I didn’t care for him and sold him. His pitches didn’t have much movement.

Hoping my buy order goes through soon. Cant wait to try him out!

Shame but I already have my order in as I am trying to get them all. Really liked using his 88 diamond early in the year too but agree at this point in the game cycle (and outside events where the 95 Wainwright is pretty darn effective right now) you'd be crazy to roll out a 95 and expect good things. Hopefully he gets a proper 99 next year.

I highly recommend goose, best bullpen card in the game, I played to get him..and would understand not being able to spend that on a bullpen card

muthead.com - madden
2kgamer.com

As toxic as this forum can be at times, I’ve found much worse in the two above. It’s a shame. Must go with the highly competitive nature of sports games though I have found Operation Sports to be pretty good and helpful in general.

I don’t know about 2kgamer, but Muthead charged for certain site features such as changing user names. At least they did in the past, I haven’t been to either one in at least a few years because of their environments. They may have improved since.

@Vipersneak said in Got 1,000,000 stubs for the first time this year. Who should I buy??:

Not sure why anyone cares about the 1 million stub guys. They aren't better than the under 1 million stub guys, just more rare.

Collection purposes. Some of us are completionists so we need to chase every card. These Ultimate Team games know this

Deadly sinker/cutter combo...Only downside is he usually doesn’t last more than 5 innings.

@JediOfArgonath said in Didn't really want to lock in the Finest collection for Lindor, but.....:

For what it’s worth Lindor has been amazing. Hits moonshots from both sides of the plate & has stellar defense & jump on the ball....One thing - I would recommend playing him at 2nd, His arm is weak and would sometimes miss throwing out the guy at first. Hasn’t been an issue since I moved him to 2nd.

That Lindor card is very under rated. Starts at 2nd for me much of the time.

@PhillyRunt44 said in Kenley Jansen reviews?:

So I've been getting lit up with finest Hendriks so matter where I throw or what I throw he blows the game. I think he's blown every game he's pitched in except maybe 1. I decided to sell off access inventory, finish some ta stage 4s to sell last night, and I had enough stubs to buy him. My buy order went through last night, and I'm excited to try him out!! Any reviews? Good/bad?? Any input is appreciated, thanks!!

Just like almost every pitcher he is no good on All-Star difficulty but he is good on HOF difficulty and above

@PhillyRunt44 said in Event Question:

Does anyone know if you'll be able to use any finest player like the current event or just finest players from central teams?

It would just be finest players from Central teams. Any players from central teams for that Matter

Thanks what I thought, but couldn't remember the first part of the event. Thanks!!

Hes like a starting Crochet.

@lazy_toast said in Arrieta reviews??:

The thing that intrigues me slightly is his slider hits 90. Could fool a lot of people off the fastball. Not sure how many other pitchers have a slider like that. At this point your paying for name recognition I think

degrom slider hits 93-95. Syndergaard im pretty sure is low 90s as well.

Yes! It makes me wonder what the pitching coaches are doing in New York, because it seems as though the Mets have several guys, in both their rotation and bullpen, who throw their sliders at 90 mph or harder.

I have prestige Tatis and I love him

No and anyone saying yes just doesn't hit with fox. The defense is barely noticeable as you may give up an extra base runner ever 5 to 10 games. Hitting wise tho will be night and day unless you play on all star and then disregard everything i said and play either as they are probably the same card.

The majority of the pitching I'm facing is righties, and against lefties Perez hits enough singles and gappers tp be ok. he has thrown way more runners out as well as had way fewer past balls. As I a mable to strike more guys out on HOF blocking does matter more to me anyway for those hard breaking balls in the dirt tunneled off low fastballs.

I probably will toss Foxx back in and use him some more, but I hit well with both and now play mostly on HOF.

I just don't have those problems. Foxx throws about half the runners out but i vary my movement. Foxx does have passed balls but again it's only one per every 5 to 10 games. I do think perez is a beast on all star but fox is way better on hof and legend.

You are lucky then. Foxx compared to Perez defensively is a very noticeable difference IMO. And Perez is just as good on HOF and legend as Foxx is against righties. I don’t think I’ve faced a lefty besides Kershaw, Paxton, Chapman, Crochet, and Hand in quite some time. Foxx is one of my favorite cards in the game but I can’t justify playing him at Catcher over Perez. If you really want Bellinger, Babe or Gehrig at 1st then Foxx can go behind the dish(although he isn’t bad at 3rd either), but Perez is more than worthy of being an endgame catcher

I think fox's swing is better than perez. I actually like j.t better swing wise than perez. Again i don't notice the defense and the swing difference on hof is noticeable to me. Babe >>>> than perez too so i can't move him there. I may try him at third but machado is a beast too..

Yeah I f’n suck with Machado. I’m probably going to play Bellinger at first, Perez at Catcher, and Foxx at 3rd tbh. I think Perez has one of the best swings in the game(although not as good as Foxx). Swings are all personal opinion anyway

Machado is as good as babe is for me. He is one of the cards that gets rewarded for late side of good. My problem is his defense. He has diamond defense but he moves in mud. Jose played a better third base than he does which just shouldn't happen.

Agree. Just not worth the time investment in an event where you can just quit out without penalty and find a "better" opponent.

Fk called stub sale

Add Bauer to that list. Just finished the Reds TA stage 4....

Dibble is unhittable if used correctly and the game allows you to pitch accurately!
