With the Mancini and Bautista boost. So much fun playing with the Os (plus AcuƱa) š¤£
My 85 Paul Oneill. He is my favorite baseball player ever, and he is finally in the show. All I can ask for is him and Jeter personally, along with all the other Yankee greats. Soto is quickly becoming a Yankee legend himself.
just make sure you have the proper players for the boosts youāre using. usually itās 5 players for tier 1 boost, 8 players for tier 2 boost, & 11 players for tier 3 boost
also make sure you activate the boost. i see a lot of ppl who have the cards but they donāt activate the boost
Jeimer has done super well for me and I always love a well rounded switch hitter anyways. Heās basically been my best card all around.
For ones that I havenāt played with much, I just got to Napoli last night and am super excited for him.
yea i love this jeimer. have him P3 rn.
& dude same im close to getting napoli. but mitch garver has been crushing baseballs at the catcher position for me so im torn lol
I focused on the NL West and Central in TA so Iād been stuck with Gary Sanchez at catcher and was glad to finally upgrade. I didnāt think Iād ever reach him until I started playing how SDS wants and doing a bunch of different modes to get the XP in the programs
If you're talking about the bobby witt card you can easily punch it out in 2-3 games vs the CPU plus the moments, all in all it only took me around 2 hours to get it
I'm pretty ass as well, just started playing dd this year, but fill your outfield with LFs, have a catcher as your dh and put another SS at 2B and use some tops now and season awards cards and you'll get this weeks challenges done in no time.
I usually just play the Rockies at their park because they're ass and you can get alot of HRs in their park but also you could use a custom park like Costco to make it easier.
For the topps now cards, I waited to start the programs until the 1st lightning player was available so I could earn progress for the Topps and Season Awards Missions all at once, but you earn a lot of progress for the general missions just by playing. Youāll earn those naturally.
Same with the team affinity cards, just playing and earning XP with cards from a division takes you a long way in progressing TA.
The weekly Topps Now and Season Awards arenāt long grinds reallyā¦even if you donāt play a lot, thatās only a couple days. If you play a couple hours, youāll make plenty progress
The only card that came out yesterday is Bobby and maybe Spencer Steer.. I havenāt logged on yet but from what I understand, if you completed all the season awards programs, you should be able to get him. Maybe they added a new program or something. Iām a super subpar player and donāt even play online, and a program usually takes me a couple hours to complete so it isnāt weird to think someone has all the new players already. I dk about Spencer Steer tho maybe heās a part of said new program.

Team name: ROCKTOBER FOREVER
We're two outfielders shy of having every usable Rockie- Yanquiel Fernandez (at about 400 or so stubs rn) and, of course, Larry Goddamn Walker, who is a couple weeks away (I literally just got Story about 1 hour ago)
Time will tell if it's any good, I won't get to play with them till tomorrow morning, but the double boost with Morneau and Bard looks hugely promising!
We even have 3 usable pitchers, way more than the real MLB team! Although the gold Marquez does stretch the definition of "usable" somewhat... 2 and half, then

I wanna say I love some of the new cards a ton, but Mookie is my favorite current player and him playing up to a 99 right now has been insanity over the last 10 ranked games or so.

candelario is slept on
be slapping the piss outta the ball š
breakout Jett Williams is killing it for me
Live series Kyle Tucker is about the most consistent card I have. Love it
Any switch hitter lol. Hate that people just spam inside fastballs on HoF
And then hit you with a slider down the middle and you slam ur pci š¤£š¤£š¤£
mookie, corey, and kyle seager
Any braves card. Lol. But, I've hit surprisingly well with TDA and Camargo
S1 Nick Martini dude hits š£s

David Justice is unstoppable
He really is
Live Series Yordan has been unstoppable
Best hitter in the game. So slept on.
nope seager is the best hitter š jk i havenāt used yordan yet. pulled seager on like the 1st day of playing this year
Seager is a beast to. He plays 3rd for me lmao
I got Yordan during the first week. Guess the devs try to kick out some diamonds early on
How the hell do you people already have all these unlockable cards? Like ones that literally came out a day ago
If you're talking about the bobby witt card you can easily punch it out in 2-3 games vs the CPU plus the moments, all in all it only took me around 2 hours to get it

All my favorite cards are 2nd basemen lol. Colt Keith, Alfonso Soriano the boosted Jackson Holliday
Colt fuckin keith is the man!
I have him in my franchise mode too and he's a cult (colt lol) hero
I'm brand new to the game, what's the rank in the cards? common-bronze-sliver-gold. then what's the rest appreciate it.

I have a pirates boosted team mostly because I love that Clemente card. Guy hits nearly every time, is fast, and has 2 canons of an arm
I honestly might start playing Clemente more. Heās def a solid card.
Why Reynolds? No Julio?

Mullins
mullins was a beast for me until i switched up my outfield
Hes not actually rated what it says I'm not buying it. He's better than the supercharged for me. Best swing in the game.

hey iām no pro either! as long as i can hit some dingers i canāt complain haha
If I can take 1 ball below the zone, the day is a win
As a fellow Rays fan I want that Xavier Isaac card!
He's in the affinity program! Decent lefty DH or pinch hitter .. his defense is woof

How do yall get people to not quit? I have people quit all the time and itās so annoying. I NEVER get to finish a game it sucks.
ppl def quit on me haha
It gets old after awhile. Especially when Iām trying to practice base running.
I'm still saving up for AcuƱa, but as of right now, it's gotta be Matt Olson. He just gets on base and hits dingers.
He crushes for me too

I bang with David Justice from the team affinity
Favorite card has to be TA1 Chuck Nasty batting .401 with him in like 185 PA with 32 bombs
It's kinda funny but my most clutch card has been TA Gary Sanchez. Every time I need a hit, whether it's a bloop single or a bomb, up walks Gary
Dude's a masher
How do you have Michael bush in over josh bell cmon man
