I've pre-ordered the MVP edition; as a Seattle Mariners fan, I need the steelbook Junior case!
I'm looking forward to RttS this year, or to at least explore the changes. Last year was the first year I didn't dedicate any real amount of time to RttS. Spent most my time in offline DD and a little franchise. I can't wait for release day; Best Buy says it will be delivered to me on the 27th or 28th!
Pre ordered the Hall of Fame edition. Looking to jump all in on the show this year other then just single player offline franchise, so will actually put those extra packs to good use as I expand much more into DD.
Not really a Mariners fan but was stationed in Washington in late 90's and had the good fortune of seeing Griffey Jr play live, one of those rare talents that spans generations and fan bases that only come along every few generations.

Helpful hint in DD -- while opening packs is fun, and while I'm not going to tell you to NOT buy packs, I will say that your stubs are better used to buy cards you want/need directly off the market versus buying packs. That being said. I still buy tons of packs as I love the fun of opening them up
Sounds like the digital version will actually unlock at 9pm on the 27th. Now if I can get Gamestop to give me my HoF edition early on Monday...
I haven't played a baseball game in a long time (MLB 2k10 or so? Never played MLB The Show). I actually have a PS4 these days and I was wondering if anyone could give me a quick rundown on this game.
Game's servers are sobering up a tad, got my loyalty rewards. 3 pieces of equipment, a sponsorship, and a gold Matt Carpenter card. Haven't redeemed my LE stuff yet though.

I started in on RttS. I did about 3 months, my CF spent the first 2 as a DH, played CF for a couple of games, then got moved to 2B. It's a lot easier than the OF, as it slows down for highlight plays that give you more points, so I'm fine with the position shift. The showcase stuff is really stupid though. I went in, kinda sucked, and was taken in the 5th. I decided to go to school for a year, killed it in the next showcase, and went in the 6th. Didn't make sense to me.
I started Conquest a few days ago and stopped RttS entirely. This has me hooked, trying to play Risk in The Show is so cool. My team sucks because I sell off anything decent I get from a pack or drop right now. I've got Missions starter Dante Bichette at the top of my lineup because his Gold Mission is 40 hits in DD (more plate appearances at the top of the order).
Yeah Conquest is a blast. It's pretty much what I focus on to start as you can win with a crappy team. I pick off some of the Tier1-3 Team epics as well until my team gets better. I've pulled a couple of golds and a diamond thus far. Same as you, I've sold most of them for stubs and I'm just stockpiling right now as I don't need a super team to beat these low level missions. I sell almost ANY double I have. Right now commons are going for 100+ so may as well sell them while I can.
The key in Conquest is just play the Stronghold missions. You don't have to play the "Steal Fans" option as it just doesn't matter too much -- especially if your team is crappy and you can't play/win on All-Star+ rating
Head west and North and take up as much land as you can. Then you get so many reinforcements per turn you can pretty much just pile up and overwhelm any stronghold. As you take Strongholds, dont forget to check back in on the Conquest missions as there are hidden bonuses throughout the map too.
I STILL have to finish my pre-order gold and diamond cards -- 2 more hits with Peterson (thanks to games not reporting) and Tillman I need like 75 more Ks. He sucks and NEVER gets chosen as the SP except in Conquest games. That mission might take me FOREVER
I'm not too please with this 1st event as it seems like a LOT of work to get gold cards, but I will give it a shot for the fun of it.
@Lil Frier what's your PSN ID? I will add you so maybe we can play some H2H and get some stats
