You know what's part of the problem with this game?
-
The cards are free no need to complain, No need to be in a rush to finish the XP path. If the follow years past the XP path will be more than 650 the other years games the first few inning programs were pretty short. I think here soon they will expand it to around 900 like they did in the 19 and 20. I do like the prospect cards in the US Map when you complete a Div.
-
I’m honestly glad the XP path is gone. They have been the reason for lack of card diversity the two previous years.
Played Kershaw and Nolan Ryan 60% of 19.
Played Kluber and Newhouser 80% of 20 (often in the same game). Granted that also falls on SDS for not nerfing pitcher stamina regeneration but still.I do miss having that constant grind to work towards but I definitely don’t miss it at all as far as the rewards go.
I have over 600k stubs sitting around and I’m NMS. Certainly can’t complain about the freebies this year.

TBH, the game only has a few months left until it is considered "dead" usually casuals switch to Madden or 2K around the end of August or Sept and only people who play after that are people like Healy. I would rather SDS throw all of the best rewards at us early so more people can enjoy them, vs waiting until November when most causals have moved on to other games.
I would imagine if they put at 42 series player at the end of the 3rd inning program more people would play and be closer to Jackie, vs a useless 5k diamond card.
I do thank you for the positive and constructive discussion alot more then I can say about this issue on Twitter

Or you could just ignore what other people say about the game

I normally do and should have continued to do so but something g just really rubbed me the wrong way.
After seeing the response on Twitter it pretty much proved my thoughts of a segment of this community.
I have cut off my access to the streamers and unfollowed all of them as I they belive some of them have become a negative influence on this game. I see their value however when every third player is streaming and there are 85 videos for roster predictions it's over saturated

The servers are the only legitimate gripe that people can have. and being able to hit homers 6 inches outside of the strike zone. there is no penalty for that
I think in real life someone can hit a HR 6" off the plate. Let's get real now.
Its not that they cant in real life either but when I give up 6 hits in a game and 2 are 6 inches out of the zone and they are hit for a homer. The pitch is thrown to draw a swing from the batter and they are rewarded with a homer

Yes SDS is accountable for fixing the game for issues like the freezing and servers that are basically elements for making the game work.
But this community also needs to understand that not everything is about them and those in a postion to have a voice need to be accountable that they cant spit off on every time there are in game rewards that don't give the biggest pay day or make their God squad you know cause their should be 100 God squad players to fill 9 starting spots.
you touched on exactly the issue i bring up on here to random idiots all the time - way too many people today think their voice and opinion actually means something when most are just non-contributing zeros

Sorry, i posted that on mine on accident lol. I disagree, the STALE content that we have now with the overuse of "Moments", "Inning program", and "Conquest" is because everyone gives SDS A+ for content when it has been stale for years. We need people like Healy to tell them when they are doing things wrong so they can improve, or we will be getting poor rewards next year and following and no improvement. You can be grateful and critical at the same time.
Nah it’s because SDS is A+ on the content. They make EA look like a bunch of lazy asses as far as content drop go and 2k matches them in content amount but they are all pack all day.

Thats not true, they've recycled the same idea over and over...

Vlad Sr used to take it off the dirt or 3 feet outside. Especially against the Mets. He was a MutT killer like Griff Jr was a Yankee killer. Found a link, check it out. He hits it anywhere

Ridiculous he was and the locations he would rip a hit from.

SDS listened to the fans during 17, and thats what led to the abomination that was 18 with its slow pitch speeds.

Yes, but remember, he was contact-swinging.
-
My main issue right now as an offline player is the [censored] check swings. I know I've checked but they've programmed to allow 1 check swing per 100 attempts yet the CPU gets unlimited checks.
Also, playing at lower difficulties is such a hassle. I'm not sure if it's just me, but 95% of the pitches I receive are in the dirt or at the lower part of the zone. It just gets so stupid because if you want to hit the ball, it's going to be a ground out. Ugh.
-
I just want a high socks diamond lefty for my pen, that’s all I ask of SDS
-
The meta this year is incredibly annoying. Sinker ballers who throw 200 mph and Chapman. Plus, this year at-em balls off excellent contact are at an all-time high while contact swing BS is present.
In a darkly ironic twist, this year's game -- as much as I loathe it -- plays like real baseball in 2021. Strikeouts or homeruns.
MLB is going to take drastic steps to fix the game. I hope SDS does the same.

That's not the argument. The argument is that you are giving away something at qs value at the end of june. That's an ok award the first two programs but by the third when they have already devalued the 85 to 89 with an event then it's not. The end should be something to look forward to ie 90+ pack or even a 42 series or heck 20k stubs would be better than a 5k qs 4 months into the game. If you play this game with any regularity then there is no reason to not have chipper done by now so the 85 to 89 pack is just a copy and paste method to the rewards that they were already giving.

This is the world in general, no one is forcing to pay attention/listen to anyone. Just do you my friend.
