June countdown yikes

@dfwrazorback_MLBTS This is kind of where I'm at. I'm not even mad anymore, I'm just finding it REALLY hard to care, at all. After being my most played game for the last decade, I can only be told "we don't want you" so many times before I finally listen.

Look at all the replies to this. Wow. Says it all. Kind of like a 'Countdown to extinction,' ala the Megadeth song 🤪

I didn't see the 24 K requirement. It's not that hard with the new strike zone. I think i got 23 or so, on Veteran this year. Let outs fall for hits, or don't throw to first on grounders. Remember. You need K's, not assists, lol. If it doesn't have to be done with one pitcher, just try a '6-3'er.' 6 innings with Topps Now Schlittler for most, for instance, then put in Miz to mow 'em down for the final 3. You can even do a '6-1-1-1,' but with relievers you can trust to get them flailing away, or catch 'em looking! Back-door slider those foows back to Memphis, or wherever they're from. It depends on the difficulty, of course. Just don't face LS Willi Castro, who is hard to strike out, lol. B*stard broke up a Perfecto bid of mine recently. -
@dfwrazorback_MLBTS like perhaps spend more time playing another game like I am now, with another game or two on the back burner. This year's game isn't only bad....it's REALLY BAD. The addition of mini season and pxp doesn't negate everything else bad about the game. The list is long and now even some of their supporters are starting to turn away. I miss the three or four hours a day or all day grinds on my days off but if sds is dead set on chasing me to other games....chase away!
Normally I would have been all over big Friday content but tonight I ended up playing FC 26 instead since they have been dropping some pretty good world cup related content. Yes, SDS drove me to play an EA game before we even got to the all star game.

@nymets1987_PSN arent you allowed to get those strikeouts vs the cpu?
Seems a little ridiculous it’s never even happened in a real life game before
-
@go4stros25_PSN there is no point in having a further discussion with them. They hate online. Is what it is. But they are definitely effecting us online players with all their complaining. Trying to keep them happy which they never will is taking away from us. Its already happened. With all the online programs they have removed. Now im getting bad at the game again cause I have to play countless hours offline.
You do realize this post reinforces the same point several offline players have been making for months, right? Why do you think you have to "play countless hours offline"? Non-sellable offline rewards are a mechanism SDS uses to encourage online play. How are offline players supposed to "just use stubs to buy the cards you want" (online player logic) when there is no access to stubs?
-
I’m with you, I think this is a cool drop
Maybe I’m in the minority but I like offline AND online games hah. Not sure why the two are so polarizing
-
I'm a full time career so I don't have time for online games hardly anytime for offline games and SDS wants to start pulling this bulls**t. Been a loyal customer since the 989 studio days but if this is the way there going this will most definitely be my last year buying there product.

I’ll probably only have the time to get Acuna I think. But the good news about this program is you can buy the cards if you don’t get them. The stubs and XP are nice and all but there’s a lot of XP this inning path + you can flip that many stubs relatively quickly.
I don’t love the short-timed nature of this program either but the fact that the rewards are sellable made me think “ehh it’s fine then.”

Plot twist: You won't. You'll just cry back complaining next year cause the season will be canceled!

Which is probably a good thing for MLB and also SDS
Gonna suck with no baseball next year
I’d love to sit in on an MLB union meeting

Just saw one of the hard missions: “Get five wins in BR”. Guess I’m not completing the program.
Was gonna grind it out this weekend, but seeing that it’s forcing us into BR? No thanks. Program started with such promise, and once again turns into a massive L.
-
@SDS_JoeK_PSN Have someone else make this game. SDS is a joke.
-
I don’t see the loss here. You weren’t going to play BR anyway
If you want to try it out, go for it. If not, what’s the loss?
Although I guess they should have made BR free for 4 days. It could be a way for them to grab 1500 stubs from players over and over to help correct the market
Either way - we know it costs 1500 to enter so we either do it or don’t.
-
@JenkinMeyer_PSN Missing out on the 75k stubs. 5 wins in ranked would have been the better and smarter way to go
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS who is gonna complain when it’s a cake walk to complete everything.
This is far from a cake walk for the majority of casuals and if you think so you have no idea of the majority of your player base. This is a serious disconnect with the casuals of the game.
Game felt like [censored] last night and I am a multi WS player every year since 17. I can only imagine how the casuals are feeling. It is the worst program and most pissed I have been since the Griffey 4 hr online mission.
-
@skywalker_25_PSN Exactly. It should be easy to do this. It would be similar to having extreme moments. In any mode earn 5 or 10 stars for a task. Do a task in an online mode and earn 25 or 50 stars.
-
I agree to a point - but 75k should be rewarded to those who can accomplish it
It’s not a FOMO, it’s that people see that others can accomplish it easily and get jealous
I’ll not get those 75k, no way in hell
But I can get the XP rewards passively just playing whatever
But good for those who can
I like that they’re trying atuff

@D_e_m_I_s_E_MLBTS it played like [censored] last night you’re right.

I get it, I’m just frustrated because they should have just stuck with “wins in ranked” instead of trying to shoehorn people into a mode that isn’t all that popular with the majority of the player base(and that’s because it’s traditionally been a sweatfest). That at least would have been a fair shot across the board. But I do 100% understand your point, and you’re not wrong. There’s tons of XP to be gained.
Am I jealous? Of course, I wish I was good enough to win games in BR. Absolutely. I can win in ranked, but BR is another beast altogether…WAAC players are completely different.

The players that are good enough to get all these done in 4 days are those who probably already have God Squads and need the 75k stubs the least.
Meanwhile all the players I earn offline are No Sell and I need to rely solely on pack luck to get any decent amount of stubs
Just to acquire the the best Cardinals Team I can (excluding Pujols) these are the current prices, and these are after the cards have come down quite a bit.
Berkman - 187K
Jordan - 23K
May - 39K
Wetherholt - 45K
Simmons - 166K
Brock - 5K
Gibson - 18K
Romero - 8K
Pendleton - 6K
Torres - 4K
Walker - 5K
O'Neill - 4KTotal: 519K just for 1 team's best players. Every single one of these players are Pack cards.
I only need Berkman and May still but that is still 226K. I am 200K shy of that total and I have already sold almost all of my duplicates and Diamonds just to get Simmons.
The Spotlight path gives me one sellable card. Odds are I pull a card worth 5K when the card I need out of the pack is 39K
