The reason they made them online only is to force players to pay for PS plus if you want to get the best cards in the game. I have played more online this year than last year but that is because if not you are having to play teams on all star for 9 inning games just to get 8 points towards a players programs plus then you have program stars tied directly towards those players for online play online.
This all boils down to the fact that SDS is sony and they get money for people playing online.
Not even close to being true lmao. Best cards in the game? I would take Regular mickey mantle over every single card in the game other than his prestige. I would take non prestigable Dibble and Chapman over prestige Rivera in a heartbeat. ITS JUST + 3 to ATTRIBUTES, they are not that much better than their regular versions
But in order to get the prestige mantle you have to play online. That is what I am saying

To be clear I’m not arguing that it should be for online players only to get prestige cards, I hope they switch it to where you can do either just to shut some people up around here. I’m disputing the fact that they are the best cards in the game. The prestige versions are just the regular ones with a red sticker in the corner

I just think that offline players miss the stat grind that 17 and 18 gave us.
Prestiging players allows them to have that, they get to see the numbers pile up rather than grinding out innings for TA.
I was a mostly offline player, but I jumped into the event and I got hooked on racking up stats with guys like Mantle, Walker, and Sheff. So, I can see the appeal. And not everyone is good enough, confident enough or simply do not want to play online. -
It was a bad idea from the beginning. I'm fine with having to get more stats than what the online ones are, but I accepted it from day one that I'd never prestige one of those players with it being online. I might could get a pitcher...maybe..., but the batters, I suck too bad to ever get those amounts of hits and rbi's etc.

I read that thinking that prestige Mantle>Mantle, prestige Rivera>Rivera, etc. So I would say that they are they best versions of those players cards.
In order to use the best version of Mantle, you have to play online. That's how I read it. (Personally, I dont think the +3 is that huge of a deal, but people want to use the best versions of the cards)

Very true some prestige cards are going to play better than others I would say prestige Walker is going to be better than prestige Snider.

And I get that, but iv’e said from the get-go that the mistake wasn’t necessarily that prestige was online only, but it was making them separate cards. If you got a +3 boost that worked like IE on these cards I don’t think we would be having these discussions. The problem is that people are brainwashed to think for example a 99 dante bichette is better than the 97 Bichette when the fact is the +3 for contact, vision, discipline, bunting, drag bunt, arm accuracy/strength, reaction, and speed/stealing don’t do anything but boost a players overall. The +3 to fielding is helpful only when a card jumps a tier in fielding( which is most of the time but a 76 to a 79 wouldn’t be useful). +3 to power only makes a difference to the weirdos that think 80 power is a requirement to be useful

And now apparently stats aren’t even registering for Ortiz (something that is far more important when stats are online only)

It is time for SDS to admit that having the prestige grinds be online only was a big mistake and move them to any mode (ie offline included) within the next update or two. The prestige grind has completely ruined events with a huge swath of people playing just for prestige (ie hitting and quitting, pitching and quitting, or just outright asking for stats), which has taken the fun out of events and made them into nothing more than grinding opportunities.
The idea that it takes more skill and/or time to prestige a card online went out the window as soon as these cards were included in events and thus allowing people who prefer to play offline wouldn’t change any dynamic in the prestige process other than to clean up events AND likely make a ton of their customers very happy.
Forcing people to play online to prestige cards didn’t work and it’s past time to rectify this mistake and move all these grinds to any mode.
What's that you say? Sds ruining something?

One big ol boosting party

This post is the best I’ve seen in weeks. This morning I played 5 event games and all 5 opponents had names of 3XBH and I quit! Or message me begging me for stats. Just play the [censored] game!!!!!

This, right here, is exactly the reason they made the decision they did.

Victor shows up in minutes for someone complaining about lag but complete silence on this since launch. Terrible.

I think prestiging online is how it should be, but the dashboarding issue needs to be fixed for it to remain like that.
Agreed it needs to stay online because otherwise these guys who are complaining will just play Rookie difficulty vs the Orioles and prestige everyone in a day or two

Power swing on rookie vs the orioles is basically an automatic hr so it would take like 5 hours to get a card prestiged lol

You mean like the people who had the new FoTF prestiged in a matter of hours in the event? I really don’t see the difference. This isn’t the same math as we had in 18, where the grinds were by position, being specific to a player means even offline it will take a long time (likely far longer than the give me hr and I’ll quit crowd) and if you are trying to prestige several players at once you will likely be better off playing out games than quitting, which will take even longer. Finally, who cares. It is highly likely that you are never going to play against the person who plays offline anyways.

I hit a hr off Chapman in the event with Biggio guy dashboards. It was a back and forth game really fun it’s just sucks too many people don’t let hrs land.

It has been mentioned many times, but the requirements dont have to be the same. 2-3x the stats for offline, or only allowing offline prestige to be on higher difficulties.
This constant handwringing over how quickly players would get them done is stupid anyway. It already happens online in events.

If you don’t want to play online then why would u give 2 shiiittsss if a card is prestige. The amount of people who complain about this. If you just play the cpu it makes zero difference if a guy gets plus 3 stats

Thats not really what this is about though. It's about events being ruined by this garbage.
