Or you can just save yourself the time and hassle and buy the cards.

@BJDUBBYAH_PSN I didn’t buy MLB The Show to play a casino game where rewards are given out by percentages.
Neither did I, I bought a baseball game with a fantasy mode, so I play it to play baseball, have fun and relax. And to unlock and collect cards to build squads. I don’t expect to be rewarded every time I play a three inning game.
-
That’s the real key. By making the odds bad enough people will just break down and buy the cards. Ultimately they would rather make $500 from 10 people than $100 from 50.
The amount is the same but hooking the whales, streamers, and addicts is far more profitable for them than casual gamers actually enjoying the product.
Money above all else and they are making that painfully clear. That’s the sad part, knowing the line in the sand has been drawn.

@TripleH-4481_PSN, addicts?
Here you are, playing a game you don’t even enjoy anymore, and when you’re not actually playing it, you’re thinking about it (and telling everyone else how it’s so bad that you’re going to quit).
But you don’t quit. You just can’t put it down.
Pot… kettle.

I will say it every time: DQ is not supposed to be a „I will do it and I want something 100%“, unless you have 100% winning-chance (which requires Goat) … It challenges people to try harder difficulties to have a very challenge experience.
I already had a few hard sweaty games … against the CPU. Never had that before, DQ made me have it. That is what DQ is … at least for me -
@BJDUBBYAH_PSN I don’t expect to get a reward every time I play a 3 inning game. I expect to get a reward that is displayed for completing a mode at some point, and not have to complete it now a minimum of 6 times to get the card. I don’t like buying cards with stubs if I can avoid it. I like earning the cards where I’m supposed to be able to earn them. I’ve done what is required FIVE TIMES and not gotten the reward…all because of stupid percentages, not because of anything I’ve done wrong. The fact that some people can complete this once and get all the rewards, and others have to try over and over and over again means that not everyone is getting the same experience playing the game, and that, in my opinion, is garbage.
You’re probably CONSIDERABLY better at this game than I am. Stop coming on here and telling people like me that the way I experience or perceive the game is wrong. This forum exists for me to let the developers know what my experience is playing the game. If you don’t agree or you are having a better experience than me, good for you. But I am not having the enjoyment I should, and I think they could tweak the game to make it more enjoyable for everyone.

@chrisham8380_PSN Take a coin, toss it 5 times … a few times a week. You will have some 5-0 and 3-2 … That is what 50% will do for you. It looks like you had some bad luck on your first 5 tosses … I had a 94% once and did not get the reward … bad luck, but still: awesome experience

You buy the game to have fun and relax,if you buy the game and expect everything to be handed to you then you shouldn't be playing

@YOSHI24_XBL However for most maps you have 100% (or close to it) on GOAT without playing a single challenge. Therefore there would be no incentive to actually play the DQ you just go straight to the stadium. So wouldn't it make sense to be able to increase your odds to more than 50% if you've successfully completed the whole map? Or to give you higher starting odds if you've already completed the map before without the Epic Card? They could even reset it to base once you've obtained the Epic Reward so you couldn't cheese the map.
I also don't think offline modes should only be worthwhile for the best players that's what BR Flawless and Ranked Seasons, and now Weekend Classic is for. I don't think there needs to be yet another mode that caters to the top players. And in its current iteration that's what DQ is. In my opinion

To be fair: We never had that … this game was always: win and get something. This is a change for a lot of people
-
@sbchamps17_NSW Holy [censored]. What don’t you understand. I’m not asking for things to be “handed” to me. But if I complete the map FIVE TIMES, I should have EARNED the reward that available by then.
-
@trfatboy22_PSN I am with you that … if you complete and succeed every mini-challenge, you should have a high percentage … But if you do that, you are definitely not a veteran player. And if you are higher, then this mode wants you to try HOF/Legend/Goat …
But back to sentence 2. If you complete it 100%, HOF should be higher than 75 (which it acutally is ). Should it be higher on veteran than … say 60% … I am not sure (I tend to say „no“) -
@YOSHI24_XBL But why? Why are only the good players able to get the rewards. And I’m not saying the percentages should be higher at the start. I’m totally on board with the better players getting rewards faster. But if I complete the map and beat the stadium challenges only to loose to RNG…my percentage should start a little higher so that I can eventually be guaranteed to get it at some point. Having to succeed at a map 6 times to still only “maybe” get the rewards if the percentage gods allow it is garbage.

if you have 50% every time, you will get your rewards … but do not expect it to be that way after only a handful of tries … that is how percentages work. You will get it eventually or you should increase the odds
-
@YOSHI24_XBL The mini challenges are all on veteran. So what makes you think someone isn't a veteran player that can complete those? lol.
I can MAYBE win a game on All-star. But as soon as you get to HOF or Legend the CPU just tees off. And you have to go all the way to legend to even actually increase odds because from Rookie to HOF it only increases by 2% at each rank (which is a whole other issue) So basically you can play on Rookie or Legend, Those are the choices.
The funniest part is you want to gate these cards and they aren't even good cards. Why do you think people shouldn't be able to obtain them?

Hm, I have an estimated „succession“-rate of prob 80% of the challenges … because some of them are just hard (hit a HR).
I win the stadium challenges on Goat … so, after reading all the complaints … I suppose that I am reading posts from players how cannot play on Goat/Legend.
If someone pretends to beat every challenge, he is definitely a good player (I did not say great, I am also not great :)) … Enough for your „lol“? -

Again, 50% statistics will not give you a reward on a 1/6-scale (because that is 16,6%). You had bad luck, that will change… because that is statistics.
If you get to 50%, you are not a bad player.
The rewards are still that good (in value) because it is a challenge to get them. Otherwise you could buy the cards for quick-sell-prices
-
@chrisham8380_PSN it’s not that you won’t get the reward, it’s that you’ll get it later if you’re unlucky or unwilling to wait as the price will continue to drop.
The problem with most people here who complain about this stuff is that they want it NOW. I’ve pre-ordered and like many opened a caca-ton of packs and pulled Lindor and Skenes (over-valued 86). That’s it; all the rest low diamonds or non-LS mid ones. I won’t complete LS and/or Rolen until late June probably with some luck (I don’t flip). Every program save Spotlight done. Both XP done; almost done with MP.
No crying here, except my wife.
-
@YOSHI24_XBL It’s not 50% every time. 53% was the lowest of my odds. I had one at 63% and one at 70%. I should have earned the stupid card by now. I don’t want to hear “keep trying and you’ll get it”. I’d rather be playing other modes than Diamond Quest.
-
@YOSHI24_XBL Most of them are either 1) pitching 2) a showdown or 3) get an RBI when you have a runner on third. I wouldn't consider MOST challenges to be hard. Sure some you do have to get lucky for but I think the newer DQ's have been better about not giving unrealistic moments. But of course you are reading posts from players who can't play on GOAT or Legend. That's what we've been saying the whole time. And we shouldn't have to. Again, BR Flawless, RS and WC already cater to that. DQ doesn't need to also.
