    Re: What Are You Working On? - MLB The Show 23 Edition

    Decided to buy Judge since he seems to be heating up and could potentially move up in overall. Also bought DeGrom which leaves me with Ohtani and Trout to finish Live Series.

    Sitting at around 130k. Still in the weird spot of liking my team but wanting Jeter. Turner/Lindor up the middle is super fun but Jeter's swing is so good that slotting him in there should be just as good. I think VV has me convinced that McGwire is literal Satan so I don't know if I envision him longterm on the squad but would at least play with him a bit because of course I will.

    Murakami will be my 1B until he's rotated out unless they release a beefy Matt Olson. The Captain Carlos Santana is so damn good and a perfect DH so even starting Mac over him doesn't sound super exciting.

    With Utley my likely first pick in the boss pack, my middle infield might be completely different soon. I COULD go Maddux just because Lopez/May/Bumgarner can easily be upgraded versus me having Lindor/Turner for 2B. Maybe that's what I'll do to get a bit more run out of those guys because Maddux will get annihilated on All-Star so I don't think I could even use him until later in a Ranked run.

      I might just grind the Charisma players PXP instead that's repeatable for 10 xp.
      I did the same thing. Failed it before. They made it easier and I still failed it. I just want Ozzie lol

        Initially I just wanted Joe Kelly, but then I figured these cards are pretty fun to use. So yeah now I want O'Neil & Ozzie.

          I am using the Captain McGwire grinding for the TA2 stuff and i love that they gave him the right HR animation when its a no doubter. his swing is different for sure and this one is a little long but once you get the timing the balls flys and im assuming his juiced card later in the year will be dangerous.

          The captain McGwire is definitely better than the collection reward one. Although I actually don’t start him in my ranked lineup. This is the lineup I’m using to get the boost, but sub Gorman in for Mac at the lineup screen before the game too keep the boost. Then if I’m facing a lefty, I’ll sub Goldy for Gorman. Once I finish the ranked program, I’ll have Stan at first and move Walker to the bench because I don’t hit the greatest with him.

            Got my first Boss pack and sold Utley. Used the stubs to by Goldy and finish the Cards. I’m now 3 gatekeepers away from completing live series, Mookie, Verlander, and Diaz. I’m keeping Harper for the time being, so that’s like 100k stubs if I desperately need it, but I’m like 300k away so I’m going to need some pack luck.

            I love the Harper card. He’s a complete beast. I’m using him at 1B right now, since I haven’t loved anyone over there and OF seems easier to fill.

            Making progress and having fun, so I think I’m enjoying the change to sets this year.

              i dont think im going to have enough time to get the stuff i need for the program so i may sell Harper and Hader and Utley for Stan and still see if i can get there to grab Kinsler or Ryan

                I didn't know about this bug.

                IIRC from the pre-release streams, boosts from captains are supposed to be lost if the Captain is on the bench or benched before 2/3rds of the game is over.
                Play the games you love, not the games you want to love.

                  Re: What Are You Working On? - MLB The Show 23 Edition

                  Kind've bummed this event is ending because I got mantle batting above 400 and was figuring out Utley. I went like 0-10 with utley then got him back above 300 and hit maybe 4 hr's and a few lefty lefty as well.

                  I'm not sure about the best cards for the central divisions...was trying to keep TA related cards in my event lineup but that vlad, will smith, edmonds cards I wasn't hitting with for ****. I do much better with the PXP missions vs like get 5 XBH or 10 hits.

                  I'm starting to hit online pretty good so I hate to go back to offline and mess things up again so I may go ahead and try to get my 20 event wins and/or start BR before going back offline to finish up mexican series and team affinity

                  I also faced my first P2 randy...I'm like how did this guy get him already?!?! But I quit out instantly because I had about 20 minutes to get 1 win before bed for the luis gonzales card and I wasn't messing with that fire just yet

                    They have to be in the lineup in your main roster screen, but if you move them out in the pre-game lineup screen you still get the boosts. It’s been like that since launch, I’m not sure if they are able to fix it.

                      I like Will Smith’s captain card. He had a really nice swing and is easy to time. Also watched a streamer P5 Randy today just in event games and realized I’m quitting whenever I see him. Last year if I ever touched Randy the person I was playing was terrible or it was an accident.

                        Well i hopped on last night and finished the TA EAST conquest so im up to 50%on all the divisions atleast i believe im at 75% on the NL Central but thats expected when i use my Cards team for Ranked.. i see now im going to need that new Lou Brock Card coming out today because his swing is always sooooo good and he fits so great in my Theme team ,but him coming along will push Oniell to the bench which im fine with i can use him as a defensive replacement for Musial in the late innings if i need it ... i also sold Harper and Utley and Hader and bought Musial because theres no way im getting the innings for the program when everyone quits aftergetting down more then 1 run or even if i hit a lead of bomb ..

                        last night i jumped into Ranked after finishing the conquest and 1st game started Gallen and gave up a lead off HR to Rickey and then sat him down 123 after that , then top 1st i think i put up 3 or 4 runs and then he immediately quit after the 4th ,, so jumped into another one and finally faced one of those loser Bunt guys Started the 99 Waino and he literally bunted every single AB he didnt care about me having the bunt defense on or not and still did it . he had Prior going and he is always so hard for me to hit for some reason . It was 0-0 until the 3rd when i hit a Bomb with Gorman on an up and in fastball and then the next inning i hit a bomb with Goldy and then in the 4th inning i got a hr from Ozzie and i guess that made him mad so he quit lol but he literally had 5 bunt hits becasue at least 4 of them would hit Waino in the foot as he was running to cover 1st it was so frustrating but o well i figured it out and im up to 5-1 now overall. i hate that my 1 lose is from playing on my phone just to get that Egg from that program .

                        i think im going to jump into Ranked again on friday night since im off saturday so that should be fun hah

                          Decided to buy Stubs to get Ohtani and finish the LS just to get it done.

                          Literally 3 minutes later they announced the flash sale.

                          If Ohtani/Trout/Judge all drop a huge amount I'm gonna be so mad lmao

                            they really screwed that Mikolas card only having 90 h/9 but hes the 2nd to the last card in that program , like what the hell man. i need to try him out to see if he will replace lynn or gallen or even graccefo in the Cards rotation for me now . Already bought that new Brock and cant wait to use him , his swing is always so good

                              These flash sales in the middle of a week day are lame. Because of my job I'm always asleep during these things. Looks like the last one on my app was 505pm eastern.

                              I don't even know what cards I kind've want to buy and bc of the whole set 1 dying out thing I have no desire to scoop any of those up.

                              Plus these names for the set 2 cards being nicknames and not real names make or more difficult to look up. So Idk, I have 260k stubs and really no plan on how to use them. Would like to buy Nolan ryan but assume he drops significantly so also don't wanna spend stubs on him yet. Chapman isn't much less than yesterday. I'll eventually get verlander. Seems like best set 2 stuff you get for free anyway

                              I never really use Harper but I assume he dropped since he was in a duos pack. Was thinking about trying Stan in last event but never got to it.

                                Flash sales were garbage anyway. I didn't monitor the market throughout but while there were definitely some price drops, at least when I was looking the big cards didn't drop too much.

                                Like the alter ego pack didn't seem to drop the rare round below 50k unless they dropped after.
