This thread is very good for my lucidity.

I am new to the game and the franchise. I started playing one week ago. I am in the Diamond Dynasty mode, alterning between programs and three innings games in a mini-season. I play at veteran difficulty.

I have no comparative, but my team seems to be quite good on paper. I think it is graded 85 (don't laugh old timers who have seen the Flood).

Even then, hitting is a nightmare. I am already really good at pitching. Last night, I throw seven hitless innings (in mini-season). But, as you may guess, I lose the game 1-0, because I got only two hits - and I am very very bad at making my guys run for more than one base at a time...

I tried different camera angles. I tried all three hitting modes. I spent a lot of time in practice mode. Even though, I just can't hit the ball with power and regularity. And when I do, the CPU just seems to find a way to catch it. In the meantime, every ball hit in the outfield against me turn into an adventure...

After reading every words of what you all have to say, I realized I might not be a lost cause! This game seems to be hard for everyone! There is no need for me to give it up or throw my controler at the wall!

Thanks for that, guys!

Now I need to find a way to hit better so I can get more packs. I am really addict to packs (even though I know that a big majority of them are disappointing). I just can't get enough of that unwrapping sound!!

@yankblan_PSN So it was all a placebo effect...

Man, this game is really messing with me!

Thanks for the answers, guys!

It is a great and helpful community you have here!

Hi,

I don't know if this have been reporter, but I have issues with the Team affinity programs on the app (the app is on my iPhone, I play the game on Switch).

When I choose "American League" or "National League", instead of seeing each team and my progress in percentage, I see a big gray square.

So, now, it is impossible for me to check my progress.

Does anybody have the same issue? Is there something I can do to fix the problem (like erasing the app and uploading it?)

Thanks for your answers, guys!

I tried to do the exchanges on the app. No luck. I will try later tonight in the game.

Very impress with the speed and the quality of the answers! Very appreciated!

I am getting an "Invalid Code" message.

Thanks for your answers, guys.

I am just happy to see that I am not the only one with the issue. In a way, this is conforting.

This is not the end of the world. I can use the game to see my progress in various programs. But when I grind, I use my app a lot to see wich players I need to play. I have lost this tool for the moment. No biggie.

New to the game and the franchise since two weeks.

I recently discover the concept of missions (before that, I use to only play with the same players on my main squad).

I want to know what are your strategy regarding missions.

I am guessing that everyone have a squad that is his/her optimal team used for "important game"? I

f so, do you have three other squads, with various players, that you play for fun to help you achieve team, type of card and players missions?

I ask because I am not sure how to play it.

It is clear to me that Squad 1 should be my best team.

But should I put together three other squads with different players? Two with very good players and one with rotating players, in regard of wich mission I am after?

For example, in the following days, I will attack the Tokyo Spring missions, as long as the Bobby Abreu ones. None of the players needed are on my main squad.

Should I build a squad just to achieve these missions, only to dismantle it right after? Should I just add two or three japanese players (or Abreu) to my main squad up until I achieve the missions?

I am sure there is not one single good answer to the question I have. I am just curious to know how do you guys handle all of it - or, even, if I am putting too much thinking into it lol

Thanks in advance for your answers

Amen to all that.

As a new player, I can't believe how much these Cairo Cats have much more Stubs to burn than me!

Still does not work on my iPhone.

I finally unlock Carroll this week-end. Can't wait to try him.

As for Harper, I have a lot of grinding to do before unlocking him!

I am new to the game and the saga. Played my first game two weeks ago. I am learning on the fly.

For the Live Serie, I checked every reward when you complete a team and decide to go with only ten (mainly teams that reward me with a legend and NOT an actual player). At time, I did not understand much of the concept. I am happy to report I did not choose the Yankees (so I don't have to buy Judge), but I choose the Dodgers (hello Shohei!).

I am in no rush to complete any of these series. I have about one fourth of every team cards at the moment. I only add to these collections via cards I pull from packs. Like I said, I am not in a hurry. I only play against the CPU and I have to say that I really like my team at the moment (almost just Legends).

As to get packs, I play about one complete game against the Rockies every day, wich helps with stubs and missions. I spend the rest of my time on missions, moments and mini-seasons, again to grind packs and stubs.

It takes me more time than others to harvest stubs. A good night is about 10 000.

My next buy will be Andre Dawson as I try to put on my squad every players avalaible in the game that had a great carreer with the Montreal Expos. At the moment, I have Tim Raines. I have my eyes on Gary Carter (reward for completing the Nationals Live Series), Larry Walker (Cards Live Series) and Vladdy Sr (it looks like some kind of reward, but I did not investigate it yet).

So, if I have to spend stubs on Live Serie cards, it would be to complete the Nats and the Cards. The rest will come from packs.

It works! Life is good again!

Thanks @pat_sds
