I use zoom or strike zone 3 at times. For some reason, cannot save the camera setting for diamond dynasty.

I also suggest you try a customized one and try zooming in and out, lifting the plane etc. Currently I'm using a customized version of zoom

Yes, in 2019.

Are you able to do the showdown consistently? Way faster to finish it you can do it.

I think the OP and other guy are saying they like to play the conquest over the showdown to get parallel points. I think most people have enough stubs that they are past the point of grinding the elementary school difficulty of RIB Showdown

Oh gotcha. I guess if you're playing to parallel then it's a good payoff at the end.

@ericulous1_psn said in 99 Johnny Bench:

Mike Schmidt murders the ball for me. Same with Mays but I do agree with you guys on Bench and so far Bagwell.

I hit good with Mays and Schmidt also but the pitch must be away for me. Whenever you play online with these guys, you see nothing but high inside heat because it is well known its hard to turn with these guys. If you have a secret on how you hit so well with these guys, do you mind sharing?

My secret is that I don't use them online hahaha. No, you're totally right. Offline, is a much different animal and I have no trouble with the old timers closed stances. But online I'm sure I'd be stumped .

Yep, that's the basic idea. Also identifying which cards have the best margins and move at a pace you're comfortable with. If you want any tips, I'm happy to help, just DM me, or watch a YouTube video. I didn't learn till halfway through the season but it changed my game. I play some online but not great. I've finished BR once, that's it. Flipping cards made it so I could collect everything.......except that stupid Alomar card, the extinct Bronze Killebrew...and Trout but I'll have him soon....ish....next year....or something like that.

@snakeeyes23_psn said in Off-Season Programs:

So other than Run-It-Back Conquest and Showdown, what other offline programs will be available to grind repetitively for stubs?

Last year in December SDS released 30 team conquest maps, that was fun and I hope they do that again this year.

@snakeeyes23_psn said in 10th Inning Henchmen:

An Awards Cy Young Guidry would be awesome. His 1978 season is one of the best a pitcher could have. 25-4 and 1.74.

He’s be very good on paper, but pretty bad in-game.

@snakeeyes23_psn said in Reggie has his older number:

The 99 OVR Reggie Jackson has his first player jersey number 9 that he used initially with the A’s and Orioles. Not his more recognized 44 with the Yankees, Angels and eventually with the A’s.

His 99 card last year was a Yankees card and they had him wearing number 9 as well.

Hernandez just went through. I’ll leave the Jones order in. It’s only 2,500 set aside.

@snakeeyes23_psn said in Paralleled Cards That Improved or Got Worse:

It seems that for some cards, too much power can lead to more pop ups than line drive hits.

I don't think that power directly leads to more pop ups. Pop ups are caused by poor contact, which can be further increased by poor PCI placement. From my experience, anyway. If I hit a shallow fly or infield pop-up, it's usually from me getting way under the ball or just taking a garbage swing in general.

@snakeeyes23_psn said in Rickey Batting Stance:

Rickey has such a distinct stance, yet they have him knock kneed like Pete Rose. Come on!

I guess they can't get it 100% right.
Imagine if they had to replicate Craig Counsell's?
Mo cap would take about 50 takes to get it right!

@argentin32_xbl said in 99 Joe Morgan:

Now I don't feel so bad knowing I ponied up 240k for him a month or so ago.

Same. I got Vlad, Wander and Murray two flash sales ago for like 290k total, so when I paid 250k for Morgan it hurt haha. Well worth it and stubs aren't real anyway hahaha. Like a company credit card.....

....so I've heard.

@metalnuck_xbl said in Ballin’ Is Not a Habit:

Still better than what the majority of packs in other sports games give you. I haven’t played fifa since 17, really no FUT since 15 but the most recents I’ve tried thanks to game pass NHL and NBA seem to give you nothing but absolute table scraps.

True. NHL gives you limited time Legends, either time sensitive or game limits. I be like: 'Nukka, please....' 🤣
I did pull an Ovi from an NHL pack last year. I was jumping up and down like a foow 🤪

@scotty2hot-y_xbl said in 95 Mattingly is better than the 99 Mattingly:

Offline the CPU will definitely pitch your higher rated cards more selectively than it already does.
With your higher tiered cards, you definitely can't be looking to swing early in the count.

This is why I have a grind squad made up of 97 goons, ASG HRD etc., that still get pitches to hit and I don't have to wait forever for strikes, like I do when I try to play the CPU with heavy hitters like 99 Mantle, Frank Thomas, etc. Offline grinding with them takes too much time and patience.

Good point. Thanks for the tips. Do you also think dropping a 99 card in the order may help or having him protected by a strong 99 also behind him?

@snakeeyes23_psn said in Joe Ross:

Can SDS fix Joe Ross? In these Moment challenges, he can’t throw a strike to save his life.

If I was Joe Ross, I’d be upset about my performance in a video game.

Haha Joe Ross can never throw strikes in any moment. This is nothing new

Imagine the bat breaking animation

Strike out Machado and you might get to see that animation. I did it on 4/26/21 and it was awesome! (I only know the date because I told my buddies about it in Discord).
