It has been a mixed bag for me.

I'll go on hot streak for a week or so and then go three weeks getting bronzes and commons with a silver sprinkled in.

Still just two diamond pulls for me so far, but at least I did get those two.

Rookie Ken Griffey Jr.


He will probably be made available to the general public at some point though.

Anyone have any last minute investment ideas to buy now and sell after an upgrade today?

Kinda think Judge could get a +2 to gold.

Roster updates were pretty disappointing for me.

This week's was underwhelming.

Idk what's up but I rode a heater earlier this week and got to like 33-12 this season and a 970ish rating. Was up to like 22 in WS and now can't win a game to save my life lol. Like I can't even keep it close.

Gonna take a break I think. I've played more already than I did in last year's game.

I've been really struggling to hit in the past week.

Good contact, but soft grounders and pop ups.

I can't hit anything online. I got whatever the gold card is for this season but haven't been able to get any higher

any tips for hitting. I'm playing road to the show and when I got to the majors I just can't get the timing down on any pitches.

Try using dynamic difficulty. It will adjust based on your success/failures at the plate.

Also, don't be afraid to take a pitch or two.

Getting in to good hitters counts is huge

Thanks. Ya I was just used to being able to crush everything when my guy was in the minors and then the difficulty spiked big time once I got to the majors.

be late, be great. This fricking game is so goddamn broken. Center green swings don't mean shite anymore. Just make sure you are late on your swing and you will win most of your games with opposite field homeruns and gappers. Nevermind the freezing, the lag, and the lack of general coordination from the developers. This game has gone to complete shite. Rather than fixing the game they would rather release more Diamond Dynasty cards.

This. I had Joey Votto with back to back "good" swings on fastballs right down the middle and he whiffed on both of them. I almost broke my fricking Tv

The timing of swings/hits is fricked up, but I see the term 'center green' thrown around much too often. Just because it is good timing and supposedly squared up doesn't mean it will be/should be a home run or even a hit. It is baseball.

But the 'just late' and inside-out hitting is freaking retarded.

Bought a 50 pack last week. Only pulled a single gold player. G Cole.

Got a diamond sponsorship but it was only worth about ~1200 in the market.

I was not please. ONE F-ING GOLD IN 50 PACKS?!?

RNG gonna RNG.

I would never advise buying pack, especially if there is a player you actually want and can afford.

I buy packs because i'm an idiot and love the thrill of disappointment lol.
