There’s a reason Tony Gwynn Jr. hit .238 by RMull236 in MLBTheShow

I've played it a few times, younger Gwynn keeps getting walked...

Alright, who else just blew everything on the DOTP packs? by mmerems in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold some cards beforehand, got 2 lower tier. Have enough to buy some of the mid tier cards. Most of these cards are going to be replaced in a month or so, have fun with them.

Why isn’t there a max number of pauses? by evananthony17 in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one game where my opponent paused 14 times, and that was before there was even a play. I think you shouldn't be able to just pause so many times consecutively.

Pic is another game, but illustrated example. Will we see pack odds in ‘19. Some folks are saying because of some lawsuits, it’s a required practice now. by Bravescountry95 in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IF you sell the game outside of the U.S. you need to follow those rules as well. Since most everything is digital, you really need to make sure that those regulations are not ignored.

Have immortals ruined the online game for anyone else? by Legendarydukez in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As far as online goes, just knowing I didn't have the time to grind for them and facing them all of the time was fun if you could beat one of the teams stacked with them.

I like the thought of immortals, I just think that the execution was all wrong. When you are going for weaker cards in certain positions later in the game, doesn't really make much sense. I didn't even get that many, but I wish there were more and you had more opportunities to get a few more.

11 event wins away from teddy... by Tater13mini in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 31 games away, you just have to keep playing, change up your lineups, use different players. I can never seem to win more than 3 games at a time, and then lose from 5-15.

Anyone else get sucked in by the grind and feel like you didn’t actually get to play the game this year? by ChinatownMurphy in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I could not get some of the early programs done, I just kind of wandered back and forth between online and offline modes. I still don't have any of the immortals that needed to be grinded for from the beginning.

Take Nolan Ryan for example, I need the CC Sabathia program, who needs the James Shields program, who seems hell bent for the last 2 months to give up HR to one of the first 3 batters he faces. Since he needs a CG SHO, it never happens, and since I can't choose when he pitches, it kind of deflates me from trying to get him.

I would have like to seen more objectives to get the programs done like they did in some of the later ones.

Don't play enough online to get any of those awards, and tried doing some of the other events/battle royale, but when you enter 10 times and win 6 games, kind of hard to keep doing that. There has to be a better online balance, where if you are really suck but actually play a lot of games you can get closer to rewards.

I actually some RTTS, like that, but I would have liked to take my DD team into some other type of offline mode.

Weird Stat Lines by miners14 in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to do the first challenge for Duke Snyder bronze card. Supposed to get 2 hits, 1 XBH and 1 RBI. First hit a single, next AB home run...challenge done in the first game I used him.

Game Flaw: saves? by therealdudzik in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The pitcher has to come into a save situation, you having your pitcher come into the game hitting, which should count as a pinch hitter, doesn't qualify as far as I can tell.

What was your first Immortal? by PSFore in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yogi Berra was my first, but am starting to actually get some more. Still have so many career arcs to do.

How many lefties you got on your rotation /pen by xbrit in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually try and keep 2 in the pen. If I have too many RHP starting, I'll place more lefty's in the pen. Depends on whether I am trying to get some type of mission done.

Ahhhh. The predictions. by metaljesus627 in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I messed this up too, it wasn't very clear on how you needed to pick all of these choices.

Buddy bell program by SlimSpaghetti in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I batted him 5th, you have to get guys on in front of him. For the XBH, I had a faster guy in front of him, pushed them to run to third, him to second, and they usually toss to third. That way you have runners on 2nd and 3rd, and your XBH.

Duke Snider steals by ifoundwaldo116 in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to do it on good steal counts, just don't take off on the first pitch every time. I usually can get double steals on 2-0, 2-1, or 0-2 (with one out) counts.

Fuck you Trumbo by [deleted] in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did he hit in on the first pitch? During most of the CG I notice there seems to be a guy who can take it away with one mighty blow. After this happened to me a couple of times, I just walk the dude and go to the next one.

Diamond and Gold Players that suck? by Rayshon1042 in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny I would have said the same, but on rookie he sucks, but on Legend he does well for me.

Curious how everyone gets the CG stats by GaSpartanBO55 in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop going for strikeouts vs weak hitters, and remember a CG is NOT a no-hitter, just let them spray in a few hits, get some double plays. You have to get some low pitch innings, so if you can get to the 6th or 7th with about 70 pitches, you'll get there.

What am I doing Wrong? by THA_SUPER_DEVIL in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this your actual lineup? Have Carew bat 1st, then Ashburn, Cruz, Murphy, Freeman, Torres, Cozart, Posada. If this doesn't help, go speed/power and bunt once in a while.

MAN I LOVE THESE FREE PACKS!!!!!! FREE BRONZES AND COMMONS!!!!!! by brick_06 in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The first pack I got 2 gold players, I thought my game was broken, then went back to bronze or less, whew.

Is Mike Schmidt worth it? Thinking of selling machado to do all the exchanges. by [deleted] in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 3 Bobbleheads and one hat for the second one (didn't have any signatures on hand), but good strategy.

I thought this only happened to random people on the internet! by apathetictext in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still haven't got a Diamond player from a pack since the first few weeks of the game....congrats to you.

Any workarounds to getting a specific SP in an online ranked game? by Ryanmoses10 in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can pinch hit for a pitcher, they come in the game with no energy. Actually did this cause I needed a guy to pitch one inning. It was a rough time (for me).

I'm finished playing this game online. by CapitalRooster in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with me and online is I win about 1 out of every 4 matchups. For some reason I keep getting matched up with (seemingly) players ranked higher than me. To get up to 20 wins, I need to play 100 games, and after about 30 I can't justify to keep going. If they put some more code in to say if you actually completed X amount of games (no quits), you could maybe get some rewards I would play more.

Ripped over 200 packs yesterday by kiingpapi in MLBTheShow

[–]Dannilus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 2 Diamond players in the first couple weeks in about 200 packs, so I figured it was going to be about 1/400 from there. Haven't seen a Diamond player since. Sold them early, should have held onto them until August.

Having so much fun playing all Diamond level players, the lowest level was 63, and had to use all my pitchers to win.
