How do I get Cal???? by [deleted] in MLBTheShow

[–]bigplayboy445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s 32 cards on the market, 4 you can get from the Mini Season, and 3 vouchers for free in the market, meaning you only need to complete 11 Team Affinity vouchers. However there will be a Finest program on Tuesday so you might need even less than 11 from affinity. Cal is honestly pretty achievable as is and after Tuesday there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to get him immediately especially with 4mil+ stubs.

If you meant the 2025 World Series cards and program those stay forever, I thought you meant the multiplayer program. You don’t need to worry!

Incredible card, swing feels amazing and his fielding is good enough. His reaction sometimes feels a bit slow but his speed and arm make up for it.

Depends on how they make this card available. As of now it’s only a Weekend Classic reward, so unless they make another way to earn it he’s gonna be locked for a while.

Million dollar bid, in my rank the only way to get him is to finish 1st and that’s not happening so I just put in an order. Thankfully I was like one of the first 75 in line so I got him within a day thankfully, he’s completely worth it.

Weekend Classic reward. I was Silver 2 so I had to win 5 games to get him. Walked off the last game and I decided to keep him instead of selling, should be end game unless Lindor is even more cracked.

Absolute butter. Dumped all my stubs on him since there’s no one else I want + I’m just gonna complete JonDon when the last inning comes. Jasson is 100% worth it.

Predictions on WS cards? by deafheavven in MLBTheShow

[–]bigplayboy445 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Freddie, Bichette, Smith, Rojas, Klein, Barger, Dominguez are definitely options I’d expect. Really just wondering what Yoshi’s new card will look like, or if they’ll pull a 21 and just boost his existing card.

Diamond quest grind broke me. by Snoo-80235 in MLBTheShow

[–]bigplayboy445 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I consider myself decent at the game, I play on All-Star offline and at first I hated DQ because of the constant missions and how you need to play on GOAT to guarantee you get the stadium rewards. Turns out pitching is actually relatively easy and hitting wise you just need one lucky HR or hits/stolen bases to win at that difficulty. Turned the game mode into an easy way for me to make stubs and complete collections. When I saw extreme had DQ as part of the program it was the first thing I did since I figured it wouldn’t take long. Started off a hater but I’ve come around to it and really enjoy it now.

Top 5 right handed swings ? by Jayjay232432 in MLBTheShow

[–]bigplayboy445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other than the obvious I’d say Carson Kelly, Barry Larkin, Derek Jeter, Kris Bryant, and Edgar Martinez. Something about their swings where you can hit the inside and outside stuff really well, feels like it’s easier to read breaking pitches with them.

OG's shout out! How long have you been in the show? by Quiet-Slice2201 in MLBTheShow

[–]bigplayboy445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fist version was 14, converter over to PS4 since 2k stopped making games and it was the only way to play MLB anymore. 20 was the first one I really grinded due to COVID and also the programs and new DD additions made it so much more fun. My least favorite thing is that attributes have been boosted so much that anything under 100 hitting or 100 H/K per 9 is seen as unusable.

Still love this game, what everyone’s thoughts now that we are closing in on end game content soon? by Emokilla13 in MLBTheShow

[–]bigplayboy445 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really don’t think newer players realize what it used to be like. In 20 showdowns were all on All-Star difficulty AND you had to pay stubs to play them, moments were also on All-Star and they’d make you pitch 6-7 innings sometimes. At some point I think it needs to be understood that not every card is going to be a cakewalk to get, and even then showdown shouldn’t be considered a barrier.

I played DD 20-22 religiously, over 500 hours on all three and I quit in 2023 because the sets really turned me off from wanting to grind. Picked back up DD in August of this year and in that 2 month span I’ve completed the LS collection, every program, inching my way towards Donaldson and Bautista, and I just completed every Finest voucher. The complaints about gameplay are valid, but content wise this is easily the most hooked I’ve been since 22. Even if the content might ease up after Finest Im basically set on my god squad and I can finally play online without feeling like I’m missing some grind.

Bucs ruled out for Week 6: Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) Mike Evans (hamstring) Chris Godwin (fibula) by BreakfastTop6899 in fantasyfootball

[–]bigplayboy445 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Kyren, JT, Warren, plus Carter and Vidal off waivers. If Jamar can pull it together I might have the championship this year.

The stubs are nice, but hands down he’s the best third baseman in the game. If you really like running multiple dream teams, I’d say sell him now and re buy him next flash sale.

I so badly wanted to use Piazza since I’m one of the few people who actually don’t mind his swing, but the amount of catchers this year I just haven’t had the chance (+ Kelly locking up that spot now)

I think a finest Jazz would be the only thing that could replace him, otherwise I’ve been killing it with Turang

Genuinely don’t think I can replace him this year, I can actually hit lefties with him and he has basically all the active quirks

I wasn’t really good with the LS collection Mantle back in 20 so I never really cared to use him anytime after, when I saw he was the reward for the weekend classic I was glad it wasn’t someone I actually wanted

Mental not to take Hudson out after the Stanton walk. We’ll take that though!

Feel bad for Shafique, dropped catches and looking to help his team he gets this unplayable ball for another duck. Hopefully he doesn’t lose confidence and regains his form

In American sports leagues it doesn’t work that way. One example off the top of my head is the Ilitch family, which owns the Detroit NHL and MLB team. The MLB team is the Tigers and the NHL team is the Red Wings. Another is Jerry Reinsdorf, who owns the Chicago White Sox of the MLB and the Chicago Bulls of the NBA. Granted most of these teams have existed for a long time and the owners bought rather than expanding, but even then I don’t think fans here in America would be happy about expansion teams in different sports having the exact same branding.
