I haven’t posted in the forum like I have in years past. But I felt compelled to share some constructive criticism.

I have actually somewhat enjoyed gameplay this year. It has felt more input driven than any other year I’ve played… in my opinion.

Content is good and awful at the same time. 99 Walker? 99 Rollins? 99 Chipper, and a 99 Griffey? The hyper cards played well.

On the other hand… what incentive do I have to unlock these season 2 cats? And why do I want to go back and unlock a bunch low-rated diamonds that aren’t really new or fresh?

And then I’ll be in the same boat where I put in all that work for no play.

For example, and I’m sure I’m not the only one, George Brett got unlocked for me and I maybe played 1 online game with him.
Rollins and Walker had 0 Ranked Seasons appearances. The rest of the season 1 collection and XP bosses were absolutely not in the lineup.

They hide them behind all this XP and collections… can we do something with XP caps? I agree with having them to an extent, but can we tweak it a little? Instead of daily, could it not be weekly?

Wild card slots, you kidding me? You throw out all these dudes in season 1, and I may be able to work a couple in by the time season 2 is done, but I look at it being the same exact situation as season 1.

This is why I’m turned off by the game. My wife worked a 12 hour shift yesterday, and I sat at home and didn’t touch it.
I’ll play a game, and just feel tired of it before it’s completed. I just don’t feel incentivized to play when the cards I work for get devalued.

Again, gameplay, I haven’t had too bad of an experience. But my main beef is this… why do I want to grind all this much for boss cards when I MIGHT play with them once or twice?

I made a lineup, collected all the cornerstone bosses. That’s about it. Didn’t even play a game.

Bring on College Football 24!

Addiction is a strange thing.

Be careful what you ask for... They may interpret as, "Program stars are too easy to come by... maybe we should make them harder to attain."

If you get bored, jump on some other way to grind out XP. Or read a book, watch a movie.

@FranklinSabers16 said in 99 Maddux is the best pitcher in the game:

I pray him and Rollins fill the role I need them too, both are endgame if they are as good as they look

I pray posts like this disappear so their prices will drop lol

@mjfc_363 said in Kluber:

I haven’t bunted first a hit since 2015. I will never bunt for a hit regardless of any game situation. But yeah I hear you loud and clear.....my dude.

Jake Taylor hasn’t bunted since 1989.

That’s great, man! My 10 silvers are happy you’re still married.

@AsianJim95 said in Am I wrong for this?:

Getting shut out in the 8th, Tatis hits a solo jack. Down 2-1. He brings crochet in, Jorge walks, and then Gary walks. So two on with no outs and honus comes up to bat, get in a two strike count. And I laid my first bunt down of the year (felt dirty about it) but couldn't sacrifice a double play. Got on, brought in nick for Larry, then hit a grand slam causing him to dashboard.
I hate bunt cheesers, but am I wrong for putting a bunt down in a critical situation?

Not wrong at all. And don’t let anyone tell you any differently.

For clarification, let's define terms. There are two in particular: Legends and Flashbacks

Flashbacks are only available to cards that are in the Live Series collections... Like Free Agents, or anyone on a current MLB Roster.

Legends are those cards of players who are retired.

Trust me, there are tons of legends people are going to suggest that I would love to see. But I just wanted to help the OP out, because that's usually the direction these types of threads head towards.

The Ruth program is basically like conquest. The amount of games seem insurmountable at first, but after it occurred to me that it’s basically like conquest, doesn’t seem too awful.

“This is the guy that sidelined Jimmy....” https://youtu.be/Apa0nG1OfUc

They patched it, but when they referred to switch hitters. I think it went something like this.... “he’s definitely no Chipper Jones”.... while Chipper was batting.

When I got the Whitey Ford notification at work the other day, I told a coworker, “It’s kind of scary being a hall of famer right about now.”

Color commentary corrections.... does that mean I no longer hear them say, “He’s certainly no Chipper Jones” when Chipper’s actually up to bat? Lol

Diamond Dynasty is one of my favorite things about baseball season (when it occurs in a more typical fashion). I tell my wife that at least my hobby is cheap, and not really destructive or anything. I believe it would be safe to say I’m addicted.

But I also have a few more interests. I used to have a modded out 99 Jeep TJ... got rid of that money pit last month. So that hobby doesn’t really exist anymore.

If I had another hobby that takes up a ton of time and resources, it would be Universal Studios Orlando. My wife and I have annual passes, and we frequent 7-8 hour drives there when we get a chance.

I thought about posting this when My wife texted me this earlier this evening.The place has been at about 10-20% capacity, so this is about the epitome of how we look at our schedule.

What are some of your hobbies that allows you to escape from The Show every once and a while?

@olivegarden2 said in 5k from Mantle lol:

Going to bed right now can’t wait to get him Tomorrow!!

Man, I would have been trying to see if I was close to any stubs on Team Affinity progress before I went off to bed.

@samguenther1987 said in Ruth:

Well I know what I'm doing this weekend and for the foreseeable future lol, all-star should be fine, it's hall of fame that seems a bit daunting.

When it comes to moments, I like to start with the most challenging ones and trickle my way down. If you get past the HOF ones, it may make the AS ones seem easier.

I feel I should share this.

While we’re considering the concerns on all sides, have we considered how police officers feel? I’m going to share two videos...

The first one’s going to show how quickly resisting arrest can escalate, and I’m sure it has been used in different training scenarios for police officers. https://youtu.be/_BZkxLQ6zlk

The second one shows the other camera angle of the Jacob Blake shooting where, after resisting arrest, begins walking back to reach or enter in his vehicle. https://youtu.be/9u9jndrppGM

What is he going to the car for? Is there a weapon? Is he complying with police to have his day in court? Is there about to be a hostage situation if they do nothing? Are the kids in the car in danger knowing a potential felon just successfully resisted arrest?

He wasn’t just walking back to his car and, oh! Out of nowhere a mean ole cop popped a few caps in him. There’s context to the situation.
