Do you own them? Have you either bought them or pulled them in a pack?

@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN

You touched on the BIG issue with Arraez, he has absolutely ZERO defense ability and no one is putting a contact hitter at DH for 150+ games. He doesn’t even have speed to stretch out singles to doubles. He’s an oddity in today’s league, he gets on base a ton, but not enough slugging.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN

Image says XP Path Players, so I believe they’re like Doeer and Ferrell

I’ll third the notion that 18 was the worst year for this game. The Immortals and hats/bobbleheads collection was the worst decision ever made.

Sure, when hell freezes over and pigs fly.

Cheating is already bad enough, PC would make it 1000x worse

@Ditka06_MLBTS

I don’t know what else they upgrade to get him to a 92, he’s near maxed already. Maybe better control and clutch, but as someone else said, he’s a reliever, 17 innings is a tough sample size to make that big a jump. If he continues, which no one doubts, he may get to 92 mid-year.

I think Edwin hit the highest reliever mark in 2022 at 94, but that wasn’t till the end of the year if I remember correctly.

@GoozeFn_PSN

I believe you’re correct, I know they ended 25 with 1:40, but they start every year at 1:50.

@Christuffer9917_PSN

It’s been 1:50 for years and years and years…

@LIONED-33_XBL

Lindor is on IL, I don’t think they’ve ever updated someone while they were on IL.

@GoozeFn_PSN

I think it’s because stealing isn’t all about pure sprint speed, it’s 95% the jump they get that usually determines success. The fast runners make up a bad jump with speed but they aren’t always running full sprint since they’re only running maybe 50 feet (after the jump and before they have to slow down for the slide).

@Dolenz_PSN

This year - .324 vs RHP, .333 vs LHP
2025 - .258 vs RHP, .313 vs LHP

So yeah, probably a bump in contact vs RHP

2026 ISO & HR% - .152 & 3.8% vs RHP, .220 & 3.3% vs LHP
2025 - .144 & 2.7% vs RHP, .240 & 5% vs LHP

Maybe a slight bump in power vs LHP but I don’t think it would be much.

@Dolenz_PSN

SDS has never published how they determine Steal ratings but based on some community guesses it’s a combination of:

SB totals
SB success rate
attempt frequency

Naylor has such a high Steal rating because he went 19/19 in steals last year. He’s not 99 because he only stole 19.

I don’t think that’s the hard and fast rule but seems to make the most sense.

@Wilbs715_XBL

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe this is what SDS uses for attributes:

Contact - BA & K%
Power - ISO & HR%
Vision - BB% & K%

So for Pages, his BA is way up, but so is his BABIP (.382 way above league average and way over last years number so people assume he’ll regress to the mean). He may get a bump up in contact but his K% is also up so it won’t be much.

His ISO is flat at .187 and his HR% is actually down.

Walks are up so maybe an uptick to vision but again, his K% is also up.

I think they’ll bump him up 1 possibly 2 but I don’t see him going diamond.

Muncy is intriguing, his BA is waaay up and his BABIP at .316 is slightly above league avg (.295). His BB% and K% are a touch worse than last year but not far off from career avg. His ISO and HR% are up so his power is off to a better start. He’s not going diamond but could be upgraded to a low gold.

Take my analysis with a grain of salt, especially since SDS does wonky things sometimes with upgrades that surprise even the most veteran attribute investors.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN

For Chipper, it depends on how many you already have, but there’s 18 available and you need 16 to complete the collection. As a bonus, you’ll also get a Soriano after collecting 10 and a Spotlight pack for collecting 5.

Kind of a [censored] move but to be expected this year.

@TripleH-4481_PSN

Lets use a different example. Craps, it’s a game of statistical probabilities. Ever notice a craps table is dead silent then all of a sudden it’s roaring, then 15-20 mins later it’s dead silent again? There’s your waves of probabilities.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN

No, you don’t need 160k to get Elly, he’s free if you do all the spotlight programs. You’ll need the stubs to get Chipper.

@Sarge1387_PSN

This and you can use the FA cards to exchange for WBC Austin Wells if you want.

@Dolenz_PSN

Schwarber hit his 350th on 4/30, no acknowledgement from SDS. Maybe they’re ignoring him for a bit this year since he had a million cards last year, but I’d have thought at least a supercharge for a few days.

@DemIsE4_XBL

The way I understand this cheat, there’s no easy way to detect the capture card, it’s connected via HDMI, so all Sony can see is a typical normal display/HDMI chain. That’s why it’s going to take some time, they’re going to need analyze player records and inputs, which takes time that I’m sure SDS doesn’t have staff for. When Sony and Microsoft say developers have all the tools they need, they are correct, but unfortunately those tools are man hours.

@go4stros25_PSN

Agree, they really screwed a lot of people with the fake St Patty and Egg Hunt collection. They’ll do those either in a flash sale or part of the WC rewards this weekend
