Re: What are you working on thread

Finished the Rangers team epic for Napoli, and from what I can tell I've acquired every high-end Indians player, past and present, that's currently in the game. I've got a full starting lineup and pitching rotation full of Indians...except Matt Kemp, because it took forever to get him and I can't bring myself to bench him yet.

I'm officially out of things I want to grind, so it's time to jump into online play as woeful as that sounds based on the reviews. I've had about enough of playing the CPU on rookie to get stats. Hopefully tomorrow's roster update brings the gift of the Albert Belle program! Lindor and Jose Ramirez are also having big months, so one of them could get a juiced up Diamond when POTM time comes. Saving up stubs just in case.

Breakout Brandon Phillips from the Reds collection is another guy worth looking at if you haven't got him already , he's my second base for my all time Indian line up and is a beast.

Good looking out. I didn't even realize that! I'll have to price that out. Might be a bit too expensive to justify right now, but the stats look really nice.

How's the rest of your lineup looking? I want to make sure I didn't miss anyone!

I've seen a couple of recommendations for BO Phillips now, so I'd be very interested to hear a rough price guide if/when you have it.

I'm at the point of the Utley career arc where I only have to do the exchanges but they are super expensive so I think I might hold off for now.

At current prices, it looks like he'd cost around 70K. Votto alone is 60K or a little more. So basically you're dropping 70K for two Diamonds, which isn't that bad.

Cheers mate. Out of my range for now, but the Votto/Phillips combo might be something to plan towards.

Don't have any of our live series diamond players yet and my starting rotation and bullpen is a bit of a mix.

Rotation is
Diamond Jack Morris
Salazar
Bauer
Clevinger
5th starter is variety of changes but I'm thinking of going after Ubaldo in the Rockies epic.

Bullpen
McCallister
Shaw
Smith
Sipp
Crockett
Olsen
Allen


C Diamond Meija
1B live series EE
2B Brandon Phillips
3B Gold Mark Reynolds
SS Omar
LF Brantley
CF Breakout Austin Jackson
RF Diamond Larry Doby

Silver Joe Carter
Gold Santana
Silver Drew Stubbs
Asdrubal Cabrera
Silver Raburn (his versatility comes in handy)

Looking at Rich Hill and Pomeranz or even C.C for the 5th spot in the rotation because i can't afford Klubot or Cookie and Tomlin gets lit up too easy. Hoping we get a Cliff Lee card at some point. Tossing up between doing the Yankees or Rangers epic for either Giambi or Napoli to upgrade 1st base.

Re: What are you working on thread

Some new cards earned:

88 Jackie Robinson and the objective is a HR and SB in the same game. No idea how he's going to hit a HR lol
85 Bob Gibson: was a HUGE grind but somehow have this done

91 McCutchen: sold immediately because I like my Dale Murphy in CF

The promo this weekend is a Camo promo just FYI, I bet it's like Mother's Day. Reason I say this: the rewards for May Memorial Day stats are a Camo pack item.

Yeah, I was excited for a new player to be released .... but not behind a 200k stub paywall like it was for mother's day equipment and this one too.



Also, Doug, sorry for late response, but yeah you're screwed on that extreme. If you can stomach it I would recommend Cardinalbird's video, that's the formula I used.

Re: What are you working on thread

I'm three missions away from starting extreme conquest. It's been a real grind with my time when I have to play the game. Lol I really want the Hershisher card been a fan for ever. I get excited when I see a flasback cards I owned in real life as a kid [emoji3] and I want it in my DD. I really want the Will Clark epic card but not sure I want to do all epics yet. Still have plenty to do. Overall im having a blast as always. It's my baseball game of choice.

Still grinding on that dang Brett mission. Wow

To me the pack is like a lottery ticket so it's fun to open anyways. Hey if I strike gold then I'll be ecstatic.

Staying strong on the NMS grind! The more I play the less of a reason I see to have a big name like Trout unless you just really are a big fan. I can compete with any team out there with my squad.

Finally unlocked the 90 Billy Williams today. Silver jersey prices finally went down but I assume they will sky rocket here soon. I probably have 3-400 just sitting in inventory of various teams.

Re: What are you working on thread

I really want that gagne, but this event is beyond painful. Why do they make us play with such terrible teams? I get not making it fairer for newer players, but I'm sure even they could scrape together an 80 overall lineup. The 70 OVR cap is making every team look the same

Re: What are you working on thread

I'm working on the April rewards Didi Gregorious missions and I have Corbin and Manea to complete. On the Corbin rewards it says (1 win, I CG Shutout, and 8 strikeouts, Min 8 inn pitched) well I accomplished all of those. I was completely scared of losing my shut out in the 9th because they started to rock me in the 7th and 8th so I took him out. After the game I win 10-0 and yet Corbin didn't complete his mission? What gives? I completed 8 innings like it said. For the record I know a CG is a full 27 outs. Maybe I should've just hung my balls out there and went for 9. Idk.

You need the CG I don't know why it even bothers saying min 8 innings because it's impossible to get a cg win in 8 innings only a loss

an online quit after 8 innings is the only reason that is there.

I personally like the restrictions and I'm sitting at 8-3 through 11 games. I was the better player in 10 of 11 games. I made one mistake in those other losses. One game a guy absolutely crushed me and I quit down 5-1.

I finally found out how to manage a knuckle baller...well at least had a good 2 ABs before my opponent pulled Niekro.

The grind for 35 is going to be very real.
