    This game is not pay to win

    You didn't read the post

    Ummm a lot of those 99 cards say different because u only get them by turning in team sets at 30 teams and most cost you in the 100k range or more to complete yeah I say buying cards has an advantage but yes I understand we get the stars cards the exp cards and the FOTF cards at cheap prices if we are skilled enough to beat the challenges but the man is right 7-24 but has mantle Biggio and Sheffield already 2 weeks end u spent freaking money and u can't tell me they didn't otherwise..

    Punctuation exists for a reason

    Thank you grammar police

    You’re welcome. It turns incoherent rambling into an actually readable paragraph.

    well let me know if I misspelled anything too.I don't want you to hurt yourself reading my comments..I'll try and work on the punctuations won't promise anything like SDS did though so please don't hold your breath on this...

    One period between sentences is good, you don’t need two.

    Also, that ellipsis at the end is unnecessary.

    I'm getting so tired of going against these guys in the 500s with a 19-17 record that have every card in the game, including Mantle. They get bailed out simply by having cards with attributes that are far superior to that of a NMS team.
    I'm tired of losing by 1 or 2 runs to guys that I'm clearly more skilled than, but they have $300 to spend on a [censored] video game. I'm not a WS player, by any means, but I made CS twice last year after starting in October, so I know I'm not total trash.
    Anybody else have an opinion on how much easier this game becomes when you can just outspend everyone else?

    I just beat a guy with every top diamond in the game last night, 6-2, so my guess is it doesn't become any easier because good cards cant make you hit a fastball, curveball or pitch very well.

    all he is saying is that a bad player gets more room for error with great cards than maybe someone with decent cards and is actually the better player because those cards help make up for maybe said person's lack of skill..

    but they don't, if you cant time a fastball or drop the PCI on every pitch, that mantle card isn't going to do much good for you, If you can't time the meter to get a good release on a pitch or even know the basics of pitching, changing speeds, working north-south, east-west...that Kluber card isn't going to help you very much.

    So you're saying a card with better contact, better power, and a larger PCI (again, more room for error) does not make it easier to make contact or hit a homerun? That's asinine.

    In all star everyone makes contact, when you get to HOF and legend you actually have to be decent at the game to have success with any card in the game, so sure, those cards might help you get to CS, but once you're there its on you to remain there, those cards aren't going to help you much.

    I get what your saying yes it's true..That doesn't mean Joe Smoe can't luck up a time or two and when he does it just happens to be the straw that broke the camels back so to speak..Heck luck plays a part in this game to but if you take the great card from a bad player his chances become minimal and less likely to occur without the help from a great card..

    As I said before I just played a guy or girl last night with every high diamond in the game, I struck him out 13 times, he hit two solo shots and they were my fault I completely served him those two solo's but other than that he had more infield pop outs than hits. I have 4 Diamonds in my line up and 3 diamond pitchers, all of them are the cheap prospect cards and a FOTF Torres, I also have more homeruns with gold mike moustakous than I do with any of those diamond hitters. So sure, attributes can help when it comes to the RNG roll but they aren't the be all end all of the game.

    This is exactly what I'm saying. When your margin for error is 10% larger (89 OVR vs 99 OVR) than your opponent, it makes for a not very fun experience.

    all those attributes do is give you a better chance at the RNG roll, they aren't the be all end all of the game, you still have to be skilled enough to maximize their attributes.

    What's the point of having cards with higher attributes if it doesn't mean anything? I guess the best players in the world could easily make WS with an all common team, right?

    Still waiting for you to confirm that elite players can make WS with all commons, since juiced cards don't mean anything. 🙂

    I'm agreeing with you for the most part.I feel your pain even been there done that.It's just a part of the game u have to adapt to.unfortunately we can't overcome every obstacle with this game.It happens that's life.I suck at the game this is my 1st yr playing RS I'm 8-4 and I have an all diamond squad but not the great ones Sandberg is my 99 along with Kluber and 93 Oswalt the rest LS players and no Mike Trout which I'm depressed about lol. Just keep playing and do what you do.At the end of the day it's just a game..

    What don't you understand about what I am saying, first of all no one is going to world series with an all common team because the game gifts you diamonds just for playing, second, attributes contribute to the outcome of the RNG roll, but guess what if you can't get the PCI on the ball those stats dont matter, and even if the PCI is large enough for you to get it on the ball you need to square it up. Its the same with pitching, /9's factor into the RNG roll but if my opponent cant hit the ball it doesn't matter.

    Stop pocket watching and get better at the game, one thing I have learned from this forum is that all of you want this game to be easy.

    100% incorrect, in so many facets, with the most substantial issue being I do NOT want this game to be easy. I admitted in my original post that I don't consider myself a top player, especially since I've only played DD for about 5 months now. My entire point is that this game is far too easy and forgiving for people willing to spend hundreds of dollars on this game. The fact that you're admitting that nobody could make WS with all commons proves my point. I just lost a game by 2 runs to a guy that was a 90 bronze but had every card available. What bailed him out? 99 Mantle getting a late/okay homerun. I struck him out 14 times over the course of the game. He clearly was less skilled than I was. But he bought his way to victory. THAT is my issue. I have no problem losing to a guy that's getting perfect/perfect all game. I DO have a problem with someone winning because they literally bought their way to the top.

Just keep playing and do what you do.At the end of the day it's just a game..

    I got Trout last year as a post game reward after a loss and couldn't hit with him to save my life, some 99 cards and high diamonds don't play well for some people, which again points to some skill being involved. A opponent with all the best cards in the game can be intimidating but it doesn't mean they are gauranteed to win.

    I'm getting so tired of going against these guys in the 500s with a 19-17 record that have every card in the game, including Mantle. They get bailed out simply by having cards with attributes that are far superior to that of a NMS team.
    I'm tired of losing by 1 or 2 runs to guys that I'm clearly more skilled than, but they have $300 to spend on a [censored] video game. I'm not a WS player, by any means, but I made CS twice last year after starting in October, so I know I'm not total trash.
    Anybody else have an opinion on how much easier this game becomes when you can just outspend everyone else?

    I just beat a guy with every top diamond in the game last night, 6-2, so my guess is it doesn't become any easier because good cards cant make you hit a fastball, curveball or pitch very well.

    all he is saying is that a bad player gets more room for error with great cards than maybe someone with decent cards and is actually the better player because those cards help make up for maybe said person's lack of skill..

    but they don't, if you cant time a fastball or drop the PCI on every pitch, that mantle card isn't going to do much good for you, If you can't time the meter to get a good release on a pitch or even know the basics of pitching, changing speeds, working north-south, east-west...that Kluber card isn't going to help you very much.

    What's the point of having cards with higher attributes if it doesn't mean anything? I guess the best players in the world could easily make WS with an all common team, right?

    Still waiting for you to confirm that elite players can make WS with all commons, since juiced cards don't mean anything. 🙂

    What don't you understand about what I am saying, first of all no one is going to world series with an all common team because the game gifts you diamonds just for playing, second, attributes contribute to the outcome of the RNG roll, but guess what if you can't get the PCI on the ball those stats dont matter, and even if the PCI is large enough for you to get it on the ball you need to square it up. Its the same with pitching, /9's factor into the RNG roll but if my opponent cant hit the ball it doesn't matter.

    Stop pocket watching and get better at the game, one thing I have learned from this forum is that all of you want this game to be easy.

    100% incorrect, in so many facets, with the most substantial issue being I do NOT want this game to be easy. I admitted in my original post that I don't consider myself a top player, especially since I've only played DD for about 5 months now. My entire point is that this game is far too easy and forgiving for people willing to spend hundreds of dollars on this game. The fact that you're admitting that nobody could make WS with all commons proves my point. I just lost a game by 2 runs to a guy that was a 90 bronze but had every card available. What bailed him out? 99 Mantle getting a late/okay homerun. I struck him out 14 times over the course of the game. He clearly was less skilled than I was. But he bought his way to victory. THAT is my issue. I have no problem losing to a guy that's getting perfect/perfect all game. I DO have a problem with someone winning because they literally bought their way to the top.

    ok, so how did I beat a silver level 23 with mantle jackson soto kluber, name a high diamond dude had it in his line up in his rotation and his bullpen? I had mitch keller on the mound and have 4 diamonds in my line up...how did I beat such a formidable team 6-2? and held him to 4 hits? I mean its pay to win right? so how did I take him yard in the 3rd, and 5th inning...he had one of the best pitchers in the game, no way my pitiful mike moustakous should be able to go yard.

    Stop caring how other people spend money.
    Man up, take responsibility for your losses.

    But you won't, you want, no you need that excuse on why you lost, it's not your fault, it's never your fault!

    You didn't read the post

    I did. You’re complaining about people spending money, and saying that’s the only reason they are beating you.

    Lots of people could buy the best cards in the game and still not make it very far. The free cards are just as good as purchasable cards in most cases.

    So no, this game is not pay to win.

    LOL Round 2 buddy here we go a new night a new subject (head into wall)

    its sad to be honest with all that is going on in the world - baseball is escapism for most of us - i just keep muting these children and clown posters - eventually it comes down to a core group of you guys which are cool and post great / useful content

    lol. This post is funny to me. This is like the Rays or Orioles complaining about the Red Sox and Yankees spending too much money to have a good team. If you don't like your team, pay up for players. Otherwise, find ways to get good players other ways.
