Trying to not be disappointed, but I am still trying to wrap my brain around why Bob Gibson gets a 85 breakout, and then Dane Dunning gets a 91 FS. Something doesn't feel right about this. Dunning might never post an MLB ERA under 4, let alone a 1.12.

They are celebrating 100 years since the start of the Negro Leagues. Wouldn't it be great of SDS helped celebrate this by giving us some these great players. Wouldn't this also nicely align with BLM and help today's generation get to know these pioneers of the game?

With the universal DH rule coming for this year, and possibly here to stay, it is time to give us the DH.

It is early so I think we are all trying to take it all in. But I would like to hear what everyone else likes and doesn't like. Lots of changes so far.

Likes-
Gameplay, so far this has been smooth and in my limited playing so far no weird fielding glitches.

Program XP path combined, I like this I think this will allow for a scaling up in the rewards as the season goes on. No more getting live series diamonds two months after you have grinded for every live series diamond.

Legends- Lots of legends that are in the game early on.

Dislikes-
New menus, I find it hard to find what you are looking for and not very intuitive. I am still open minded on this one.

Collections no XP and few stubs, confused why this happened, always been a good source of early XP and stubs. Not much incentive to do any early collection if you don't have the whole set.

Topps now- not sure why they went pack to selling the packs, here is hoping they don't go back to the old way on the Monthly awards program. Last years Monthly awards programs (especially the last two) were awesome.

Theshow site, how do you not have this ready for the early access? Biggest let down for me is I can't starting flipping or collecting from work in my downtime.

I have to agree the Affinity packs are [censored], we are all going to end up with lots of dup cards that we can't sell or exchange. Allowing people to sell or exchange duplicates but keeping at least one copy seem to make more sense. I am hoping they will adjust this in the game, otherwise stop giving us these packs. What is the point?

Hank Aaron

There are only 39 Monthly awards cards right now so no way to have 45...

Website has been terrible lately, dashboard is down, squads is down. Slower than usual load times.

Something is happening with the website. It has been a mess today, the forums seem to be fine though.

Yes the site has been pretty trash today.

Shane is a legend and not a flashback. I think Merrifield is a safe bet.

The conquest rewards this year have been terrible

It was pretty rough yesterday it was making it hard to buy and sell anything. I had hoped today would be better, but now it is actually worse. I can't even get it to load.

I loved that Ramone slipped and called it the Mariano Collection early in the stream before the "reveal"

So far no for me

Xander and Stanton are the two most likely I think. JD if he keeps it up could he was one in 2019, but his defense always holds him back.

Ya PSN is down

I lost Tyler Stephenson from my Topps now pack. I got the pack back and reopened it that same day. But I also didn't get one of my TA gold card choice packs and nothings has happened yet. So I guess I am saying I might have got lucky the first time.

It is harder this year, last year was pretty easy. Dee Gordon and Jimmy Rollins gold cards though are pretty slick for base stealing. And also best when the count has at least two balls.
