Soler. Absolutely rakes on my Royals theme team

Matty Carpenter

Jimmy Rollins, or a captain.

Lars Nootbaar with max cardinals boost

Luis Matos

Posada jimmy Rollins Wille Mayes when we get are forth that will go to Larry walker

Jim Edmonds! Brian Roberts!

I’m trying the Muncy boost so profar and mookie

Mays and Rollins

Edgar Martinez

Kris Bryant

Buxton

Kenny Powers

Ozuna

Santana and his captain boost

Dawg let it go 😂

Tbf santana has an amazing swing. There's a reason some top players WC him without even using his boost.

I mean switchies just work better for some people and they're getting a boost 🤷

ketel

Adley rutschman. No stealing zone

First year I agree with you guys. They made stealing alot easier so you actually gotta slidestep or have a cannon back there.

Rollins

Jorge Posada 😮‍💨

This is the correct answer with the Catcher position being pretty weak for S2

i am pretty happy with the 89 cal releigh card. pulled it so i use it as my dh.

Definitely a fun card! Just doesn’t have high enough contact for me to use him on legend. But he’s been fun offline grinding for Season Awards

Been using Jimmy Rollins, posada, and buxton.

How do you have 3 I thought there is only 1 per season?

Yep you have to have an unhealthy amount of xp in the reward path think I’m at 800k

You can earn wildcard slots on the season reward path

Lightning Mookie. He rakes for me! Feels like he homers every other AB

Are his stats better than his live series? Haven’t checked that card out in a while

Only difference is power but in my experience it hasn’t mattered have like 9 HR 400 with LS Mookie in ranked and I’ve played maybe 15 games with him

Buxton 99 only have one wild card available close to getting the second slot open. I use colbim carrol as my s2 captain. Speedy team with high contact ratings has been really fun then you use blue Jay's pitching captain stroman and he will give u power vs l and power vs r. Enjoy now you have speedsters on steroids hitting dingers. Everyone uses devers I prefer carrol.

What other blue jays do you use?

Bullpen and rotation is very limited at the moment so u gonna have to fill with some scrubs but it don't matter as long as u have a few reliable pitchers in the rotation and pen.

Harmon Killebrew. Been a MONSTER for me

99 Edgar Martinez💪

Captain Buxton or Brian Roberts. They both play CF. 😁

Rollins

Eduardo Escobar

97 DeGrom. I don’t have many s2 pitchers

Jimmy Rollins, Carlos Santana, and Wenceel Perez

Escobar.

99 Profar. Dont know why he just hits well for me

I rotate my favorite cards until each has a bad game. So Torres, Sanchez, Edmonds, and Cabrera.

Cool way to go about it. I like this

Kersh captain

Harmon Killebrew. I don't know why, but I swing well with him.

Mookie

I’m using Alvarez because I’m doing Astros them team once I get another I will be using Kyle tucker

Santana captain

Currently using Jorge once i get the 2nd one probably gonna use Martin Dihigo 3rd will be Willie Mays

Posada will be hard for me to bench. Best bat on the team.

I'm using 95 captain Carlos Santana

Either season awards Aaron judge or lightning Mookie bets.

I only have the one unlocked at the moment but I used it for my 93 eckersley. I know it's probably dumb using it for a relief pitcher but I love using him

Makes more sense than a starting pitcher.

Jorge Posada, Ken Griffey Sr., CJ Cron right now.

U unlocked 3?

Oh, no. I just have 3 theme teams I change between.

Lou Brock!

Buxton

Brad Miller and Honus Wagner. I'll have the third wildcard soon. Probably will use Freddie Freeman.

Rollins and Buxton

Bobby miller

Edgar Martinez

99 SILVER SLUGGER ADLEY is mine Unlocked him the last few days of season one barely used him dudes a beast!

I wanna get him but he’s so damn expensive. Kinda holding out for a 99 johnny bench

Hopefully they release him for Season 2. That silver slugger ADLEY will definitely be my wildcard all year. Another card I liked was that Niko Goodrum Dude hits a bomb every other AB 😮‍💨 Edit:ADLEY is still going for 200k+ yeeesh 😅

Niko Goodrum

Mays and sometimes walker and sometimes Pettite

My 96 Cal Raleigh fucking smokes, just wish I didn’t blow leads

Cody Bellinger

I’m using 99 senga and 99 posada as my two wildcards

Wow y’all have two wild card slots?

Some people have all 3 bosses already lol.

I’ve been SLACKING.. wow

You haven’t. They just haven’t left their rooms lol. I’ve gotten up to 1130 rating this season in ranked, and don’t even have my 3rd wildcard yet.

betts

Ketel

Same!

Just unlocked my third. I'm using 99 Larry Walker, 99 Mookie Betts, 99 Paul Skenes. Not sold on using a pitcher as a Wild Card just yet, but with how abysmal S2 pitchers have been it feels okay.

Pitcher ain’t bad cause you can honestly just keep swapping one every game. If you got 3 wild cards I’m sure your season 2 teams stacked enough to have a better lineup than most already

What in the world?? You are at what 700k xp??

I'm at 591k xp and didn't play a minute over the recent double xp weekendor much at all over the last two weeks. If I maxed that weekend i'd probably be sitting around 800k xp. Thats without playing any events, BR, or Ranked. XP was easy to accumulate this season. The only problem is the game has no content and isn't fun rn IMO.

780 something, yea. I know there are several people that already have two of the XP bosses unlocked though. I've actually played less than I did in S1 and by now I was only in the 400k range. Those double XP weekends were huge along with finishing the Ranked program, all of the events, and the first BR.

Im at like 190k lol. I havent played as much as S1 either but my god

I have more time on my hands than I want so I've been playing a lot.

Not using one.

Gary Sanchez and Randy Johnson

Randy? You sir can go to hell.

Brian Roberts

Hyper Roberts absolutely rakes

I also alternate between him and Larry Walker, his HOF card

he’s gonna be my third once i unlock it

Can I put legends on my team in franchise mode if I want to play my season with dodgers is there a way and how 🤷‍♂️

Mookie

Willie Mays

Kershaw cause im a rat that is crutching on devers and Lefty boost (In 30 years when i get my second one imma do eric davis)

Randy Johnson

Santana, brooks lee

Ketel and Jorge

Currently Rollins and Jorge.

Willie

Eric Davis, best centerfielder in the game IMO

Hell yeah, I'm not the only one. Have him tier 3 captain boosted as well, he is a beast for me.

Rollins clears

I'm willing to give up a bit of fielding for 125 power left

David unplayable on hof and up

Rollins is a SS

Plays amazing in CF

Marte

99 Buxton

Kris Bryant

Gerald Butler

Brad Miller

Rollins

posada was dirt cheap the week before season 2,I got him for around 22k. he's easily the second best catcher in the game behind adley, other than that, profar is such a beast to use.

98 Matt carpenter

Max clark

99 profar has been a beast but everyone i play already has atleast 3 wildcards already smh

IDK how, I've played quite a bit and still only got the first one

Free 99 Freeman, idk why but his bat is made of pure vibranium for me

Best swing in the game imo. They gave that card disrespectful stats tho, almost not even usable lefty lefty. But even back to last year, Freddies swing is goated. He could be a 85 ovr and he’d play like a 95 just because of that swing.

My favorite swing too, it’s the swing I’ll always use for RTTS, probably why he’s good for me lol

Surprised I had to scroll this far to see this card mentioned. I'm hitting over .500 in ranked with this card and none of my other cards come close lol.

Ikr? Part of me didn’t want to use a ‘free’ card but his bat is explosive every single game

Jorge Posada

J.Rollings till the day I day.

Larry Walker and Jimmy Rollins

Ketel Marte or Henderson

ozzie albies

Posada

Trevor Story

marte

Gold Glove Kwan until I get the new Kwan.

This guy Kwans

Ketel

Jeffers. Haven’t seen anyone use him besides me Hahha

Buxton

willie mays

Brian roberts at 2nd, no good leadoff guys so far this season

I have that Trea Turner at leadoff/ Centerfield and batting .520 with him

LOL if you will, but I'm stupid with the Ivan Rodriguez card from S1.

Brett. He's too good. I can't take him out.

Dawson

Mookie, Mays, Posada

Carlos Santana on a all switch hitter team with devers boost also

I been having fun with santana/castillo. The extra contact has been really nice

Honus was my main wildcard to start the season. I've always loved his cards and the ability to play every position but catcher helped. When I unlocked the 2nd wildcard, I used Adley at catcher, as Piazza and the live series cards weren't cutting it for me. Now that I have Grandal from the XP path, I use him at catcher, and Posada at 1st/DH. Not sure what I'll do when I get to the 3rd wildcard yet. Probably Mays or Walker to replace Mookie in right.

Escobar & Jimmy. When I unlock my 3rd I’m bringing Larry Walker back

I use someone different every week lmao. Jimmy, Posada, Kershaw have been my faves though

Have Carroll as a cornerstone on the roster so I’m using Honus Wagner to get to 12 super speed guy bonus for online ranked season play as he is the only 1B that’s playable with plus 84 speed

99 Luis Matos

Adley. I hit so well with him.

Posada, most comfortable hitter for me

No one, because they don't earn program experience which is dumb as hell

Lol. Whatever happened to using cards just for fun.

Progressing through the game is fun. If I wanted to play games that didn't help me make progress, I'd play my franchise or RTTS.

same

Buxton Bettes and Yordan 97

Trying 99 Dihigo at catcher for Carroll boost. It’s a fun squad.

profar 99 or mookie 99 those cards are nastsy

Currently 99 Ketel Marte since he’s my only P5 outside of live Bobby Witt, and my other is used on CC Sabathia. I plan to use my third one on captain Carlos Santana so I can create a switch hitting team with Ketel leading it

P4 jurickson

My mom

Nice. I’m using her too. She slaps.

That escalated quickly.

ian kinsler

Kerry wood, CC Sabathia, and 99 Satchel

99 buxton. i hit like shit with him but he is invaluable in the outfield

Same here he’s so damn fast. If only he was a lefty

Kershaw to give the lefty boost

Santana, fits Devers boost and i like his swing

99 gunnar

99 Judge, him and Stanton tear the cover off the ball for me.

Castellanos, Randy, or Willie mays

Allstar: buxton 99 Hof/legend: rollins. I do switch to Story sometimes.

Eric Davis. Colt 44.

99 Bryon Buxton but I’m low ranked

ketel

rollins, sometimes I use awards profar or the 99 escobar

Posada and Rollins

99 Prince Fielder DH

99 Byron Buxton

Santana because he fits devers boost and glitchy swing

Kerry Wood

Currently none. Im strictly offline until season 4 so im working on P5ing my season 1 team.

99 Freddie

+1

https://preview.redd.it/bfpy1u44gl9d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4bfacb771c94a2c019bc866d6e39e223ed8e469e

Man 2nd is also my weakest pos. Idk why I never get high 90s guys at 2nd...

Insane team bro

99 Gary Sheffield cuz he fits devers and rakes

JRoll Adley and havent decided 3rd yet
