Maybe I'm the odd one out but I like the conquest maps. Easy rewards and I like the hidden packs that pop up. Reminds me of the board game Risk.
The part that makes me mad about the game is that I should not need to spend money on a monitor or adapters for my controller to be somewhat sucessful.
We need a Tim "Rock" Raines.
Gagne in the first pack. Hornsby in the second.
Considering I will not be able to complete these, I'm glad none of them are guys I want for my squad.
@wingo18 said in How much do you value bullpen arms?:
LS Chapman is beastly on a budget if you’re like me and can’t afford his Sig
I second this. He is the lowest rated guy in my pen and still my closer.
They just need to make an option to do offline. Make the stats needed higher and still make it a grind. I hate playing online.
I got it on the 5th try, I crushed and it hit the very top to the wall and went over. Lol. I'm not looking forward to the others.
Honestly just keep the guys you cant sell. Paxton, Orel,lieter, seaver, and Kluber are a fine rotation if not great. Good balance of lefties vs righties and power vs finesse. Unless you love one of the other guys.
My favorite is when you need hits and the pitcher throws 4 straight balls. One time I actually got beaned. Lol
Really nice team. I like the way you have the L/R hitters broken up. I struggle constantly as to where to hit Mantle but I also have him in the leadoff spot. I hit Trout 2nd. Two guys I love on my bench are Jackie and Biggio. I might suggest switching WInker with Biggio. That give you some speed for late in the game you can pinch run for Darnaud. Jackie gives great position flexibility and speed but I'm going to replace him with Honus. Maybe Honus to replace your cap? Pitching is more about feel than anything. Some guys Im great pitching with others not so much while others have the opposite results.
@C_ypress_H_ill said in Why isn’t there Offline stat missions to get prestige?:
I played online for years but not enjoying it this year so decided to play solely offline. I love stat missions and I love the power up program from MUT. SDS has a great opportunity here to combine those and give playing offline more reason.
Love this idea. I know online people might not like it but it really does not affect them because we play offline. IE You dont need to worry about playing my offlined Prestiged player because I dont play online games.
I would think they give us more than just the 40 players needed. Maybe like the last POTM program. You can earn more Playoffs guys with the need cards being famous WS performances/ past WS Mvp. Im slowly knocking out the Playoff moments but man they are boring.
As others say just stick with him. Once you get used to him, he hits ropes all over the place and is so clutch with runners in scoring position. Still my best bat and best glove several months later. I even like him better than Trout.
@CDNMoneyMaker93 said in Turn Off Online Only:
I disagree and here is why DD is a 2 tier game mode of offline and online modes. To turn off online mission or requirements then you are taking away from one of the aspects of the mode. I have said this before numerous time that if you are only going to play half the mode you only will get half of the experience. Now before we all get into a debate about well that's not fair and this and that. Let's look at the one example where SDS themselves did all offline mission MLB 18. It didnt work because those who wanted to play online where not reward or where put at a disadvantage because it was easier to just bring on Rookie for the best cards it create a notice unbalanced approach to rewards and play style. As well MLB 18 is consider the worst version in the series and yet we still have calls to go back to a format like that DD is and will always be online and offline if you are choosing to only play 1 way then you are limiting your options and what you are eligible to either complete or obtain.

Solid points but sometimes it is not a matter of choice. I play on a 46 inch TV that is 10 years old. Picture is great but the screen lag makes it impossible to play online. I have a better chance hitting the ball blindfolded online. Offline it is not a huge hinderance. Yes I know I could buy a monitor, but should I need to invest several hundred dollars to play a 60 dollar game? My internet is solid, but I know having a good connection can be an issue for a lot of people. So even if people want to play online, they might not have the technology to make it a successful experience.
Pudge with Biggio on the bench. Pudge wont let anything past him and is lock down on basestealers which in h2h is almost more valuable than a big bat. He gets on late in the game and I'm down I just sub in biggio.

The Cards did get their best reliever (over last two years) in return. Nothing Arozarena is doing is remotely sustainable. I’ve seen tons of guys in lifetime do well in first 100-200 major league at bats. He’s going to fall. Soon. And they got one of the best lefty arms in the minors in return. Even TB didn’t think he’d do this. It took lots of failing of the many guys ahead of him on depth chart to fail. Mo is a top 5 exec in the league. LOL good one. He does juuuust enough to keep them competitive. He doesn't play to win though, just enough to keep the sheep fans crossing the turnstiles. Dewitt is profit first, win 2nd. 2020 is a bad reminder on just how many bad moves Moe made and they blew up in his face. Overrated I agree OP. Scouting has been suspect for years. He has also put way to much stock in veterans that are making way more than their production indicates. It's almost as if he has thrown out advanced metrics and instead gone with his gut and keeping around those feel good story players but who really aren't that great. Thank you, so many fans put on their homer glasses and can't see problems in their org. Many will say 'oh they've been competitive almost every year' but like my man Herm Edwards said, you play to WIN the game. The org makes little moves here JUST to treat water and save budget, but relies on the random nature of playoffs and hope they get in and catch a win streak. Yes, scouting is suspect and the dumb contracts he has given out have lessened their talent. Giving those dumb contracts to Carpenter and Fowler are why they no longer have Ozuna, Voit and Arozarena

I live in Illinois in the middle of Cardinal and Cubs fans. I not a fan of either but j love baseball. I was at game 7 in 2011 when the Cards won it all, it was crazy. But you look at that 2011 roster, comprised of alot of homegrown talent and a couple key trades and that team was phenomenal. Goldy is really the only major acquisition in the last four years, unless you count overpaying for Fowler. They have found some diamonds in the rough but they are more platoon guys as opposed to everyday regulars.
@Hubijerk said in Ruth Program:
I MAY take Williams for a test drive to replace Musial but I crank with Stan, and I'm really partial to him because... Wait for it... I met him, and he was great. Plus I absolutely cannot stand Ruths Waddle. It's like he's running in high heels while trying to hold in a big [censored].
I met Stan the Man several times. He was always gracious with fans. Would give anyone an autograph or a picture. Even in his later years when he was slowing down, he would carry autographed cards and hand then out. Truly a gentleman and great ambassador of the game.
