Re: What are you working on thread

The 30 team vs. CPU grind is definitely a slog. But worth it, in my opinion. I was able to get most of the Future Stars programs complete by playing those games. And now, you could do the same with the Postseason program as well.

On a side note, I got my first Immortal yesterday. After unlocking PS Cody Bellinger, it got me to the 40% needed to unlock Immortal George Brett. I haven't really been trying to get any immortals so far, but it is still pretty cool to finally get one. Hoping to get Eckersley and Trout this weekend, and probably Yogi out of the TC once I reach Diamond level.

Re: What are you working on thread

Haha...no, the only event games I played in were the 5 needed to complete the November timed missions. That was still when the event was the one for the World Series. And boy, do I remember why I don't play this game online at all. The gameplay is so much worse than offline, it's unreal. I'm glad a few of the wins needed came via the other player quitting. It's brutal online.

Anywho...got my Immortal Eckersley this weekend. Nasty. Much better than the Immortal Brett, who I cannot hit with to save my soul. Still 5 more Postseason missions away from iTrout. I really hate the CPU refusing to "randomly" pick the pitchers I need to complete missions with. Still waiting for PS Kyle Freeland to come up once so I can get his 1 win and 6 Ks.

Just pinch hit with him in like the 3rd and let him pitch, youll get the wins and your k's as long as its on rookie or something.

I have used that trick in the past, but I have been playing through some Conquest Destiny missions and it doesn't work as well in the short, 3-inning games.

He did finally come up in the randomizer yesterday, and I passed his mission to get PS Aaron Judge. Only 4 more missions until Immortal Trout...

My reward for the beat all 30 teams mission. Most rewarding grind in my DD history. Played all games on legendary and hof and actually had fun playing the game again.

Re: What are you working on thread

I just purchased NBA 2K19 for $27 on Black Friday, so that time has come - when I close out of MLB The Show for 2018.

I have to say, with this being my first full year playing DD, there were definitely things I liked, and things I really didn't like. Some of the decisions made when it comes to content drops were odd, and the Finest card implementation still boggles my mind. Immortals and the 125 attribute cap were quite controversial, but I didn't mind some of the programs and grinds. It was a mixed bag, to say the least.

That said, DD felt fresh to me, compared to Franchise mode, which is getting to be quite stale with its limited updates each year.

At this point, I think I will hop back into The Show 18 near the 2019 baseball season, as I am not planning on getting 19 (unless major work is done to the offline game modes).

Cheers!

Re: What are you working on thread

Not sure if anyone will reply... but I just got back into the Show... baseball fever finally got to me. I have done a fairly decent amount but have not played in probably 3 months. Jumped on and got the challenge for diamond Mejia done and working through the playoffs stuff, on Arcia now.. what are some programs that aren't going to take me a decade to do that I can do in my spare time till March? Not a hardcore player, but wanna be working towards something in DD. I also began some rising stars stuff and have about half of Tyler O'Neill done.

I personally feel the Postseason and Future Stars programs were the best things they did all year in DD. I would do those for sure, especially because they factor into getting Immortals.

As far as all the other stuff goes, be prepared to log a lot of time and spend a lot of stubs for souvenirs to exchange to complete the career arcs, Immortals, etc. Some of the grinds for player missions are really long...try to double or triple up on getting things done to maximize your time.

Yeah my current lineup is strictly stuff needed for stats, it's how I got Mejia in 1 game with the 5 catcher hits. Had 5 catchers playing lol I enjoy the postseason grind so far, I quickly perused the easier ones and started with those. I did miss the game for sure. Had a blast last night.

Re: What are you working on thread

On the Winker challenge for O'neill, seems daunting, failed multiple times last night. Just need 2 HR's and 1 RBI with Mejia to have his program done. got Adames half done and need 2 more hits to get Robles! forgot how much I enjoyed the grind of this game.

Barry Larkin’s final card might kill me. That and Chase Utley. They are both entering Daniel Nava territory.

Re: What are you working on thread

I have needed just 1 HR with Mejia for like a week and can'tan't get it!
