More Shop packs today -- woohoo (SDS U SUCK)
-
I blame all the early adopters of ultimate teams concept. Once they (sports games developpers) saw the weaklings taking the bait, the "good old days" were done.
-
@Pergo Compare it to 97 Dustin May, 93 H/9, 98 Clutch, 99 velo, 94 K/9.
Graveman, attribute wise, is literally a better card. lol
-
@CDNMoneyMaker93 1 earnable card with however many have been in packs this week is balance?
-
@BJDUBBYAH The May card is actually a starting pitcher, not a reliever.
-
@blitz77tw here is my argument to you. You’ve logged over 400 hours on this game. A game that I’ve never read a single positive post from you about. SDS puts these packs out, and people buy them, they wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t working. Your anger comes across as jealousy of people who can afford to buy them. If you hate SDS so much, you’re really not showing it with the amount of time you spend playing their game.

Welcome to Pack Creep
-
@Tadow9 A starting pitcher with worse attributes yes.
-
The Goodrum is a 97? Could have sworn the year it was dropped it was an 88.
Gotta love the ratings boost.
-
@BJDUBBYAH In the game most of the time starting pitchers have more stamina than a reliever, similar to real life. Lots of time relief pitchers strike out more batters and throw harder but starters can throw more pitches in a single game. That is the case here, Dustin May can throw more pitches than Graveman, that’s why he’s a more valuable card.
-
@Tadow9 Yes, I do understand the difference between a starting pitcher, and a relief pitcher.
-
@Tadow9 Lets do a different comparison.
84 Rookie Willi Castro vs. 97 Niko Goodrum.
Both switch hitters which is nice
Niko is going for a Buy Now of 156999 on the market, or you can gamble with the packs, vs. Willi at 22498 on the market, or you got him in the previous BR.Willi: 104 CON R, 119 CON L, 69 POWER R, 66 POWER L, 49 VIS, Which makes the card eligible for the Buxton boost. Which gets the Power up to 84R and 81L, 115 clutch, 60 fielding, 65 arm ,54 reaction, 83 speed with 55 steal. So, not the greatest fielder.
Niko: 91 CON R, 125 CON L 95 POWER R, 84 POWER L, 79 VIS, 91 CLUTCH, 96 fielding, 88 arm, 99 reaction, 85 speed with 55 steal.
Niko is by far the better fielder, but, 97 overall vs. 84 overall? because of fielding?
I'm not going to waste stubs on Niko, when Willi is just as good of a card.
-
@BJDUBBYAH I’m not sure what you’re talking about, I just assumed you were new to baseball because you were comparing starting pitchers and relievers. I personally think the Nico card is better though.
-
@Tadow9 I'm not new to baseball. Thanks.
-
@BJDUBBYAH wait, are you comparing a boosted card against an non boosted card? Unfair comparison
Should they just remove boosts from the game so that you don't have this issue?
-
@Dolenz I listed the stats, with and without the boost, for Power. And I have no problem with "boosts" as I run theme teams with captains quite often. Twins and Giants. I'm not sure what issue you're referring to?

Balance may not have been the correct word but basicly what I am saying is that we are gonna get new packs all the time that is just reality but if it's accompanied with stuff we can earn then it's better then we have been getting.
As far as content this week has the potential to be a step in the right direction of things to do vs getting new packs.
I want to enjoy this game and am willing to beleive things will adjust from what the first 4 weeks have been but I also conced that SDS hasn't done anything to earn the trust it will get better

Willi is not just as good as Niko lol
It’s not even close
You still have to use buxton on your team to get willi the power boost… buxton isn’t a good card he has 44 vision and willi still stays with his 49 vision after boosted
So that means you already have two cards on your squad with very low vision
Niko has 79 vision
Niko’s base is 100x better than Willi boosted and Niko can legit play every position except catcher and he plays them well
You’re bugging out if you think Castro is better

I am SO tired of seeing new packs in the shop that have the best cards in the game that cannot be earned. I know there is a program this Friday but do we really think there will be a pack in that program ?
Also SDS fanboys who just want to stick up from them with stupid and silly excuses do not reply cause my tolerance for you guys is ZERO ... just giving you a warning
If you have a legit argument fire away but like i said if it comes off fan boy then ....
Also i know I do NOT have to buy them but not the point
Lighten up Francis
-
@mookieparlaybetts okay. Go ahead and buy him then. Or buy the packs and pull him. Use the cards you want.

Sometimes I just don’t understand some of you guys that constantly stick up for SDS and this game . I started playing the Show the 1st year it came to Xbox and really, really loved it ! It took me a couple of years to get used the play mechanics. I still pretty much suck . I really like to play offline more than online against other people. But I liked that you could earn just about every card in the game . I learned how to flip cards to get the ones I couldn’t earn . But this year it seems they want everyone to pay money to get packs and cards. I’m 57 yrs. Old & disabled. ( chronic back pain after 2 failed surgery’s ) I’m on pain medication (strong) I like to play on rookie or veteran. All star & above is like a sweat fest that kills my back. Anyway I think this years game is a big disappointment to me so far . It’s not as smooth in gameplay, hitting (to me) is very inconsistent. The nerfing in XP is absolutely terrible , it feels like after a game I’ve gotten nowhere in Xp . I don’t like that you can no longer use your CAP player in DD . At least sds could let you use your CAP in DD just against the computer in mini seasons and conquest . That shouldn’t upset the players that play online. If the game keeps going this way ,l may not play after this year . But I love Baseball and that’s what keeps me going . Anyway sorry this is so long . Just my opinion .
