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

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

I'm at 267 set 3 cards, not sure how close I am to diehgo or whatever his name is by time I'm done with Topps and moonshot stuff. I have 800k stubs but don't want to use a bulk of that to essentially by a bench bat with defensive versatility

I'm playing moonshot for all my time today, should be able to P5 mantle and think I'll keep him as my wildcard.

I still SUCK with vlad and everyone else is so good with him. I'm hitting like 115 and most my other hitters are between 350-430 (mostly all star games). I just don't know why I cant hit for him. Surprisbgly tho I'm doing pretty good with jram and I'm always terrible with his cards.

Think I may buy devers

I'm interested in set 4 but I feel like they've almost already given us everything

Who are yall using at Catcher? I can't hit with any of the Push tendency catchers so Adley is out. I liked Piazza and Bailey but still looking for a alt option. Schwarber was okay but I miss having the defense. Gary is great too but I keep him as a pinch hitter.

ASG Will Smith. As far as glitchy swings go, dude hits basically nothing but nukes for me every single year no matter the attributes

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

I'll have to give him a go. Adley was always my #1 but this year I can't hit with him at all.

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

Adley and elly are prob my best hitters... To most of my Adley use has been the moonshot event

I've never paid much attention to the push pull stuff, I did good with Mauer when I had him but we're about to lose him in Friday

I got mantle to p5... So I think I have Jeter, sosa, wbc trout, and now mantle... Don't think I have any Pitchers there

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

I am at 86 points in the BR program and will hopefully finish that before friday , i also finished the moonshot program during it so with that no sell Schwarber it was my 300 card to collect for Dhigo and not sure if i will use him but i might give him a try and just see how he is .. I believe im going to Wild Card Stan the Man hes almost P5 and just been one of my most consistent hitters and i finally P5ed Carlson so he is my first hitter to P5 this year and feels good its a Cardinal lol

Adley is great for me, because I tend to be late even on hittable fastballs anyway.

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

I need like 20 cards to lock in the 3rd set collection but it'll prob take 230k-300k to lock in draft picks and some of the bosses and cheaper asg cards.

I'm not rushing to finish moonshot program and I didn't do extreme (just have marte)

I have acuna and Adley so this would be for diehgo and I'm not running the j Rollins captain thing so don't think diehgo is worth that much to likely sit the bench or prob not even make God squad unless I do the j Rollins thing but his card is overpriced too

Now I'm thinking of selling off the rest of my set 3s that I don't plan to use tonight before prices drop tmrw and then take my pick of hopefully deflated prices. I assume we get a new chase card tmrw too?

I've already gone back and sold what's left of my set 2 guys aside from mantle.

At 848k right now so hoping for a crash tmrw

Season 4 ... yeah.

The boss pack is very good. Want Mookie. Maybe I want Nolan Ryan.

But the rest? TA had Adley, J-Ram, and Carroll (turns out his swing was awful), and Olsen. Just not seeing as much that I'm excited about this time around.

And come to think of it ... isn't Mookie a lock for Lightening??

I'm thankful that they're allowing me to play Starfield without grinding DD. Huge letdown across the board. Season 3 felt huge, Season 4 feels like the most underwhelming combination of content they could have cobbled together.

I feel pretty much the same. Sure, Trout looks amazing, but it took a while to get Elly. DeGrom is dropping, as the only plus.

Season 4 just confirms that their model is moving towards premium spending. Most of the best cards are packed out or collection cards and they dropped all the event and typical free cards down several tiers. It wouldn't be as bad if there was a decent rotation of captains and a reason to use them. When you can only play with your main team in Ranked, kinda makes that a wash.

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

My problem is outside of sp and rp my team is already stacked by set 3 and none of these new cards are really pushing anyone out.

I'm always good with Jimmy Foxx so I could platoon him at first with bellinger or Joc... Plus I'm not locked in at dh

I'm tempted to pay the 750k stubs for trout so I can have him all along cause I'm sitting at 950k right now..but I'll be grinding offline **** for a whole so I won't really need him anytime soon probably.

Betts looks great but jram, p5 Jeter, and elly are locking my infield down right now.

Adley was my best hitter in moonshot plus being switch plus defense.

I'm always good with story but man is his card bad for a ranked award. Wish they would've made it a rockies card

So yeah, I agree initially set 3 felt a little more engaging. I guess it's hard to keep topping high end 99s season after season

I always go back to the lack of real ways to play. It's Ranked or bust. If they had a Captain Clash playlist or theme team playlist or whatever it would be, these new rotations of cards would actually matter. Like the amount of cards pumped out are whatever when there's no reason to use them.

Love sets and seasons. I think they can improve it. I have zero interest in ANOTHER grind with low 90's cards to unlock 95 captains to unlock 97 bosses to unlock affinity collection cards that pale in comparison to the others. season 4 is a huge miss for me and highlights how stagnant DD really is when there's nothing to actually DO. it's just new cards every ten seconds

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

SDS lost me, the same old same grind for the same old same cards.. Finally had enough, I'm off to play some Franchise games for my fix.

I mean, I'm not sure really what they can do, maybe its just me finally having enough but seems like a lot of the creators have hit a wall as well.

Hey Gary Carter 99 looks sick, he will look great on my Mets theme team, oh wait can't use him because Gary Carter 95 Captain card has to be used for boosts. LOL.. See ya next year Ramone!
