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

    Finished TA C2 tonight. The key to grinding this one out offline was getting the SP bosses and getting to 10K in 9-inning games.

    I’m hoping this doesn’t drive SDS to make the repeatable goals harder to achieve next season. I’m looking forward to some “free play” with players I’ve earned until the next program drops next weekend. Might even go back to my RTTS player, without feeling like I’m falling behind.

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

      I got to play a couple of games yesterday and went into ranked with this squad and went 2-1 .. had alot of fun with them and hoping i get more time to play this week . I'm done with both Central divisions and West divisions in TA chapter 2 and im at 50% for both East Divisions. I'm hoping we get some more Cardinals cards for the theme team so i can use them in Ranked but i am enjoying this team for sure right now, with a good mix of speed and power.

      SS Witt Jr ( i had Aurilla here and i like him but bobbys speed plays better to me )
      LF Kwan
      DH 89 Stantaon
      3B 87 Muncy( just got Eddie Matthews so he will go here)
      C Gary Sanchez
      RF 93 Dominguez
      1B Sexson
      2B Mondesi
      CF Buxton Tier 3 boost but with the addition of Matthews itll go down to Tier 2

      Bench
      Napoli
      Addison Barger ( can play 2b and 3b and OF with the boost)
      93 Vaughn
      93 Druw Jones ( for a pinch runner and defense in the OF late in games)

      Starting P
      Randy
      Crochet
      Mick Abel
      Noah Schultz
      Tink Hence
      would probably slide in Dollander in somewhere here i really like his pitches

      Bullpen
      87 Daniel Hudson
      93 Kenley
      89 Iglesias
      89 Clase

      Lefties
      89 Wagner
      91 Franco
      89 Bummer
      87 Taylor Rogers team captain

        Is it even possible to get thru br without facing two flawless guys?

          Had some time for once and jumped into the Event. Earning TA progress this way versus grinding it directly makes the game quite a bit more enjoyable for me. I still need to hop into a BR and Ranked game to unlock the final two eggs to finally finish the egg hunt.

          Pulled Matt Shaw out of a free Show pack so gonna run him at 2B when I jump back into the event. The random MVP for me in the 11 or so games I've played is Willie McCovey from the egg program. Dude was blasting everything thrown to him - even lefty/lefty. I swapped him out to try some other cards but dude is hitting like .600. Can't hit with Acuna yet which is depressing.

            I’ve been playing events and dabbling in ranked with my Cubs theme team. I did end up picking up Alcantara and Horton. Alcantara is decent on the team, but not good without the boost. Don’t love him, but he’ll work until I get someone better and his defense is at least pretty good. Horton has been a mixed bag, but I think most of that was just playing events and not really pitching great myself. He’s a 99 with the theme team boost and I think I’ve only thrown one inning in ranked with him before my opponent dropped.

            I pulled Yordan a couple days ago to continue my decent run of pack luck. I haven’t pulled the trigger yet, but I think I’m going to sell him. He might be the best offensive card in the game right now, but I can’t use him on my squad because Schwarber has to DH. I’m also just thinking his price will eventually tank because he’s never been that expensive of a card. It’s really hard for me to just give up on live series, but those stubs could go towards someone like Happ who would be an insane addition to my squad.

              BR Program and Event Programs maxed out. Grinding mini seasons for packs until Friday when myself and a buddy start the co op ranked innings grind. Why Friday? Second drop for ranked to then double up innings missions.

              Been playing Franchise to kill some time because legit nothing to do. lol.

              Excited for the Mets conquest map and Diaz card today.

                I'm up to like 75 in BR and already hit the 12k pxp so 20k or whatever won't take too long.

                I'm almost got my 7 wins and lost to a guy that clearly sucked I just completely rushed thru and stress played.

                Last year I was getting the 9 or 10 wins every run (no flawless), the year or two before I did go flawless once. This year it seems like in br I either destroy my opponent or get destroyed.

                I'm also automatically flustered when I see a flawless banner and shields wood park...i hate these max elevation stadiums combined with the excessive foul balls and sliders, changeups and curves in the dirt.

                Even these flawless guys it's like if you get him to bite on a bad pitch where he should strikeout there are only so many other places to go... These guys aren't swinging at every bad pitch and hard to get them to do it on consecutive pitches.

                  I also seem to struggle with Acuna…at first. I gave up on using him in 23, but stuck with him this time around since he’s the only great live pull I’ve gotten. It took 10 games or so, but then it just clicked and I’ve been doing well with him. The Braves theme team to wrap up TA C2 was the final touch once I got the second set of captains. Just so many good Braves cards, and I pulled Albies and Olson beforehand.

                    Been playing a lot of the event today because I figured I’d wait until Friday before going back to ranked. I completely lost the ability to hit today. I think it just started to spiral and I started pressing, but I had no idea what I was doing at the plate and didn’t feel comfortable hitting with anyone. I think my whole teams batting average had to have dropped .100+ points. The low light was a 2-1 loss in the 5th inning, where I had 1 out, a guy on third and my opponent had Ohtani at the plate. I got him to chase and strike out when he attempted a bunt, but he sent the runner and my catcher dropped the ball and the run scored. Every game was competitive so it wasn’t like I got down big and could just bail, which made it worse. Pitched pretty well and got some TA2 progress so not a complete waste.

                    I’m at I think 13 wins which seems like is close enough to 20 to keep going, but for my own sanity I should probably stop.

                      Fernando-Mania or Braun? I just got the BR pack and I feel like it's a toss up - mainly because both probably won't be on my squad for very long.

                      Another crowd favorite in Big Dumper behind a pay wall. The length of time it takes to get the cards I want - Rollins, Walker, Brett - and these 6-figure dudes they're dangling is really starting to annoy me. I'm not going to drop all of my stubs that took me 40 days to earn on 1 card.

                        I haven’t ran into Fernando yet or really even heard anything about him, but Braun is very good. He’s extremely meta because he crushes lefties. I’ve been using him in LF and while his defense is bad, he’s still playable out there.

                        How’s everyone doing on the season XP path? I feel like I play a ton, and I just got Jim Palmer a couple days ago. I think they need to really fix it and start offering more xp in programs or nobody is getting boss packs. I would love to try that Billy Williams on my theme team since I’m short on lefties, but don’t know if I’ll even make it there before the season ends.

                          I'll get Fernando but I can't really pitch with him. I value defense too much and still running Buxton.

                          I'll prob use Fernando in events when appropriate against tough lefties but I wouldn't feel comfortable with him in ranked myself.

                          I feel like most 4 seamers get blasted much less if it's like 93mph

                          Same on paywall. I'm at like 115k and don't know about s1 collection or babe Ruth yet... I don't want to contribute to this paywall mess by buying cards off the market.

                          I was even looking at niko good rum... He's like 120k now for a recycled card. I was awesome with him before but I wouldn't pay 20k much less 120k

                            I just got Napoli and close to Palmer. I just don't have the time to grind anymore. The 4x cap and 2x earning will help me, but I'm so far behind it's actually wild considering I was at like 115k coming out of launch week before going back to work.

                            I bought two of the new captain packs. The Buxton/Braves build got a little worse after the roster update. Took Santana to mess with a switch build and most likely will take Ortiz for a 2000s build. But holding onto that one for a bit just to make sure that's what I want as there aren't a ton of available cards yet.

                              Disappointed that they stuck Lou Brock as a collection reward for 240 set 1 cards. Because I don't try and complete all Team Affinity programs I am currently at 60 cards 2/3rds of the way threugh the season.

                              In case you can't see it because it is so tiny my profile picture is me in the mid 70's wearing a red shirt that says Lou Lou Lou on it.

                                I always suck with carlos santana but a switch hitting captain is up my alley

                                I'm not sure how many switch hitters I even have at the moment but i wonder how a max santana boost team compares to a buxton boost team. Interesting that the captain pack is going for 40k and all the capt cards are going for 40k. I wonder if these will sky rocket in price like j roll and ripken did last year once they're removed from the store.

                                I only have 112k so don't really want to invest to find out
