Thx. I wanted him to be a SP.

I earned the Weaver spotlight card but it won’t appear when I try to put him in the rotation. I see the card everywhere else. Ideas?

It appears that my wildcard was awarded to my cornerstone captain. I’m not sure how that happened. Any ideas on how to remove the wildcard designation?

@yankblan On it. Thx for the tips!

@Blind_Bleeder Had purchased the 8bitdo ulocontroller. I like the custom ability and performance so far. Keeping this suggestion in mind, thx.

Thanks guys. To be clear, I don’t expect to dominate my first season. I’m enjoying this game immensely. I just want to be progressing to where I can help carry the co-op team occasionally and not be so dependent on the better players.

@Blind_Bleeder Yes. Sometimes I really rake against the CPU and other times, it cracks down on me. I can win on rookie and vet settings but really struggle on all-star and higher (although I can win on legend). It seems pitching is right where I want it to be but I go online and get lit up.
I am clearly overmatched when hitting online. They say pitch recognition comes with experience. I thought I would have seen a difference by now.

This morning I’ve determined that I really cannot hit. Zone, directional or timing- I’m not getting it. Rank in the high 300s or so. And yes, I’m not custom practicing. My cards are good, but none from BR because I just can’t compete.
So, how long did it take for you to get better at hitting? Was the custom practice necessary? If so, did you find a way to make that fun?

While we’re talking about the wheel…….any patterns I should look for? I get a silver more than anything and never a diamond.

@Ledfoot_19 You gotta go mini seasons. I got it done in less than a week easy.

@YeahBruv412 Yeah, but we’ll get reeeeeeaaally cool cards.

So, there’s really no reason not to sell or exchange all of my dupes?

You guys are the best. I also had trouble finding the pack. Kinda bummed me out. Seeing this, being able to get information in this forum, is really helpful! Thanks!

First year player here.
So I understand I’ll only be able to keep four cards in 24 days, but what happens to the rest of my collection?
Also, do I want to save stubs for the start of season 2? Will it be a complete restart (with 4 carryover cards)?

I see on YouTube a player talks about the pci getting bigger or smaller. Is this only at a certain level or setting. My pci seems static.

What value do uniforms have? Is there a reason to not sell dupes?

I would like to play the bandboxes too. Do I have to buy a PS5 to do so?

Last night my app shows I sold all of the cards I had for sale at the price I asked for. My stubs reflect this gain. I looked on the players card and it doesn’t show a price spike. Does this mean it’s a glitch?

@flamexJD20 sure, we all have the right to play the game how we choose. That doesn’t make it right.

I’m new to The Show and I get “mercied” almost always. I haven’t played video games for decades but I used to be a player others would watch play (at the arcade).
Point is, I know what investing money and time in a game and making progress feels like. If a game is too easy, the progress doesn’t feel so good.
Right now, I look in my game for signs of improvement. I know there will be a time when the shoe is on the other foot and I’ll be I’ll be the one mercy-ing others but, if I were really in a hurry for that level, I’d spend more time in the batting cage (practice fields). I’d probably allow myself to spend real money too but that’s not how it’s going to work.
I’m going to take my moral victories and tolerate the palpable pity from my opponents who are writing players like me off as “terrible” when it’s just that I’m inexperienced for now. I’m learning from them. Also, I understand and it’s ok. I’ve been there.
This is a game. Have fun. The community has been great and there are so many ways to customize your experience to make it right for you.
Finally, think about this. Last year, Michael Massey, a Royals rookie, had a HORRIFIC start to his career. It was painfully bad. He got better and they asked him how he got through it and he said “You have to embrace the suck”. The Navy Seals use the phrase to deal with difficult situations too.
Stick with it and learn and you will get better!
