If you want these cards right now then yes you need to buy packs. Im sure once then next season starts or maybe even TA2 at the end of the week, some of these packs with show up in rewards. The two keys to NMS has always been grinding and patience. Season Awards were easy to complete without doing the set. I have not spent a dime and really have not grinded very much at all and I already have all but 5 teams completed for Live series. Im in no hurry for the super expensive cards I need.

@SchnauzerFace SDS took a page out of EA's Madden Playbook when determining "legends". DId you play in the MLB for even the slightest amount time and are retired and no longer play? Congrats you are a legend.

Took some time off and about to get my first set 1 player. Suggestions? Chipper would replace Devers who would move to DH. Ruth would probably just be a DH for me, maybe Firstbase until I get Big Mac. Ruth always mashes for me but Chipper would bring some balance with the switch hitting.

90 Acuna is leading my team in HRs. Harry Ford is also amazing. Good power and contact with some speed on a catcher. 84 overlal Lindor from the TA packs has been raking for me also. I cant wait to get his 99.

@TheHungryHole said in Your early review of MLBTS 23:
great to hear gents - i am going to jump into this tomorrow night - any advice on what to do first ?
Not sure if this is correct but this is what I have done. Do some of the WBC momements. This will get you some free 90s to add to the team. Then I jumped into TA conquests with those new WBC players. You can knock out the PXP missions for those guys which can get you 95 overall WBC players and more PXP missions. Completing the conquest get your a nice headstart on TA, also get you a couple of team captains and henchmen so you can continue PXP grinding. IF I was event decent at H2h I would try the event but there is so much offline content, it is keeping me busy. I easily could have had all Conquests maps done and WBC program complete by now but I got caught up in flipping for Live Series sets. Already have AL Central done.
-
I'm working through the conquests first. Using guys from the WBC in these games to get their PXP missions done. Then I when I have some TA guys to put in the lineup I move over to mini seasons and knock out those PXP missions for those guys. TA looks like an extreme grind this year, so I'm going to take my time and not stress too much about it.
-
You are correct in that Jeter is underwhelming when compared to Randy last year. I completed LS last year at the end of April and Randy was on my team until he was replaced with the new Randy. Two things I'm concerned with about the LS this year. One is will they update player Overalls more aggressively? This will keep them relevant longer. I think SDS is making a move toward this with the intro of Captains boosting LS cards for each team. Second, the value of the rewards will hold value and maybe even go up. Right now not a huge deal but any cards from the LS including the rewards can be used all year. It will be interesting to see how these Set Seasons play out. But you are correct, with WBC, captains and Charisma guys, there is not a huge need for LS cards in one's lineup. Usually the high 80s and low 90s are good early game lineup guys, but most everyone in my lineup 4 days in is a 92 or above.
-
Still waiting on one. Packs have been trash for me so far.
-
people can stop complaining that he is not in the game. I feel like everytime SDS announces a new legend player everyone clamors over Jeter. Now the question is who is the love child that everyone will want next?
-
Look up on youtube. I beleive Ance had the tips that I used. If I remember go right from your stronghold and make a backwards C. But try to get two knocked out on the first turn and then steal fans from the next location. It was actually pretty easy. Once you get those initial steal fans and steal strongholds in so many turns you can then slow play it like usual. In terms of games, just work the count. They will walk you or throw you a meatball when they get behind.
-
The Pirates are once of the greatest MLB puzzles of all time. I feel like they are in a constant rebuild. I feel like since the their success in the early 90s and then firesale, they have consistently developed talent or acquired prospect talent through their many deals. However, anytime they start to see that talent materialize into major league players they hit the reset button.

Great to see Crime Dog in the Hall. Wish more had been voted in today, but will take Fred McGriff.
I read an article that actually convinced me that Roger Clemens was telling the truth about not using PEDs. Since he was such a dominating pitcher since he was a rookie, he deserved to be in the HOF.
First of all, I would never condone the use of steriods or any substance that would cause long term detrimental health issue. I guess what I find amusing about the whole PED debate is that MLB was actaully ok with the use of PEDs. So they profitted off of players increasing the level of play and then cashed in with merchandise and ticket sales. Then players get caught and have to answer to Congress and MLB is just like we knew nothing and lets thow the players under the bus. SInce the begging of sport (any kind of sport) athletes have always tried to find a leg up. Pitchers have been using sticky stuff since 1900, stealing signs has been done for decades but we turn into the morality police when it comes to steriods. You also cant tell me more modern players arent doping or illegal supplementing, they are just getting smarter about hiding it.

Impressive list. I started the year strong. Had 6 LS guys p5. Then I just fizzled out. I think the last one was HRD Soto back in September. I kept changing my lineup to get stat objectives for the promos. I guess it was cool to try some different lineups out but really made getting to p5 hard.
-
Several bigger names they could have picked. Figured they would go big since the game is on life support at this point in the cycle. SDS comes in strong with.....Willy Adames. Wow!
-
its at 2242 right now. Im feeling good about getting in around the 500 mark.
-
I got in a 501 and I was refreshing like crazy.
-
You might as well. Somehow I jumped from 1 million stubs on Friday to 3 million stubs on Suday AND I got Mantle. I guess I may have over prepared for the collection. But yes drop the stubs, what else are you going to spend them on. Pretty sure next promo will be the one with all the former bosses in it so the amount of new cards we are getting from now until they pull the plug on the game will be minimal.

If you play enough it is pretty easy to obtain every card in the game. Yes, I'm talking about offline only. With the exception of the latest BR I only play offline and was able to make Mantle and I have 2.9 million stubs. It can be done.
Yes I assume with flipping which bores me so I just accept some cards I won’t acquire
No, I despise flipping myself. I just sell what I pull from the free packs we earn playing the game. Which does take some time, but nothing like flipping over and over again.
-
Cool idea. But I'm not sure I can get behind the Astros. Love Minute Maid park though and their city connect uniforms are nice
