Conquest maps should always drop 1st and 15th of the month. Thank you SDS for the show paydays and please dont take offense to the above complaint the vast majority of us love our MLB The Show checks
R2 before pitches is the equivalent of stepping out of the batters box briefly between pitches to take a deep breath and reset yourself for the next pitch. Pressing r2 allows you to take a quick look at what has already been thrown during the AB or after the first time through the order how you were pitched using that particular batter. I agree if someone is using it inappropriately that is garbage but you should be a able to tell I k how personally I'm tapping the X button immediately after every pitch so it will hurry and end the replay and I can get a quick glance at where we are at in the pitch sequence or take just a few seconds to try figure out what the pitcher is trying to set up hopefully leading me to a mammoth Homer or teach me something about you I can use moving forward. You may not have played much real baseball and that's ok, you may have and great knowledge to the point where you process extremely quick, or your just a gifted gamer who can effortlessly move the pci to the fast moving white dot so good you dont need to think about what your opponent is trying to do but there is nothing wrong with a quick glance and breath to clear your head between pitches
I was really excited about Olerud he was an absolute hitting machine when he played. At this point in the year there is obviously a consensus best player at each position but I'm sure a lot of people are like me and about to start running lineups full of players they just enjoy playing with.
Derek Detrich is smiling
Year round, next few months are the best
@PhillyRunt44 said in Cards you surprisingly rake with:
Pablo Sandoval (he replaced 94 Chipper ar 3B and wont ever leave my team), Awards Chuck Nasty Blackmon, sig Lofton.
Pandas swing is almost as smooth as his walk up
@Thierry007007 said in I have 650000 stubs:
What should I do with the money ? Trying to complete collections or buy the best cards for the price ?
Packs on Packs on Packs on Packs
He is to 20 what Gwynn was to 19 on the xp path, a very awesome player who will be in many lineups till player fatigue or 21 drops
Posey just prefers pinch hitting against lefties or the occasional start at first when a nasty south paw is on the mound. Joboo no hit Curveballs and Posey No Hit Righties
But RAKES like a yard man in October vs. Lefties
Most Amazing card EVER!!!
Thames hits the ball like Mike Tyson Punched people it's worth the wait.

I can answer for him, just kidding I dont know for sure how he would answer, hell he may be Brad Hand doesn't matter though because he is absolutely correct. Brad Hands Finest card was flat out amazing last year. I really like Harpers 19 Finest and loved DJ LeMahieus cars from last year his Awards card this year wasn't near as good as his Finest card last year

I just end up quitting a dozen times in a row to get down to where the wins can be accrued. It makes no sense to punish decent players with a decent rating. I want to be ranked 385 to begin each season, so I don't have to quit so many times in a row just to get the same shot at 30 as the next guy. I think you have a good point and I actually believe all players regardless of prior accomplishments should start a new season together. I know sometimes especially early in the season there would be some tough matchups but for the better player it's fun and a brief escape from really tough games ahead If your on the flipside and the lesser player given your wanting to get better then you know there are lessons to be learned in defeat.

It is a video game so I think all players should be attainable for paying customers. I think Sds should remove the market price cap on the top 50 performing cards not give cards for rewards in ranked or BR but lots and lots of stubs. Elite players would then have no problem getting the card leaving only someone willing to shell out cash, which benefits ads, flip cards, or grind like hell the equivalent of working hard in order to have nice things would be the only players able to use them which is fair and like in the real world givea everyone a chance Uh, you don't learn anything when you dashboard before the first HR lands when they see you have a WS banner. Easiest way to get to 30 wins is tank down, put on your WS banners and win a few and lose a few. You can probably be one of the first 25 players to get the season reward.

Your absolutely right there is no way you are going to get better dash boarding every game you know your up against a strong opponent. I know there are some that say why worry about getting dash boarded just take the W but I disagree I think if you dashboard your way out of a game you're a hateful loser who either has anger issues or you just dont have very strong character and lack some of the fundamental core values needed to get along with others. I say this because you are knowingly chosing an action that hurts your opponents progress in the game by denying rightfully earned stats. I coach my sons travel ball team and unfortunately I have had to talk to a couple of the boys after they decided to Express there anger and frustration with striking out by launching a bat, helmet or both across our dugout. Basically told them throwing a fit doesn't help fix what has you pissed off if you dont like the results your getting start understanding why they are happening and use the information to fix the problem. Many times the fix is pretty simple and there back where they want to be other times especially when your new there is just no way to rush experience so play take your lumps but dont forget there are lessons to be learned in defeat. Many times the lessons learned in defeat are what propels you to success. So an I feel it applies here if you truly want to get better play if its completely ridiculous matchup and you aren't mercy ruled just pause the game and quit out there is no shame in that. If you are frustrated when someone hits a homer that's fine to just simply be frustrated let the ball land then quit cool off and find another game. Eventually you will start to get better. But if you quit by dashboarding everytime you fall behind your an A$$#ole who has no intrest in getting better just looking for an easier matchup so you can win have a false sense of success get your reward you probably think your entitled to and continue on with no regard for the world around you but probably e the first person to complain when you feel like someone wrongs you. Anyway I've read a lot of your post seems like you really enjoy baseball and I hope they come up with a solution for the problem you guys in rural areas are having with bad connections. Didn't mean to ramble on there I just get frustrated when people want the pay check but have no interest in the work week. My comment about playing and getting better was aimed at people who do things right but may not have the results yet encouraging them to stay the course eventually they will come
I have been reading and occasionally posting on this forum since 19. I remember last year Wilson Ramos caused some problems briefly for people trying to get Mickey. Sorry to those of you on the wait list but this has been hilarious. I remember when the Diaz drinking game started and didn't pay it much attention but it's gone on to long for me not to participate. Gotta run grab some tooth fairy cash for the kid and while I'm out I'm getting a 12 pack that way I can have a cold one and watch this unfold. I dont remember who it was that started the longest running drinking game of all time but it may be time the SDS guys get you and the rest of us participating in your game a bat skin, maybe a "I DRANKFOR DIAZ MLBTS 21". Last thing, again not to make people waiting feel bad or get upset but SDS should not juice the packs and flood the market with his card many of us spent a fortune in stubs getting the live series done some spent an actual fortune. I know many people mindlessly had to flip cards, I read about and knew of people who repeatedly did the US map in order to sell prospect cards. Me personally I dont mind supporting the cause and decided this year to just spend a little cash and buy Trout day 1. I did sell him because I missed the chase and it just didn't feel right. I eventually pulled him in June and welcomed him back to the team. I'm just saying a lot if us in many different ways worked and waited till eventually getting the LS collection done and it has been well worth it. So I believe Diaz was sent here as a blessing to everyone in line to get Chipper who wont have to see Bellinger 106k in stubs turn bronze or any other high priced player just sit unused really appreciate finishing the collection and give that added sense of satisfaction.

I'd love to play events, BR or RS but don't really see the point if I'm playing playing against people who think the difficulty feels like slow pitch softball.

Keep playing you will start to see that the game slows down and you will improve . It feels hopeless and at times early on especially hitting. Ball just comes in warp speed but if you play pretty regularly your eyes adjust and the number of pitches you see add up you will start recognizing balls and strikes better it seems to slowdown especially once you are able to find release points. Try using just the outer Pci in online games its large will help your confidence and offline don't use any pci at all the CPU is all over the place at times but nothing like playing an actual person they will throw you plenty of strikes and no pci will allow your focus to be on the ball constantly, sounds crazy but with good timing you will tike the pci to the ball. Hope so.e of that helps I started playing 3 years ago and I think that stuff along with just playing helped me the most.

It's not going to go to Bellinger or Mookie and since Smith has that 98 Monthly Awards already I'd say Seager is the guy. I wouldn't mind that one bit either. I like how you laid that out. I'm pretty sure after using his card last year this season would feel incomplete if we didn't get a Seager card. 3rd year playing I realized pretty quick swings matter so when every other topic was someone telling stories of Seager and his legendary swing as it became evident he was the guy I was excited but I never dream his card would be the greatest card of all time from a hitting standpoint. I may have only played the game for 3 years but it wasnt even close. I really hope we get another beauty I too would LOVE a Seager!! In 10 ABs online with his LS card I have 8 hits. 2 for a double, 1 for a triple, and 4 for a HR!! And a BB. So his OPS is sitting at a cool 3.218. By far the best start I’ve ever had with a hitter and it’s a ~83 overall gold card. Lol

I use that card still occasionally in events and to play conquest. I finally got Mookie speaking of amazing swings but let's hope I'm moving him from 2b to RF Monday to open that spot for a nice new juiced up 99 Seager to play up the middle with Lindor. I'm good till 22 if that gets done

Absolutely ripped with him last year, but can't get him above .200 in 25+ games. Anyone else having trouble so i dont feel like i need to GIT BETTER? Side note: Mattingly may be the best bat in the game. His swing is butter. I always complain about how terrible I am with Mantle. After 100 ABs I was barely over .200. After the East event, the WC event and the new ranked season, I've charged up to over .275, which for me, is impressive. I have no idea why. That said, give me a 98 Mondesi right @Ikasnu_PSN ? And never take my 99 Carpenter away.

What an amazing card the Carpenter card is. I started in 19 so I can't go to far back but that card has to be on my top shelf with 19 Griffey boss, 19 Ketel Marte topps, 19 Lou Gehrig boss, 19 Finest Bellinger, 20 Finest Soto 20 PS Seager 20 MVP Trout, 21 Niko Godrum 42, 21 Chipper LS collection card, any Lindor anything
Eric Davis, I imagine his low vision, contact vs. righties bothers people when looking at his card but he has out performed vs. righties with his awesome swing cant beat having his speed for offense and defense, plus he has a cannon for an arm

Hi I'm Ericulous and I'm a show and baseball addict. Not looking forward to the offseason or the purgatory between this and The Show 22.
Postseason stuff should be good the will get finest cards. I know we have had holiday packs and conquest the last 2 year's. Hopefully there going to give us the extreme program at some point that would suck if it doesn't happen. It's always hard to complete but fun. It's my 3rd year playing and its completely different than the previous 2 plus a month behind. Seemed like we had a couple of events to start the year then the forever event last year to end content.
