I feel like I’ve opened quite a few packs and have had just one so far. Hoping it’ll even out soon.

What are people doing with their stubs? I'm at 100k and have no idea where to start. I usually start with collections but I haven't done that yet. I'm halfway done with Nation map and hope to finish that today but it's kind've a bummer I'm only making progress towards these legends cards I'm not going to use for the xp

I bought a extra mantle card by accident on launch night for like 20k so I'm hoping that price will go up after regular launch.

Last year I use like 60-70k stubs on the Adley prospect card and got it to p5 but a few weeks later he was down half the price so I've been reluctant to buy cards so far

I see everyone likes the Mauer cover card and I'm still using bronze Sanchez lol

Just not playing a live series opponent and the improved logic I definitely agree. It’s a challenge that I wasn’t expecting, and I like it.

So I lied. I hopped into a MS game and got the 3 errors for the mystery mission and then quit out and have been quitting out to get to the playoffs.

You don't lose stamina for quitting at least in MS.

This is actually a godsend because I had a couple of games go to extra innings and my rotation and bullpen have been getting abused. I'll be fully rested for the playoffs.

But fyi that if you go this route to get to the playoffs you don't lose stamina like you did in Ranked last year on quits. I don't know if this applies during Ranked as well because no pitches have been thrown while doing this so we'll see how that shakes out.

I'm going after Cover Mauer before anything else. Then I think I'll go after the AL East because I want Mussina. I'm not actually interested in the Live Series as a whole this year at all. So I won't be rushing to complete collections and will be selling off stuff that I don't need or care for and use it for what I want.

I invested in the Manga cards because they were fairly cheap and I think there will be more with a possible collection in the future. There's no way they stop at 5 of these because they're absolutely sick and no way they only pay out a single pack if you collect them all.

I'll hold them for a while if they don't spike like crazy on regular launch.

I may be biased, but I think the Pujols card is worth the stubs. Can play 4 positions, P5 will have max contact vs R, 100+ power against R and L. I also suggest the cover Ohtani. I’ve been batting him leadoff in conquest and he’s been killing the ball. I actually like using him so much, his live series is going to be my next big purchase when I get enough stubs. Also, count me as someone who loves the Mauer cover card.

I sold two diamonds and two golds to get the 60K that I needed to get Pujols. Honestly, I have a hard time not seeing him in my lineup all year. Now starts the slow climb earn some stubs. Next target is Arenado for my Cardinals collection.

Logos not showing up for me in presentation elements on PS5 appears to be fixed with this morning's patch. Pre-release bug that they obviously already knew about and had a fix in the pipeline for.
