This is the only questionable TA3 card. Probably going to be one of the best pitchers in the game from here on out idk why they didn’t give Taijuan Walker the Mets TA 3 and give him like a 97-98. Degroms live series was good enough now that he has outlier and could be paralleled to a 99. Feel like it’s too early to give out an OP Degrom this early. From this point on he will be the XP reward Kershaw and Kluber from the last two years.

Haven’t been paying attention much bc I just hopped on for the first time in 2 weeks yesterday but I’ve seen multiple ppl say there’s a collection coming on 7-15 (tomorrow) idk if it’s speculation or not.

Yup he’s starting in RF for me now over Bichette until we get some of the big name guys

@decimation92_psn said in The All Star/Derby Series makes every card irrelevant:

I don't mind them releasing great free cards, but this was undoubtedly done too early. This feels like the Finest series cards from 19, literally handing out God level cards for all the great/likable/marketable players on each team. But that was done at like the 10th or 11th inning program that year. Towards the end of the cycle

Content this good should've came at around the 6th-7th inning at the earliest. Everything that came before this feels boring or obsolete now. And what comes after this? Is every single new card supposed to be a 5 tool stud? Idk, SDS always delivers on the content but I feel they took it too far with TA3 & these HRD cards. The HRD cards should all have worse contact across the board.

And 125 ratings shouldn't be getting handed out like candy. All future content is going to require hitting stats like this for people to get excited. But when that happens it's just like "well I already have cards that hit like this". Just makes things feel a little redundant. And makes the anticipation for future content less exciting. Which shouldn't be happing this early in the year

This is the best comment in the thread. That’s what I thought when I saw these cards is that they just released finest cards in the middle of July. All new content will have to be a 98-99 overall now to compete with these TA 3 cards. I think it was just done wayyy too early. Also that 99 Degrom is going to be an annoyance in RS from here on out. Should have given Taijuan Walker a 97 for the Mets. Degroms live series was good enough with the addition of outlier to it.

So we have to collect all but two for Ohtani?

Thank god. Because I do not want to see that Ohtani card every game. His live series is hard enough to hit with the speed differentials lol

My batting avg is like .258 with Thome but I attribute that to facing so many lefties all the time. Whenever I face righties I hit at least 1 homerun in a game with him.

@namtrah22_psn said in Give me my controller back:

It's most likely your analog if you are getting analog drift. It also could be that your swinging before your PCI reaches its final destination. So say you are moving your PCI to where the ball is going but you are pressing x to swing simultaneously you could be swinging before your PCI has moved to the location you wanted to bring it to. I do it all the time.

I know drift. I just replaced a PS5 controller that had drift...on ALL games.

Can't say I'm not hitting "X" while moving my swing. But, the problem with that theory is..I'm moving the controller straight up...why would it show my final position as up right?

But, I'm not going to call someone wrong that's trying to help. Will pay really close attention and make sure that isn't what's going on, but I'm pretty sure it's not.

You’d be surprised. The PCI is pretty sensitive so the slightest movement right while bringing it up on top of swinging before the PCI is where it’s intended to be would definitely cause it. It’s something that happens to me and I’ve been trying to be more conscious of it. But catching up to 102 heaters is tough while also whacking your PCI to the correct location.

@namtrah22_psn said in How do you get 25 wins in 2 hours?:

most likely someone really good that just crushes his opponent into quitting after the first inning especially on all-star I'd imagine a lot of the top players would have no problem putting up 5-8 runs on most event opponents pretty easily.

25 times? Lol nope

Yea most likely not, but SDS won't do anything about it so really we're all just yelling at the sky. They still won't fix people glitching their way to the inning bosses in 1-2 hours which is more game breaking then someone getting event wins.

@hikes83_psn said in What to do to get CAP catcher?:

Something like bronze archetype active before game then choose your maxed out archetype when entering game? Which bronze archetype do you need?

This works perfectly….my Diamond defense shortstop is now a Diamond catcher.

Wait... I can put my sparkplug Hawk at catcher?

My least favorite people to play are the people that cheese base running with all speed lineups and take advantage of the horrible in game animations and no urgency throwing. One of the only things that makes me rage.

Considering it wasn’t a glitch and was accomplished using a method they allowed they can’t ban anyone for it. That does stink you didn’t take advantage while you should have though.

@raesone_psn said in Respect to those who got 12-0 BR:

You'll get it done and then once you've taken that mental hurdle it will become easier to repeat. Gotta have some luck in every run with your matchups and when you do face a goon, you gotta get rewarded for your good swings and hope the game cheats your opponent on their good swings.

Definitely takes a good amount of luck. Had a 11 win run last week in my last game I was down 1 in the bottom of the 3rd hit a perfect perfect with 96 Trevor story with a runner on base and it was a line out to left field. Mike Trout was my 12 win reward. Still don’t have him that was the closest I’ve been and what feels like the closest I’ll get this year until I inevitably fork over the stubs for him.

Only have ever gone 12-0 in BR one time. I go 9 and 10-0 often and then always choke or just play someone better than me. Truly think it’s the hardest thing to do in DD. I’ve only got to 12 wins once this year after about 5-6 runs of getting to 11 wins.

I’ve been using Maddux and pitched a complete game shutout with him in his debut. Haven’t played anyone that’s used him. Forces a lot of weak contact.

@ebbets1957_psn said in Collection Speculation:

Before the Mega Collection is released, I have a strong suspicion there is going to be a "new" Prospects Collections coming in short order AFTER the Kelenic collection at 10. Making the USA Map get choice packs of 5 now seems to indicate that is coming quickly. My guess is, collect 30-35 prospects to get either a higher rated Wander Franco back OR possibly Top Prospect Spencer Torkelson

I do think Tork will be the final prospect collection card one of the only top prospects without a card in the game and last years #1 pick. With Wander / and Adley now in MLB Tork is going to slot into the #1 prospect position once they lose their prospect eligibility. Really would love a 99 Torkelson card would be awesome the power/contact combo he will be an endgame 3rd/1st baseman. As long as they don’t give him a bad swing.

I think Acuna is very good. Still use him on my ranked team and start him. His PCI is small vs righties but it’s manageable especially when he has a nice inside edge boost.

Just give me a 99 Spencer Torkelson
