I agree about the 11th inning program. It was fun for me to be strategic about my lineups to achieve those stat missions in conquest, and got good rewards for doing it. I think that just having innings as the only stat requirement for T affinity is boring. I’m also ok with moments, except for the tuning was super off on them and I thought your innings should count towards DD stats and TA. I wouldn’t mind seeing stat missions come back in part, but the full your lineup with 3rd basemen and play a half an inning on rookie is something I hope to never have to repeat.

It's complicated with offline grind, on one hand, I enjoyed getting some stats, but overall, it was a drag playing at Coors/Rookie on repeat.
for me offline grinds were absolutely THE WORST
i only love playing online because like you said - who the F wants to repeat Coors on CPU all day absolute death of the game was 18 in that regard

It always puzzles me with these type of posts and the other end of the spectrum that turn their nose at DD and those that play it Like, guys there is a middle ground.
It's a troll post, #1 who is scared to play online? #2 Franchise is nothing like DD so not sure how that is a substitute. #3 SDS largely ignores franchise so clearly they want us to play DD.
I dont play online because I hate people, people with [censored] poor attitudes, basically guys like this troll. Here on the forums I can block him, but you can block people all you want on PSN and still get matched up with them.
Not trying to start anything but what do you mean by people with poor attitudes? Like how they play the game?
Cheese players exploiting every AI issue, then getting messages from people who when I get lucky and win a game and told I am a terrible player who should have lost and only won because I had all immortals. And with messages off they send a friend request with their toxic message. I can go on and on, I know you all love H2H, but you guys take winning and losing too seriously like it's the end of the world to take a loss. So I don't play, it's not worth it. Yes it's not every game. And if there wasnt cheesers or bad attitude guys I'd probably feel different. but I am also not buying a monitor to gain an advantage either. Oh and let's not even talk about lead offs.
Seems like you had a bad experience in years past. All you have to do is turn messages on for Friends only, no messages can be sent to you and there will always be cheesier but harder to do in 19.

yes indeed - only friends list for msg's - i found most of the baseball online gamers played very nicely this past year - lots of good sportsmanship - if 1 person out of 10 games is horrible, then 10% is very low for the clown rate..... THE CLOWN RATE lol

Good for you, it is not an enjoyable experience and have no reason to keep putting myself in those situations. What bothers me is that I can block these people and still get matched up with them. At least on TSN when I deal with online tough guys I can block them and they are gone forever.

1 in 10 isnt that rare if you are playing 100s of games each year. Especially when you play events that are 3 to 6 innings. If I need 50 event wins it will take me 80 to 90 games that's at least 8 to 9 knuckleheads. At least with events when I get matched up with a guy who wants to steal every base and take a step lead every time and I step off for 5 minutes. i can quit lose my streak and move on. But RS is the worst nothing aggravates me more than the thought of a 9 inning game against a cheeser.

ok big differences here though if you are going to be specific about the modes -
EVENTS - who cares to just Q a game if someone is annoying? the rankings there? who cares right. i Q all the time in events if something is annoying me, it means nothing and i usually rake in there anyways
Ranked Seasons - i did 164 games this year (tried to make it like a real season) - i don't play hundreds of games for this to make a difference

That is still 16. If I could block them and never play them again, I'd probably go back. But they cant do that because people would block elite players.
So my solution is simple. i dont play people online H2H any more. It isnt any less fun, but it limits what I can achieve. I am locked out of certain cards because of it. I do not ask them to make changes for the game for me, I would like them to make it is so I have an opportunity to get those same cards, even if its via market. I also dont ask them to make things specific to offline so you guys dont have to grind endless hours on rookie. I just don't liked to be put down for playing the game in a different way than you do.

everything you said i agree with except your last sentence - no one is putting you down on the contrary my past msg's to you says by all means whatever you enjoy play it - you are not the target of the "whiney boy offline" persona here - i get everything you are saying

Hopefully they get rid of all offline grinds for DD. If your scared to play online do franchise.
It always puzzles me with these type of posts and the other end of the spectrum that turn their nose at DD and those that play it Like, guys there is a middle ground.
It's a troll post, #1 who is scared to play online? #2 Franchise is nothing like DD so not sure how that is a substitute. #3 SDS largely ignores franchise so clearly they want us to play DD.
I dont play online because I hate people, people with [censored] poor attitudes, basically guys like this troll. Here on the forums I can block him, but you can block people all you want on PSN and still get matched up with them.
Not trying to start anything but what do you mean by people with poor attitudes? Like how they play the game?
Cheese players exploiting every AI issue, then getting messages from people who when I get lucky and win a game and told I am a terrible player who should have lost and only won because I had all immortals. And with messages off they send a friend request with their toxic message. I can go on and on, I know you all love H2H, but you guys take winning and losing too seriously like it's the end of the world to take a loss. So I don't play, it's not worth it. Yes it's not every game. And if there wasnt cheesers or bad attitude guys I'd probably feel different. but I am also not buying a monitor to gain an advantage either. Oh and let's not even talk about lead offs.
Seems like you had a bad experience in years past. All you have to do is turn messages on for Friends only, no messages can be sent to you and there will always be cheesier but harder to do in 19.
I did, they sent a friend request with the message to get around the fact I had messages off.
No I have had a lot of bad experiences playing H2H.
i did get that a couple times this past year - not a big deal though words mean nothing when its random like that just a quick delete button they gone forever
Good for you, it is not an enjoyable experience and have no reason to keep putting myself in those situations. What bothers me is that I can block these people and still get matched up with them. At least on TSN when I deal with online tough guys I can block them and they are gone forever.
That's why I'm blocked huh

too bad that's your experience mate. for me its around 1 in 10 games i don't keep track but the bad ones are rare
1 in 10 isnt that rare if you are playing 100s of games each year. Especially when you play events that are 3 to 6 innings. If I need 50 event wins it will take me 80 to 90 games that's at least 8 to 9 knuckleheads. At least with events when I get matched up with a guy who wants to steal every base and take a step lead every time and I step off for 5 minutes. i can quit lose my streak and move on. But RS is the worst nothing aggravates me more than the thought of a 9 inning game against a cheeser.
ok big differences here though if you are going to be specific about the modes -
EVENTS - who cares to just Q a game if someone is annoying? the rankings there? who cares right. i Q all the time in events if something is annoying me, it means nothing and i usually rake in there anyways
Ranked Seasons - i did 164 games this year (tried to make it like a real season) - i don't play hundreds of games for this to make a difference
That is still 16. If I could block them and never play them again, I'd probably go back. But they cant do that because people would block elite players.
So my solution is simple. i dont play people online H2H any more. It isnt any less fun, but it limits what I can achieve. I am locked out of certain cards because of it. I do not ask them to make changes for the game for me, I would like them to make it is so I have an opportunity to get those same cards, even if its via market. I also dont ask them to make things specific to offline so you guys dont have to grind endless hours on rookie. I just don't liked to be put down for playing the game in a different way than you do.
everything you said i agree with except your last sentence - no one is putting you down on the contrary my past msg's to you says by all means whatever you enjoy play it - you are not the target of the "whiney boy offline" persona here - i get everything you are saying
"Offline nerds" not highly offensive, but a bit derogatory.

Just making sure, I might have been overly sensitive at the moment I read it.

I have no desire to ruin other people game playing experience, probably what bothers me about being told I suck because I had all immortals. I keep coming back to that one because it was the last time I played RS.

I understand many many people are jerks, and maybe it's not my place to offer you advice, but at least imo, F what people think about me you know? I just laugh if I get a message like that, and I've gotten some real harsh ones, including ones telling me to off myself
It used to bother me, (and honestly occasionally it does, especially if it is along the lines of my previous example), but I try to not live where I care if people insult me. Maybe you are not doing that, you just know your limits and I can respect that.
Like I said, I'm not consistent, it still does at times, and I don't want to tell you how to live your life, if you feel it's not worth the headache, then that's the right decision for you. Playing offline is just as legit as playing online, and I do wish there were more offline content, (like maybe a bit harder type of conquest? I loved the variety of maps, but most were pretty simple).

I intend to stay far away from H2H, unless there is a Reds card that can only be had by playing online. I played a lot online in 17, mostly the events so I could sell the rewards for stubs, but on 18 the souvineers were stub making machines and so it was easy to stay away. I didn't play 19 in an attempt to save my marriage, well that is no longer a concern so I'll play 20, but no clue how I'll make stubs outside of the normal market flips. I dont even have PS plus anymore because I dont play any game but the show.

Hopefully they get rid of all offline grinds for DD. If your scared to play online do franchise.
It always puzzles me with these type of posts and the other end of the spectrum that turn their nose at DD and those that play it Like, guys there is a middle ground.
It's a troll post, #1 who is scared to play online? #2 Franchise is nothing like DD so not sure how that is a substitute. #3 SDS largely ignores franchise so clearly they want us to play DD.
I dont play online because I hate people, people with [censored] poor attitudes, basically guys like this troll. Here on the forums I can block him, but you can block people all you want on PSN and still get matched up with them.
Not trying to start anything but what do you mean by people with poor attitudes? Like how they play the game?
Cheese players exploiting every AI issue, then getting messages from people who when I get lucky and win a game and told I am a terrible player who should have lost and only won because I had all immortals. And with messages off they send a friend request with their toxic message. I can go on and on, I know you all love H2H, but you guys take winning and losing too seriously like it's the end of the world to take a loss. So I don't play, it's not worth it. Yes it's not every game. And if there wasnt cheesers or bad attitude guys I'd probably feel different. but I am also not buying a monitor to gain an advantage either. Oh and let's not even talk about lead offs.
Seems like you had a bad experience in years past. All you have to do is turn messages on for Friends only, no messages can be sent to you and there will always be cheesier but harder to do in 19.
I did, they sent a friend request with the message to get around the fact I had messages off.
No I have had a lot of bad experiences playing H2H.
i did get that a couple times this past year - not a big deal though words mean nothing when its random like that just a quick delete button they gone forever
Good for you, it is not an enjoyable experience and have no reason to keep putting myself in those situations. What bothers me is that I can block these people and still get matched up with them. At least on TSN when I deal with online tough guys I can block them and they are gone forever.
too bad that's your experience mate. for me its around 1 in 10 games i don't keep track but the bad ones are rare
1 in 10 isnt that rare if you are playing 100s of games each year. Especially when you play events that are 3 to 6 innings. If I need 50 event wins it will take me 80 to 90 games that's at least 8 to 9 knuckleheads. At least with events when I get matched up with a guy who wants to steal every base and take a step lead every time and I step off for 5 minutes. i can quit lose my streak and move on. But RS is the worst nothing aggravates me more than the thought of a 9 inning game against a cheeser.
ok big differences here though if you are going to be specific about the modes -
EVENTS - who cares to just Q a game if someone is annoying? the rankings there? who cares right. i Q all the time in events if something is annoying me, it means nothing and i usually rake in there anyways
Ranked Seasons - i did 164 games this year (tried to make it like a real season) - i don't play hundreds of games for this to make a difference
That is still 16. If I could block them and never play them again, I'd probably go back. But they cant do that because people would block elite players.
So my solution is simple. i dont play people online H2H any more. It isnt any less fun, but it limits what I can achieve. I am locked out of certain cards because of it. I do not ask them to make changes for the game for me, I would like them to make it is so I have an opportunity to get those same cards, even if its via market. I also dont ask them to make things specific to offline so you guys dont have to grind endless hours on rookie. I just don't liked to be put down for playing the game in a different way than you do.
everything you said i agree with except your last sentence - no one is putting you down on the contrary my past msg's to you says by all means whatever you enjoy play it - you are not the target of the "whiney boy offline" persona here - i get everything you are saying
"Offline nerds" not highly offensive, but a bit derogatory.
ok so im an online nerd - its all semantics at this point
Just making sure, I might have been overly sensitive at the moment I read it. It's just a pet peeve of mine when I feel like people are being judged for how they play the game as long as it doesn't affect others. I have no desire to ruin other people game playing experience, probably what bothers me about being told I suck because I had all immortals. I keep coming back to that one because it was the last time I played RS.
I understand many many people are jerks, and maybe it's not my place to offer you advice, but at least imo, F what people think about me you know? I just laugh if I get a message like that, and I've gotten some real harsh ones, including ones telling me to off myself
It used to bother me, (and honestly occasionally it does, especially if it is along the lines of my previous example), but I try to not live where I care if people insult me. Maybe you are not doing that, you just know your limits and I can respect that.
Like I said, I'm not consistent, it still does at times, and I don't want to tell you how to live your life, if you feel it's not worth the headache, then that's the right decision for you. Playing offline is just as legit as playing online, and I do wish there were more offline content, (like maybe a bit harder type of conquest? I loved the variety of maps, but most were pretty simple).
I intend to stay far away from H2H, unless there is a Reds card that can only be had by playing online. I played a lot online in 17, mostly the events so I could sell the rewards for stubs, but on 18 the souvineers were stub making machines and so it was easy to stay away. I didn't play 19 in an attempt to save my marriage, well that is no longer a concern so I'll play 20, but no clue how I'll make stubs outside of the normal market flips. I dont even have PS plus anymore because I dont play any game but the show.
Gotcha, well in 19 there really wasn't an online card that wasn't also obtainable via the market. I remember in 18 there was cards like Immortal Ryne Sandberg there were WS rewards and non-sellable, they did away with that. All WS rewards were sellable. And the market was super easy to work if you got comfortable with it, towards the end I was making 100k-250k an hour flipping.

Yeah, that is what I am hoping for. As long as I can get every Reds card in the game I will be happy, that is the only mission I set for myself. In 18 I wanted all immortals, but didnt get Musial and Sandberg.
