He was my CF until Mantle. Card rules.

22 or 23 and 5. I've barely touched ranked this year. Last year I played over 300 ranked games. This year, not so much.

This card will be the GOAT.

Does Reynolds have speed? Never used his LS card but I think this'll be solid.

His card in the June PotM program had close to 70 speed. If they juice his speed and arm a bit, he'll be a really fun OF option. One of my fav cards all year, honestly. Glad to see I'll get another Reynolds to use this year.

I seemed to remember them in 2020 on Veterans day in some stadiums.

JULY PotM program Bryan Reynolds is the GOAT.

@jonbearf_mlbts said in Is there a way to reduce PCI sensitivity?:

You cannot reduce it via in-game settings. But you can buy Kontrol Freeks or Precision Rings from Kontrol Freeks to see if it helps. I haven't tried these yet.

I've been using both Kontrol Freeks and the precision rings (softest version) and they can help a lot.

@the_dragon1912 said in BR Rewards:

I think that people just aren't playing it. Previous years BR and the entry fee is a turn off to casual players. The people that didn't like BR before or have never played it aren't giving it an honest chance

This was me up until last week. Past year BR experiences turned me off of it entirely, but I kept hearing how easy the BR rewards path was and I'd maxed out on the PS event so I needed something to do in-game (I've rarely touched ranked this year).

lo and behold, the BR program is really, really well done. Great rewards with easy enough goals. I wish I'd tried for it earlier in the year, honestly.

Yeah, I'm on my first real BR run trying to work the program. The draft I guess is everything, though for the first time I'm actually winning games (currently 5-1). I need like 3 total bases for 10 points, then it's all player goals in the program because I will almost certainly never win 12 games in a run.

I'm going to give BR a shot for several runs and see if the program is workable for me.

I think my plateau is 6-0 lol but yes a lot of it is based on the draft, majority of my hours spent on the run were trying to get those mission players. I have to say I am pretty upset with myself for not diving into BR earlier, I have found my new outlet when I get the itch to play online again.

I wish they had the player missions visible during the draft. The realistic goal for most is to get to 100 over multiple entries. Gotta write those stupid names down when I lose my second game...lol

I had to take a picture of the program so I could track who was a program card.

@arvcpa_psn said in Cards you want to do well with, but cant:

I want SOOO badly to be good with Frank Thomas. Even offline, my stats are pathetic with him.

My annual most disappointing card, no question. I can't win with a Frank Thomas card.

The Topps Now Altuve is fun and hits nukes. PotM program Bryan Reynolds is the GOAT.

@capt_awesome34 said in anyone having a hard time to hit with new PCI update?:

im just starting to get adjusted , the first few days it was terrible i couldn't hit anything.

Same. For me it seemed like a massive change it sensitivity, but now I'm getting used to it and generally hitting better.

@the_dragon1912 said in No doubt animation:

Rickey, Didi, and Mathews are my top 3. I like Vlad Sr. to but that mostly for the "Vlad puts some torque into this one" that goes with it

Oh, Vlad Sr's is GOOD.

Ricky Henderson and Didi Gregorious are probably my two fav right now.

Just happened to me. Weird.

I literally have two reactions to dashboarding. First reaction is "Lol, nice. Free win." This happens when I get a HR dashboarded with a card I hit well with. the second reaction is "JFC. I'm hitting 180 with this guy right now. Why dashboard him... at least it's a win."

@thegoaler_psn said in Yelich, Bellinger or Aaron (etc.):

I still haven't opened my boss pack, because I never hit well with Aaron's cards.
How come no one talks about the 99 Gwynn? Where does he stack up?

He's not really talked about because the hitting preference is higher power for the way the game is built and plays. Why play Tony Gwynn when you could use Mookie or Vlad Sr or Larry Walker who have way better power numbers and very usable contact stats. Heck, even Lou Brock has better power numbers.

(I personally wish this game was built to allow slap, hit for average hitters were more viable.)

Not gonna lie, it's pretty sweaty right now. Yes, it'll get easier as the better players get their rewards and bounce, but last night/yesterday afternoon were tougher than I expected.

I'm a Mariners fan. I'm almost as old as the franchise. I have no sympathy.

I can't wear anything but classic Ms unis. It's just in my nature.
