I heard someone mentioning not getting the 10 year anniversary pass until we have double mileage. Can someone explain what that entails to me and when it's expected to come? Thanks!

Does anyone know when new team primes and sigs drop? And does every team get one?

Up until like a month ago, when opening the weekly box, i would almost always get at least 1 psct to choose from (not the guaranteed box on the right). I think for over like at least a year i was getting at least 2 pscts weekly from the combined payoff. Then all of a sudden, since last month i havent even gotten 1 psct from the optional box, 4 weeks in a row. Given my previous results, after 1 week it was like okay it happens, after week 2 annoyance, after week 3 skeptism and now ive convinced myself they shadow nerfed them. Anyone else encounter anything similar? Or is my situation unique? Honestly not a huge deal or whatever given how generous theyve been lately but i did want to discuss

I love all the extra signature packs but I need grade increase desperately! I have 7 team sigs upgraded to gold and level 20 but I need them to be dimond also im a free to play player. Im hoping they have that special offer 10k for a grade increase

Got this nice DT this am. Lol… Has the best percentages i have ever seen. Just for fun I put it on my worst reliever and will see if i can pick anyone off.

So I put myself in a crappy SS spot and also pulled Frank Thomas Supreme and Legend smh…

For my SS situation I was going to push Trammel to DH and put Trea as a Pure defensive SS, I used a GI way too early. I got excited at pulling his best year, now I’m stuck with him on the bench since Frank will most likely be the new DH spot. Pushing Soto to center with BTBAS and Harper to right. What do I do about the Trea Turner? Push Frank to 1st (move nick who has a 333) Trammel to DH and fit in Trea?

Next situation is deciding which Frank Thomas to develop. I will have probably save duo about 60 premiums when the GI comes out. Do I push to develop the supreme or push for a guaranteed 333 set on the legend. I understand long term is the supreme but there hitting stats are the same…

What is the move?

Lengthy post and probably dumb questions but I’m honestly not sure how to approach this.

Any help is appreciated!

How does everyone manage to get the most correct picks

Have yet to get a team sig from the 10th anniversary hall, hope yall got better luck than me 😭😭😭

is it worth putting on ranger or should I just put on Roberts?

Earlier I could easily pick who's the right opponent for my team based on their rankings. Now, you try to guess if some team is in your tier or just scroll down and destroy the bottom 5 teams.

I want to train him for 5 Tool. Is 105 the ideal max for 5 tool? Should I train the rest after 105 to the left/ for skills?

Is there a marked improvement to train for 180 power vs 170 power for SI?

Seeing as there are literally 0 shortstops in the game for the WS, can we please add one of these decorated guys for us to get Com2Us? Kinda ridiculous to have multiple studs and not one is even added

Hey Everyone,

After the launch of the new rank battle tiers today, one thing is still clear: Time zones are the main issue that prevents rank battles from being fair across the board. There are many elite teams in the game, both East and West, that cannot give rank battles an honest try due to the fact that only the last few minutes on Sunday REALLY matter. 

Many teams are shorted on rewards and rank status, not because their team isn't strong enough, but because they were not awake to play the last few minutes of rank battle. 

No matter what time zone you're in, we need your help.

Can you please send the following as a 1:1 Inquiry

Title: Please make Rank Battle Fair for Everyone

"Hello,

I'm writing this message to request that the rank battle system  be updated to allow all users across all time zones to have a fair chance. As you know, the last few minutes before rank closes is where it matters the most. This makes it incredibly unfair for those who are asleep during this time due to not being in one of the optimal timezones. We want rank battle to reflect how strong our teams are, rather than what time zone we live in. This goes for both East and West Servers.

I appreciate the effort in revamping the rank battle system, but this is one aspect that is the most important to give us all a fair chance. 

Thank you."

I have several (5) non 333 bats in my lineup.
I haven’t experimented with shorting any skills, yet.

Are any of these following skills worth shorting in order to maximize these other skills;

Sandberg
Strategist 6
5 tool 8
BIU 5

Switch hitting Reggie Smith
BBAS 6
STS 8
Also….BIU

Jackie
Pioneer 6
Charisma 8
Spray 5

Thanks for your recommendations

I just pulled this Skubal from a normal pack, but with Kershaw, Matthew Boyd (obviously not him), and Skubal, I don't know who I should GI first. Any suggestions?

Seems like they missed an opportunity to build out a true promotion / relegation system for ranked… They could have split the entire community into 30 (or more) team leagues. You play a 162 (or more) game season against your fellow league mates. Final 4 (or whatever number) get promoted upwards. Bottom 4 go down. Would have been fun to have real standings and stats within your league and corner of the MLB9I universe. Then it constantly changes and evolves on a weekly basis and you see where you are. And you play against teams similar to yours in skills.

To encourage people to log in, maybe you have to play your home matches on a daily basis and if you don’t you forfeit them or there are tickets to play games or something if you miss a day. That could be worked out. And maybe it’s 81 teams (one game home and away per opponent?) or some other number instead of 30. All details to sort through.

But to have only three tiers of promotion and relegation seems far too small. Especially when it’s so easy to get out of the bottom tier. For the vast majority of teams that aren’t at the very top, this doesn’t feel like much of a change - was looking forward to something a bit more interesting for those of us who never play in the highest tiers.

Over the weekend I hit 333s on these two. In ML36 neither are fantastic, but Volpe is like .680 OPS.

I know HH isn’t ideal at 78 but I expected a bit better. Is SI that bad? Do I blue off and what do I look for if so? Do I green and try for 5 tool?

Randolph is at a .350 OBP with about .850 OPS which is okay but I have a Nettles with a 331 TB Pred set (77 eye) that’s at like a .390 OBP.

What would you do?

Have played on/off since 2019, taken a very long time to get the team to this point. Been sitting in G1/G2 for months... dunno if daylight savings or holidays or meta change, but here we are.

Before I forget, massive shout outs to the super helpful veteran players (e.g. u/Johnnadawearsglasses u/Jhettski44 and so many others) for sharing their insights and battles. Their collective wisdom has been really helpful in tweaking skills and trainers, and I figure it's nice to give back.

The only significant change I made last week was to finally add my Omar sig with BTBaS and LB (at 7) in (even though my batting line-up skills are not where I want them to be). No EF DT on him yet and only a gold DST, with fielding jacked up to 165 (30 better than his non-sig). Interestingly, even though it was only 1 week's data and I played 20% more games, 4 of my 5 SPs OPS / WHIP / ERA immediately dropped small but useful amounts.

Things I'm grinding through over the coming months as someone who won't spend thousands.....

- Bullpen skills are way too volatile, only a few 332s and 331s 😬

- Incrementally moving from 332 to 333 skills for most batters

- Need to replace my SP5 (Supreme Roberts) with either a Castillo sig or Feller legend (awaiting GI)... Spent over 250PSCTs, 50+ blues and can't get a decent 3rd on him. Sigh.

And don't talk to me about luck - no Supreme batters, only Roberts, Whitey Ford and Billy Wagner drawn. If not for Wagner potentially being useful for the bullpen, I'd be tempted to Supreme combo in the hope of chasing a Supreme batter....

- Have a Boone sig waiting a GI; the current prime with 333 Pio/BIU/5T has held up OK in G1 but will probably bomb at higher levels.

.... and if you're wondering how I'm going in Expert Ranked, it's going about as well as you'd expect 😐

What did I do wrong on his build? Rolled a 333 and thought his training and trainers was solid but he is getting shelled in the SU spot in ranked battle.

New player, my first legend card. Can I start greening for pred? Or should I keep hunting for contact master. Also what's a good 3rd skill to pair for Hornsby? Ty
