Unfortunately, it looks like I will be promoted to diamond after a 77-85 season. I doubt that I will do well there. |

I hadn't even won a playoff game in prior seasons, either losing the one wild card game or missing playoffs entirely. that includes the beta where I always seemed to be a wildcard team
won my divison this season, and swept the first playoff series. starting pitching was my strength all season. made it to the silver league world series, and playing against a team that was clearly better than mine (on paper), my starting pitching collapsed luckily, my batters more than made up for it. just swept the series, champs! 15-13 (came back from 11-3 deficit after 5 innings) 8-5 6-3 9-8 dunno who the series MVP was, but my playoff MVP was clearly Dave Winfield .431 8HR 18RBI Last edited by Whoofe; 12-23-2018 at 10:52 PM. |

Silver linings in the Gold .284 league...
The team that knocked me out in the conference semi 3-2 (I was up 2-0 before blowing it) ended up winning the WS 4-1 over a stacked Wolf team. So I guess that's a plus at least. But... I kicked arse at the awards banquet. Won a gold glove at 2B. Won silver sluggers at CF and RF. Won the reliever of the year. Got 1st and 2nd place in MVP voting. That's gotta be somewhat rare. Would have traded it all for a Series title... but hey. |

Just wanted to share that my Monterey Bay Whales won the B251 league for our first championship. What's amazing is that by just getting and opening standard packs, I ended up with the following great players:
Hank Aaron - 1959 Lou Gehrig - `1931 Stan Musial - 1943 Babe Ruth - 1921 Tris Speaker - Peak Wilbur Wood - 1971 Kevin Brown - 1998 Billy Wagner - 1999 Of the modern players, I have: Francisco Lindor Nolan Arenado Trevor Story This team went 103-59 and 11-3 in the playoffs to win it all. Finished 1st in all offensive categories except OBP where it finished 2nd. Finished 3rd in runs against, 2nd in starter ERA and 6th in bullpen era. Ready to move up to a silver league and see what this amazing collection of players can do at the next level. BTW, the amazing thing is that almost all of these players were acquired in opening standard packages, not gold packages. So, you don't have to open gold packages to get great players. Maybe I just got really lucky but every time I landed these great historical players and modern players, I got a kick out of opening these standard packages On to the next level to see what this collection of players can do.

Were those regular packs bought with purchased PP or just PP earned from achievemenrs, because if the latter wow. Congrats on the nice pulls.

Thanks. Almost all of these were from selling (not through an auction, just straight selling cards enough to have 1000 PP to purchase a standard pack. I got some gold cards worth 1000 PP that were duplicates so I sold those off and bought more standard packs. I really didn't expect to get such good cards in the standard packs as I thought I would only get the top cards if I bought gold packs

Congrats to the Melrose Red Raiders in the Silver .268 League! It was fun, and I learned a few things. See you next season ~

Standard packs and gold packs have the same odds for top cards (above gold). The only difference is 1 guaranteed bronze vs 1 guaranteed gold.
Also if you pulled all those cards without spending money I might cry. Have spent $60 myself on packs and never pulled anything good. Just 1 low diamond worth the minimum 4k |

OK, you're luck is just too funny! Sorry, it's kind of cruel to say that, but it's been an entertaining read.

I tip my cap to Perugia in G301. You knocked me out of the playoffs. You beat the "Big Train" twice in the series. He was MVP and Pitcher of the Year. It was a fun great year. Good luck in Diamond.

In the gold pack you pay 5000 for 1 gold card, plus 5 chances at good cards. In the standard pack you pay 1000 for 1 bronze card, plus 5 chances at good cards. So if you spend 5000 on each, you have 25 chances for a good card with 5 standard packs or 5 chances with 1 gold pack. The only reason to buy a gold pack is when you start out and need a guarantee you'll get a gold. It's a good way to build a solid team quick. But if you really have a lot to spend, go standard any time. As it is, it sounds like you had above average luck with the standard packs. Do you recall how many you opened to assemble the lineup you mention? |

You are right that I didn't understand how the packs worked. My dismal performance the first two seasons for my team shows that but I kept getting rid of players, even top players like Goldschmidt who didn't perform well to purchase more standard packs until I got the team I now have. Certainly the long way around to building a winning team but I got there nonetheless. Last edited by huskerdan25; 12-24-2018 at 11:19 AM. Reason: Added comments |
