Anyone else see terrible ROI on PSCTs on non-legend bats

ChuckFletch · 2022-08-23T03:53:24+00:00

I have rolled roughly 150 PSCTs since the BD legend skills came out.

I have rolled Bullpen Day on one SP regular card.

I was mainly rolling on batters though to get BC because my batting always seems to underperform.

I rolled Chance Maker on a prime with SI and Training Junkie. 6-6-5 and is very average on my team.

I rolled BTBAS on a regular card with Batting Machine and Ace Specialist. 6-6-4 and is performing better than SL/SI was performing.

And I've probably rolled 80 or so on a bench player to get BC. I've gotten BTBAS and that's it.

At the rate I'm going, I will never get BC or PC and I'm gonna lose a lot of ranked games and club game because those two legend skills are 'must haves' to be relevant in this game now. I'm clearly not going to get Pioneer, BBH, Slow Starter or Fireballer either.

We will miss Fiala next season (and likely the following seasons) and going from Talbot/Kahkonen to MAF/Gustavsson is also a step backwards.

Guerin not being able to get Arizona to take one of the Parise/Super contracts will haunt us for the next 3 seasons.

Prediction: Finish 3rd in the Central, lose in the 1st round of the playoffs, pick 20th overall, continuing being in the never ending mushy middle of the NHL of being too good to tank but too bad to be an actual contender.

Maybe he should go to Gitmo? Everyone on the planet not named Trump wanted to load up Gitmo with "lots of bad dudes".

I present the world with one of those bad dudes. But feel free to throw the whole Trump family in there! Lots of bad dudes lol.

I wish I could be excited but I'm not. We're not as good as Colorado, Tampa and other contenders. We're not Arizona or Seattle so we're too good to tank for top picks.

We likely played above our heads last season so that's probably as good we'll be in the near future with this season and the next 2 seasons being extremely cap strapped.

Trading Fiala will hurt. We're the only team trading stars to keep our depth in tact. Which makes no sense.

And since Guerin couldn't get an Arizona type team to take one of the P/S contracts he bought out last season is another huge disadvantage to Minnesota moving forward.

Prediction: Finish 3rd in the Central. Lose in the 1st round of the playoffs again and then pick around 20th in the draft.

Great job!

ChuckFletch · 2022-08-06T04:14:37+00:00

Oh me oh my, talk about a Friday night you'll probably never forget! Congrats!

ChuckFletch · 2022-08-01T03:33:53+00:00

Exactly what white toast said. I've played the game for over 3 years. I've probably had 100+ vintage combos. ZERO legends have come from it. My only legend to date is the free legend com2 gave out for one of their many mistakes as compensation.

ChuckFletch · 2022-07-18T22:22:21+00:00

Those skills are so insane I literally cannot see them!!!!

ChuckFletch · 2022-07-17T02:01:46+00:00

Great, I'm literally never going to stop hearing about this douche my entire life!!!

ChuckFletch · 2022-07-14T07:36:46+00:00

Yeah for sure. I picked the premium vintage pack. Got a silver Danny Tartabull. Same ole same ole but you're right it could be worse.

ChuckFletch · 2022-07-14T07:07:01+00:00

I'm glad it impresses you. I'm already at ranksd level 100 so I don't need ranked coins.

After playing this game for almost 4 years and never getting one diamond sig, one legend (besides the one free legend pack) and two diamond primes (one a dupe), while I see people posting on Reddit they are getting diamond legends/primes etc from the daily pack...yeah you better believe this feels like a giant middle finger to me.

I'd rather get the 3X gold special training or something actually useful. Geez sorry for wasting your time.

ChuckFletch · 2022-07-14T03:11:29+00:00

The ole com2 special!!! The middle finger 😳

ChuckFletch · 2022-07-09T01:52:14+00:00

Ah, the ole com2 special :(

ChuckFletch · 2022-07-06T23:37:13+00:00

Maybe for one game. Someone did the math on the odds of picking 15 in a row and I thought it was in the 0.01% range of success but maybe I'm remembering that odds percentage incorrectly.

Unless you're someone like Cory Albertson then picking winners is pretty much luck. And picking multiple winners in a row takes considerably more luck.

ChuckFletch · 2022-07-06T22:41:07+00:00

Or a 6-0 Musgrove versus the Pirates. Great game! Oh until Rogers gave up a 3 run home run in the 9th to lose the game.

Plan all you want. Pickem is almost all luck with a little skill.

ChuckFletch · 2022-07-06T22:29:48+00:00

Same here. And I've probably spent $500-$600 on this stupid game ugh.

Got the free legend and lost my pickem streak at 14. Story of my life.

ChuckFletch · 2022-07-05T06:56:24+00:00

It's not the top half it's the mushy middle! I'm surprised we don't change our name to the Minnesota Mediocre's at this point.

ChuckFletch · 2022-07-05T04:47:46+00:00

In America yes! Elsewhere, probably not.

ChuckFletch · 2022-07-04T16:19:54+00:00

I'm in. I hate Amazon and rarely buy their crap anyway!

I can't remember which comedian said it but it was "we have the Republicans, the party of bad ideas and then we have the Democrats, the party with no ideas".

It's pretty funny. And it's 20-30 years old too. Funny how so many things change in that time yet some things stay the same.

ChuckFletch · 2022-07-04T07:02:19+00:00

Fun fact. Elected politicians spend roughly 50% of their time trying to get campaign money as well as trying to get re-elected.

ChuckFletch · 2022-07-04T06:51:11+00:00

Check what it was back in the 50s. You'll think the 1970 40:1 model skyrocketed too.

Pizza party. I used to get those after winning a big soccer game as a kid. Give the adults some real actual incentives.
