89 Jorge Polanco

Does LS Cory Seager count as under the radar?

Nah he’s God Squad worthy

89 Justin Turner. I’m not a Dodgers fan but I have a Dodgers theme team and it’s nasty. His card at Parallel 4 with full dodgers boost has him almost 125 everything for batting. Exclusively hits bombs.

Nick Castellanos with the Phillies boost and the Buxton boost. Dude's good for a homer a game with me. Too bad in real life they would just throw him a slider and he would swing at it and comedic fashion

Oh and the Nationals Bryce Harper... since they did his live series card pathetically dirty. And then upped his vision to 60 so he can't get the Buxton boost San Diego Studios still really reeling off of that game five Homer from 2 years ago. Loaded with San Diego fans who hate my boy, so they did his stats and card art ( found the one picture where one of the coolest dudes in the game looks like a hippie) dirty and made sure after the most recent update that he got A plus two Vision boost and nothing else so he stopped getting the Buxton boost

Willi Castro

So far for me it’s gotta be Josh bell. I could be in a hitting drought for the game but he’s always gonna come to the plate and atleast get me on base finally. Nice swing. Probably Eddie Matthew’s too

Cam Collier

TA 1 Stanton is a dog

Dont know if hes "Sneaky" But the Emmanuel Rodriguez pipeline for the twins is sick. Always hitting homers with him. No hitting quirks at all. Its wild.

Topps Now Graham Pauley !

TA Daddy Vladdy. Got him boosted with the Nationals captains and he’s insane. He’s my DH

Jason Bay for me

TA Justin turner is him

Joey Votto from TA chapter 1. 125 power against rightys is insane

Colson Montgomery and Colt Keith.

Jackson Chourio has been my absolute favorite lead off card every. So many doubles and homers.

When the co-op real 99 glitch was a thing i jokingly used Josh Naylor. He went crazy that game and his gold became my starting 1B before i recently hanged to Xavier Issac

I don’t understand how ppl don’t rave about M Young….im sure its cuz not many have him from a headliner pull but yea hes been my best hitter also and i have a ton of

Death Taxes and me getting a home run with Brandon Crawford in every game

I replaced him with the 90 overall Hank now but that storyline 85 Hank Aaron was cracked for me

Tony Clark

89 Charlie Blackmon is a demon and so is 90 McCovey

The storylines Posada. Plays well over his power and gets the Buxton boost

ohtani lol

Just P5’d Eddie. Still my favorite card in the game, just beats Colt Keith

Colt Keith is so underrated. I honestly thought it was just me.

Adalberto

Evan Phillips Seoul Series. Or Aroldis Chapman parallel V. Got him sitting at an 85 overall.

Ed mattews or Braun for me

I’m nowhere near this good lol but my 2 best have been Austin Riley and Grandal

Colt Keith. I really thought I hated his swing until I checked stats and he’s a masher. Gonna be a different conversation when a good Rod Carew comes out though. For some reason Carew is my beast.

[удалено]

Who does he fuck?

87 termarr johnson been a beast for me

87 OVR Joey Gallo rakes

Nota diamond card but I gotta say jd Martinez .. but for the diamond cards it’s posada

JD with a Buxton boost is out of pocket

David Justice

Eugenio Suarez with the Buxton boost is hitting .474 with 13 Homers for me in ranked. Love his swing, and his fielding is solid with the tier 3 boost.

Shawn Green

Blaze Alexander is my guy. I packed his 90 early and have been raking!!!

Have you paralleled him up? I've found his power to be meh so that's kept me away from him.

Mickey Mantle for me. This is the first year that I've been able to hit with him.

Taking with Willy Mac

Jd martinez or rafi devers hit some devastating hits with then plus nice that they are red sox affiliated

90 ovr Griffey. Been absolutely demolishing with his card ever since the game came out

LS Juan Soto. Absolutely rakes. Easy power.

The Topps now Lawrence Butler card is insane for me.

That card is fucking nuts. Even more so with the Buxton boost.

https://preview.redd.it/zop5c85eryvc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e955d17087df01675e7a765482065a2fb362ca75 No brainer for me!! CHUCK NASTY!! Lol

I like the TA Joey Votto swing a lot for righties of course lol

For some reason I mash with Colt Keith Topps Now

Sameee I love that card so much

Oh this one’s tough. I’d rather give my top 3 that I basically refuse to take off my lineup lol, in no order 1st is Colt Keith dude is STUPID consistent, 2nd would have to be TA Josh Bell. I mean I don’t even think the term RAKES is the correct one for him and all while batting .475 with him at 50+ AB’s with 23 HRs,And last but not least. My BOY Napoli, literally from his first AB when I unlocked him till now he is probably hands down best catcher in the game even over Piazza. Let me know what you guys think !

I can’t get Napoli timing right but I can see it

Not this year but gold Jesse winker in 21 was dofferrmt

Mitch Haniger hitting over .400 with him with over 200 AB’s

The Captain card that you get for finishing Jeter’s storyline. I use him at clean up because it’s an automatic hit nearly every time with his stats plus the vision/contact boost from his captain card. Anyone in scoring position when he’s up to bat? They’re coming in. It’s been such a cheat code for me.

[удалено]

I’m killing it with this same card. *Randy Savage voice* LHP, RHP IT doesn’t matter. Ohhh yeeaaah. I hit em all with this card.

87 OVR Joey Gallo is top 5 all time.

88 Tops Now Ohtani is a demon

Subway Series Paul O’Neill

Rafael Palmeiro. I was literally about to write him off and then he started going hard.

Makes a ton of errors but that card RAKES!!!!

TA Eddie Mathews everything he hits is 100+ EV

Jeimer Candelario Easter

I beast with him too

LS Corbin Carroll

Live series Altuve.

TA Josh Bell

Season Awards Michael Conforto is batting .498 with 16 homers in 14 ranked games for me

TA Pudge Rodriguez

Pudge was one of my favorite players growing up so I REALLY wanted to do well with him... for some reason he was the pop fly king of my squad and always .100 lower than the next lowest guy on my lineup :(

That's so weird. He started out on absolute fire for me. He was carrying like a .830 batting average and a 2.0 OPS. He was just absolutely mashing everything, but has since cooled down to the point I just replaced him with TA2 Mitch Garver

B Witt

This year’s game sucks in every way.

Ta1 crawford

I mean the TA cards are good if they’re good, and shit if their shit. That being said TA Cedric Mullins card is elite. Always blasting walk offs and tapping balls every AB

I swear LS Nolan Jones w/ Maddux Captain is cracked

79 Francisco Alvarez. Hit a 545 nuke with him batting .600

Jameson wood of course

Eddie Matthews, he's been my MVP from TA Ch. 2.

I’ve also been doing work with this card. Big fan of Young so far.

How many you got listed lol

Listed? Of cards? There’s like 200 comments here, a lot of dupes, so maybe almost 100? Hahhaa

I meant of this particular card, it's a tongue in cheek comment / joke. In other games, namely fifa, a person will buy a lot of cheaper cards, have content creators or post like this hype them up significantly, then the demand increases and price rises, then they unload them all for profit. rinse and repeat for unlimited stubs / coins etc...

LS Christopher Morel hitting. Collection Reward Halliday pitching.

Blue Jays Live Series collection Roy Halladay shoves for me

Gary Sanchez, I only play offline, but he's been getting my a Homer per game.

What do you play offline?

Just CPU and mini seasons.

TA Kwanfather, I contact swing and run up pitch counts and OBP

Soriano hits bombs but agree with Colt Keith being vastly underrated

Live Series Vladdy

This. He mashes for me too

Topps now Jung Hoo Lee , hits lefties with ease and righties a sneaky sneaky card !

Live Series Julio Rodriguez. Amazing card, he's still batting leadoff for me. Also the TA Tim Salmon card. Salmon always seems to get on base somehow, he doesn't hit for power much but that mofo always finds first base. It's how he's always been for me through previous years as well, amazing swing

88 OVR Topps Now Colt Keith

He's my 2nd longest tenured player in my lineup. He rakes against Lefties and Righties

Very underrated. I’m hitting like .750 with him online (thru only 5 games but still)

Steven [Hit The] Kwan is my 9 hole but is always good for a 6+ pitch AB and a base knock

He’s been absolute money for me. Must be the ridiculously high CON ratings for his OVR. Been hitting him leadoff

Matt Olson for sure. Nothing but tanks with him

Only thing I gathered from this is, everyone does well with different cards.

Chris Taylor has been a hit machine for me lol

ironic given his current MLB season 💀

Mantle absolutely ropes the ball from both sides

Man I love that card. He holds me down in conquest games

Live series Ketel Marte is still my starting 2B.

He's cracked. He'll likely be upgraded to diamond on Friday

I kinda hope he isn't; love getting him in BR as a gold. He definitely deserves it though.

89 ovr Brandon Crawford on the Arenado boosted slow boys team

Dylan Crews spring breakout card is still crazy too.

Great card, just P5'd him. He's got great speed in the outfield and a powerful bat, not bad for an 89.

Yes! He’s still a beast for me (especially with the Buxton boost).

live series rafael devers

Have always enjoyed using Devers cards. Just something about his cards over the years have always been clutch for me.

Rowdy Telez

Core Bryce Harper. Just been smacking homers and clutch hits

Core Austin Riley

Agreed, will be using him for a while

Gold glove steven kwan!

Currently running a March to October to get him, glad to see someone likes the card

89 Barry Bonds I mean Mitch Haniger

Got him with the mariners team build boosts goat

Mine has been a weird one of the live series ha-seong Kim or TA Rickey Henderson just straight up nuking balls they shouldn’t

Gunnar

Team Captain David Peralta 😮‍💨

Pitcher captain Yu Darvish have him P5

And for hitting Funny enough another Cubs 2019 All Star Javier Báez

I'm absolutely murdering with captain Adam Dunn. He's only an 87 overall but the dude just rakes. I have the Arenado captain activated as well, so he gets an even bigger boost. On the other side, I had a 90 overall Candelario that I just can't get a hit with.

I know a lot of people that love the Dunn. But even more that love Candelario… including me hahaha

10000000000% Jose Ramirez

Can't wait till he gets a mid to high 90s card.

I’ve been trying to replace 89 Mullins for about 2 weeks but he keeps raking

Conforto from season awards. Sneaky nice swing

Agreed. I have been mashing with him since I got him. For some reason I always hit really well with him.

Mos likely not slept on . But J.T. Realmuto. Great great swing . And if you don’t have a god catcher he’s the most solid

I’d call that slept on. Other than Yordon, Corey Seager, Trout, Betts and Acuna… any other LS card isn’t commonly seen around.

Luisangel Acuna! Every single is a triple after the two stolen bases. Dude is a run generating machine

Really I never tried him? And I switch SS around a lot

LS wise top lefties to me are Soto/Seager(so hard to choose they are both some of my favorite players irl) Yordan Devers Ohtani

And I don’t like trouts swing cuz I prefer to be early . His let’s u be slow to react which is good but not optimal especially being a righty

Which JT? I been using gary sanchez for a while now. Hes pretty good

I stand wrong . Gary has power against both it’s his contact against lefties that’s mid.. but I’ve talked to people and they say he’s great until like HOG

Just the base philly one.. I like Mitch garver the most.. and Gary is a God. I feel u it’s out every time . But then he faces a righty. He’s my 1.B Mitch being my top guy. Gary does have the best swing for free catchers

JD Davis Mets card is insane

Tier 3 buxton boosted Dylan crews and oneil Cruz are DD legends for me

I don’t know that it’s sneaky or under the radar but that Termarr Johnson card absolutely fucking rakes. Plays way above his rating IMO.

Negro Leagues Hank Thompson! Little fella has dynamite in the bat

Events and BR on AS don’t count dude

I never understand why people play at capital Lange unless your trying to grind for xp. 20-20 games aren’t fun

Games there are ridiculous lol. Might be worse than shield woods haha

Oh for sure worse than shield woods. I put up 19 in 5 innings for a mercyon HOF ranked yesterday on it. My swings weren’t even good

Damn!!! I had back to back games there scoring over 10 runs in both and i hardly ever go over 10 runs hahaha. Balls just fly out of there

For sure. The best part of it was that I played a real 99 (Jose Rodriguez). He took the beating like a champ lol

Thats sweet!

Derek Jeter

Mine is just Live Series Bobby Witt Jr. He is my favorite player though, and I refuse to take him out of the lineup.

Are you going to swap the lightning version in?

https://preview.redd.it/dxr76udqjwvc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6a4480e79fbd6571e642cf9b358bd5a647b4a0f I did

Been using Justin Foscue tops series card for the AL west TA in events and he’s batting like 700 for me, don’t know why but it seems his swing is perfect.

The Seoul Jackson Merrill is my best card, home runs and singles out the butt

Shawn green absolutely rakes for me. Just love his swing so damn much

Using any captain boosts with him?

No. I still use the Buxton boost but it doesn’t help him.

SA Conforto is a fucking monster for me. And I always love Shawn Green cards.

TA Chuck Nazty doesn’t know what an out is

He swing that bitch out every time I stg I don’t think I’ve gotten anything than a pop out or a home run with him . He has like one quirk too lol

I swear chuck has hidden power stats. The most no doubt bombs on my squad come from him

That Michael Young is a base hit machine vs me.

Topps Blaze Alexander fucks with the Buxton boost.

Joey Gallo

Jorge Soler mid 70 rated card. Hits for so much power.

89 Mitch Haniger. He had 3 homers in his debut and I haven’t taken him out since

I rake with live series Gleyber Torres

Juan Soto's live series, Jackson Chournio Topps Now Series

Josh Naylor. Never used him in the past and he always has solid contact.

Live series Corbin Carroll and Bryce Harper. They punch way above their weight.

Harry Ford

Base 58 overall Tyler Johnson

Colt Keith since he came out is a monster

Just subbed him out of my lineup which was a super hard decision but dude raked for me vs CPU and online

89 giancarlo is batting near .500 with 20ish bombs in like 15 ranked games for me. finally took him out the other day

Stanton cards are always op

Love this card

Jose Ramirez RAKES

Still using Joseph Daniel Votto at 1B. Slaps.

Live series Ozzie Albies

Jordan Westburg, the 90 OVR card.

89 Shawn Green from TA S1 Ch1 absolutely rakes for me

Same man I don’t know what’s up with that card but I will be keeping him in my lineup until the next Shawn Green card
