God [censored] bunt dancing and RT holding [censored] is getting [censored] old. Ban me from the goddamn forums. Dont [censored] care. [censored] this stupid [censored] game
I know bunting is part of the game but id be fine if they removed bunting from online play altogether

Do you not hit well with Acuna? He's objectively attribute-wise the best card in the game.
I don't really care a ton about that. I won't move mantle/trout out of the lineup. Then I'm kind've platooning carroll/soto/aaron in RF...plus I'd like to use bellinger but haven't even used him yet, ditto with betts
I have soto and carroll in my big fantasy dynasty league so I like to use them because I watch them a lot
I'm really an online guy but have been slowly doing mini seasons on hof with my god squad. I've actually enjoyed it and I'm just playing, not trying to do it as fast as possible.
Point is to finish extreme but I likely won't use acuna so just not a rush. Got Polanco in my bench and will likely use degrom when I get him.
Cause nobody really needs to sell anything right now for anything new and collections are complete everywhere
My only issue, and it's not really an issue...is there are so many cards that I would like to use that I just don't have an opportunity to. A lot of players are very similar too.
Freeman card is AMAZING, but if i'm playing a god squat ranked and I have babe at DH, gehrig at 1B, platoon aaron or mantle at 1st. I just don't know if freeman would make my ranked squad because of who i'd have to drop off.
Betts won't fit in my OF because it's already crammed and I'm so good with biggio i don't want to drop him from 2B and I have j roll at p5 and value SS defense so don't want super slow betts there (relative to jroll)...Same reason why i won't really use lindor or seager (too many lefties with randy and donaldson looming)...
It's almost like you wish these cards were around early in the gaming cycle where everything was so stagnant and boring.
Yordan/Soto are also two cards I'd like to use that won't really use because of babe/gehrig taking up DH/1B and the glut of good defensive max hitting OF
But i understand the postseason cards couldn't be out there until the postseason.
New showdowns give you like 25 outs to get 3 runs or something. If you have a hard time and still want to complete you can always list draft fast guys, bunt to 2nd and then do bunt and runs. With that many outs it should still work fine

@Teak2112_MLBTS said in Freeman needs a 120 rated card:
I wonder what would have happened if the Yankees never brought in Nestor and/or pitched to Betts instead in game 1
it's not like pitching to betts with nestor is any better of a scenario than pitching to freeman with nestor
Nestor also threw a fastball inside that wasn't really a meatball down the middle, freddie even said after the game he was guessing that spot.
On top of that Freeman was seemingly injured and sitting out every other game in the nlcs...nobody would've known he is prime barry bonds this week
if nestor got him out nobody would be saying anything about bringing cortes in
I'd also say, most people prob thought moving stanton down and jazz up for game 4 wasn't the best idea...clearly boone was trying to break up the lefties...but I'd prob still do that and maybe put stanton at 3 and judge at 5
But if they hold on to win nobody is gonna 2nd guess that move, analysts will prob be praising it because everyone knows the outcome when they analyze things

Freeman world series legit needs to be 125 everything hitting wise....might as well throw a diamond glove on him too. He's got a triple too so might as well throw some speed on him
I think burnes?
@GoozeFn_PSN said in Are you good with early cards and bad with late?:
Keep in mind that pitching is leaps and bounds better than it was earlier in the season. This is likely a much bigger factor than the difference in cards. If you’re talking online, the player base at this point in the year is also better with less casuals.
I'm still hitting as good with other players though. Like the new trout, ohtani, mantle, gehrig, biggio, plus old regulars like j roll, posada, chipper (my normal wildcards)
Its a valid point but it's more players who I was very good with and their new cards I'm not good with.
Oddly enough I've done good with the new ohtani and I'm historically not great with his.
Biggest surprise to me is tatis cause I'm always good with him but the playoff card isn't clicking.
Or vice versa
This new lindor and tatis I'm hitting terrible with but my other guys in the event hitting normal.
I know last year the good trout I was terrible with but the end game trout I couldn't buy a hit.
Early Stanton wasn't good with and this postseason about every hit is a hr
Last year Carroll may have been my best card and this year awards card I've struggled with initially but picked it up lately.
Are any of these guys swings different? I try to get timing from the leg kicks and tatis Def looks close to the same
@haZZ3rd0U5stick_PSN said in Halloweek Program:
@ref479ode_PSN sell bruh. Season 4 he'll likely be in the xp path.
I have 466k stubs and a binder that's prob a kabillion. Prob doesn't matter
I'm just holding on to my binder assuming we'll have one more exchange thing for finest
I spent like 600k stubs or something a few weeks ago on Adley and still haven't used him bc I have posada a p4.5...trying to get him to P5 before I switch.
Would hate if Adley dropped back down to like 100k by the time I even used him lol
Not worth it unless you're always really good with acuna
I currently have
Shohei lf
Trout cf
Carroll rf
1b gehrig
Dh babe
With Aaron, bellinger on the bench and today I got to mantle too. Obviously the thought would be to replace Carroll but I hit so good with him...
I'm not great with Aaron but I'm pretty much just platooning him now.
So acuna could maybe replace Aaron for me but not worth the time for me and I don't want to do mini seasons
Semien usually has a good swing atleast... 99s with sub 100 clutch is kindve rough tho
I feel like Verlander is coming soon
As someone who never dies extreme... I'm fine and accept I'm just not getting acuna this year more than likely.
I've got trout, mantle, Aaron, Belli, ohtani, Carroll, Henderson, griffey, etc for the outfield as it is.
And I usually get lit up with degrom these days so maybe it's best he's not in the cycle much this year and hell maybe be more effective next year again

I played 5 solo ranked games and 1 2v2 game and got 120 points today.
Is it juiced because end of season or is it typically that quick all year?
Ive only played 35 ranked games so I don't play too many with each season
What were the scores of said games?
gm1 - 3-0 in 6
