    This program just keeps getting worse …

    Mookie had one of the best months in MLB history. I don’t want Julio. I certainly don’t want that Sosa. And I’m thinking the Show has peaked this year and is now clearly in decline.

      Its all mookie, Foxx, kluber fodder.

      Mcgwire looks good and his cards swing is better than a's.... But lots of work.

      If I remember jrod doesn't really have jaw dropping power and with exception of some relievers none of the monthly cards are really usable online.

      The Sosa card is nowhere near as good as the core card we got on day 1

      So my God squad at this second.... Would be no better at all except for maybe bullpen depth if I do both of these programs and grind out events. Jrod is not better than what I already have. Big Mac prob isn't much better than bellinger who I've been using at first or hrd vlad who I sometimes platoon there.

      For all that work we should very more than like 3 usable cards
      Or make diamond duos core and let us get a guaranteed pick of one of those diamonds in the program somewhere

          This is the McGwire card I’ve been waiting for all year, hopefully I can hit well with him. I was close to a million stubs so I bought the new Kerry Wood since I pitched so well with his event card, so far he hasn’t disappointed when I’ve used him in the event. That Kendall card is sneaky good too, if he had better defensive attributes, I’d consider replacing Rutschman on my main team with him.

            I find myself playing for 4 or 5 hours Monday, none on the weekends or tues/Thurs and then abiut an hour on Wed and fri

            Making progress come pretty slow. 20% done with all ta, haven't started on 98, current Topps, or monthly program.

            I'm tempted to try to get as many event wins as I can do I can sell smoltz for 150k stubs or so

            I thought 99s day one was cool but we're at a stage where nothing really inproves my team so I'm not carving out extra time to play/grind. I usually keep my br rewards but not having the ability to sell them I just casually get thru br when I get to it.

            What I SHOULD do is go into ranked and just practice and play as many games as I can to get better because that's really the most logical use of time since I'm not really improving my team anymore with current awards. But ranked is just so sweaty stressful vs br and events. Even when I'm winning in ranked im nervous lol... Br and events I'm trying but usually don't care the outcome.

            I only play this game, I don't even own another one so is what it is but yeah not really sure the direction. Lots and lots and lots and lots of moments if I want to conlmplete the current stuff. Even Topps now is like 11 moments 😭

              Race of 98 is a ton of moments too. Not unpleasant ones, but it’s time-consuming.

                That McGwire card is nasty. It still baffles me that the AL collection was the A's version, but that was all to get Jeter as the MLB for $$$. Which makes sense business wise, but continuity wise strange.

                Can't complain about Big Mac being a free card, either. I wanted to add Stanton from the program as my DH but can't pass up this card.

                Whole program is pure nostalgia for me so I'll get some extra enjoyment from this one. Having said that:

                LOL at that Sosa. The collection MVP card is the card from literally the same year. I hate when they do this stuff lol

                  Because of the nostalgia I bought the 3 Race packs. Base round in each. Absolutely idiotic to even bother lmao

                  Still bought Wood anyway. Drained my entire stub balance for nostalgia

                  They got me

                        about to do the same. sold Smoltz at 184K and got to the 30 wins for Cedric. still need to grind for Zack, but the motivation continues to ween.

                          Well i finished TA just by doing team builds and a mini seasons run and im kinda burnt out with nothing big coming up and the same ole same ole programs . I have been using an all Cards team for Ranked whenever i get time to play full games and thats been fun but its definitely lacking this year. so i decided to mess around with what i guess would be my God squad and i think its pretty solid might make some changes but i like it so far. It lines up like this

                          RF Acuna
                          DH 99Blackmon
                          1B 99 Mcgwire the new one
                          3B 99 Devers ( could switch this one around)
                          LF 99 Stanton (might change this one also havent figured his swing out yet)
                          2B 99 J-Ram
                          SS 99 Mookie
                          C 99 Adley
                          CF 99 lightining J-Rod

                          bench
                          99 Jackie
                          99 Ketel
                          99 Brandon Crawford
                          99 Wyatt Langford ( probably replace Stanton soon )

                          rotation
                          99 Nolan Ryan
                          99 Dustin May
                          99 New Kershaw
                          99 Mulder
                          99 Skenes
                          ( i already have John D to P5 so wanting to try more ppl out)

                          bullpen
                          99 Helsley
                          97 Hentges ( needed another lefty)
                          97 Hoffman
                          97 Mo
                          95 Jo Jo romero ( noone uses him i dont see and his release can be funky)
                          99 Franco
                          99 Billy Wagner
                          99 Trevor Rosenthal

                            Do you have a Wild Card in there Sam? At first blush, I don't see one in the mix...so there might be an avenue to upgrade.
                            Play the games you love, not the games you want to love.

                              no i dont but if i did use a wild card it would probably be Stan the Man i always hit so good with him and he would probably go into either DH or 1B and put Big Mac at DH ..

                                That could work, I'm guessing Blackmon could handle LF and solve that dilemma too (I hear ya on Stanton's swing - I always struggle with taller guys like him).
                                Play the games you love, not the games you want to love.
