I'm probably the best in the world at striking out. I do it very well in online play. Offline, I'm really good at grounding into double plays.

Sweet, another post about contact swings.

It also states Division Program, which would indicate a similar format to TA1. If that’s the case, choice packs, along with likely staples that include exchanges, Showdowns, MTO and Conquest map. I’m sure inning accumulation and moments will be included as well. I think it will be petty easy.

I sure hope so. I'm finishing up my last one from stage 1 tonight. It has been a grind, but it's been an easy grind. I like that I can grind innings with a team made up of an entire division instead of just one team.

I'd say they are pretty good since there is no expiration times on stage 1.

2K obviously doesn't want to make a baseball game seeing as there is nothing stopping them like an exclusivity deal. If you want 2k to make a baseball game, go BabyRage on their boards.

@x-alec_j-x_psn said in Homerun Derby moment against Ramone in AS Acuna Program!:

I thought it was a fun moment. It took me a minute to get used to Ramone's "fast" ball. Once i got locked it, it was pretty easy.

I like when they think outside the box with these Moments though. It breaks up the monotony of the usual ones.

Someone at SDS get Ramone on a throwing program for next year!

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that had a little trouble waiting out the pitches.

Really amazing what you can do in this game without spending any money, here’s my team so far (94-95 overall)

Some notable cards:

P5 Jackie: I was number 13/ to P4 but after taking a break from the game, I now got 542/, still really cool that I got a number ending in 42.

P5 Trout: 3.6k/ on Trout here, but having this P5 at all is an accomplishment in it of itself, really fun card. I pulled him in a TA pack earlier this year, part of how I was able to get him and finish the AL without spending a dime .

P5 Darren O’Day: 1/1! This is my first ever number one superfractor of the year, glad I was able to do it for a Yankee!

I was two behind you on O'Day.

Stream is coming up fine on youtube

@silverbullet3519 said in TA season 2 reveals:

I hope they release the pre-order 42 cards in packs or as progress rewards in TA2. I still need the 5 most expensive ones and am holding off until we see what TA2 brings.

I'm guessing these will be the final reward for each division .

@go4stros25_psn said in SDS, can we please make pitchers throw a reasonable amount of strikes in moments you need hits?:

By comparison, just did the dibble middle boss. 70% strikes in the zone.

Obviously SDS did something that there is a difference between moments where walks help and you need hits.

Dude showdowns are so rigged against you its rediculous. I eventually gave up and just finished all the TAs by doing the missions and loading my lineup with players from the division I was going after. So much easier.

Also doing it that way will give you an excuse to complete the USA map again and get the 6 prospects packs and a free 10 bundle.

I did this, too. Showdown may be faster, but grinding innings on conquest was less stressful.

What system?

Every pitch is a strike if you swing at it, but in all seriousness, yeah, that's hella frustrating.

His name was Robert Pauson. His name was Robert Pauson...er I mean Paulson.

That catcher looks nice. Piazza may be taking a seat soon, especially since I can't seem to get under the ball with him.
