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

i am so frustrated with myself , last night i was finishing off the Xtreme conquest and instead of just playing the last game against the Rays and there 44 fans i decided to attack and them reinforce and do it again and of course i freaking lost on the 6th turn so all that work for nothing nothing counted towards the program and have to start over again i'm so mad. I think i may start the mini seasons on legend just to see if i get the 5 wins and then switch to HOF but havent really had much time to actually grind lately.

I still can't do the Marte moment or the Garcia moment and im not even gonna try the Ohtani or Elly moment , but o well ill get it done eventually

That sucks

That's entirely the reason why I haven't even started extreme yet

I'm at 755k stubs and still have some set 2 cards left to sell off but I feel like a moron for spending 500k on elly. Don't want to see his price tank next week like when I bought mauer

Feel good that mantle has kept his value.

I can prob sell my Hoffman and Yoshida for another 100k and hoping glavine is still worth 160k when I get him. So I'm basically at a million.

On another note, I feel like dylan crewes has a Mike trout swing and seems super fast on inside pitches. Really like that card...currently have him batting leadoff in the event

Continued my TA3 grind and finished-off the East map last night. I have to say, SDS really got the pacing of the TA "program" right here in Season 3; it has a MUCH better flow/pacing.

My "final" TA3 theme team roster is slowly beginning to congeal as I make progress through the program. I'll say one thing; these 97s with the full TA3 Captain boost are really dang good and I'm looking forward to getting the entire roster together to use for the Extreme content. I'm really going to focus on players with good quirks, so that has narrowed the field a fair bit. (As a side note, good lord is that Ludwick good)

While I really like the position players; I'm a tad worried if the starting pitching will hold-up; Strider's boosts aren't great (and I'm not a huge fan of most of the starters). The bullpen should be OK, especially once we get Wagner.

I did a bit of stat grinding today and got the Piazza HR and Cain innings missions done. All I need for Griffey now is 1800 pxp.

Agreed on pretty much all points, here. The TA3 pacing is so much more enjoyable than the previous ones, and the position players are pretty stacked. I'm also loving the Ludwick card, as well as Larry Doby. Only real issue is the lack of a SS better than Dansby Swanson's captain card, wish I could put one of the 97s in there to get more PXP for the bosses.

As for the pitchers, Dylan Bundy has been my favorite to use so far, plus Peavy, Gibson, and Strider himself. The bullpen is pretty great, my only complaint there is the need to get 500 PXP for some of the relievers to advance the program. That has pushed me into the Miniseason TA Grind for the first time, although Vs CPU games are still easily the best way to progress the SPs.

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

I'm enjoying the TA 3 grind as well. The last several months have been insane at work and play time has decreased significantly. The pacing indeed feels better and I feel like I'm actually accomplishing something. I did the East map with an all East team so far and worked on all the missions I could. Knocked out all the moments and showdown. Working on Mini Seasons right now and having fun. My timing is trash because of the inactivity so my hitting is making it some pretty close games which I'm not used to on All Star haha. I'll go from scoring 17 with an 11 run first inning to losing the next game 1-0.

But using all these cards is enjoyable. I'm around 65% in both AL and NL East and mostly working towards the collection as I want Olson with Ramirez and Carroll almost feeling like bonuses.

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

I bought elly, 510k

4 for 8 in the event, 2 sb, triple off the wall....im using him at 2b cause I use Jeter at ss and elly seems to get slow reactions. Hopefully once I get him to p2 he does better

I'm hitting like 450 with Dylan crews at hr every 4 ab or so... All on hof.

Acuna and jram not getting results with but feel like they're hitting good.

I'm 18-4 in the event and feell super locked in. Been warming up on legend with Fb speeds almost maxed, one notch from maxed.i normally warmup on Hof with the Fb sliders and using legend is getting my reactions so much quicker

2 cards from Carroll but since crews is so good Idk if I'll even use Carroll. I wanna give acuna a long try bc I usually suck with him

I’m doing terrible with JRam since I got him. I know it’s got to be my problem, but using him to grind extreme conquest and I’m hitting like .200 with him. I love everything about that card, especially the defense, so I’m going to stick with it. I’m also 2 cards from Carroll. I’ve done good with Carroll in BR but the general consensus is that his swing is kinda bad.

Dipped my toes in events for the first time today after at least two weeks of straight offline grinding. Hall of Fame felt so fast. Managed to go 2-2, but think I’m just going to try to get to 5 and get out.

Id recommend going into legend with fastball sliders turned all the way up I really think it helps.

I set it to throw inside fastballs for strikes. I use musial against randy until I get 5 good his in a row 100mph exit velo and then I do the same with kiner against Pedro

I don't bother with any other pitches... Just speeds me up with fastballs and I can recognize the off speed stuff when I go online

I’ll give that a try, thanks. I mainly play on all-star, and usually veteran for mindless offline stuff, but online BR you never see a ton of velo. First hall of fame game was the extreme conquest and i somehow won those games huge. I think if I lock in I can hit it.

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

I started and completed the BR program yesterday and today. I’m going to keep my pack unopened because I’m not sure who I want to pick yet. After I got that, I wanted to try Griffey out, so I went to play a RS game. And of course the guy I was playing brought in Donaldson out of the pen. I’m glad I already completed the program because this is just obnoxious. If they don’t fix this, I might skip the next RS, and that’s sad because that’s my favorite mode to play. If they can’t fix the stamina issue, they just need to take away the option of putting starters in mid-game.

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

The most fun I've had in a long time is playing Mini Seasons on Legend. I won 5 straight, then dropped 3 in a row, and then got back to winning and hit 10 wins. I'm in the home stretch for conquest so Extreme should be coming to a conclusion soon but I'm in now rush.

For Ranked, I'm sitting at 70 points, 18-2, and enjoying the stress of games that matter. When you're playing on HOF/Legend elsewhere, you can really sit back and be patient. Plus with those extra 6 innings, you can keep telling yourself you're in it even when you're playing badly. I've got a busy week coming up so I'm not sure if I can get to 100, but I'd like both Soto and Paige. Might actually buy both to try out and flip for a profit assuming they go up after the program goes away.

I'm not touching ranked bc of this

I need two more event wins to get glavine then I may just do co-op for a while

Haven't even touched extreme. I've only played 2 or 3 coop games all year and did enjoy them but the overload of content means I usually never have time to touch that to stay on pace with the rest of things.

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

i finally beat Xtreme Showdown and it took me about 6 tries and i hated what i had to do to beat it but it works so o well . i drafted fast guys and bunted and omg it worked well until Nolan Ryan i was tied with him with 1 out left man on 3rd and Little Lou up to bat and placed a perfect bunt up the 1st base line and only beat it out by a half a step , i was soooo stressed it wasnt going to work lol . then when i faced Randy i just sold out for fastballs after bunting with Louie and Brock had 2nd n 3rd and launched a bomb to with it with 97Ludwick i was soo happy lol .. im up to 85 points in the Xtreme program just need to grind some PXP missions and ill have Griffey as my CF for probably the rest of the year .

I'm so close to having my first P5 of the year and to my shock it is that 95 Dylan Carlson from the london series hes been amazing , i have tried to many different cards this year i didnt think i would get P5 but im sure ill get him and then i think Hammerin Hank is the next closest and i love his card so ill try to finish him up as well before set 4
