santana is the best leadoff hitter, but using him will remove v-mart's 9/8 bat from the lineup (the third best hitter in the whole game). that's too steep a price, IMO. that's why i prefer altuve to lead off.
i don't know what the new update did, but it's AWESOME. my game was lagging horribly with over 500 inactives and the boot up/team edits are SIGNIFICANTLY faster now. instantaneous team edits when it took me up to 1 full minute before.
NOTE: there i…
my game is already pretty laggy with just over 500 inactives. this drafting strategy that requires drafting ~800 players before getting into the good players probably would crash my game/prevent me from making edits.
my current rotation:
1. sale
2. cueto
3. lester
4. de grom
5. sanchez
i'm keeping sale and cueto for sure. i think ultimately, i'll have it be:
1. sale
2. cueto
3. darvish
4. felix or fernandez or strasburg
5. madbum
i feel like i'd have bumgarner in my starting 5 even though i've faced him and came away unimpressed. unless he totally gets battered, i think my giants homerism will keep him in the rotation. i hope he gets upgraded to 9 stuff.
why dickerson over harrison? also why would altuve hit second? that's pretty annoying and nonsensical.
this game really needs to let us edit our own lineups. it's weird such a simple feature isn't available.
my ideal lineup: (keep in mind this is probably the best team you can get)
Jose Altuve 9/2/9
Josh Harrison 9/5/8
Troy Tulowitzki 9/9/2
Jose Abreu 9/9/2
Mike Trout 8/9/6
Victor Martinez 9/8/2
Andrew McCutchen 9/7/6
Adrian Beltre 9/6/2

you are correct. the 35k tourney doesn't recoup itself if you win. that's why i prefer the 200 gold option. for example, if i win 3 tournaments in a row it was basically 3 players for free. even if i lose, say in the final, i only lose 25 gold. i li…
so it works. the tournaments give you every single player. my phone has already really started lagging when bringing up stats/team sections and the loading time between innings sucks...and i only have 450 inactives. but once the page loads, it's fin…
i can't say for sure. but the 200 gold tournament is great because if you win it, you literally make all your 200 gold back. i have a high win percentage for that tournament, so it really doesn't cost me much at all.
i really don't, haha.
i can confirm that i had every 4* pitcher listed in the player list on this forum, but that's it. i stopped following all the players i won afterwards.
i'm using an s4. yeah, there is definitely some lag in terms of loading anything (i.e. between innings and ending games) but i got used to it. i have over 400 inactives. it takes me about 10 seconds to load my team if i want to make lineup changes b…
i've come up with an alternative strategy that i think should limit the lag and get all 3-5* players.
i've realized that the 200 gold tournament/cash tournament will give you every 4 star player, then every 3.5 star player, then every 3 star player…
thanks!
yes, sale is also nasty and i have had trouble against him. i have to say kershaw, bumgarner, and felix are guys right off the bat i haven't had much trouble hitting.
yeah, the odds are really terrible.
i honestly don't know how you get 5 star pitchers in this game. it's crazy.
i have a lot of 5 star position players but not one 5 star pitcher.
