I'm quite addicted to it myself though I've been trying to build my card team and save up money for a pack.

I'm one RF short of a lineup and and five pitchers short of a full team.

Yeah I've got about 8 middle infielders, and no outfielders. I also finally got my first platinum card. Regretably, it's Chris Ianetta.

well I am loving it myself I have had 4 wild cards one was chone figgins, another one was a full pack with vlad guerrero and 2 that havent been redeemed yet. I have 21 cards at the present my most satisfying was probably unlocking carl crawford with 2 hits, 2 steals and 2 runs in the same game.

I got my first Platinum card last night. It was Jack Cust after hitting a HR with him. I've gotten a couple of wild cards from turning a double play and hitting a home run, but I'm still waiting for a wild card that turns into a pack of cards!!! At least one my wild cards was Vlad Guerrero!! I can't wait to field a whole team that I can take online.

Sorry this just isn't true. The historic players are going to be made available in future downloadable content. So far only Series #2 which is the traded players is available.

How do I know if my sliders are affecting my ability to earn cards? Anyone know?

Custom sliders are analyzed and given a R, P, A, or L rating for Rookie, Pro, All-Star, and Legend (respectively). This is used for card challenges and achievements.

I've heard reports that wild cards aren't awarded in custom difficulties, but I haven't verified this myself. But, even if this is the case normal cards and challenges are awarded.
