Either this, or give the rewards gradually rather than an all or nothing approach. Like give 1 voucher for the first boss, 2 for the second, and 3 for the last or something like that, and if you skip to the end then you get them all anyways. If they did any of this then I'd be pretty happy.

Seriously, there's no reason why I, who tops out at 600 in RS, should be put against people in WS. It's not fun and it's not competitive when I'm getting blown out every other game.

Eck is potentially end game, if not close to it. Based on years past, Cargo would be gone by June or July

Gameplay wise I'd give it like a 3, definitely needs some improvement but it's something I can deal with because I love baseball. Content wise I'd give it a 10, a lot of people are complaining but there's so many different ways to earn cards and even though they aren't all good, it's hard to complain about variety aside from Kluber/Newhouser/Oswalt

Sometimes just walking away from the game helps me a lot sometimes. If I’m doing really bad, I’ll just play the CPU until I feel like I have my mojo back. A lot of times I just get into bad habits if I play too long so I’ll give myself a break for a fee hours at least, if not a few days.

That’s what I’ve been doing too... might as well get something out of playing

I know the Jackie and St Patrick’s socks already have a set design that I personally think look pretty good but the default stance socks just don’t look right and often don’t fit in with many uniforms. There’s so many different Stance socks designs and I think it would be really cool if there were options to customize them a bit more to add variety in different uniforms.

@IIJACKINTHBOXII said in I think it’d be cool if we could customize the stance socks:

Either customize or just give us more options. There's hundreds of designs irl, but only a handful in the game.

I know right! I’ve been to a Stance store before and there’s tons of designs and since the socks are in the game I don’t see why SDS can’t include more designs

I know a lot of people have asked about this, but after seeing Kevin's video today and seeing Kluber get shelled, I'm really thinking about taking Newhouser at level 80 and then Rollie at silver 40 but at this point I'm confused on who to take when. Kluber seems to have mixed reviews and I don't see much about Newhouser. I'm also struggling to get cheap left handed relievers so any help with that would be appreciated.

So if any of you are like me, you were able to complete the first inning Showdown, but you'd rather bash your head with a brick than to fail the divisional Showdowns over and over again. So here's how I've been doing them, with a breakdown of the points. Granted, this will take a lot longer than doing Showdown, but it's better than not getting the TAs done at all.

March to October - 36 points
So in order for you to get the 36 points, you'll want to play on veteran difficulty and you'll have to do pretty well. As long as you don't completely suck, this should be doable. You'll also have to win the World Series to get all 36 points

Team Innings and Mission - 10 points+
This is pretty simple and straight forward. Just load your DD team up with players from the team you're trying to grind and you should be able to accumulate innings pretty quickly and complete the mission in those games. Just play on rookie and you should crush anything... or not given the current state of hitting.

Team Collection - 10 points
This is completely optional, and I've only done this for teams that aren't more than 10k stubs to complete. It's quicker than grinding out innings and missions, but not necessary

Exchange - 10 points
I don't really recommend doing this, as I find it to be a waste of players that could be locked into collections in the hope that one day I'll somehow collect them all and have Mickey Mantle, but hey, a man can dream.

Conclusion
This is nowhere nearly as quick as just doing Showdown, but for those of you who can't do it and are starting to go insane, this way will give you something to grind towards if you miss MLB 16. All in all, it'll probably take you a few days to a week to get to the FoF reward, but again, that's better than not getting there at all.

so someone that is not that good at the game should get the exact same rewards as the best players in the game? Why should the best players in the game constantly match up against the other best players in the game? Unless the better players with the harder competition get better rewards it should all be fair game. Plus, the more wins you accrue in a row your rating goes up.

I'm not asking for better rewards, but I shouldn't be blown out every game. If you make world series in RS, should you be playing someone ranked 700? I don't expect every game to be easy, but it should at least be competitive.

I know it'll come down to the 3 Lightning guys but I don’t remember who they were

Could be Orlando Cepeda or Willie McCovey

@Xx_Smalls_xX21 said in Anybody try out Alex Wood?:

I threw him in my rotations and I’d like to think his funky delivery would throw some people off but he doesn’t throw hard, has low stamina, and doesn’t throw a slider so I don’t have very high hopes. Anybody have success with him?

Havent tried him or giolotto, but want to. Once season resets I will at a lower division

I played against Giolito and absolutely shelled him. You might have a different experience but I found that he’s very easy to pick up

I took them all so I’m ready for the big collection this summer. Plus if I have more than I need then the price should skyrocket and I’ll make some quick stubs

Tried Posey but couldn’t get anything going against righties so I figured I’d just make my catcher my CAP since I haven’t had success with a catcher since Joe Mauer was in the game. Anyways, with pretty good equipment, is it better to go power or balanced?

Ive seen Josh Bell predicted as well, it would fit in with all the switch hitters being added

@MaxHarvest said in Does Oswalt just hang everything?:

I had to stop using him for this reason, once I got him prestiged he totally crapped the bed. He has like a 7era for me. Most of my other guys are under 3

My first games with him actually went really well and then the past few games I had to pull him after 4 because everything was going down the middle
