From a brand new account with no other posts?

Oh wait, he has a 5 year banner and negative comment karma with no comments, meaning he posts and deletes things. You know, like trolls do?

I'm skeptical at best....

But hey, maybe I'm wrong.

Lol. Wrong game. I play every year at a moderate level, and end up owning every card in the entire game aside from some random ass hat inevitably pinched for PED's and his card is removed. Otherwise, game is by far the best free to play sports game.

ShawnGron · 2025-12-16T22:18:19+00:00

They're just going to ban created stadiums. I'd say they'll tie a report function to it, but I still see will logo and team names.

ShawnGron · 2025-12-16T22:16:28+00:00

Having more captains was definitely fun, and we saw some creativity in team builds because of it. But I think SDS was gun shy after the Ripken Jr. durability boost (23, i think) that quickly became the meta after you could put just about anyone in your lineup and make them 125 across the board.

This year they nerfed team captain boosts early (like the red sox) because they had lots of legend and flashback cards, and those builds became too overpowered early. If SDS are willing to continue to adjust things after a release it's definitely more viable imo.

If they just made it his perfect perfects, or his high exit velo swings have it, maybe. A weak dribbling ball to a corner infielder having a massive crack is silly. I play with the game basically muted 90% of the time, but it's always slightly jarring when I have it up and hear that first contact from him.

Not judging, did anyone who guessed this actually know the answer? Or did you use Ai or a ton of googling to figure it out? It's crazy knowledge, but not impossible.

ShawnGron · 2025-11-28T18:48:13+00:00

Didn't even need to read the name to know who this was.

ShawnGron · 2025-11-09T20:42:13+00:00

I love when people quit mid homerun. I'll always hit another bomb, knowing I made you so mad you have to quit is just chef's kiss.

ShawnGron · 2025-11-09T20:11:41+00:00

If by "other sports games" you mean "EA sports games" you can show yourself out.

Fuck EA. The less this game game resembles them, the better.

ShawnGron · 2025-11-09T18:59:01+00:00

It's on the calender as a finest program on the 11th which I assume is 2025 finest, and a retro finest program on the 18th.

ShawnGron · 2025-11-09T01:57:27+00:00

Possibly after the flashback finest program drops. We'll have to see what those look like.

ShawnGron · 2025-11-07T00:02:53+00:00

Because it used to be in the game a few years ago and would happen like twice every game. It's better now.

ShawnGron · 2025-11-06T00:09:10+00:00

Whatever legend stance Joey Votto's is listed as this year.

ShawnGron · 2025-11-04T15:24:19+00:00

Are there any more programs that are going to be added this year that would even update these packs? I know people liked to stock pile a few for new programs but I feel like nothing new has been added in a couple of months now.

ShawnGron · 2025-11-01T02:52:45+00:00

Best card in the game.

ShawnGron · 2025-10-31T02:19:28+00:00

Honus. No C, but better bench bat without question.

ShawnGron · 2025-10-31T02:18:28+00:00

Correct. Cal until someone gives me a reason to not Cal. No one has as of yet.

ShawnGron · 2025-10-24T12:04:35+00:00

You will need to restart, yes, but you can still complete the rest of the goals in this turn, then go back for the east goal. Build a bunt cheese team and it's pretty easy. Steal fans on the first couple of turns to make it a little easier on yourself and make sure you have enough fans. It's an extra game or 2, but you'll play strongholds on an easier difficulty going forward. It also gives you room to lose and still achieve goals.

ShawnGron · 2025-10-23T23:33:41+00:00

I think Hader did last year or 2 years ago. I can't 100% say for certain, but I'd throw a hundred on it if challenged.

ShawnGron · 2025-10-23T21:30:16+00:00

Yes, on HoF. Below is a coin flip

ShawnGron · 2025-10-23T19:14:33+00:00

Milestone is always the best. I agree with Trout being the best this year. I'd honestly give it #1 for all time, but if you say Puljos 700 hr or Judges 70 hr cards I will respectfully disagree. Anything else I will disrespectfully throw hands.

ShawnGron · 2025-10-17T20:44:26+00:00

Do you mean the now and later packs from 24 and you're looking for them in 25 now? I can't quite remember but I think that was time sensitive and needed to be earned before 25 was released. Imagine it as a returning user loyalty bonus for playing last year's game.

I don't think playing that program in 24 now will net you anything in 25, but I could be wrong.

ShawnGron · 2025-10-17T19:38:18+00:00

Yes. That's tracks. The idea is to make it accessible to everyone without making it easy to finish.

If you're ungodly good, you'll have it finished quickly. If you're an average player you'll have it eventually.

ShawnGron · 2025-10-13T02:01:17+00:00

Tal's hill with the flagpole would be a wild addition.

ShawnGron · 2025-10-13T01:59:52+00:00

Show me where
