I have a team build I'll play that has LS Trout as a bench bat.

But I agree, not a lot of use for LS players at this point except collection or selling.

LS Trout with IE v RHP when down late might be the best bench PH there is

Yelich

It happens.

The only game I played online today, the kid flunked me to death for a 1-0 lead through 4 innings. He hit a fluke hr off Kulber on a cutter inside out of the zone. Had a fluke hit with Strasburg. I was squaring up on balls and lining out hard.

In the 5th inning I hit a 2 put 3 run HR with Victorino, then he pegged Correa, and then I hit a 2 run HR with Belli. He proceeded to peg all of my batters until he got booted.

It didn't register mine either, which I had won 3-2, then booted me since I don't have a round 2 game scheduled...

I just used him for the first time. He was fine but nothing great (1 hit, 2 strikeouts, 1 ground out)...BUT - after the game I saw it was on All-Star and that’s not where he’ll show his worth. Will write a HOF difficulty review shortly.

Sure I understand not spending the stubs. But if I guy rolls the 35k and gets elite, that’s where I’m going.
I don’t do collections I usually wait for people’s seconds on the top cards (aka price drops) lol

Peace and love

I’d rather have the player with great D and bats 4 times a game then a pitcher I’ll use for 1.1 innings every other game bc of stamina. Adell can impact the game more frequently

it’s smarter to go for collections. i have trout, mantle, sheffield, reggie and no chance am i spending 150k+ on adell

Ernie!!!!!

I’m watching this movie Blank Check on Disney+ and this little 8-year-old dewsh is pulling down this 9er (9.5 in a couple scenes) and this kid looks like a plate of spaghetti so it’s like what? And then this fat dude is creepily hanging out with this little kid 24/7 and we’re just supposed to be ok with it because he’s Canadian? Then this guy grabs this redhead kid and dangles him off this building and bro not gonna lie I hoped he was going to drop the ginger but he didn’t. 90s movies were wild man

I would also guess that DH will be a thing next year. If the MLB season starts this year, I think that it will change this year.

If you don't spend on packs, your odds are relaxed. If you spend for the clout, you'll end up with Trout.

Not sure if youre just joking, but I actually agree with this too, seems like all the diamonds I pulled are right after I added $20 here and there into the game, and even then the diamond value usually matches your cash injection, or close to it. When I pulled Ozzie it was right after I put in $30, and Spencer Howard $20. Just seems to be a pattern

I would think it’s more probably of a system that if you have shown a history of putting money into the game there’s a certain threshold that they would slam your odds if you open packs to try to dwindle you down to no stubs in hopes that history repeats itself and you will buy more stubs.

At least that’s how I would run it if I were going to scam you.

This is true. I do not boast about my pulls or how much I spend in game but , I have spent enough to say I'm about 90% sure, the odds are in favor of those who spend. Once I finished live series collections, pack luck was insane. So insane I'm at 100% in all team affinities.

@Chandaman625 said in Ken Griffey Jr.:

His stats aren’t gonna put him at a disadvantage against any card. His gold card has low stats and it’s my best player by far, he hits no doubters easily so I’m very excited with this card especially with the 100+ power v righties and his defense being so spectacular is going to be great to cut guys from getting extra bases or scoring on sac flies. They’re trying to be more realistic this year with stats by giving guys their cards based off of what they did during the time of that specific type of card rather than just giving everyone an SS card and making them stacked. This has been more fun to collect and play with so far in my opinion.

His gold card was in my lineup for quite a while. I’m just nostalgic about that year because I was there and it really was something to see. As long as he gets a better end game card, I’m ok with it I guess. If anybody is curious, those ‘95 Yankees mariners games have been re-broadcast recently and are up on YouTube. I highly recommend.

I was playing in old Yankee Stadium score was me 3 opponent 1 bottom of the 3rd inning. I had 1 out man on 2nd and 3rd. My batter hits a fly ball to right field easily warning track so im getting ready to have my player at 3rd tag up to score. The ball goes into the glove of my opponents then pops back out and over the wall for a 3 run home run. I have never seen this happen in a video game before and i desperately wanted to capture the video but my opponent rightfully so rage quit/lost connection. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Should still have been able to save the clip. Your PS4 records the last X minutes of gameplay (X is set in your settings) so all you have to do is use the share button to save it when dodgy or cool stuff happens.

Like this homer: https://youtu.be/uOffD95zd-g

Not quite as rage-inducing as what happened to your opponent but pretty funny

[censored] i didnt know that. I never use the share button since nothing cool or glitchy ever happens to me until now.

Apparently people around here don't know this 3 out of 4 games I play are in MLB stadiums. There is no doubt that the game is laggy AF and if it is stadium related then more people need to get the message.

@The_Icon148 said in Im done:

Havent played in a week decided to come and play since i am still a baseball fan. Finished the 3rd inning showdown so then i decided to play an event game. First pitch my opponent grounds to third i throw to first and my first basemen drops the ball. Um ok I got out of the inning. 2nd inning my opponent gets a single to left my left fielder standing right in front of the ball decides to do absolutely nothing but let the ball go by him allowing his man to get to second. Later in the inning that said player on second is now at third with 1 out. He takes him out and puts in mickey mantle obviously going for the squeeze bunt play. I purposefully throw a ball high and in to his right handed batter either it hits his batter or its a [censored] ball but nope successful bunt towards the first basemen. This game is the worst trash ive ever purchased.

I feel ya man. If you ever return if you sense a squeeze or something fishy always call for a pitch out then the cpu cant suck the ball into the bat for a bunt....its happened on steals too

I dont understand the hate for the hat and Jersey exchanges. They were the easiest stub making scheme ever. I wish they would bring them back.

Ohtani I also have and have had good success with, plus you get the bat!

By far the best card I have used this year, have 99 Biggio, Reggie, Sandberg and he's still miles better than all of them. I'd say go for it

I always used classic pitching from 16-19, and switched to analog pitching for 20. It took me about 15 to 30 games to get the hang of it.
Spend a lot of time in practice mode. Eventually you will get it.
