That's the end of the current season

@eatyum said in Best Starting Pitchers to use:

Kluber and Newhouser are obv really good.

I've had good initial success with Kyle Right, small sample size though, 3 starts 1.74 ERA.

Forrest Whitley has been good too, 83.1 innings 3.13 ERA.

I keep thinking about Kopech or Whitley however I got Kluber Newhouser Oswalt DeGrom and Schmidt.

@bsmith4263 said in Have the developers ever played baseball?:

They make a functional game that makes money. That is all that matters, If you truly want change there would need to be a huge dip in playing and stub purchasing, mainly stub purchasing. People complain about gameplay constantly but they continue to spend money and fund it.

Yes they spend money on it. Meaning they can say WHATEVER they want about it. Stop talking nonsense as if SDS need defending.

It’s also ironic because last year he had a signature card that was almost 100k less than his LS.

It's in settings... You have to press R1 or R2 to flip over to advanced settings. Look harder..

@Nats19Champions said in This game is not playabale online:

Online play has become an embarrassment. Last night I "lost" 2 games because of 1) An insanely bad call and 2) A server freeze while I was winning handily. Why in God's name would the winning team get a loss when the server goes down? Makes absolutely no sense. I'm so disappointed in the online version of this game.

Me too, SDS will never figure out online game play. Its the Achilles heel of the franchise. It also keeps them form greatness.

How do you form greatness?

Probably my son. He’s five and scared of baseballs. He also doesn’t like being in the sun for longer than 30 minutes. But, his dad really loves baseball. So, he’ll probably be the next Mike Trout.

Nice gamer tag

I'm an idiot I thought I had. Just went and finished them. Thanks for the help!

No you cant.

@slipkid69 said in Can someone provide an honest and detailed explanation for lag in MLB parks?:

It’s not lag but actually drops in the frame rates at times.

This^

If you play a game at Minute Maid then immediately play at shippett, you’ll be able to tell the difference pretty easily.

@nflman2033 said in My take on SHOWDOWN:

I am beating stage 1 SDs more now than before, and you know what... I still hate the mode, still do not find it fun in anyway.

Nothing about DD is really fun, except for the DD League I play in. I do like Showdown from the standpoint of I've only played 1 RS game but not suffered in the stub department.

I do enough online to get program stars and that's it. TA is a treasure trove for free stubs and packs.

What is "TA"?

@Oppo_Tacoz said in How do I put a starting pitcher in my bullpen?:

When you go to your bullpen hit R1 and it will go from your bullpen list to starters list then just warm one of them up. That's what I do with Klubot now. I never start him, just 7-8-9 inning closer if I have a good lead.

I love when people do that lol, I’ve seen Kluber so much I kill him.

Posey has been so good for me, mainly contact wise. I haven’t even considered Sandberg because I have 99 Biggio already.

Yeah the pitches on Legend on conquest look and feel different than showdown.

They have to do something with packs, they’re just awful.

Real life packs have lots of things to pull. Autos, Relics, Parallels, Numbered, Redemption cards, Chrome, Etc Etc. They could definitely add more incentive to buy standard packs other than just hoping to pull a diamond player, and it’s only the high diamonds that get you excited.

If you want to compare it to real life packs, how about they use real life odds? 1:23000?

Sure, just make the item worth it. For odds like that it’s got to be at least 75 inning points, at least. Can’t have that high of odds for garbage.

@mrKoala123 said in Finally got trout:

Been saving up for a few weeks and finally pulled the trigger this morning for 315K. He’s slowly climbed up and up each day it seems and I couldn’t afford to wait any longer. I don’t plan on doing the collections as I still need the major diamonds for each league so I hope his price continues to skyrocket and I can use him as a bank source later on in the game to purchase new cards if need be

I got verlander and Cole this week and the price is the same. I hope the market doesn’t crash. I don’t know what would cause that, but...that’s a lot of stubs to lose. Either way, just play with him and enjoy it. If you made 300k in a week, I think you’ll be okay.

Yep, same thing happened to me last night. MLB The Show online is currently set up to reward cheaters and punish people like us who play the game the right way. And then trolls on these boards say "it's your fault" or "you're not good enough." Complete garbage.

This is actually a hilarious idea. I swear my wife and kids think I’m a serial killer based on the things that come out of my mouth when I play this game. My poor kids have heard words they didn’t even know exist.

This is one of the inherent issues with the game. Pitch speeds should not differ based on what mode you play. All star should be all star and Hof should be Hof regardless of the modes. There’s so much switching around of pitch speeds in moments, RS, Showdowns, etc, not to mention the wonky timing windows. It’s bizarre they would choose this path. Just no consistency to speak of.
