re: **tOfficial MLB 16 The Show Thread**

Well, I am (unfortunately) back at work. I took yesterday off. Upon midnight release, I stayed up until 9 AM playing/streaming. I then hopped off around 9:30 and took a quick power nap (woke up at like 11). Cleaned house a bit and then hopped back on around 1 PM and didn't get off until midnight last night. I opened over 90 packs and my notable pulls were a second Carlos Gomez (got the first one in one of the opening week packs from pre-order), and a Diamond Craig Kimbrel. My current lineup looks like this:

C: Matt Weiters
3B: Jung-Ho Kang
SS: Carlos Correa
2B: Jose Altuve (Rookie)
1B: Lucas Duda (his 5 star rating is amazing ATM)/Edwin Encarnacion
LF: Michael Conforto (another 5 star rated beast)
CF: Carlos Gomez
RF: Jason Heyward (flashback)

Starting Pitchers: Shelby Miller, Julio Teheran, Chris Capuano, Bartolo Colon (flashback), Hyun-Jin Ryu


Battle Royale:

I am currently 8-1. My next win will next me a flashback joba Chamberlain.

Conquest:

I have 60+ territories. With the "Challenge failed" crap happening to me trying to play Battle Royale, I dove head first into Conquest mode. Haven't even touched a game of Diamond Dynasty H2H.

THis was happening to me last night also. I played 2 games of battle royale and then couldn't play another because of this. I eventually gave up and started RTTS.

Oh and just in case you guys were wondering, every mission (so far for me) has had another mission under it once the current is complete. That's how I found a 95 OVR rated Chipper Jones in the game. It's going to either take a bunch of time or a lot of money to get him

Damn I want to pull the trigger on this game badly, I'm off work today and tomorrow. My main fear is that I'm just a casual baseball fan and I've never played the show before. But growing up I loved playing baseball games.

Im not new to The Show but this is the first year that i am going to try to get into DD. What are some tips on the best ways to build up Stubs and get new card packs?

the best way to build stubs is through the market place. A person can only buy/sell the top listed price which makes it insanely easy to flip cards for profit. There is a 5% tax on all transactions so keep that in mind when flipping cards.



Take that graphic for example. Last year the tax was 10% so realistically none of those cards would have been great to flip unless you got lucky and had a legend from a pack and nobody wanted to do the collection.

BUT.. look at Masahiro Tanaka. If someone wanted him RIGHT then and there they would have to pay 20,789 stubs to get him. Likewise, if someone wanted to "quick sell" him, they would be getting 15,555 minus the 10% tax from him. That is where your profits come from.

If you are looking to flip, you want your sell now price to be the top option. So you would over bid the 15,555 guy.. Maybe bump it to 16,000 and hope someone quick sells him to you. Once you have that card in your possession, you can then turn around and list it for "buy now". You would need to put it at a lower price than the currently listed 20,789. So let's say you list it for 20,000 and someone buys it. That means that before tax you have a 4000 stub profit. apply the 10% tax and you just made a +3600 stub profit. It's hard to find that major of a gain, but it is possible.

Is it possible for me to sell literally every player card that I have?


Also, I have no fricking clue what this captain crap is

The captain card is awesome

But how do you get one?

Sounds of the show is another thing. I have tons of music, but it's all on my phone. Wouldn't begin to know how to get it from there to my ps4.

Picking it up today. Say I have 3-4 other friends I want to play with online. Which of the modes mentioned above are available/recommended for an online dynasty? Played in the NCAA dynasties for years but am new to The Show and PS4
