@aaronjw76 said in Can we get rid of the pornhub logo's?:

Last year was my first season playing DD and I let my 9 year old son load up and play on my account if he wanted to including RS and events games.

He was playing the other day and I got hit with the "what is pornhub" question during the game because someone had that as their logo.

Hadn't expected to have to skirt my way out of answering THAT question as a result of a baseball video game lol

Lmao that's pretty funny actually. Unfortunately that's a part of online play, and while I get that it's not a PG logo and eludes to a porn site, I don't see anything wrong with it.

How old are your kids?

Coach has 16 confirmed illegitimate children

It is a mode from an older iteration (‘17 I think).
Folks could add their friends into a league and play seasons with those teams.
Like playing franchise, but online against humans.
I can’t speak to Madden as I never did that, but I did play in many online leagues for NCAA Football back in the day

His flashbacks may still have the eligibility though.

Update: Victor from SDS has confirmed on Twitter that "a CPU will only take over a team when a user quits the league".

So to get a single-player custom league you'd need to populate the league with sacrificial accounts and then kick them.

Unless there is a forced minimum number of humans, ie the league implodes when there’s only one player left or something.

Hopefully that wont happen.

I totally agree the OF people have to play this if we ever want to see OF again!!
This is a starting point to gauge interest. I know us OF people wanted OF back and this is nowhere near it, but we need to play with MLB rosters and not DD rosters. Remember they pay attention to those numbers. DD Lgs seem the way to go but OF people need to go MLB way. IMO

That is correct.

User stats for wins, playoffs etc will though.

It's not online franchise. Your players will not age.

You can play 20 seasons. It will have the same guys with the same LS ratings all year long.

Was wondering if your still looking? Invite on Discord expired. My discord is Porter4213 send me a msg if your still looking.
Thanks

ok thank you

Count me in too! Red Sox prefferably!

And you sir do not “grasp” decorum! Who knows how players are selected for the game and whom/when players/MLB give rights for their “likeness” other than Sony/SDS. Do you work for any of them? If so, please enlighten us on the internals of these decisions. If not, explain how it is you are so certain of your answer that I possibly have submitted an unfathomable suggestion for players to be included. Did they contact Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, Cy Young, etc from the dead for their inclusion? If RA Dickey is excluded for some reason, I did name several other knuckleballers in my post. I found your reply very sarcastic and unreliable!
Sale was just an example, he, Sale was not the point and is irrelevant to the point I was trying to make.
Obviously you do not “GRASP” nor understand the CONTEXT in submission of a SUGGESTION!

We do know how these things work. Of course they didn't contact Lou Gehrig or Cy Young, but they negotiated with their family estates who own the rights to their name.

It's really simple > Active players are covered under the MLB Union, SDS has rights to use them however they see fit.
Retired players most be negotiated with individually, either with the player himself if he is alive, or with the family estate/corporation that owns the name if he is not.

I don't think that's entirely accurate, SDS has agreements with the Hall and the alumni association. I seriously doubt they negotiate individually, otherwise the credit screen would have more disclaimers of where their rights to players come from

While some rights may come from there, a lot of players (The good ones) withhold their rights and do not join the alumni association because they know their name is valuable. If it was the case of being in agreement with the Hall of Fame, why is guys like Mantle not in?

I don't know why Mantle is not in the game. Maybe the bigger the name the bigger the blanket price. For a studio the size of SDS, I don't think they have all kinds of individual licenses floating around.
I could be wrong or you could be wrong, we'll never know for sure because neither of us work in legal at SDS or Sony.

So Mantle is a bigger name then Babe Ruth who is also in the HoF? If they can afford the Babe Ruth "blanket price", pretty sure Mantle would be in there.

That example isn't even necessary because we know the HOF does not have Babe Ruth's rights. A simple google search shows Luminary group, a corporation owns all rights to Ruth's name and likeness. Most HOF players chose not to let the HOF have their rights, because they know their name is valuable.

Is it possible Sony/SDS considers off the field character in who it selects for the games?
Have Pete Rose (gambling), Doc Gooden (substance abuse), Mickey Mantle (alcoholism), Lenny Dykstra (umm... nuts? for lack of better description), etc... ever been in the game?
Again, I am new to The Show (never liked how Baseball played on consoles before playing this) and do not know the previous players in game.

It is an intriguing question of how these players are selected, under what criteria and how they are negotiated with or on behalf of for their inclusion/exclusion. Especially the ones whom have passed away and the ones with checkered pasts. Also, possibly disagreeing with SDS regarding their player rating..?

Dykstra was on 18

In 1985 pitchers were better than today based on ERA

Meanwhile I’m gonna be sweating on br probably taking at least 2 months to get a 12-0 lol

If the skill gap is not a random set of algorithms in Br you have a good shot at doing it pretty quickly.

@MrGamebred said in When will the show 20 marketplace open?:

Any stub making tips early on when the market first opens? Is it inflated and how long? Never played on the market early on in the year..

Super inflated the first couple days. Diamonds going for 50k+ and golds 5-10k, depending on the card. Only time of the year ripping endless packs is the way to go

So if I decide to sell all my preorder cards; it's better for me to buy packs instead of investing in possible upgrades?

Also, what's the chance that Common, Bronze, and Silver players will be possible to obtain at QS values?

Diamond will be 20-30 k golds over 10k silvers 1-3 k and bronze 500+ for a week or more after launch, it is probably the best time to buy packs all year, once April comes there will be enough cards in circulation that prices will start to normalize ( # of packs bought, rewards given , flashbacks/legends released greatly affects this timetable) hard to predict just how long 19 had a much smaller window than 18 with the amount of launch content and the preorder diamonds.
