Instead of using my stubs to buy players, I do enjoy just buying the packs and getting the loot box rush of opening those packs. Reminds me of actually opening baseball cards back in the 90s.

Probably got a few more weeks of play in it before I retire it, but it's definitely been a great re-entry into baseball for this Xbox owner.

I love baseball and haven't played a game since the wonderful MVP Baseball 2003, so adapting to MLB the Show 21 was a bit of a learning curve.

Still stuck in AA with my two-way player, but getting much better at both the pinpoint pitching and the batting and enjoying the road to the show mode as a way to play through games without the crazy time commitment of a full game.

There are a bit too many systems for me to manage - so I mostly ignore them and just focus on improving my stats.
