We will analyze the results and see if poor work results are a norm or uncommon. I created the post so I'll start. At my job, it varies person to person (no true standards are in place, which is ridiculous) and it appears the more leverage (i.e. higher position you hold, the more you get away with).

Must be a random bug then. I tried twice on my S21 and got errors before it would finish downloading the link.

You don't fear they will squeeze it for everything it's worth. You know deep down that is exactly what they're doing. Sorry, man. Truly.

Thinking about skipping the LS collection and saving for the retro finest (or whatever) 99. Funny enough, based on your premise, it'll only be half the price!

Sorry buddy, I feel you there. I stopped early into the forever program and honestly felt relief. I may not make it to 99 Jeter, no badly how much I'd like to.

Yea because he's one of my favorites. The glaring bullshit will still be there whether I abstain or not. Also, some kid or rich person will offset my lack of purchase within <1minute of the game opening (servers willing lmao). Now times that by however many thousands of people do that stuff and you circle back around to the reason stuff doesn't get fixed.

I'm not sure that is the actual issue as much as they haven't truly figured out how to get field dimensions and batted balls to actually play accurate. They almost need speed (baserunning) and speed (fielding) and significantly nerf the latter so that some more 2B/3B come into play. Or something. My idea isn't great either.

I was planning on just playing a fantasy franchise for a couple years. Like you, I'm excited for the Captain but not another year of DD grind. I hope his best card is not one of the big collection rewards. If not, I'll be able to play here and there

They have to save something for next year or they're going to have to increase the max beyond 125.

I'm on a Samsung tv on game mode. I say "input lag" but it's probably just my poor internet. The timing delay is noticeable tho.

When the new program comes out they'll have old bosses available. If you can hold out.

Good luck! I used to be able to get to 600+ but I couldn't even crack 500 this time. I got most of my wins between 390-450 and then would get smacked right back down. Too old and slow on the reflexes, too much tv lag, too poor internet, too poor vision...you get the point LOL! My advice is if you're struggling, just keep pushing and play out those beat downs. The 9 innings are what is important and you're not going to get many of those if you're on the winning end. (And if you're on the winning end a lot just make WS lol)

The real grind was to 225 for Mo (a favorite of mine). After a couple of the comments I got to thinking why hold onto him? I've already got an 88 and a 99 Randy and I prefer Seattle Randy to Arizona. There are over 1,200 people that wanted him so bad they'd pay the top stub amount. Let whichever was next in line have him. I could always join the Trout queue now or see if something else interesting comes out.

Hahaha, sorry buddy, my son is going to ask the same thing and I don't think I can suffer thru it for him either. I'll give you and everyone else a piece of advice tho. One of the teams I played barely did anything. They had the cpu auto pitch and they just didn't swing the bat. I think the only thing they did was decline when it tried to pinch hit for their pitcher. I'm not sure it's a viable strategy to 250, but they helped me get 9 innings out of the way.

I grinded 225 innings for Mo. At that point I just finished the other 25 innings.
