It is amazing how many times Chapman has hit me in the Brosseau moment. I think he knows what is about to happen so he is preemptively hitting me. I finally passed it when I got a pitch to hit, but man he just kept throwing at my guy.

We can nearly complete the Braves rotation with lefty Steve Avery.

Tatis just helped his case a little. Judge looking good for it as well early on. It will be interesting to see who stays hot and who heats up. I have never played this game with a real season going on until now so this has been pretty fun.

I find myself watching games on MLB.TV now and wondering if I am watching a new moment for the game. The Calhoun moment is one that actually made it into the game. I like how it adds something extra to the games I watch live. This is my first year playing the game, and the actual season happening has really made the game more fun.

To each his own. Forcing to play at forbes at that time of day was a deal breaker for me.

yea i dont get the forced lock stadium thing. Doesnt make much sense. Thats not the only field around during the dead ball era

I think hey picked it cause it's teh hardest to hit dingers out of. That being said, I lost my 1st game to a walkoff Ken Griffey Sr. moonshot... I think he's on the juice now too.

Ozzie Smith hit a two run homer that bounced off the top of the wall twice in slow motion allowing him to round the bases. What fun!

I paid up and did the exchange. There was no way with the way that I play this game that I was going to get by this moment.

@Ch-76-1908 said in Top 10 SP I'd love to see added in the near future:

In no particular order

Pedro
Schilling
Big Unit
David Cone (Maybe the best pure "stuff# I've ever seen besides Pedro)
Darryl Kile
Chuck Finley
Kevin Brown (Probably the best power sinker I've seen in my lifetime)
Carlos Zambrano (My one homer pick)
Brandon Webb
Jose Rijo

Other suggestions?

Honorable mention
If they're gonna bring in 3 again like the Braves big 3 this year then how about Hudson, Mulder, and Zito? Obv not in the class of the aforementioned Braves but 3 good young SPs that all came up together.

A prime Dave Stewart would be cool. Watching an old game with him on the mound yesterday reminded me of how scary he was to face in his prime.

The worst is three straight balls and then hit square in the back.

HOW DO YOU PLAY CONQUEST! Still, after all of these years, i have no clue. Ugh

I just figured it out the other day. Not to bad just time consuming. And still figuring out when to sim and when to play

This ones easy. Play = stronghold. Sim everything else. Steal fans for mission requirements I guess and for early boost.

Only exception is if a conquest map has an "extreme" goal like "Defeat XX Team within 2-4 turns)...then it might be better to play everything to minimize losses.

@jonblaze2424 said in New conquest rewards:

HOW DO YOU PLAY CONQUEST! Still, after all of these years, i have no clue. Ugh

Start off by capturing the empty spaces. Every 3 spaces gives you 1 additional re-enforcement each round (called Fans). Eventually you need to attack the other teams strongholds and win the game to capture. Goal is typically to conquer entire map.

Nice thanks man

No problem. Conquest is time consuming...simming each square is kinda slow (used to be even slower/laggier too) and its super frustrating when you're up like 30-5 on a hex and you watch some team like the Os dwindle away 40% of your existing fans.

Other than that...there are so many free stubs/packs from doing conquest its always worth doing imo. I tend to use conquest for my daily inning missions and any offline stat missions for programs (im not a fan of the hit it and quit it method tbh).

Yea i completed the 6th inning one the other day(my first one doing) and I got so much XP and packs they are def worth it. Havent started a second one yet cause i know i will be on it for awhile lol

Dont forget they also give you like 30 points into the inning programs...some of the secondary ones like mothers/fathers day are also worth like 15 points. So if you're kind of close to a reward threshold, definitely be sure to do them.

Do you get the 30 points if you complete it again? The father and mother day points count towards the 6th inning?

You only get the completion points once.

@pinola7223 said in Mike Scott in AL Ruth Game:

I have thought this about the Live Series Awards cards. When I first saw Scott on the mound in that AL game I was scratching my head. I just don't think of him as an AL guy. Part of the weirdness of the Astros and Brewers swapping spots.

Have you also thought about how the Astros have a history of cheating?

Mike Scott's splitter had so much movement on it that they were always checking him for an Emory board or sandpaper. I remember that Keith Hernandez and Gary Carter were so befuddled by Scott's splitter that they were convinced that he was scuffing the baseball.

And we all know what the cheating Astros did these last few years.

Joe Niekro was on that team with Scott, and was famously caught with an emory board in his pocket.

This program just proved to me why I should never buy headliners again. Out of the 50 headliner packs in the program I did not pull a single headliner. The odds on that had to be astronomical, but that is my headliner luck. I think I only hit on one of the choice packs. Other than that it was gold rounds.

You can do this. I am not good at the game. I normally just play the computer on rookie to chill. I finished the extreme program about a week ago. I did all of the missions but two and made it through the conquest. The rest of the points I just racked up playing the game. Getting to Wood and getting him to P5 was huge. You got this though.

I paid up and did the exchange. There was no way with the way that I play this game that I was going to get by this moment.

@genopolanco_psn said in Damon Daily is fun:

I wonder if this is just how these Dailies are going to be now? 3 inning games, 8 TB, 6 TB….

It should be a quick check in… oh hit a double, cool.

Not some 30-45 min ordeal.

This is my thought. I think at this point Cole has more hits than me because he is always coming into my screen from the right. I thought that these were going to be quick hitters too. The way to do that would be to have in the text that he had six hits and you just need to get the last one. That is the quick moment we were told about.

@MLB365 said in Now that I have TA to 90%:

Agreed. I had 30 points to go for every team and i am just doing the conquest while i watch YouTube videos. I am done with the American League, now I gotta start on the NL. Definitely worth your time

I have been doing pretty much the same thing. Conquest is a fun way to play mindlessly and this 30 pack of maps is a great way to just try out these new cards and have it go towards something.

@RonnieGant1992 said in Its time for run it back part 2:

McCovey, Stargell, Nen, Percival, Eddie Murray, Edgar Martinez, David Price, Verlander, Braun, Dale Murphy, Robin Roberts, Olerud, Miggy, Bedrosian, Sutter, Arrieta, Plesac, Brooks Robinson, Eckersley, Carlos Gonzalez, Bellinger, Giambi, Tino Martinez, Monte Irvin, Omar Vizquel, Jason Isringhausen, Jack Morris, Cody Allen, Lefty Grove, Russell Martin, Robinson Cano, Fergie Jenkins, Ryan Zimmerman, Mark Prior, Bill Mazeroski, Adam Ottavino, Adam Dunn, Jonathan Schoop, Keith Foulke, Luis Gonzalez, MVP Judge, ROY Alonso, Cliff Floyd, Garrett Anderson, Keith Hernandez, Johnny Damon, Mike Minor, Sean Doolittle

These players either have a flashback or legend card and do not have a Awards, Prime, SS card, TA3 FOTF, or Finest card...

Those are supposed to be each players best/final card, missing so many players do not expect all to be released.

Also these are the diamond prospects from that do not have a FS card.

FS Wander Franco
FS Adley Rutschman
FS Andrew Vaughn
FS Bobby Witt
FS Drew Waters
FS Matt Manning
FS Julio Rodriguez
FS Logan Gilbert
FS Jarred Kelenic

I like the prospect idea called Run It Forward. No matter what these are great ways to get cards out there.

Mine was restored this afternoon. Breathing a big sigh of relief.

Anyone else get anything back? I sent a report in right away that they got, but my $300,000 stubs are still missing. If it were a smaller amount I wouldn't be too upset, but this is a lot of stubs to lose for no good reason.

that baseball game for TRS-80 was that "Baseball.bas" the baseball that came w the "network" bundle?

Mine was called Color Baseball. I didn't have a network bundle. I think when I played there was no such thing as a network.

they most certainly had a network its what we used in school at th time a simple command on your comp of "Kill Spool" would knock the ENTIRE network out and the teachers were left scratching thier heads. the only fix was a reinstall on the main comp LMAO!!!!!

I guess I should have said that I didn't have a network then. It was years before I had anything that would be online.
