    Reasons for … to be done. Costs are going up. Huge lineup advantage to start season 2.



    Reasons against … 0 stubs. A flash sale will be coming soon. I’m almost ready for my first wheel spin which could give me a 90+. Won’t need these cards until next Friday.
    How badly do you want Babe? Pedro is fine but not worth going out of your way for. Palmeiro is mid. The whole allure of having those cards all year as seasons refresh is an illusion in my opinion.

    I've enjoyed captains so much I haven't even used Ruth.

    I think Stubs are better spent elsewhere this year. Then again, unless you're spending Stubs up through the middle of each season it won't matter.

    The caveat is the core collection that will eventually drop. It might be worth getting the live series done just for that

      The Core Collection is an excellent point that I keep forgetting. I need to go back and clean up those core cards from the online-only modes to be ready.


      EDIT - Ok, I feel a little bit stupid now. The only core cards I'm missing are team captains or Live Free Agents. Forgot that every BR card is season-specific this year. Nevermind!

        Pulled the trigger. 23K stubs but I’m done. Short of playing a few event games for the XP and a token wheel spin, I’m more than all set with the Everest climb they called season 1.


        Aaaand, flash sales!! Ah well …

          I screwed up this flash sale so badly.

          Got excited about being on vacation instead of at work when the update came out at 3 Eastern. Started buying cards from the new packs…which then had flash packs come out in the subsequent hours. I bought 45 minutes too early, lost tens of thousands of stubs as a result.

          Good thing I already completed the live series collection, or I might have really hurt myself today. Live and learn.

            Haven't played since Monday...i kind've feel like nothing to do and no point until season 2....

            happy i guess that gehrig is a core, kind've wish they gave him a 95 to serve as a alternative to palmeiro but its fine...I just kind've want a gehrig that is the top card for a period of time

            I feel like this flash sale and another double xp weekend or whatever is all well and good but it feels like too little too late for these past couple weeks. I get some people were really far behind and it's good for them....but they literally just gave us like all the cards last weekend.

            So it's like these last two weeks where if my hockey team was down 6-0 and they finally scored a goal in the last two minutes to make it 6-1....it's like okay? Ready for the next game now.

              I went back to Diablo (leveled to 100 in 3 days lol) because of just how boring things have become with MLB and DD. I've had everything done that can be done and no reason to even play. Almost time for full time Franchise mode for me and see this DD mode next year.

              If things are even easier in season 2, bore fest incoming. UGH.

                Re: What Are You Working On? (MLB The Show 24 Edition)

                Well i play some over the weekend and got to the packs in both Ranked and Br .. I took Arrietta but sold him and also bought Posada and Ozuna to try out and then sold them as well to buy Ohtani and Freeman so now i am just Mookie away from Babe..

                I also got 2 crazy good spins .. i got a Chase pack and pulled Adley and then sold him which finished the Braves and then hit a 90+ diamond and pulled Acuna after just buying him lol so sold him and that helped towards Ohtani and Freeman .. might not play much this week but i did get to my highest rating in ranked ever at 676 and then the kid woke up so couldnt push for 700 but gives me something to strive for in season 2. The team i was using went like this

                SS Rollins
                RF Walker
                DH Ozuna

                  Very similar lineup ... I have Babe at DH, who you'll have soon. Posada for the price is tough to beat, too.

                  I got to Babe almost the same as you. Pulled a 100k+ stub card (Marte) and Acuńa, and that was my catapult. I love when guys who grind the right way (I'll put the two of us in that category) get rewarded with the cards they need to make it worth it.

                    Re: What Are You Working On? (MLB The Show 24 Edition)

                    I'm curious about whether to buy anyone for season 2...lile posada or goodrum. Depending on switch hitters I'll prob wild card Santana and then maybe j roll, ketel (haven't used), and one more... I've sucked so far with Escobar and profar/jdom/Roberts are fine

                    Alternatively with no switch I may go Brett, honus, mays, and ???

                    Seems like posada could fit either scenario. I'd really like Adley but I don't 100k want Adley

                    Currently have 151k stubs plus maybe 200 bronze cards to sell

                      I bought Posada this week. My thinking was his price is very reasonable and he might be my first wildcard choice. It will likely be a while until we get that level of a bat at catcher in season 2 and he’s elite even without a switch boost. Santana I guess is similar even if you’re not going to wildcard him for the captain boost. I also picked up Happ since I still want to have a Cubs theme team next season and he’s irreplaceable. The only season 1 Cubs cards I don’t have are Bryant and Arrieta. I might pick Bryant up since I could see him being a wildcard. Arrieta just got released too late and I’ll never use him.

                      In the past week or so I got all the season xp bosses and managed to get all 3 collection rewards with just packs and stuff they gave me. I guess it’s cool that I was actually able to finish it, but still seems dumb I didn’t get any of these cards before the season was basically over. Really hoping they revamp it for season 2. Only thing I have left to do is a couple divisions of TA3. Really hated TA3. Felt like progress was much slower and I had to go out of my way to try and complete objectives instead of just playing the game normally which is how TA1 and TA2 went for me.

                        i appreciate that man .. and i feel the same way .. so after selling some of the BR rewards that i wasnt going to collect i was up to about 60k and stumbled across the 90 Sexson card and didnt realize he was going for almost 30 something k... so i sold him even tho i had him P4 but with that Raffy P from the live series collection i didnt need him and bought Mookie so now i have Babe and right before season 2 feels good.

                        I also decided to play one ranked game after work yesterday with mostly the supercharged NGL players and won the game 3-1 and hit a 702 rating my highest ever. I feel really good about it and will now try and top it next season .

                          Wasn't SDS's goal with captains etc. to get everyone away from the "Meta" lineups? So we would see different lineups and what not? Nothing has changed, same lineups, even if it's not switch hitter meta, same cards, same lineups. Boring!

                          That's one of the main things they need to figure out is how to get people to use a variety of lineups so that every game isn't versus the same teams over and over.

                            That'll be the interesting thing going into S2. The announced Cornerstone Captains are interesting players, but depending their boosts I can see plenty of people using S1 Captains as their WC.

                            Finished the Gehrig and last Season Awards program. Finally got my first Boss pack. Played a couple BR games and got enough cards to grab the second collection choice pack.

                            End of the season and I still don't have all the free program cards because of the XP cap/lack of programs. It blows my mind they haven't instituted double xp for the rest of the season.

                              We're just paying it forward, I guess. Pulled Judge today out of the Jumbo pack in getting Fry, and then nabbed Moncada on a wheel spin. That was about 125K in stubs, so I'm back to 170K.

                              I'm not sure if this strategy will work, but I stopped progressing in the Gehrig program when I saw the back to back 20K XP. Hoping I can save that for Friday and really jumpstart Season 2. If I'm wrong, I only lose a wheel spin or two. If I'm right, I've got about 50K XP coming to me for a handful of hits from my first baseman and 4 moments from the Iron Horse himself. I just have to remember to bench all primary 1B for the next 2.5 days, haha!

If I'm right, I've got about 50K XP coming to me for a handful of hits from my first baseman and 4 moments from the Iron Horse himself. I just have to remember to bench all primary 1B for the next 2.5 days, haha!
                                Gomes posted a video yesterday that sds said somewhere that xp will be reduced from 20k but they didn't say to what... But yeah I haven't gotten squat from the spin. Prob best to save all the xp u can if it's gonna be another snail pace
