Any advice or strategies to beat it
There are some videos on YouTube that can help you greatly.
One tip I can give is don't let Colorado go wild and take all that territory on the top left!
I just pulled the S1 99 Awards Adley with pop time.
Why couldn't I pull this much earlier??!!
@Loyal-Wiglaf_XBL said in Where's everyone at?:
This is the earliest I've ever catapulted from the game. It was horrible. I'm a Franchise guy anyway, and they did NOTHING for franchise.
They're up against it this year for a lot of people...
Me as well. I'm doing the latest Captain Blitz, but the desire is gone.
LuisAngel Acuna Topps Now CF
Luis Arraez Milestone 1B
Randy Johnson OOP DH
Matt Carpenter Awards 2B
Ronald Acuna Jr. Awards from Extreme RF
Johan Santana OOP LF
Nolan Arenado Milestone 3B
Bob Gibson OOP SS
Travis d'Arnaud S1 Topps Now C
Didn't put a bench yet, but these cover a lot of mission requirements.
Put Captain Greg Maddux for CPT PXP/Braves IP
@bostondirtdog21_PSN said in 1/7/25 Captain drop - if anyone cares...:
Yikes. That is ugly. I was hoping for Dominican and I personally couldn’t stand OOP.
OOP was cute for about a week, but became too unrealistic with Mo Rivera and Randy smacking bombs!
I only knew Wilmer Flores off the top of my head, but there's more than you think, past & present...
Jose Altuve
Ronald Acuna Jr. I was shocked I didn't know! I'm sure Luis Angel as well!
Luis Arraez
Orlando Arcia
Francisco Alvarez
Salvy
Oswaldo Cabrera
Willson Contreras
Just a few. I'm sure there are more current ones!
Miggy is retired. I don't think Luis Aparicio is in the game. Omar Vizquel isn't either.
Nerfing is in effect.
Pretty self-explanatory. May you all have peace, love, and safety in the year to come.
May next year's game be the best ever. Maybe. We'll see with no more sets and seasons.
I did love '24, and appreciate what SDS is giving us. You can't please everyone, but I just wanted to say I appreciate their effort to no end.
I had a 1.00 ERA offline.
That's not good! Gotta throw more 'Ghost Forks,' I guess.....
I didn't see all of my misses on ACHES packs. I wonder why? 
@jake98833_PSN said in Card Series Wishlist:
The replacements featuring MLB players who replaced others during the MLB player strike:
- Damian Miller
- Brendan Donnelly
- Cory Lidle
- Kevin Millar
Me and a friend used to have to create Mets Rick Reed in Triple Play Baseball every season! We always created him to what would be a 99 in today's games!
Cory Lidle's passing really hit me hard. I think we had to create him as well. I remember finding out listening to 'Mike & the Maddog.' I couldn't believe it.
I don't think the union would want a card series like this, though.
@Daniel_el_fuerte_PSN said in No doubt animation packages:
Let the players with no doubt animations have no doubt animation packages so when they hit a no doubter you never know what kind of animation you will get. add more variety or make it customizable. i’m trynna hit the griddy when i hit a 500 foot bomb!!!!!??!?!
'Griddy?' You've watched too many Joe Burrow touchdowns, I see.....
I'd like to see someone do it all the way around the bases 🤪
I believe so.
I bought a 50 pack bundle to see if packs are still juiced.
I got 2 Live series diamonds, a 99 Hyoer Senga, and 2 diamond jerseys I needed.
Got a Live Yimi Garcia out of one of the CHASES.
This is an absolute shock from out of left field. Wow.
I'll never forget being amazed at him getting 100+ stolen bases.
Fun Fact - There was a trophy in MLB '11 The Show, where you had to get 130 stolen bases in any mode, in one season.
I think I got it by creating a 99 overall CAP, and simulating a season!!
Memories!
I'll never forget how big he was on the Yankees, and later in his career with my Mets. What a talent.
@Akhenaten1313_PSN said in family Captain: Brothers & fathers, but not sons?:
The sons count. Junior gets up to 99 speed.
Does that 95 get to that speed? For me, that was better than the HOF card, but he only had about 59 speed. Way better swing it seemed. Played an exhibition game and he just went off!
I have a really good memory, but I don't remember last years.'
It is late December, so it should be expected.....
For a second,I thought this was about people being dinks, and being called them 🤪
@TeakAUS_PSN said in Mandatory showdown for Milestone program:
Its not about Showdown being hard for me. I don't think it is. I just absolutely hate the mode. I want to use my own cards. I want to earn pxp for my cards. I don't want to have to score 6 runs twice in a gimmicky mode that is NOT baseball.
On top of that, the mode only offers actual rewards once or twice a year. I can't say a single positive thing about it, although I get some people actually enjoy it.
There's gimmicky modes in all sports games, if you noticed.
I frown at them a bit, especially this year's 'perfect one-timer' in NHL, that I can't stand, but there will always be gimmicks in UT modes whether we like it or not. It is still baseball. You have to hit to score runs.
I too was able to beat it, first try with double figure outs remaining. Try to take the diamond 'vision perk,' if you can. Choose speed guys.
