When did Oprah Winfrey take over "The Show"?

and you get a 99 and you get a 99 and hey you in the corner you get a 99. It just reached May and this game is more stale than week old popcorn.

Or, as DJ Khaled would say: 'Another one!'
I'm mixed about it for 1 reason: For the last 3 seasons, I had a problem saying goodbye to my God Squad in January or February. I didn't mind the slow grind to get the God Squad, but getting it early is OK as well, but yeah it's weird to have strong teams so early.
SDS can't win, and all the complaints here definitely scare away possible companies that can give SDS some legit competition. I'm sure they do see posts here! -

If SDS mailed $20 to everyone who plays this game, half the ”fans” would complain about the way they folded the bill.

I mean, your universal profile shows you have 244 hours logged, so clearly you’re playing it.

Let me guess before they posted this they lost a game to a stacked team?

Or…some people just think a game where every hitter and every pitcher is a 95 or better…is kind of lame and boring. And it’s actually more like 97 or better in most Ranked Seasons games. And that’s only the really juiced/cracked 97s.
The lamest argument anyone can make is that any forum post is about wins and losses.
News flash - some of us don’t care the slightest bit about wins and losses. We’d just like to enjoy a baseball game where every game isn’t a team of 26 97/99s facing off. Why is that sooooo difficult to understand??
Is it because you all think you’re gonna be pro’s at this game or be a YouTube influencer or twitch streamer??? Hmmmm…

Question…I see several posts like this every week on here. If you don’t like all the 99’s then why not just play BR? Or play regs? It just seems silly to me to play the one mode on this game that has teams with all 99’s if you don’t like teams with all 99’s!
-
You call it a lame argument,but it's true.the vast majority of posts on here come after a loss.
Most on here don't have a problem with venting, it's usually the way it's done and the colorful insults that ppl take issue with. -

BR is only 3 innings…and you can’t pick your roster from cards in your collection, you are stuck with the luck of the draft.
Online ranked gives you zero choice in roster building and has a grand total of zero historic players and/or teams.
Everyone here loves to rag on 2K…but even they have classic teams available in Online Ranked games.

Assuming that everyone who posts anything even slightly negative about the game is just doing so because they are steaming from a loss is rather presumptuous.
And why would a post about the overflow of OP’d cards be tied to a loss? Everyone has the cards…or can get them with barely any effort.
Probably has more to do with the fact SDS basically ELIMINATED the portion of the mode a significant portion of its player base enjoyed the most…and made the entire life of the mode mirror the portion of the game many players dislike the most - “endgame”.
Not everyone plays the game 14 hours a day for 12 months a year like YouTubers and streamers…and all their little wannabes.
Seems like a strange decision. Hope it works out for SDS financially. I kinda think they are just going to push more people away from the game sooner…and burn out some of their most loyal players and Stub buyers out.
But what do I know? Trying to get into the mind of someone who is spending hundreds a week on Stibs seriously makes my brain hurt.
I mean…I totally understand the streamers and YouTubers who do it for views and either break even and build an audience in the process…or might even actually make a profit from it short term.

ask anybody,ask everybody.im sure the consensus would be that at least 70 percent come after a loss.
want actual proof? Well you go ahead and shift through tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of posts to verify, doubt anyone else will,myself included. so you are getting an educated guess at best. -

I'm not sure WHY it would happen with a post regarding the path SDS is taking this mode.
Basically, almost every player is going to get a 95+ card. The popular players will likely get 4 or 5.
All in the name of "content"...as if there aren't 30 teams with 40 man rosters. Spanning over 100 years of history.
The mode is just 99's at every position all year round now.
And because most people who play the game lack much creativity...we mostly just see the same 99's used by everyone.
Again...if that's what the goons who destroy every pitch want so that they can see who the biggest GOON on the planet is...then just give them a mode where they can play with players with maxed out ratings who all have the exact same height and weight...and have the same swing, etc etc....and then they can see who has the most SKILL on the planet.
Good. Great. Wonderful. Hope they have a swell time playing that. Sounds incredibly interesting.

So I’m assuming you have all cards possible at this point- you have babe, chipper and Pedro?

nope not the case but this year everyone is losing to a "stacked" team at some point, my team is "stacked" as well.

It was a cool concept but it also seems like they didn’t think about it at all, and people just can’t admit it was a terrible idea to have POTMs as good as any old choice pack? And choice packs that are as good as the LS collection rewards?
