Happy Holidays everyone!
Last night my buy order for Prospect Joe Adell went through allowing me to complete offline DD. I have now completed every player program including extreme for Gehrig, Ruth, Postseason, Monthly etc. I have completed every conquest map, every moment (including cap, Tops Now, etc.) and every collection, including live series (and free agents), equipment , stadiums, every Trout collection and I am 100% on all Stage 4 Team Affinity and have collected every player who can be prestiged, including every inning boss. My only incomplete task in all of DD is the prestige collection which can’t be accomplished as an offline player, save for the 5 I have from the XP reward path. I’ll probably never have the time to do this again in the future. Anyone else complete everything in DD?By the way there should be a forever event which i'm sure you can prestige any player you want so you should be able to do that too.

Only Addel and Rutschman remain for me.
Plus i have every player except for Wagner/ Henderson and prospect Addel in the West division. Just got Vlad last night.
I bought Rutschman a few weeks ago for about 600K, I spent $1 Mil on Adell and also had to spend $200K on Logan Gilbert to finish the prospects collection. It took about 3 weeks to get Addell.

I don't understand playing the game only offline... sounds like a personal confidence issue tbh... the fear of losing or failure, but it's an important fear to overcome, to realize winning and losing are both parts of life and both must be taken in stride. Playing only offline, you are never really challenging yourself. All of the offline modes can be exploited once you've figured out the AI, but you can only get a true game when you play against real human's in direct competition. Plus, there's no real psychological reward for playing offline... there's no feeling that you accomplished something awesome by beating an AI team or scenario that is designed to be beaten. Stop being a wuss and learn to lose so you can enjoy the wins.

That's a bit harsh don't you think. Perhaps just perhaps he doesn't want to play online because of all the toxicity that can come with it. I'm just saying there might be a bit more to it then not challenging himself. Yes I personaly can get wins online but is it worth it to wade through all the opponents who might bunt dance or stall the game out of spite and make it a horrible experience. I do enjoy the occasional game online but I can definitely understand not wanting to play that mode.

He started out with “happy holidays!”... seems like a nice guy. Maybe he doesn’t have fast enough internet, can’t afford a monitor, can’t afford the monthly PS+ fee, etc.

Lmao. Way I see it, he paid for the game just like the rest of us did. Therefore, he’s allowed to play the game however he prefers to, just like every single one of us. Trying to degrade him for simply playing the game how he likes to is rather douche-like in my eyes

I did not mean anything I said in an offensive way, it was entirely about truth, however, point taken, I do not know anyone's financial matters and that could very well have something to do with it, and if it is indeed the case that someone could not play online because of financial constraints, I understand and my comment was insensitive. If it's not the case, however, and someone is too scared of putting themselves out there, so to speak, and fearful of the possibility of suffering a loss (and I am certain this is the case with many on here, I see the frequency of plug pulling that goes on, often mid-flight of a home run), all the more reason to play online and figure out how to overcome adversity. Baseball is a game that subtly teaches many of life's most important lessons, but the only way to learn them is to experience all elements of the game, and one can only get that experience playing against other humans.

A lot of us don't play much DD online because most online gaming is not baseball. it's win at all costs exploiting the game. At least I know the computer will behave more closer to a real MLB manager the way it manages it's pitchers and line up and in game moves during baseball situations more than most people playing online DD.

3 sentences man. That's quite impressive.

Hence, you are missing the important life lessons. Do you think the real world is more like the computer's AI or other humans? If you can be honest with yourself, you will recognize that is an excuse you are telling yourself after you got frustrated, perhaps you played a more skilled player but you perceived them to not actually be better than you, that they had to "exploit the game" to beat you, and you felt [censored] hurt. But, I assure you, you have it all wrong. You are severely limiting what you can get out of this game by not playing against human competition. Once you figure out how to exploit the AI, beating the computer is just mindless grinding. But, when you play online, you've got to figure out how to beat a different opponent every time. Isn't baseball all about winning at all costs within the confines of the rules?
Also, every exploit your opponent may try can backfire as easily as it can work out.

Wow! It’s pretty interesting that you would take this approach with my post considering you don’t know me. So I will enlighten you. I am a retired Air Force Officer with 27 years of service. I am in my high school Hall of Fame for my military service and the fact that I earned 16 varsity letters in high school. I have a Masters Degree and have taught college for the past 12 years. I can assure you that a lack of confidence is something I have never been accused of. The reason I play offline is because I enjoy the solitude and I don’t get upset with people acting like...people act. I simply ask if anyone is like me in setting collection and completion goals in the game to accomplish what they want with the time they put in. I certainly don’t need online video game play to validate myself, and I’ve had plenty of real life competition for one lifetime.

Pay him no mind brotha. I try to complete everything as best I can. Only collection not finished is Prospects and about 5 TA4 conquests maps. I have played 200 online games and am about 10 games over .500. Offline play is more like a simulation than the HR derby RS. So I only play a few RS games here and there because they are beyond frustrating. Hall of Fame and Legend difficulty is not joke offline. Ain’t no one using bunt cheese against the CPU either so I for one don’t exploit it I just play
