    It was Jon Dowd. He was my Dynasty player last year.

      Lol still the greatest Home Run hitter of all time, and HOF caliber before the alleged steroid era of his career. Can't wait to unlock him and smash HR's with him. You will probably have to get a crazy amount of HR's throughout DD to unlock him.

        I would guess you're correct. The contact "wedge's" look to be just a bit below where I would think "80" would fall.

              I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

              I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

                I am not sure if it's because I have never played Risk or any "Turn based strategy" game before for that matter. But I still remain a bit perplexed with the Conquest mode. Actually I don't think I have ever been so perplexed/intrigued about anything before. I was hoping during that IGN stream they would remain on the map of the States longer and truly explain it in more detail. Maybe this is just me though? I am sure some of you out there understand it completely, and if thats the case, do you mind taking a moment and explaining it.

                Thanks
                In my opinion, the mode looks like a variation on the board game Risk. If you're not familiar with it, there are numerous free online clones as well as mobile apps where you can learn to play. Instead of armies, MLB the Show has "fans" which are used to conquer adjacent tiles. The goal is to gain as many tiles as possible.

                  I assume Greg Bird didnt get a face scan? Didn't look like him at all.
                  If allthe rooks who debuted last year dont have a face scan that wont bode well for the Yanks as they had the most debuts in the MLB last year.

                    ya you'll wanna take over the whole North America....for ppl that really dont know the strategy of Risk (cuz thats exactly what the style is) youll wanna stack your fan population on the outsides of your territory. There is no point to have 5 million fans in the middle because teams wont attack there. Also, if you lose a lot like the devs did on the stream youll basically wanna retreat and make a strong core of probably 4-5 tiles instead of being so spread out and being vulnerable. I know a ton of ppl are gonna get greedy and try to grow too fast and get completely torn up too. Trial by error is gonna be big for ppl that have never played Risk type games
