You think this game is going strong? Lol. I’m guessing PlayStation gave up exclusive rights because of how strong it was going?

Every year the game is outselling the year before. They are going cross platform for one simple fact. Money. There is no baseball game on Xbox and will make close to double the money just by going there. Why is that hard to see? It's a good business move. Doesn't take away from how many people are playing the game mid July

Hmm but other games aren’t. Yet they aren’t on Xbox. Whatever makes you feel better though.
I do think TA3s will be strong players and TA program plus showdown was a great addition. I just like to take opportunities to call out the people doing a terrible job.

I think Sony agreed to make MLBTS for third parties to strongly hold onto what they have. The have a monopoly on the MLB baseball game market why allow another player to enter and allow them to impact your bottom line. In this case Sony agreed to make for other console in a move that will in all likely hood double if not triple there revenues on the game

What does it have to do with me feeling better? It's pretty simple really. Money is what a game company is after and they are going to make more doing this. Do you really think this is the only one that this will happen to? Not really sure why it's so hard to see.
In MLB 18 and 19, the worst games before this one, was there still loads of players playing the game in July? Every time I tried to play a game, there is people playing and rarely play the same one twice. What do I know though? At least after posting, I feel better

Plus, Sony still makes the game, owns the license, and will make more money from this deal.

Lol what other games? There is no other sports game that is console specific and anything that is console specific, isn’t a yearly release and doesn’t have the ability to outsell itself. Everybody else makes it look easy to call this game out while you do a terrible job.

I'd rather us get a Trevor Story Silver Slugger card. Just please, no more prospects. Shovel face has overstayed his welcome, 15-19 is long enough for Dante to represent the Rockies. We got Helton which is awesome, and I think his SS card will be the final in the Rockies affinity (with a Nolan Platinum Glove along the way) but I'm okay with not getting Dante.
I'll take Walker and Galarraga tho. Or he'll give me a silver Ryan Spilbourgh

It's funny people think it's going multi platform because of anything other than their overlords wanted it to be.

I wanted to take a second and let you know that I not only appreciate your affinity for math metal and death metal, but for how well you always format your posts

TS 19 was the best selling baseball video game in history and 2020 already beat that in April. Yeah you can say the "stay at home" stuff is a reason for the higher sales this year, but considering 19 was such a great seller I am pretty sure 20 was gonna beat it anyways. So yeah, more people are playing this game then ever. And every year there is a considerable fall off from March/April to August/Sept. That is just normal for any game.

Ummmm, San Diego Studios is an arm of Sony. It’s owned by SIE. They didn’t sell the franchise, they’re still making the game. I think you’re confused.

How about a Vinny Castilla?
But otherwise, what world have I been transported to where Kendall and Michael Young had seasons worthy of 96 rated cards?

Thank you for that. I'm glad someone appreciates the time I take to make sure my posts are at least visually pleasing and not just thrown together.
... and I love when people comment on my screenname. It's such an old handle that I've used since I was like 13 or 14 (I'm 30 now) for everything, but my love for Dillinger still remains.

Honestly, those were two teams I was really struggling with. SDS doesn't have the rights (at least, that we know of) to use some of the bigger names in the Pirates and Rangers history.
For Texas, SDS just lost the rights to Adrian Beltre and Ian Kinsler, either one would be perfect for this hypothetical TA stage. While it is possible they'd give Nolan Ryan another card -- I just didn't find that to be very exciting. The same could be said for Pudge, but I think his chances of being included are much lower considering he has the Evolution card. I wish they had the rights to Josh Hamilton or Prince Fielder but alas, they're not available.
With those players not available or unlikely to make sense in this program, that leaves Elvis Andrus, and lets be honest, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who thinks he deserves a 95 overall Flashback; and the other potential candidate, Yu Darvish. The more I think about it, I think Darvish should be the choice but for whatever reason, I must have thought Michael Young would be a more popular choice.
The Pirates, in my opinion, were much harder to find a suitable candidate. I narrowed my pick down to Andrew McCutchen, Dave Parker, Bill Mazeroski, and Jason Kendall -- and since I didn't include a catcher for any of the other teams, I thought Jason Kendall would make for a pretty good choice.

For Wsox i am really hoping for a Frank Thomas or Albert Belle... Dont need another Mark Buehrle and dont want the A's version of Frank being the only version in this years game.
