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

    I'm 31-9 in the event... My beastly hitting has calmed a little bit but I'm still winning most. Will Def get to 35 wins for skenes and might as well try 40 to get one of those free cards

    I bought vlad because I see everyone dominant with him but I'm only hitting like 2 for 10 with a hr or something. I feel late with his swing

    Buck oneil I'm 2 for 3 with a hr so maybe I should try harder. Wasn't doing too great with Stan so not really sure who I want at first the rest of the way

      34 wins but my hitting went from god like to garbage pretty quick

      I started practicing on legend and I think it sped my bat up too fast

        Apparently the new patch will fix the 2 way stamina issue.

          I’ve finished TA3 and extreme conquest. Didn’t know what to do since I don’t feel like doing the extreme mini seasons or events on hall of fame. Started a BR run and had a bad 97 draft round so I took Ohtani’s CP card. Thought maybe I could DH him if I’m not going to use him out of the pen. Pinch hit with him and the game literally wouldn’t allow me to swing or press any buttons until my opponent struck me out. I guess that’s something to be aware of. Cost me a game, but it’s not like I was trying to go flawless. I just need a break from the offline grind.

            Finished TA3, my first full completion of any TA. A lovely newbie milestone.

            Been using the content break (no Extreme for me) to complete the last Showdowns I never did - Mexico City and Charisma. Started grinding PXP for Mexico until we get new content today.

            Had some unexpected disruptions to my playing time come up, so doing lots of card flipping and some pack buying to have something to do via the app. Trying to buy up the BR cards from various series to round out my collection, since S3 card prices are still so high. Will start on those after S4 drops, most likely.

              My kontrolfreek was getting slippery and worn so I replaced with new and got my 40th event win, won 7-0 with 9 hits against a world series guy. Good way to come out of the slump.

              Its like my first 25 wins I was hitting like a beast. Wins 26-39 I sucked and was winning 1-0 types but terrible at bats. Think I was more tired than anything. This 40th win was my first game of the day so felt much fresher. Will end the event on that one.

                I jumped into ranked after events cause I had Donaldson and randy loaded up. Never even used Donaldson and the guy quit after the first inning...ditto with randy so I got two wins in about 3 mins but kind've sucks cause I wanted to use them.

                Decided to play one more before I gotta go to bed and of course I load into John Donaldson. My first time seeing him and I strike out 3x in a row. I ended up seeing over 50 pitches thru 3 inn and that guy quit after I put up 6 runs. Almost got micky to P5... Also homered with chipper and Wright

                I've determined crews gets kind've shirty jumps in left so I will prob replace him.

                Also after seeing Donaldson for 3 ip... I think he's impossible to hit if on higher difficulties and someone mixed it up well. I sat on the slider and two of three hrs were off the 4 seamer even tho I was sitting slider... Forkball and slurve seem insanely slow

                I'm 23-0 in ranked now so may take a break from that again for a while and do the monthly stuff for a few days.

I also use my Cardinals theme team alot with the Captain boost and i feel like we havent gotten many cards for them because we have sucked so it may be hard to take them into ranked anymore .

                    Id buy satchel paige, i think hes only like 130k last i checked. Skubal i think is underrated. I still use verlander but hes set 2 so wouldnt have him for long. He has outlier and the slower cutter and I THINK he has a pretty slow changeup as well.

                      i'm a little cautious about Paige ive seen him get hit hard in some of the videos ive seen but also they were on HOF and legend and ive only made it up to about 600 rating but i am going to try and push to reach 700 this year

                        Flash sale today but I'll be asleep for most it.

                        Went ahead and bought Paige for 158k so hopefully he doesn't drop a ton... Assuming the draft pack will be one so will buy skenes of he drops down alot.

                        I have 385k left so hopefully can get enough quick sell stuff to collect Adley sooner than later... Already have acuna

                          I got zilch from the flash sale... I bought skenes for 58k I think

                          Thought about buying vlad back even tho I sucked with him since he got down to 31k but I didn't. I feel like my squad is pretty stacked. None of the ranked cards I'll prob go after and I'm not spending like 600k on degrom to ultimately use him twice in ranked and prob get two early quits lol. I'll take the 58k skenes as an alternative.

                          I'm ready for the next br

                                I picked up ASG Will Smith and Milestone Musgrove during the Flash Sales. I was at 500k Stubs and willing to spend, but ultimately didn't stretch for anything. I love Sets and Seasons but even at this point in the year it has me hesitant to spend Stubs on cards when they rotate out eventually.

                                I've been finishing the stuff I was behind on. I'm close to being done with the July grind and just taking the Monthly squad into the Team Affinity 2 maps that I never finished. Don't really care about the progress there, just a quicker way to play without starting Mini Seasons runs. I did finish the TA 3 run with the East division squad and have I think 8 vouchers from that. NL East is done and a little more to go in the AL East. Not sure how I want to tackle that now. Probably just load up the same way I did I guess with as many mission cards as I can sprinkled in with the best cards I have from the divisions. I played every game, too, so it took a bit longer but I was trying to grind out as many vouchers as I could.

                                My hitting is terrible right now. I took an extended break so expected my timing to be off but I feel like offline All-Star pitch speeds just feel faster and it feels like pitches are breaking more, too. I'm sure it's just me but I've been legitimately fooled on pitches which makes it less "beat up the CPU fun" and more of a challenge. But still a bit discouraging.

                                I even switched my camera to Strike Zone Offset. It's reminiscent of the MVP Baseball days to a degree, but I also feel like I can see the ball coming out of the pitcher's hand much better. I think that plays into the perceived velocity a bit but I've been rocking that for a while. Not sure if I'd use it online, though, but certainly will try when I get around to online (if I do).
