Yes! I'm first (well, tied with three other teams) in Pi Epsilon with my 10-5 record. I'm obviously a genius.

The animation of opening the pack is awesome

Not enough adjectives to describe how much I am already enjoying this> I am glad it's Beta.. That will give a lot of time to figure out my adjustments etc etc... This was well worth the wait.. and it will only get better!!.. a 1000 thank you and congrats!!!!

Few thoughts on starting my team last night and popping a few pack opens this morning.

I was not happy to be 3 hit shutout in my first game by 1986 Roger Clemens...

Game has some serious potential. When opening the packs it seems like it takes a while and has some delay between cards. I also seem to be stuck on simulating my game for the last 15 minutes or so. Time counted down and then it's been saying simulating... ever since

Restarting the game fixed this

Hatrack if you're reading this you have ten minutes before you get smoked by Dock Ellis.

I'm having a blast. I can't wait to demean every forum member I beat. I think I should have started playing online leagues a while ago.

Yes, achievements won't be consistent paying. Some, like having a pitcher strike out 4 batters in an inning, pay a lot, but are obviously very rare. Other times you get the slow trickle of 30 points one game, 50 another, etc... I think one game I pulled like 1700 points with like 6 different achievements - everyone in the lineup getting a hit, 6 runs in an inning, multiple steals for players, etc... Definitely an awesome mini-game to watch.

TBPauly · 11-03-2018, 10:32 AM

Just getting started now...Gene Conley is my top starter, Carlton Fisk and Jason Heyward are in my lineup...

Maddox · 11-03-2018, 11:16 AM

I've managed to solidly plant myself into last place to start my journey.
I can only go up from there right?

My Gold player has been my biggest disappointment so far. Corey Seager (Live) is batting .228 with only 7 RBIs and 0 HRs in over 90 at bats.

My other SS, Paul Dejong was relegated to the bench after a horrid start as the DH

glenmere14 · 11-03-2018, 11:25 AM

Lots of fun so far on something I really didn't think I would pay any attention to.

2-3 after 5 games - waiting for my Historical Legend Ryne Sandberg to catch fire (only batting .227, no homers, 3 RBIs)

sharknut · 11-03-2018, 11:33 AM

Should you buy the extra "regular" pack for 1000 before you start, or wait to get 5000 points for the better pack?

Germaniac · 11-03-2018, 11:38 AM

Decisions, decisions

I bought a pack for 1000 and got Don Drysdale ... so I made the right decision.

Of course, if I would have received six bums it would have been smarter to wait

That must be really rare

Wow, I just can't get my team to win. I won 3 out of 4 earlier and though I was trending in the right direction. I then went out to do yard work and cam back to 3 straight losses. The last two were both 4-3 losses.

Out of my league leading 21 losses, nine of them have been by only 1 run.

5-0 start in PSI ETA! My team, Broomfield just beat Chernobyl 21-10! Best card is an 87 Cal Ripken Jr. All-Time Legend. Only undefeated time left in the pool.

Honestly, it's one of the new achievements that I like best, because it's so rare and so random. Although when I hit it, I honestly spent so long double checking the game log to make sure that we didn't have a bug in it

It was Joe Musgrove, too, so not exactly an all-star caliber arm either.

sharknut · 11-03-2018, 03:40 PM

1-7. Can't hit. Can't pitch. Roger Maris of his 61 HR season has 4 hits, all singles. *shrug*

8-12 and falling. I thought my lineup was awesome. They hit like the 2018 Mets. Or the 2017 Mets. Brrr. Also, my 60+ starters all get torched. Whee.

STILL FUN. =)

vyshka · 11-03-2018, 03:59 PM

My #2 starter recorded 31 wins in 1968. So far he is 1-5. On the flip side Glavine is 6-0, but we are struggling and below .500 at the moment.
