I will have to pick up the slack and get them done then. I didn't even think about this. Thanks.

I completed these a couple weeks ago after I finished the affinity set, and really enjoyed listening to Bob Kendrick and learning about those I really knew very little of. It was a learning lesson for my 10 and 7 year old son. My wife kept asking, why are you calling it the NL? Because, that is what it is called, and she was able to learn also. I wish it was incorporated under the programs in DD, and hope they build off of it.

The showdown with Percival was not fun. I do not remember him having a 22 mph difference from fastball to change up, but he made my hitters look foolish. I was sitting on fastball at 101 only to get a 79 change up at 59 1/2 feet. Fortunately, like on the 3rd or 4th attempt, Jose Ramirez caught a high FB for my only run needed.

Not sure if it has ever been a Program in the game,(before this year I was playing 2014 on PS3 since then) but it would be neat to see a program focused on Jeter, Bernie, Posada, Petite, and Mariano. All 4 players would be a 99, and only 1 would be given away at random to each who finished the program. SDS could make it difficult to obtain all 4. As a red sox fan, even I can appreciate the core Yankees.

How’s bragging camp going?

This type of thing NEVER happens to me. So either I tell my wife and get a cold blank stare back... or I come here.

Something the wife definitely doesn't want to hear. I am min the same camp.

I just bought Foxx for 220k, and why not right? What else am I going to do with the 1mil stubs. I didn't even play with Foxx Yet, all I see is that 125 in every offensive category, and eligible at C. At some point gotta spend the stubs. Maybe I will buy Griffey before I leave work at midnight.

His fastball and cutter play off each other, keep the slider down and outside corner, and a 59 1/2 ft curveball in the dirt. He's a HR machine at the plate.

I find that playing with a stress less mind is key. Also, I try to get at least 2 +90 speed guys, hard to find on the Central Showdown. Bunts, hitting the other way, and staying out of the DP is huge. I use my speedster at 1,2 and like to get some in the bench to pinch run.

I do have fun at times, but it can be a frustrating experience at the same time. I started playing online back in Apr( after a several year layoff). The most fun I have is when I am playing ranked 9 inning against an equal opponent. It's nice when strikes are being thrown and hits are happening to score runs. However, every lineup is an All-Star caliber, and a ton of home runs get hit. I do not have any issues with the lineups, but with the fact that good pitching cannot neutralize good offense. Some of the issues I see:

1. Pitching is inconsistent. Whatever pitch is being thrown may go wherever. It doesn't matter if it is a good release on a 1 or 2 pitch. I get the 3,4,5 pitches may not be placed all the time, but too many times my pitches are just going wherever they want. It's too easy to plunk a guy, with a ton of errant pitches breaking 2 or 3 feet out of the strike zone. If you miss on a slider, sinker, or etc...it is getting killed. There is always the errant slider that just flys away for some reason.
2. In the 3 inning games, guys get gassed way to fast. With foul ball at bats sometimes going 8 or 9 pitches, relief doesn't stand a chance.
3. The PCI indicator is the true weapon that proficient players have to destroy the ball. If you can't use it, you really are not going to win a lot in the long term. A lot of bad balls are getting crushed. I have benefited at times, but it makes for a lousy experience in 3 inning games.
4. Pickoffs on a 1 step lead happen way too much.

I love the game and the ranked series. All video games are addictive, and they are built that way to keep us wanting more. Last year I made it to end of July, and picked it back up in Feb 24. This year has been good so far. I like to collect the cards, flip a bit and always complete the LS Series. This year did hit a HR by making us use LS players more, and having captains like Castillo to boost the players.

One heck of a game, I walked away for a minute and check on my kid in the bathtub, only to miss the HR. My wife just happen to be watching and not paying attention, only to say " how is it in the 15th inning with no runs", I just shook my head and say, it figures...

PoTM Joc Pederson against rightys is pretty good

Is this the best Cleveland could put out there for an elimination game? He is all over the place in the 1st inning, a visit from the PC, and then a 3-Run Rocket to Stanton. May be over before it ever really began, hope they can comeback against Nasty Nestor.

Looks like Ryan is the pick. I'll be broke but I should have a solid starter. Thanks, everyone!

If you’re broke I wouldn’t buy him. Do you already have Burnes, Alcantra, Ashby, and Sale? Much cheaper quality options. Invest the difference in the roster update.

This. I'll NEVER pay over 100K for a card unless it's Trout.

I wish icould say the same, I am Degrom, Sherzer, Tatis, Hader, away from RJ and Clemente. I could by sherzer now but wanna wait a little more to gain stubs

No money spent? You are playing a game, on a game system, probably with internet, on a TV or a monitor. Probably around 1k-2k already spent just to play the game.

Most of my success has come from Ballin packs. The latest conquest was like Christmas Day, pulled a 96 Howard, Judge, Betts, 99 Soto and several others. Not to mention getying Snider at the end. I think the 50, 75 pack bundles are good if you want you want to buildup inventory.

Are you playing with a S1 line-up? If so, create a S2 lineup and delete the S1 lineup

Just to add, I love playing CPU at the Polo Grounds, have yet to hit it out in CF but Joc has come close hitting the Warning track for a GRD. Realmuto took it for a ride in Left Center last night for a GRD too

Even Lt Frank Drebin had a better rendition(or Enrico Pallazo)

Joc Pederson, POTM and Jasson Dominguez, also Ketel Marte. Every time I go into a slump, these 3 players remind me to put them in quick to get back on track.

Offer 2 and Offer 3 are the same pack, Offer 2 is offered at 10k discount compared to 3, and is limited to buying of 3 packs. If you get the Witt or Hernandez, you get the expensive cards.

This seems to be the one card that will not depreciate
