TN Alfaro. He loves taking low and away sliders out to right for some reason.

Can't wait for Finest, but that dude up there^ made a good point. The Topps now cards are crazy juiced already. Finest don't seem like they can be THAT much better.

Think I'm just looking forward to finest out of habit lol.

You might be over thinking it dude. People are just trying to buy cards as cheap as possible. I doubt they are trying to take advantage of inexperienced players.

Posey has to be the most useless one there is, simply because of the 99.

I actually had Trout come up after a game the other day.

The last two were him and a bronze stadium. Anybody wanna guess who I didn't get?

I robbed a few in 18, including a couple of stunners with Griffey's one foot wall climb animation.

Haven't gotten one since though. :sadface:

I'm no money spent, and haven't felt like playing the market a whole lot this year, so I'm just taking what the game gives me with dailies/post game rewards/free packs, and then when I get close to a 10 or 20 or level level on a team ill buy the last couple to get there. Only 2 teams done so far, but 30+ on several others so far.

I'd wait at least to see the 2nd inning bosses.
Might be some cool cards in there. Just my 2 cents.

I agree man. That one exchange sux. Ive had it twice and its a waste of either stubs or stars. Doubt it will get fixed though. They probably do, and should, have their focus on other game issues.

So SDS is the Astros basically?

I feel you dude. It took me 15+ attempts to beat it.

Got lucky on the last one, got the Rockies and Marquez as the final boss. Smoked him. Beat him with 7 outs in the bank still.

There is hope.

The only thing that bugs me is I wish the stats counted. Like BR counts, why can't showdown?

I get that some of them are 1 inning or a couple outs or whatever, but we know they can count those stats from the Great July Quit-fest of 2018.

People like the OP have no patience. When I get somebody that keeps undercutting me by 1 ill drop the price a couple thousand, then when they undercut me by 1 ill leave it there so THEIR card sells super cheap, then relist mine at the normal price again. Lol. "#### the constant undercutters" should be my motto.

That only works on someone that doesn't know what they are doing. I already have my minimum acceptable profit range, so I'm willing to follow you down. You go below that, and I'll place my bid one above you. You adjust, and I'll adjust with you. The problem ( and it's not really a problem, as if I'm selling a dupe I too want as much as I can get. I'm still going to work the card, but no worries of having to hit a target) is people who aren't flipping, but just trying to get rid of their cards, and trying to get as much as they can. I don't have a problem with that, but if I'm working that card I will be doing everything I can to drive you down, and get your card off the market.

Sometimes it works, sometimes I doesn't. Name of the (market) game, I guess.

Doubt it. Never worked that way before.

Yeah I'd be into the chem thing.

Like Cardinals cards from the mid 2000' s could have boosts to their clutch rating. Rockies and my Rangers from the 90' s could have small power boosts or something.

Would be cool to see them do that.

Hopefully one of these years developers of these sports games/ultimate team modes will get over this fad. Its a fad. "Lets see how many different RNG rolls/algorithms we can stuff into each individual in-game event."

Just because the hardware can do it doesn't mean it should be programmed to do it. Its getting real old at this point.

@NOTandris said in Showdown is a carnival game:

Ransom put up a little video on YouTube explaining how to be a little more successful at Showdown. Long story short, take a two strike approach.

Good video. Ransom always has good tip videos. Thanks for posting it though.

Gonna give this two strike thing a shot tonight. I've lost like at least 15 different runs through them so far, maybe a few more than that. Always been too aggressive. So yeah, thanks.

Nah dude don't worry about it. Im probably up to 10 different times trying to beat the first inning. Seems there are more than a few people struggling with it.

Voit seems to have a metal bat. Everything I hit with him is roped.
