I'm just gonna get him and pretend to myself he's SS Mookie.

Thoughts on a coop online mode similar to 2k’s park or pro-am modes? Or NHL’s threes?

Personally I think this could be a really good add to MLB The Show if done correctly.

@cvogsfashow said in Is Betts coming?:

I think Mookie or Orel would bring back players either way and it would also be a shame that Orel's highest card is a 92. OO and there is also no shortage of Dodgers fans in the MLB Community.

Listen, we got teased with a 99 Betts earlier this year, he very well may be coming but personally it would be disappointing to see the last SS card be at a position that already has a plethora of goons.

Know what would really bring folks back..........Tiant/Niekro.

Niekro or Tiant would make me stop playing entirely lol.

Gagne. Only guy in my pen that doesn’t have a 3.5+ ERA. Everyone else is hit or miss.

This sounds like it might be end user error lol.

Haha yes. I’m not exactly an elite pitcher in this game. Bottom line is Gagne is really good and everyone would be using him if he weren’t so expensive.

Joe Carter is like WTF!!!!

So Alex Gordon, Rick Ankiel, Travis Hafner, and Jason Kendall get a SS but not Joe Carter.

Yeah, what's up with that SDS? All we really wanted was Joe Carter.

So weird because I am not a huge Carter fan. However, he is the only legend in that original group who doesn’t have a SS. The lower level SS are not so much better (if they are better) that would warrant his exclusion.

Plus with a secondary at 1B. He could have been the rare 1B with SB speed. Regarding stats...All the SS stats are so all over the place like Jones 91 vision that a 95 version isn’t crazy. If it IS crazy it’s no more crazy than some of these other cards.

I would've hated Joe Carter being the final reward 100x more than I hate Andruw Jones being the final reward.

What's helped me most is 1) seeing how players react (or don't) to certain pitches to find a weakness, 2) paying attention to their timing on the previous swing vs. the pitch velocity, and 3) throwing certain pitches in atypical locations to throw off their swing.

In years past I've pitched fine. I just can't figure out the meta this year even after 9 months or however long it's been. I'm always painting the black, but pitch location seems to be less important this year. I give up countless singles but rarely any extra base hits.

@DriveByTrucker17 said in Optimism:

Is it possible we could actually get good gameplay AND good content?

Or are we going to get good gameplay and bad content this year?

No chance we get bad content in my eyes. With a few exceptions, content has always been better from year to year.

THE most overpriced and overrated card on the market.

Not. Best reliever in the game.

@Boofed_Up said in MLB the Show MYPLAYER ONLINE:

Me being an MLB the show fanatic has led me to some ideas that I believe would greatly impact the game. An online myplayer mode should be incorporated where you can upgrade your player through road to the show with the same attributes. The player would pick a position and would be able to play with their friends in online 3 inning games against other squads just like EA Fifa pro clubs or NBA 2k pro am. It would be a real game changer and would up the population of the game because as data shows with other games people love spending money on micro transactions and putting it into their my players in order to show out online. The same concept for road to the show would be added with the same customization. The online mode would be 3 inning games with players able to pick a selected primary position that they build their player around or a secondary. Whichever real players that are not on the field will be filled by an AI.

Great idea. Would be so much fun.

I went with Chipper. Thanks for the feedback. I was going to go with pitching to be honest but everyone seemed rather against that. Ruth for me was never really an option because I'm hitting .575 with Ted Williams. All of my offensive players have played well so far but unfortunately there isn't really any good pitching options except sutter, and he's only okay. Now I'm going to go try to climb the ranks but I think my bullpen is going to get shelled once I start facing better opponents. Wish me luck!

@LankyRyan said in World Series No Stubs Spent:

Definitely Babe.

Fair, given that he is the best hitter in the game, but my outfield is also the strongest part of my team.

Ha, live series my bad, got that THANKS AGAIN

Lol. It's pretty cheap only like one or two golds. Selling Jones should cover it like 30 times over.

If you guys had to make a lineup out of the best defenders at each position at this point in DD, who would go where?

Joe Mauer

Fisk and Berra both used to be in the game lol
