@yankblan_PSN Yes, Im tired of seeing the Lemurs, Singers, etc. Give me some different team names, with different color unis and maybe even a couple more new stadiums. I know it does not really matter since rosters change each mini season, but it still seems stale.

As much as I dislike pack odds for LS the odds are clearly listed. Now the odds do not change based on the amount of packs you open. 1:50 does not mean you will get a diamond if you open 50 packs. The odds reset for every pack. I see this all the time people playing roulette. Just because it lands on black five times in a row does not mean it has a higher chance to land on red the next spin.

Opened 50 regular packs, 5 Ballin, 1 Jumbo and 3 HL. I did pull one diamond, which really is not bad considereing the odds, so I was excited. That diamond was....85 Egg Hunt Joe Torre. Valued at ....QS. Which is half of regular LS diamonds. So I gained a cool 1500 stubs. 400 more diamonds and I will have Ohtani! So maybe just 20,000 more regular packs. On a positive note it was not a Will Smith, which when I saw purple catcher on the card reveal, I thought it was. For those who do not know, Will Smith is my best friend, he like to show up every other time when a diamond shows up in a pack. Atleast he QS for 3k.
