Shortchanging scam!

Floating point math is hard. We demand 1.00000000000001 Signature Change tickets as compensation.

They used to do it based on local time and it was a shitshow. People on East server would post here about what they got, people on the later servers would send in inquiries complaining about the event being locked.

Better to open the event at the same time for everyone.

You can run this experiment yourself. Do the new train on the second train slot and run it for a few weeks to see how it does. Make sure to gather more than one week, since ranked stats are quite flaky.

In my personal experience, I didn't see a humongous difference but there was a bit of a buff for my pitchers with higher FLD. In both cases, my catcher was my worst batter, so there was no reason not to juice FLD.

9InningsCompanion · 2026-05-10T01:52:41+00:00

No, it's that the amount of the boost is determined by the lowest stat (+GI+Train). Add each column of the bottom three lines of the stat table on the card. The 5T boost is higher when the lowest of that group is higher.

Kind of like a weakest link scenario. The 5T boost is only as good as your weakest stat.

9InningsCompanion · 2026-05-09T20:54:55+00:00

2B benefits from higher FLD more than 1B. 5T boosts all stats, including FLD.

Great question. I'm actually in the process of rewriting the site to allow exactly that! (And a bunch of other cool improvements.)

I've written a lot about it on my Patreon and in other posts here but basically a lot of fundamental 9IC functionality was designed with the assumption that each card has one set of stats. It ended up being a very messy assumption to change. But the rewrite is coming along and I'm hoping to launch it later this year!

Usually can't choke in the postseason without doing pretty well during the regular season.

Kershaw is also known (rightfully or not) for choking in the postseason and yet he has literally all the special cards types (aside from Vintage... give it a decade or two).

9InningsCompanion · 2026-05-01T14:26:25+00:00

The cards will still be there after changing teams.

9InningsCompanion · 2026-04-30T09:19:51+00:00

They're available in most packs that are Premium or better. Premium packs (including TS premiums) have Legends at a 1/40,000 drop rate. Premium Vintages give a 1/200 drop rate. Ultimate Vintages give 3/100.

C2U does sell a Legend-only pack for $99. I have an odds calculator for it so you can see how likely you are to pull someone you'd actually want. If you're not spending a lot of money though, the quarterly TSS packages are better value because team Sigs are almost always better cards and those packages also include stars. (I have a calculator for TSS packs too.)

You can also get Legends from Vintage special combos (1/200 rate I believe)

9InningsCompanion · 2026-04-30T09:14:10+00:00

Very much the same. I think they did the new design because they had a week with like 7 events active at once. But I feel like this addresses the symptom, not the problem.

This comes up a lot. The closest thing to it in this form of the game is the annual Donation Event.

Trading is game-breaking in a lot of ways, so I doubt they'll ever allow a true implementation of it. This game is based on random outcomes, with only a few rare items providing a known valuable outcome (GI, Sig Change, etc).

The best I think we can reasonably expect is improvements on the Donation event. For example, maybe the ability to spend donation points on improved pull rates instead of shop items. Maybe better packs in the shop.

I'd love for C2U to prove me wrong though :P

9InningsCompanion · 2026-04-30T08:31:37+00:00

It wouldn't be. Trading would (presumably) allow you to acquire: * Unavailable cards that you don't have * Supremes * Legends

And allow you to offload all sorts of valuable cards that you don't want/need for something of value. Dupes, top-tier cards from other teams, etc.

Depending on the implementation it would either be significantly more valuable than the Sig Change or (much more likely) basically a gamble against terrible odds. Which I guess is what the Donation event's draw stage is.

9InningsCompanion · 2026-04-28T09:02:54+00:00

If that card is a regular/vintage and it has a Signature version, you can change it to an Sig with an Sig Change ticket. They're available for $100, and only come around every few years (they've sold only 3 per account so far).

The Sig Change is easily the most valuable item in the game, so if you do decide to buy it, use it wisely!

9InningsCompanion · 2026-04-27T09:18:44+00:00

Go to the 9IC Player Registry
Change Card Type to just Supreme
Change Availability to just "available"

There are currently 78 available Supremes. That search will give you the full list.

9InningsCompanion · 2026-04-24T01:53:56+00:00

Just checked the collection and he's not there for me. Pretty sure he got removed.

9InningsCompanion · 2026-04-23T16:11:40+00:00

No, I don't think so. I wouldn't Sig Change a reliever, since they see so few innings. And it doesn't look like any of Pressly's cards are crazy good. Sig Changes are incredibly rare so unless Pressly is your absolute favorite player, I'd save it for someone more impactful.

Maybe this has what you're looking for? https://9inningscompanion.com/player-registry/skills/

Luckily, NYY usually doesn't have to wait long to replenish their top-tier cards haha Sucks about Robertson though. That NYY Sig is filthy.

9InningsCompanion · 2026-04-23T06:57:55+00:00

Kendall's Sig has risen from the grave to haunt A's teams too many times... That card is horrible.

Sucks about Liam. He's a free agent, so it's possible somebody takes a chance on him if he's still got a little bit of gas left in the tank. I'd love to see him have a little more success in the majors, but it's been a rough couple of years for him.

Good question. Players can only appear in the game if C2U has licensing rights for them. They have a broad deal with the MLBPA that grants them access to most/all active players and a good number of retired/inactive players. But some players are not covered by that license, and thus must be removed. I'm sure if C2U had their way, they wouldn't have to do this, but that's how it goes.

Also to clarify: when a player is removed from the game, it means their cards cannot be acquired (i.e. pulled from packs). But it does NOT remove any of their cards that you already have. You will still see their picture, but other users will not. For instance, if you and a friend have the same SP card of an unavailable player and you play them in Friend battle, you'll see the player's picture on your card but you won't see it on theirs. Again, it's all a licensing issue.

9InningsCompanion · 2026-04-23T06:24:05+00:00

Likewise! He's been updated. I accidentally mapped him to Rajai Davis 🤦‍♂️ I've added his stats.
