[QUOTE=CC_123;17457390]This might be the first event I actually grind for the 25 wins. And Im not saying just this year, I am saying ever. I have never cared to do the events, they get too sweaty typically[/QUOTE]

I was thinking this same thing. I hate events but 25 doesn't sound bad

[QUOTE=TanksCards;17458115]I was thinking this same thing. I hate events but 25 doesn't sound bad[/QUOTE]

I dig events when the awards are good. The only decent award before the current event was the first with Miggy. I have skipped all the ones since.

The current event is pretty easy, as it seems to be a ton of noobs playing, at least so far. My #1 tip would be to stack your bullpen with top golds and silvers and just run (start) your pitchers out of there mostly. RPs seem to spend about the same amount of energy as starters in events, and they recovery fully after one off-day. On top of that RPs with the same overall rating as a SP usually always have better H/9 and K/9 and they usually have better stuff too.

Currently I'm running these in the event:

78 Gagne
79 Trevor May
82 Luis Gil
79 Sale
83 Shane Greene
83 Diekman
79 Chapman
84 Dibble

I have used all of them extensively in BR and Dibble is actually the only guy near a 3 ERA. Most are well under 2.00. 83 Diekman is ridiculous... I get lit up with his LS but have a 0.00 online with the 83 over 9 appearances. Would also say 79 Chapman is 95% as deadly as his LS. I lean heavy on the slider with him with near everyone guessing fire. I have even started throning high changups (somewhat) with him on purpose lol...

Solid tips. This event has been somewhat fun lol. Lots of inside the parkers which is cool, but playing at the same place over and over gets boring.

Are they dropping 4th inning today? I saw the new headliner (96 Dwight evans...meh) is dropping today and the stream is today

Yep on the 4th inning afaik. 99 Wander to be a choice. I predict he's going to be this years Larry as far as staying power

L on this headliner. Can't all be winners though. Past few have had some great ones. Rolling with SS Carlos Santana for a bit. His swing is money and they juiced his defense HUGE. He sucks at C irl but blocks everything in-game and throws out 90%+ of attempted steals for me.

Also would have gone for Rizz but did the AL the other day and rolling with Papi, even though he's a guy I don't really hit well with in-game but just gotta stick with him lol

Jasson locked and loaded with the other current gawds + Dee Strange:

Have completely lost the ball over the past day or so, but my pitching carried me, along with probably only facing 5 really solid opponents in the entire run

The 25 point Daily Moments Pablo Sandoval reward looks jacked.

I barely got to 25 this past month for Britton but finally set a daily reminder on my phone and grinded it out in the last week. Definitely hoping I can keep it going for this one.

Too bad no C secondary but I think I think I might be able to fit him in somewhere even with Chipper and Papi already rostered

New bosses are

99 Wander Franco
99 Eddie Murray
99 Christy Mathewson

Going in I was convinced I was taking Franco but I might take Eddie. Switch hitting 1B with 100+ every hitting stat is insane. I’ll probably end up buying both

Also if you grind the 4th inning fully you get a 90+ LS at the end. I’m 100% grinding this program fully. I need 3 90+ for Chipper with Trout/DeGrom/Acuna so I should be able to get one of them if I get the pack

Also 42 series pack at 145K XP. Should drop those prices considerably to finish up Jackie

May do the same with Eddie. I have always hit well with him and hitting stats look very, very solid. Amazing really. Not as high as Papi or as cool of a player for me, but I would bet I hit 20-30% better with him

Going to have to try the Wander at some point though

Kind of an L on the Mathewson as far as community reaction I'm betting (haven't looked), but I will be trying him at some point too. Love a screwball and tunneling it with FB. Unfortunate all the old pitchers have long-ass windups and relatively pedestrian H/9

As far as the 90+ choice pack, pretty cool. Thinking it will cut the market rate for Trout by half in around 20 days. Kind of wish I didn't already do the collections but oh well. I made all my stubs from flipping on theshow.com website, and have over 800k even now

After thinking about it for a bit and playing a conquest game with Jasson, I ended up selling him for just under 125k. Very cool and solid card but felt pretty easy to get and seeing very fast sales velocity on theshow.com marketplace.

Thinking he will drop to around 50K in a few days but will see. Will buy him back if so, but if not, Lord Byron is a card I mash with and have fun + not far from the super

I thought Mathewson was a L as well but if you look at his control, it’s 99 control for 2 pitches, a 97, 94 and 92. Just insane control. He’s someone that with these stats, if you’re good with pinpoint he’s a pinpoint goon. Basically you’ll be able to paint every corner with his stuff

It very much seems like

Shiny new object for people to enjoy - Wander
Insane card a lot of the experienced community will enjoy - Eddie
The studs/guys who play in WS and on legend will love - Christy

Also packs are 50% off through the 6th

Anyone buying these? They have appeared so watered down this season and near impossible to hit diamonds. It is fun seeing everyone who pulls Trout rubbing it in for those of us who haven't.

I have gotten 4 Salvador Perez cards , 3 Logan Gilbert. Collation has been just as bad as the odds in my opinion.

78s are cheap again to make gold player packs

Just unlocked 96 Dominguez. That will be enough events for awhile lolol

New collections for rtts perks 42 of type gets diamond ballplayer pack

I ripped a 50 bundle, 1 diamond. Right on odds.

Odds are the exact same, probably just sample size

Haven't been playing very much lately, just enough to get the inning bosses and monthly players from the daily missions. Only big live series guy I've pulled from a pack was Acuna, but I just bought Cole yesterday so the only guy left for me to get is Trout. Sitting at only 30,000 stubs, so now starting the saving up until I can grab him!

Good news is they are all dropping pretty nicely with the pack sale..

I know most people hate it, but if you can stomach the US conquest...considering you get all 5 prospects in every pack now and can sell...that's roughly 70k+ stubs every time you finish..

Least that's been my go to

Yeah I consider myself more of an offline grinder for the first half of the season before I really start playing online modes since I'm a NMS player and like to build up my roster. I've already completed the US map 2x, and the last time I completed it the final stronghold that I took gave me the pack with all 5 prospects, which was a nice surprise since I had no idea they had made that change.

Up to 17 wins in the current event, plan is to grind for 30 wins to get Jasson and Space 1 and 2.

Prices dropping on the big LS guns is nice. Sitting around 100K, need to snag either DeGrom or Acuna before this pack sale is over and their prices creep back up.

Team affinity stage 3 coming July 12th. Will be all star based, every team gets an all star card. Probably in the 96-98 range depending on the player and team

Gonna be some monsters there.
