I can put up 20+ hits against the CPU including 2 for 4 with my starting pitcher but baby arms Bench will be 0-5. Argh!!!!!
    Power swing and only swing at pitches up in the zone with him. 19 out of my 45 hits with him have been extra base hits.

      What are you working on thread

      just need to exchange first basemen (Almost done) and cardinals/angels hats for Pujols.....but I think I will just use my 5% on that. I'm like 2/3 of the way through with Nolan's jerseys and Babe hats, and I calculated both of those and they won't be too bad. only thing I might be screwing myself out of is Dodger jerseys/hats but whatever, I'll live without Jackie Robinson



      So instead of spending 45-50k on hats I will be buying a 50 pack woooo



      I should not have bought a 50 pack

        I finished the Belle and Alomar arcs today. Also unlocked the diamond Schmidt. I need 28 more catcher hits to unlock the diamond Bench. Then, once I do the diamond Schmidt and Bench missions, I'll have every position player arc done.

        I'm 113 strikeouts away from the diamond Jenkins and also have the diamond Nen unlocked. I'm not really going after Seaver or the immortal relievers, so other than the insane Ruth missions, I'm getting close to being done with the stat grinding.

          If I don't spike my controller through a wall on this common pitchers/all hitter event it's going to be an accomplishment. But I'm at least going to try it because of it being an immortal souvenir event.

          I really hope they put the mercy rule on for this, unlike most events. Some games might never end.
          I'm ready! Back from a 7-day vacation and going to embark on the grind yet again. I'm like 170 H from the diamond Frank Thomas so I'll have a lineup that looks like:

          C - 88 Piazza
          1B - 97 F Thomas
          2B - 85 CAP or 90 Utley
          3B - 95 Scmidt
          SS - 99 Ripken
          LF - 99 Chipper
          CF - 99 Griffey
          RF - 94 Snider

          After I get Diamond Frank I'll be going after the Diamond Bench and I already have Immortal Piazza at 85%. So there's an outside Chance I have an absolute god-squad for this event...

          Gonna be a fun event

            Thanks for the tip but I’ve been doing that. I’m playing the CPU on rookie and they always throw fat pitches that I cream with everyone including my pitchers but Bench only hits it weakly to the infield. I’ve yet to hit a ball hard with with him at all. Must be bad luck on my end but whatever it is it’s seriousky holding up my pursuit of immortal Piazza

              Since jumping back into DD when the Frank Thomas and Fergie Jenkins arcs became available, I managed to make some good progress.

              I now have Impact Veteran Frank Thomas, I just completed the rookie Fergie Jenkins card, and I also managed to complete the total Billy Williams arc in the process, as well.

              I'm really only focusing on completing the arcs of players that I like, so I'm really not even all that interested in Immortals, maybe save Babe Ruth. I did unlock the Bambino's rookie starting pitcher card last night, which is sure to help with some of the Fergie Jenkins SP legend stats.

                Re: What are you working on thread

                After getting snider, I’m Mainly focusing on the nenn & cc grinds. Once those arcs are done, I’ll have Immortal Nolan & Wagner. In all honesty, probably gonna be the only immortals other than Griffey & Seaver (both not a rush) I’ll end up messing with.

                Waiting for Bellinger to get back to gold (hopefully on Friday) to really ramp up the frank Thomas grind.

                At the moment, my top team winds up looking like this:

                CF - Andrew McCutchen- AS
                2B - Altuve - LS
                RF - Duke Snider - PS
                C - Craig Biggio - 89 CAP (79 con / 107 power)
                LF - Doby - AS
                SS - Correa - LS
                1B - Sean Green - AS
                3B - Gleyber Torres - FS

                Bench
                2B Scott Kingery - FS
                C Francisco Mejia - FS
                3B Kris Bryant - LS
                CF Victor Robles - FS
                CF Dale Murphy - FS

                So, I’m basically at a huge delema where I don’t have any “holes” or immortals other than what’s listed that I’m overly interested in. By and far, that 89 catcher CAP with the right equipment to me is much more worth it then Piazza

                  That's what I felt at first, but now that Johnny Bench has been released, I've low key been grinding a CAP SS as well as catcher. I have Gleybar, Ozzie, and Omar. Ozzie and Omar are awesome on defense but don't hit anything besides singles. Gleybar can hit alright but his defense is just above average. So I'm thinking Bench+CAP SS might be the better combo than CAP C and some weak *** SS.

                  And Ernie Banks costs like 300k and isn't that great so no thanks to that card!

                    Agreed. Hopefully you don’t already have a gold / diamond catcher. Unfortunately for me I already had my catcher at gold when the bench dropped (side note I’m like 3/4 to having all the diamond stats for bench’s grind). I’d highly recommend grinding a C cap while going for bench, as bench can play so many positions (that’s my ultimate game plan for him).

                      I've been grinding silver C stats for Bench, I figured I'll use diamond when I make my ranked seasons run and put my CAP back there. I also have the Molina from Conquest Extreme and I have literally never used it, lol. So I might give that a whirl if it saves me from Bench grinding.

                      Speaking of ranked seasons, it's time to start that now that I have Pujols. CC/Fergie/Nolan/Seaver/Jackie/Babe will wait till later.

                      This is how my roster for the run shapes out:
                      Immortal Gibson
                      LS Scherzer
                      AS Sutton
                      AS/HW Greinke (Don't remember which one lol)
                      IV Nolan

                      C: CAP
                      1B: Frank Thomas
                      2B: AS Utley
                      3B: Immortal Pujols
                      SS: Omar Vizquel
                      LF: Mike Trout
                      CF: Immortal Griffey
                      RF: Kemp/Snider (Probably Kemp because of speed)

                      Can't wait

                        Really need the prices of players to start dropping a bit. Only reason I dont have Thomas is the exchanges. Ill be done with Snider in a game. Almost done with Bench. CC should be done today too.

                        Im probably just going to have to stop being a cheap ****.

                          There's a stub sale coming up, starting this weekend. Stubs are going to be 50% off.

                          Seems like that means that prices will continue to go up with the influx of extra stubs into the market.

                            Yup, stub sales are always awful news for people who play the game to make stubs rather than pay money. Prices will soar on everything, so there is probably easy profit to be made if you can be bothered (I can't tbh, this game exhausts me this year)

                              Oh christ. Really?

                              Yall remember last year when this made the prices of players absolutely insane? Crap. Maybe I should go invest. Only LS player I currently have is Scherzer but I consider him a keeper (At least until I get Immortal Nolan and Seaver). But if his price gets crazy, I'll have to consider...
