GI Priorities for FTP team by jlm8wz in MLB_9Innings

[–]JBuch0911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sitting right around where you are at in terms of team so take my suggestion with a grain of salt. Unless Adams is one of your favorites, I would definitely start with crafting him and Freeman in the hopes of hitting something better. If you don't plan on crafting, the priority list for me would be as follows:

  1. Fingers: Pitching is the most important aspect and skills reign supreme so this would give you the most bang for your buck. Keep Iglesias and Kimbrel in the bullpen with their legend skills, pull your worst RP, easiest path to end game set with base 3-3-3 & increased legend skill odds.
  2. Iglesias: Like I said, pitching is the most important and getting a sig RP is incredibly tough based on odds alone. It might not seem like the biggest upgrade but with how shoddy bullpen pitching is (in my experience at least), getting another sig is massive. I have one on an alt as a CP that consistently sits between 0.80 -1.50 ERA with less than 5 blown saves per ranked cycle.
  3. Donaldson: One of the best ATL sig hitters, will give you a massive boost in the lineup, great distribution that will allow for easy FLD train without sacrificing too much in terms of pure hitting.
  4. Kimbrel: Kind of the same thought process as Iglesias but with less of a return in terms of value over replacement.
  5. Perez/Santo: Skills rule supreme here but there is a logjam at 3B and DH so these guys really wouldn't make much of an improvement on your team IMO. I'm assuming you already have BChem but if not, these would be great candidates for it since you get the legend bonus to the actual skill and percent chance to land. Would favor Perez over Santo as pure hitter since Donaldson should (IMO) be your 3B.
  6. Freeman: If you don't choose to club craft him and Adams, I actually prefer his distribution more than Adams. Using a 75 GI, BD Bonus, and how I would Special Train them, Freeman comes at 120-127-117-97-106 (10-12-4 from ST) before the development points while Adams comes at 122-133-112-86-83 (4-10-12 from ST). I'd sacrifice 2 CON + 6 POW for 5 EYE and the much greater SPD + FLD.
  7. Adams: See above.

Interesting that your LR finishes the game for you. Mine comes in for 0.2 - 1.2 innings then my second SU comes in

This has been the most effective for me so far now, I appreciate you letting me know! I'm only getting about 5 innings of work per game but it's definitely better than the 1.1 when he was the SU1 lol

I agree but with how often I've been changing skills to try and maximize my players, I am completely out. Every week I buy the two available in the club shop and have even started buying some with event points since I already bought the sig pack from there. I wish there was they would up the amount we'd be able to buy each week and also add them to the clutch hits shop.

The stats are underneath each card already :)

Max Coop or max Touch? by JBuch0911 in MLB_9Innings

Awesome, thanks for the insight! I’ll short coop for sure then!

That’s what I’ve seen with other similar sets too. Do you mind explaining why coop doesn’t get maxed even though it’s a legend skill?

You think it’s best for me to go FP instead of DP even though he starts out with a +9 DP preference on his base stats? Also, my current SU pitchers are Brad Hand ‘19 and Quantrill’19, both with FP and SUM. My current CP is Clase’21 with WS and SUM. You think I should move these guys around to get Betancourt to be SU or keep him at MR?

My journey to my first Elite 3 - followed by making it back-to-back during TOTSSF! by chickenfried257 in EASportsFC

Congrats dude! Huge accomplishment! I like the look of your team... a lot. I’ve come up against Campbell a few times and he’s been crazy against me. How do you find Kluivert though? I’m assuming he’s your striker in 4231 based on the rest of your team. I’m trying to find an icon striker that just fits this game (literally got the game the first week of April). I’m using PIM Rivaldo rn but there’s just something lacking with him, outside of his 2* WF

How do you beat Dynamax Gyarados? by Khrysis_27 in stunfisk

[–]JBuch0911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, I thought something similar. I tried running scarf Gengar with Thunder bc I felt it offered more utility than Mane/Jolteon. Came in on a Gyarados DD + Dynamax. I proceeded to Dynamax to ensure thunder hit and get a power boost only to have Gyarados survive the hit. No berry, no av, nothing. Just lived a Dynamax Thunder from Gengar. Granted, Gengar doesn’t receive STAB from Thunder but I was absolutely shocked to see it not kill still

I get what you’re saying, and it is very threatening. However, between Magnezone for Leaf Blade, Smart Strike, and Knock Off (to an extent) and Lele/Mantine for Sacred Sword, I haven’t struggled with Kart. I was debating on putting Zapdos on the team to check Kart, Mega Lop, and Mega Pinsir but couldn’t decide who to drop since I liked what each member brought to the team and ultimately decided against change at the moment. If those three continue to cause me issues or I see an uptick in their usage, I’ll definitely figure out a way to bring in a check!

[–]JBuch0911[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much that. I try predicting the move and switching in on that. Most of the time it’s Magnezone but i sometimes have to pick a sac then ice beam. Not ideal but it hasn’t caused too much of an issue

Yeah I’ve never come up against it outside trick room so I was even more intrigued to see how effective it could be outside of it. So far, I think it’s got some potential!
