As one of the few people that actually likes playing conquest, I approve of this.

As a guy that plays a lot of conquest.
**** YES!

@buttmuncher150 said in Who’s your Top 3 endgame outfielders?:

Is Mays honestly better than mantle? Mantle is my best players and I have Trout and Griffey

At this point in the game all those cards are so close that I'd say go with what you are most comfortable with and hit best with.

Didn't take too long, about 2 hours. However, would've been like 20 minutes quicker if this didn't happen.

Grandal 2XB moment. Runners on 2nd and 3rd. Hit a ball of the wall. Guy on 2nd literally doesn't run and I don't get my double. I can't say it enough, we should have full control of all the runners during these moments.

A real slap in the face to those who bought stubs last time around seeing how it's an extra 10% off this time around.

Can't wait to pull low round every time.

smh i thought it was at 3. Besides the three bosses any other news?

-99 Royce Lewis Headliner

-Headliner 50 (Wednesday) will be the last

-3 Future Stars Henchmen 96 Ian Anderson, 96 Sean Murphy, 96 Mitch Keller

-96 GG Torii Hunter player program

-Ducks Conquest Map. Reward is Elite DotP Pack. 19 packs total, I think?

-Topps Now players 97 Wil Myers, 96 Ahmed Rosario, 95 Donovan Solaro, 95 Eric Sogard, 95 Deivi Garcia

Think that's all of it.

@TEXAS10PT_PSN said in Just to play Devil’s advocate:

I've bought and played this series every year since before it was MLB The Show (989 Sports). If this is the model going forward, it is enough for me to throw in the towel. .Seriously this is not a model to keep people coming back for more. If next year is the same Sets/Seasons, I'm gone for good and I suspect I'm not the only one who feels this way. I'm not waiting until January to use the cards I earned through Set 3.

I've only been playing since 15, but I feel the exact same way you do.

This Set in particular feels like they really missed the mark.

-TA at this point should no longer be grinding for 97 cards.
-Snapshot series seems like lazy and uninspired card design.
-A lot of cards going backwards in ranking.
-Releasing another 99 of a card that already has one (and in some cases, worse than the original).
-Getting multiple 99s of the same player card while still waiting for other fan favorite cards to get their first 99.

I'm about 2 1/2 hours in and am just past the halfway mark towards Aguilar, so I'm also looking at about 5 hours. For a reference, I don't think April & May took me 5 hours combined. So this has easily been the most time consuming so far. However, the pitching has been beyond abysmal. I'd be surprised if 15-20% of the pitches I've seen so far have been strikes.

I agree with the OP, also I need full control of base runners. It's frustrating to lose so many XB missions because guys won't run.

Bunch of Red Sox players that I'd love to see:

MVP - Carl Yastrzemski
MVP - Fred Lynn
MVP - Jim Rice
MVP - Mo Vaughn
MVP - Mookie Betts
Cy Young - Pedro Martinez
Cy Young - Roger Clemens
Prime - Nomar Garciaparra
Prime - Jonathan Papelbon
Silver Slugger - Ellis Burks
Silver Slugger - Manny Ramirez
Silver Slugger/Gold Glove - Jason Varitek
Playoff - Mike Lowell
Playoff - Josh Beckett
Playoff - Koji Uehara
All Star - Luis Tiant
Rookie - Carlton Fisk

Feel like Mookie would be a too high in demand card for a headliner.
Hope I'm wrong though, I want that one pretty bad.

This might be the first time I actually get to use the Babe Ruth card. Nice.

A lot of those teams have some really good Topps Now cards that you can get for free or cheap on the market.

Rays - Choi
Blue Jays - Bichette, Shaw
White Sox - Abreu
Athletics - Piscotty
Astros - Alvarez
Braves - Duvall, Swanson, D'Arnaud, Ozuna
Marlins - Alfaro
Mets - Conforto, Rosario, Nido
Reds - Suarez
Cardinals - Miller
Diamondbacks - Calhoun
Dodgers - Hernandez, Rios
Padres - Myers, Grisham

Mookie Betts has 62 speed. He looked like the fastest player on the field throughout the playoffs.
If he isn't at least 80, they don't watch baseball.

I'll also hop aboard the Joe Morgan train. He is my starting 2B vs. RHP.
Guy does nothing but hit bombs and get on base.

I want this as well.

I'd just like to sim a season and see how my best squad would do and what their numbers would be like.

I'm also a big fan of the Brev. I think he's not only one of the most creative guys out there, but one of the best at staying involved with his chat during streams. He also does a great job at breaking down how to play the game.
