I beat the extreme first shot, but I embrace bunt cheese. Garret Hampson MVP. Although I might not have needed to, Santander and Zack Collins crushed it consistently. Seemed same as past ones.

I dont touch the other showdown, even though its probably a fast way to get TA exp.

We’re all using lower overall rated cards now, and the CPU pitching we’re facing stayed the same. There is a noticeable difference, that I attribute to that.

Rookie sucks, you will be more rewarded by working the count and making contact when ahead. Hard to get ahead on rookie when the cpu throws strikes. I say play on veteran

It's this or Allstar for me. Well, used to be Allstar. I've found on AS it's either a just-barely-dotted strike, a generous strike, or a ball...nothing's ever a meatball/mistake. The issue with that is my eye tells me to take.

I'm disappointed but not surprised. I feel like LS collection card rewards for NL and AL plus overall should be the only 99 for that player for the entire year.

Big mac's 99 core from the A's has the worst swing in the game, i don't mind this 99 he gets, and the 99 core sosa was already crazy, completely fine with this program.

Took me 3 times and Bobby Miller was my two knockouts....I did get very lucky winning 3 of those games on my final out when I did beat it all the way through. If you get all the runs to do the final showdown tied it's pretty easy.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised that they did that, it made the final boss very easy.

I usually play on Veteran but for the heck of it played a game vs Houston on rookie. The game went 7 innings before I finally won 3-1. The ball just moves so slow I can’t time it.

I seem to remember that right around the Brett Collection drop, diamond pulls, even low level ones, became scarce.

Funny how peoples views differ if I never had to play one again I’d be thrilled

It’s not even that. I don’t fail because of it. It’s just annoying because the games take longer. That’s why SDS did it in the first place. It’s obvious.

Yeah, took a week or so off for vacation. Noticed two things. One, great! The other, hmmmm…

Great thing. On the supercharged players, their boosted stats now display and are easily seen. Had to do math before this last update to see their new stats. Thanks, SDS.

The Hmmmmm. My pitchers are a lot wilder than they were previously. Call for a pitch high and tight. Often, low and outside. Try to hit a low corner? Pitch is in the dirt. Definitely noticeable.

Simple, play against the CPU (Conquest/mini seasons, whatever) hold R2 to take a lead the CPU almost never throws over, take off as soon as they pitch. I have at least 20 stolen bases since the Halladay program dropped. Use guys like Buxton

False. They pick off constantly. Literally anytime you even think about pushing a button to lead off or steal.

Fair enough, it's worked for me so far though
