    Re: What are you working on thread

    Went on a mini tear with Bench and finished his stat mission finally. Immortal Piazza is mine.

    Also unlocked diamond Thomas and I mash with him. His final 2 missions are the only things in the way of immortal Pujols is mine.

      Smh my diamond reward was a Syndergaard. Get this mets [emoji706][emoji706][emoji706] outta here!

      Going to wait a few days to sell Parker but the plan is to at least acquire Vida Blue. Right now I'm 6-0 in BR and my 9 win reward is Stanton so at least 3-1 can get me 45-50k more.

      I think I actually might binge BR.....have yet to go 12-0 this year

      Got Stanton but not my 12-1

        I got Posey as my reward. Not great, but it definitely could've been worse. Sitting on 310K. Gonna rip some packs and hope to get lucky again, but my pack luck has been so good recently I'd be shocked if it continues. Good luck with the BR run! I may dabble a bit as well

          Now that 9 win rewards are low-level diamonds and 6 win rewards are golds, BR is worth it again. Felt like light work just getting to 9 wins yesterday, free 45-50k in stubs for getting Stanton. Might do this more...and....go for Immortal Vlad?


          Also, no Tiants have been put on the market at all. I simply can't be in the bidding for him so I'm taking my stubs and getting Vida Blue, and I also might blow a bunch of stubs for exchanges, since all I need to do for Piazza is his All-Star mission and finishing the Bench/Carter programs.



          Also I am pulling for you in your pack opening quest. I just want someone on this forum to take the ecstasy substitute known as pulling a Trout.


          Got Vida Blue! Now I'm deciding between Jose Altuve and Ichiro. Kinda weird that I don't want Ichiro just because he doesn't have any power whatsoever....lol

            My only RS game with Vida, I threw a perfect game. I think you're gonna like him. Also, the first Tiant just sold for 800K. Next bids are around 600K. If I sell the Fishman I'll be around 710K, so that spread is the difference between me getting Tiant and not getting Tiant. I should wait until Friday to see what the POTM awards are (maybe a souped up Ramirez or Bauer?), but I want Tiant now!

              Re: What are you working on thread

              Ugh.....didn’t play much of the last RS because the hitting and most everything about online play is backwards or broken. I decided to Breakout my shiny new Immortals Ripken and Piazza along with Trout and big Diamond Frank Thomas. I see RS is still a mess. I lost 2-1. I had 3 hits. A solo HR with Trout and 2 solid singles with my pitcher. My opponent had 3 hits. A solo HR with JD Martinez and 2 bloop singles. After his first bloop single I threw a wild pitch moving his runner to second. His next bloop single came via the pitcher of course driving in the winning run. 6 total hits 3 by pitchers.
              My pitcher, Don Sutton hit the ball infinitely harder than my immortals or big guys despite them making good contact with good timed swings. I just don’t get why they don’t fix this.
              I guess I did all this work to unlock players for nothing. Staying far away from RS unless they patch it.

                What are you working on thread

                So easy to get to 6 wins in BR now. Out of 6 games people have quit three of them lol


                Holy jesus. So I was 2-0 when I lost my first and decided, keep at least trying to get to 9 since those are low level diamonds. Probably best way to make stubs now.

                My 9 win reward is the 85 Phil niekro. Going for a measly 300-350k in stubs [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15]


                This is what separates people who go 12-0 and people who don't. You can go 12-0 if you have the presence of mind to do such things:

                1 My opponent had a man on 1st and 3rd, one out. The guy on 3rd was a fast player. I was going for double play. As I'm about to throw the pitch, he sends his guy from first to second. I could tell he was trying to bait me into getting that out so he could send the guy from third to home. I really didn't have a choice so I just let him have the base.

                This should not happen. Ever.

                2. He had All-Star Jackie at first. Fast, but not that fast. Could tell he was desperate to piss me off as he kept leading off. I kept stepping off. Eventually he gave up. He eventually attempted a hit and run with Pedroia. I was able to throw out Pedroia out at first. He was able to send Jackie from 1st to 3rd on an infield out.

                This should not happen. Ever.

                I lost to the first one. Second one, I came back and launched a walk off homer on the *******. Felt great.

                  That **** is why I cant play this online anymore. Everyone plays like such a huge douche now.

                  I used to thrive off that crap, beating people who played like that. Its still a great feeling afterwards but I dont have the patience or desire to deal with the 8 innings of **** leading up to that feeling anymore. Think Im getting too old haha.

                  The baserunning is so incredibly frustrating in regards to how easy it is to abuse. Im on the opposite side of the spectrum. Half the time, because of lag, Im lucky if I can even get my guys to advance an extra base.

                    That sums up sports gaming....doesn’t matter how good you. Doesn’t matter how well you understand the sport, doesn’t matter how good a team you field......only matters how good you are at exploiting the game’s flaws, bugs, and glitches or how lucky you get.

                      If I ever see Jay ****ing Bruce I'm going to give him a kiss. Three straight games where he gets me a walk off homer. 5-0 now, just 7 more till Tiant!!! Hopefully I don't need more walk off homers!


                      Once you hit 4-0 your competition is ruthless. Yikes

                        Re: What are you working on thread

                        Decided to try and play some BR to maybe get a diamond since I sure as **** cant from opening like 600-700 packs.

                        Was 6-0 cruising along, but the complete randomness of these games really makes them feel fixed. I realize that makes no sense but I was smashing everything for 6 games, then all of a sudden this kid could just throw the ball down the middle and Im getting good/good in the middle of the pci contact and only hitting it 85 mph. But this kid is early/late on all 3 of the homers he hit. Every pitch I throw on the corner is a ball, and every pitch he throws on the corner is a strike. You just cant have a game where that can happen, it completely ruins the integrity of a mode that people(sure as **** not me) spend hundreds of dollars on.

                        If I square a ball up, you cant just randomly decide Im not gonna hit it hard. Its stupid.

                            Not yet, took a little break to eat dinner and Jay Bruce just walked me off against a lefty so that was cool.

                            My 9 win reward is Justin Turner so Im not even that into it right now, but at least between the gold, silver and pack Im guaranteed my stubs back.

                              Yeah last night I got to 6 and saw my 9 win was James Paxton which destroyed any enthusiasm I had (lost game 8 anyways). I guess after Stanton, Capps, and Niekro, it had to balance out.

                                Solarte with the pinch hit walk off to get me to 9. Arenado is my 12 win reward, now im excited again.

                                Lol nevermind, lost my next game. Could tell from the first pitch I was gonna lose. Kid had 4 hits in first inning against me, all of them on pitches outside of the strike zone that he got good/good on. He couldnt hit anything in the strike zone though which just perfectly demonstrates one of the many broken aspects of this game because of how the pci works.
