What I've learned from Showdown, almost never tag up unless you have 80 speed. Always seems that Ichiro is playing all outfield spots.

Hearing someone say Felix was their favorite player growing up has never made me feel older. Thanks a lot lol

Captain Jeter would be a really present surprise.

No thanks to common defense, I'll stick with Larkin

@abbyspapa said in How is Flaherty a Diamond?:

Don't worry, the SDS Cards homers will release a 99 rated Future WS MVP Flaherty card any day now.

You mean the 99 rookie Randal Grichuk?

Great game. Those who complain need to be reminded that if you have a successful plate appearance 30% of the time, you're doing fantastic. The beauty of baseball is tough luck.

@SaveFarris said in Honus collection:

Because The Show continued to have collection categories for the card types (including new categories this year for Prospects, Future Stars, Face of the Franchise), we're all assuming there's another Honus-like collection coming eventually.

As the above linked article notes, the collection dropped in late July last year. Given the timing (which would have coincided with this year's originally scheduled Cooperstown weekend) and given the existence of this item (https://theshownation.com/mlb20/items/9c16b0e83f09596202f402261f25c8a9), I know who I'd guess is this year's mega-collection.

Ew, who would want a bronze defense SS?

If Jackie is leading off the inning and you're not guarding the bunt, what's wrong with taking that free base?

A strong world series win on all star should be worth at least 100 points

@eatyum said in Prestige Level:

Collections, a ton of showdown and way to much free time is why I'm at Prestige

I guess I could at least do the cheaper collections to get some boost. I have about 100k stubs with no huge use for them other than TA exchanges. I just can’t make myself sit through showdown Especially the amount to make a dent into the XP reward path.

Get to 30/40 for everyone, put in two buy orders for everyone. Collect one and put a sell order for the other and you should turn a profit and get a ton of xp.

@backerrrr44 said in Your go-to closer?:

I use fotf ohtani

I keep him as a long reliever when I need to pull the starter early or if I run out of pinch hitters.

As for the closer, I go Chapman or Eckersley, but just got Rollie today who feels like another Eck

Chapman is the only reliever I have consistent troubles against, I’ve never been able to hit him

Because you can't see his pitches. After facing that so many times, I bought him so I could be on the other end of it.

Not sure what's going on. I was able to do it before with the left stick, did they mess it up with an update or is there a setting I can fix?

No I’m on PS5

Upper right in the main screen. Forgot what the circle says.

@ajeggy43_psn said in AGAIN!!:

I’m telling you...SDS is extremely incompetent. Why on earth would you do server maintenance at 7am est especially on a Saturday morning. They are in way over their heads.

Exactly. Same time on the weekdays, it sucks, still doesn't make sense, but what do I know. But Saturday morning is stupid.

They need to back it up a couple of hours for those who can only play in the morning. This has been ridiculous.

Finally beat him today too, that was the most painful one yet. Was down 11-15 and only got it to 12 until 3 outs left and got a walk off grand slam

@SurfinSantaCruz said in Point of these Topps Now cards:

Noticed a lot of the topps now cards are Overpowered.

What is the point of these cards if they make all the other cards from the past less valuable.

The Bo Bichette topps nowcard is going to be better than any legend card.

is there suppose to be any strategy w/ these topps now cards?

These cards are way more make believe than the Future Stars everyone whined about. In hindsight, I loved the FS series even more now that when I hear x team is calling up their top prospect, it's someone I'm familiar with.

Small sample size, but Babe is far better than Stan in LF for me. Stan was a trainwreck in Left for me, now he's my first lefty off the bench.

Anyone have luck using him online? I've only used him in the Ruth moments, his stuff seems ok, but I'd be terrified with runners on base with a speed/steal over 60.

Is it random SP or your ace?

@DocTupelo said in Think of it this way...:

I'm glad all the games are at home - each game is 16% faster than Conquest.

And luckily it's not on veteran where all the BS happens. So strange how I easily win HOF and even legend, but struggle at veteran on occasion.
