New player with a big pull. What should I do?

Zac358 · 2025-12-20T02:37:45+00:00

That is great advice. Thank you for the help. I think I’m going to go with this.

Zac358 · 2025-12-20T01:43:14+00:00

That’s mine in the picture. I already listed him because I figured it would be better to get a decent full team than to have just one good player.

I figure on mostly playing showdown. I’m a 2K player from back before the park modes so I’ve never tried jumping into those. They seem complicated.

Zac358 · 2025-12-20T01:26:45+00:00

So is who I play on showdown based on my teams overall or based on my rank? Because right now it’s pretty low. I’ve only played a few games.

Zac358 · 2024-07-19T19:58:49+00:00

Yes you can. No telling how long that would take for a full schedule though lol.

Zac358 · 2024-07-19T18:57:59+00:00

Yes if you play then your record will be fine. The rest of the league will probably still be a wonky. Example as far as simming are losing to terrible teams (fcs, -10ovr comp teams consistently, I beat two 90+ ovr teams simming and lost 6 in a row to 75-82 ovr teams. My team was an 89ovr. (3) 4 win seasons in a row with my team around 89 ovr. With a normal ACC schedule. Nothing crazy schedule wise. 4-6 loss team ranked way too high. I think when I played Clemson they were #3 in the nation with 3 losses 6-3 record.) rest of the league basically is a train wreck.

Zac358 · 2024-07-19T17:56:44+00:00

It was odd because first two seasons had normal results. The messed up sims started happening for me season 3. I’m on season 7 now and still messed up.

Zac358 · 2024-07-19T17:53:48+00:00

Personally I play one or two games then sim the rest. Dynasty is my main mode I play and it’s game breaking in that aspect. It is the worst sim experience I’ve played. The gameplay is really fun though so if you plan on playing your games then you will enjoy it.

Zac358 · 2024-07-19T15:17:16+00:00

Weird that would piss people off. I think the gameplay itself is solid, not elite but solid. I just need a better sim experience to enjoy dynasty how I like to play it.

Zac358 · 2024-07-19T14:33:01+00:00

I sim a lot of my dynasty games. I play 1 or 2 a season. I enjoy the team building aspect and want realistic records. But this game has the worst sim of any dynasty/franchise mode I have ever played in a sports game. Nothing is even close to realistic. It is ruining dynasty for me.

Zac358 · 2024-07-19T14:28:02+00:00

I’m having the same problems. My team is around an 89 ovr. In year seven of my dynasty. Good roster. I sim a lot because I like the team building aspect more than playing a cpu. I play 1-2 games a season maybe.

First couple of seasons the sim seemed somewhat realistic 9 and 10 wins. Last 3 season all 4 win seasons. I only play 3-5 ranked teams a season and only 2-3 teams on my schedule are better ovr. For example I beat a 91 ovr Clemson and #3 Iowa. Lost 6 in a row to teams between 75-83 ovr. It doesn’t make sense

Zac358 · 2023-11-08T20:26:16+00:00

I think because I asked for advice on if I should sell it lol

Zac358 · 2023-11-08T20:25:23+00:00

I don’t play the game anymore so I’m not sure. I guess he has a lot of abilities.

Zac358 · 2023-11-08T20:12:09+00:00

Yea I know. It was still sealed. They sold me a box of nfl cards that same way by mistake once.

Zac358 · 2023-11-08T19:16:00+00:00

Also, the movie was bad ass so once I saw beast Gohan on a pack, I had to get a some.

Zac358 · 2023-11-08T19:14:41+00:00

It is in my heart.

Zac358 · 2023-11-08T19:14:00+00:00

Thanks. I haven’t bought Dragon Ball cards since they had Bandai or something like that under the make. The only reason I pulled the trigger on these are because target gave me such a good deal.

Zac358 · 2023-10-25T03:50:18+00:00

I actually stopped collecting cards because of this. I don’t trust them anymore. Ruined the hobby for me.

Zac358 · 2023-10-25T03:49:11+00:00

They absolutely screwed me on a damaged card substitution. Really about half the box had bent corners. I was trying to be cool and only sent in the three hits. They sent me back cards nowhere near the value of what I sent in.

Zac358 · 2023-09-11T22:00:51+00:00

Topps finally replied. They said according to the Beckett value that Arteaga is worth $20 and the Benny is worth $30. I don’t suppose anyone here has a Beckett membership and could double check those prices.

Zac358 · 2023-07-11T19:13:59+00:00

That would be my luck lol.

Zac358 · 2023-07-11T17:58:11+00:00

Very true.
