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

    Just got Carroll and Acuna after concluding the same game ... 90 and 150 collected! Well that changes my outfield / energy towards Ranked. Too bad I'm going to lose my first 20 games adjusting to non Rookie pitching, lol.

      Man, I'm like 55-65% done on the team affinities, and 14 games into a mini season run. Accidentally used a voucher in the use 5 instead of use 1 spot so I couldn't unlock anything with that

      Were people able to do this with just one mini season run or need two?

      I'm starting to swing a at everything and hit worse now trying to rush through it. I was enjoying the grind for a while to get offline but it's worn off and ready to be done now!

        I'm just finally playing again. Didn't even know where to start so pumping through the Topps Now moments and then starting POTM. Then probably all star program.

        Feels so weird haha

          I did mini series when I was where you were and did one with mop up. As long as you’re using the Captains and 97s that get you XP, it’s possible.

            well i got my first collection pack and took Adley i just havent found a catcher i was good with yet and i also finished the BR program and took Hank cant wait to use him and id like to do it in ranked but with the 2way energy glitch i dont think i wanna deal with everyone using Donaldson or Ohtani out of the pen every game ..

            i need 1 more Ta cards for Jram and then ill need the last 10 for Carroll . i am almost done with a MS run that will help with that ..

            im hoping they fix the glitch by this weekend because id like to play some ranked this weekend if not i guess ill check out the new event they are putting in tomorrow .

            i think my ranked lineup will look like this

            C Adley
            1B 99 Olson
            2B 99 JRam
            SS 99 Jackie
            3B 97 Arenado ( im a cards homer yes )
            Lf Hank thompson
            Cf 97 Edmonds
            Rf 99 Hammerin Hank
            dh Stan the man

            bench
            99 Joc
            99 Randy HRD
            99 Buck oniell
            99 Happ

              I was perusing DD last night and noticed they added a few new Core captain cards (like a Babe Ruth "old timers" captain and a Pedro "1990s pitchers captain). Does anyone know when these were released? I had some residual stubs so I just snagged them off the market but the game doesn't say where they are available.

                June 30th. They were in a flash sale pack. The Jimmy Rollins captain is really fun as well

                  Ah...that's a really odd place to include new cards...

                  Thanks for the reply; glad to know I didn't overlook them buried in a program or something.

                    I use https://www.showdd.io/23/packs/captains-pack to track down packs/set cards that I’d otherwise overlook. Handy when I want to deploy some stubs towards a collection. I can focus on buying the BR/Event/Pack cards while grinding for the offline ones in the programs.

                      Finished the All Star Program and got the 99 Vlad Jr.

                      Quick and easy program I hope they put out more if these quick ones.

                        Been putting a ton of time into moments. Got Topps Now caught up and have June Monthly almost done. Pivoted to team affinity moments to at least start some progress so I can grab that Olson.

                        This isn't a complaint whatsoever; more just me talking out loud. I ended up not playing for I think around a month or maybe more. This is the longest break I've taken in a game cycle that wasn't instigated by distaste for gameplay. I think the game is much improved this year with gameplay as I've said many times. I also enjoy sets and seasons which plays a part in making the comeback feel more exciting. It sucks that some cards I really liked can't be used now. But there's so many amazing cards available and I'll be forced into using cards i never would have used which I think is great.

                        But... It's the same old game. This is where I feel the lack of variety in game modes really hurts. It's the same program structures, showdowns, conquest and moments just to get moar cardz with the clear indication that SDS just wants me to play ranked.

                        This is where a salary cap mode would be amazing. This is where an "unlimited" mode where all cards were legal would add legs. A weekend league; anything. There's SO MUCH I like about the game this year but the initial excitement of getting back into the grind eventually felt like I was sprinting into a wall. Once I get these programs caught up, I'm left with the same barren choices as always.

                        Again, not complaining. Just hoping out loud that expanded game modes is next on the list for SDS because I think they have a stellar effort to build off of into next year. Following their usual trends, next year should probably be the first current gen exclusive version where the old consoles are left behind. Then again gaming is so different now so who knows.

                          The Shark Map is coming on Tuesday. I hate to be an assumer, but I'm assuming we will have a core captain pack in there as this was just available for 1 hour almost a month ago.

                            I'm trying to debate, should I dump all my set 2 cards? Likely no way i'm getting to that 3rd pack anyway...Kershaw is going for like 50k and by the time i get these new cards i prob won't use stan even tho I'm good with him and hes like 140k or something.

                            Seems like the market has crept back up a little bit

                              Started BR this morning and I’m already at 70! Went 6-0 to start and came one hit shy of getting that 9 point XP or I’d be wrapping up. Love the swings of all the guys that get you XP, and I got JRam to parallel 2 in just one run!! Guys an absolute monster, as is Harris, Moncada and Olsen.

                              How is Hank Thompson’s swing? Love his versatility in RF, and Rube would probably be my 5th starter.

                                I'm in the same boat. Looking at all the Set 1 cards I never locked in and the Set 2 cards. At this rate, I don't know if I'll even get to a choice pack in 2 to take Hank. And even then, he'll rotate out pretty soon and I'm not moving Chipper off the Wild Card unless they release a comparative version in a future set which doesn't seem very likely.

                                I'm debating just selling off all my Set 2 and Set 1 cards and going all out for Set 3 with my current 300k Stub stash to get Acuna. Really, the only thing that would mess this up is if they suddenly dropped some kind of collection requiring older cards but I don't see that happening.
