Sad I’ll Never Get Ted Williams
-
@Th3_Th1n_M4n-o_0_PSN well im 46 and have no issues doing anything in the game.. so I don't know what age has anything to do with it..I read the OP said he has trouble seeing. that is understandable.. But he was voicing his frustration more as to say he couldn't do it because it to hard for him..
-
@datnickdogg351_PSN Oh I'm right there with you, mid 40s with bad eyesight and arthritis and there is definitely a point where I hit a wall on what I can do. Some of that is skill and some of it is physical limitations and I'm sure I'm nowhere near the bottom of the spectrum of the player base on this. Old age is just a catch all of all the extra roadblocks that aren't in the game for most of the players, I'm just saying ok cool make it hard to get for the collections but after so long don't alienate the rest of them. There has to be a point where the rewards for showdown isn't top of the line anymore and should be more accessible for everyone. Or just make them sellable like someone else had mentioned.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS That is the easiest solution and I don't understand why they refuse to. EVERY showdown, conquest, mini-season, etc. card should be sellable. It is just stupid trying to force people to play modes they hate.

I had spinal surgery when I was 46, that was due to degeneration caused by age. I currently have no tactile feel in my right thumb, and reduced dexterity and feeling in the rest of my hands because of it. Add the osteoarthritis and my hands suck...and I'm still not even 50. Go figure, age affects people differently. I think that would be a good idea to scale back the sliders from earlier showdowns. I'll never get Rolen or Williams because I can't beat the NBL or spring breakout showdowns. He saw a problem and put out a solution. Age is usually the cause to lot of problems like vision. The trifocal bottle lenses of my glasses--that I didn't have to wear when I was younger--told me that.

I’ve been playing The Show for 5 years now. Each year, my goal is to field an all 99 team and to finish as many Collections as possible. (Anything strictly online I’m not concerned about).
I don’t spend any additional money, just play the game casually and not efficiently.
Between the nerfed PXP on “vs CPU” and the low pull rates for high LS cards keeping prices very high, the task of “finishing” (for me) looks daunting.
Usually by now, I’ve found something to flip, but that too appears to be nerfed this year.
It’s early (and hopefully SDS starts making things more “straightforward “), but not being able to “finish” will certainly make my decision to continue with The Show on the table next year.
-
Dam sds why you ain’t Ada accessible and inclusive smh
-
Damm all of you want Ted Williams right away, FYI you don't have to have everything completed in one day it'll still be there later on
-
Lol I'm on a pack and play run this year, I have zero change of getting ted but so far I haven't cared about the collections because neither will make a spot on my end game team
-
I love the people who show no empathy on here. I’m currently playing the show with one eye. I had Retina reattachment surgery and have an oil bubble in my one eye until at least August. It has made getting above WS nearly impossible for me, but I still enjoy the game. Some modes I don’t mess with because of the difficulty in hitting consistently with precision. I like the suggestion of making the cards sellable and repeatable for folks. It hasn’t locked the dq cards up or ruined the market in that mode. How much of an impact could doing the same thing to showdown have?
-
@mietha_MLBTS agreed!
-
I’m in the same boat. It’s not motivating me to play more or spend money at this point. It’s pushing me to walk away and I hate that.

Sadly, this forum tends to be a microcosm of society in general. A bunch of selfish, immature, keyboard warrior tough guys, with no empathy for anyone that only care about themselves.
Competitiveness aside, this is a video game, not real life, it should be fun, and a relatively low stress way to unwind. Making rewards fairly easily attainable for all players willing to put in a good amount of time and effort should be the way things are, but they aren’t.
SDS and Sony would still get their money and the top players would still be first to get their rewards for being more elite at this game than the rest of us mere mortals.

I will keep saying it while sets and seasons had their issues the way collections were last year made the rewards obtainable all cards had the same value in the collection now I have 18000 topps now cards with no purpose in collections
-
Sets and seasons would have been fine if they didn’t just keep re-releasing duplicate 99s due to their limited MLB player pool.
Also, they could have made seasons only applicable to online play. If you were playing offline they should have removed restrictions because nobody should care what cards a player is using against the CPU.
Instead they went back to the old system but made it 100x worse by nerfing packs and requiring every card for the collection rewards.
The game isn’t for casual players anymore. It’s for the elite players, whales, or people that can endlessly grind day after day because they don’t have busy schedules. Even then you really need to be a well above average player, so you can grind DQ on GOAT multiple times per day.
-
@sbchamps17_NSW Thanks Dad!
-
@TripleH-4481_PSN If getting every card were relatively easy for even the casual players. Then everyone would have every card and there would be no reason to play. You have to be rewarded if you’re good at the game. You also have to be rewarded for grinding the game. This game would be dead if everything were easy.
-
I'm a casual player with a life outside this game and a busy schedule and I don't feel like it's difficult to get the vast majority of the cards in the game. You just have to be strategic about it, but for the most part it's easy to do.

Who gets to define casual?
Is casual based on hours spent? Is it based on the difficulty we play on. Is the modes we play? Is it the difference between playing with you preferred theme teams vs constantly optimizing your squad to most efficiently knock out the programs?
My profile shows 100 less hours than you. Does that make me super casual.
Of course, in my case I don't come in expecting to get every card. Last year was the first time I have ever even finished the live collection and that was only accomplished in like December.
-
@Pergo_MLBTS you also have to be accepting that the day a card comes out you're not going to be able to get it. I have a FT job, 3 kids 2 in baseball, a very crazy schedule. It took me a while to complete Rolen, and the LS collection but i did it. Players have to be realistic about how they play and what will be available to them and when. I have issues with SDS, this is not one of them. Sorry to the OP about your medical condition. I hope and pray it clears itself up. Dont worry about Ted Williams play the game and you'll get him. Maybe not today maybe not til July but you'll get him.
-
@AxiomEnigma_XBL I unlocked Ted Williams yesterday.
You have to grind DQ over & over. Its the way to do it.
