I may be older than most here but back when i use to collect, they use to have these special 'chrome' or 'sticker' cards in packs if you got lucky.

that's what these remind me of. just terrific job w/ the art. love it!

Like me.

Nice and relaxing way to get into online. Really fun.

I had an incredible game. Down 6-0 in the bot 3rd, got 6 hrs, no kdding.

then the guy got 3 in the top of the 4th. I got 4 in the bot 4 to walk off win it w a Nelson Cruz bomb!

Guy quit while the ball was going out.

Whoever you are good game.

It was probably the easiest program to complete this year. I think I did it in an hour's time.

8.5/10 - best Show since 17.

As an offline gamer, the best Show ever and maybe the best sports game ever due to all the free content for offline gamers.

Bravo SDS!

@joshjays44 said in Tv or monitors?:

I don't know how anyone in their right mind this day and age can play video games on a TV when monitors are by far superior.

some of us like to relax on a couch and play.

instead of behind a monitor and desk as some of us do that for work every day. Makes us feels like working when playing on a monitor.

If you want games that are fun do casual online or head to head non DD. There it's not about ranking and exploiting the game. The opponent actually thinks like a baseball manager thus providing a good game of baseball.

AND YOU CAN SHARE THE STADIUMS TOO! HUGE WIN WIN WIN!

dbacks ....

So if stadiums can be put in the vault, would that mean created stadiums from next gen can be downloaded on last gen?

I know they said last gen won't have the create stadium feature but if we can at least download new stadiums on last gen that is as good as gold for me. I'm pretty confident all the stadiums I want like Astrodome, Ebbets, Candlestick to name a few will be created by the community.

Hope this is an option.

I know there is the other thread about this but thought I'd start a new one on how to win 5 games events online for offline players.

Finally got my 5 wins today as a offline player! Sure, my record is probably somewhere around 5-25 but here are some tips :

1.Get the game into extra's where you have the extra runner on base.

2.When you get to extras HERE is the MOST IMPORTANT thing to remember :

P-L-A-Y B-A-S-E-B-A-L-L

Yes my offline friends, it's simple as that! (pointing my finger to my head right now).

-When you have the runner on 2nd, move him over to third. That means BUNT because I can't hit a lick online.

-When you'll have a runner on 3rd with 1 out. Either take your chances and drive him in OR .... the easy solution.... SQUEEZE PLAY!

You see, I've noticed a lot of these online players just play HR derby online. They don't even bother to play baseball. In extra's, the advantage overwhelmingly goes on the side of the offline player.

Get that run in, and of course if you have last wraps you win the game. But if you're the away team, save a shut down closer like Rob Dibble - yes the Gold 84 Dibble - in to finish because he throws 102 FB and 100 offspeed. ALWAYS PICK ROB DIBBLE AS ONE OF YOUR RELIEVERS!

Now on defense in extra innings, like I said before, hardly any of these guys move the runner over to 3rd. They're still swinging away . Yes you will get beat sometimes because some are very good, but if you have Dibble you're chances to shut them down are on your side.

-Few other things I noticed : Some players try to always steal w/ the runner on 2nd. Easy way to get them out is Pitch out or just hit the button that takes your pitcher off the mound. I've picked off so many guys from just stepping off the mound. I think they think you'll press X/A to advance but it will sometimes throw to the catcher. Dont' do that, just wait a second or two and they'll break for third, throw to third, easy out.

Also seems a lot of players have no idea how to defend a squeeze play. or even understand the situation to put one on.

Finished the program w/ those 5 wins. Don't need to worry about Felix mission or Brooks 8 hits (will never use this guy again - he's terrible at this game for me hitting)

---hope this helps ----

@the_dragon1912 said in Parallel 5 Help:

The fastest way to do it would be to play the orioles on rookie or vet, and quit after Buxtons second AB with him batting leadoff. Understandable if you don't want to do that though

thanks!

I've never paralleled a player to 5. I play offline.

My closest guy is Monthly Aware Buxton. I see he is at 9733PXP at Parallel 4.

So when he this 10000 PXP then does that mean he's parallel 5'd??

How long offline will it take me to get this? Or is it faster to do it in an online event game?

I dont' think they'll allow cross play w/ PC

Im done with 9th inning. I see they added the Monte Irvin collection there for 45K XP. So if I finish the program I won't get any XP as I've already completed 9th inn.

Can I do this program when 10th inn starts to collect the 45K?

Start with directional hitting to get timing down. If you like directional and having fun with it then just go with that.

If they get the rights to Jeter it’ll be Jeter or he’ll be on the special editions.

But my guess is Shotani.

Change the display settings to 720p on Xbox One and it improves the framerate. Doesn't fix it, but improves it.

He was in 20 and previous games.

They had a lot of these on the list in previous games. Not sure why they could not deal with them again.
