June countdown yikes

@T4RbRuSh_XBL I use Tmobile for internet and ive had zero issues playing online. Maybe their coverage just sucks in certain areas of the country or something, but it's not all of us. Here in the suburbs of Detroit where I live everything works great.

SDS should allow people to play in a manner that is enjoyable to the customer without gatekeeping rewards. Just my opinion.THIS!!!! THIS THIS THIS! Offline and online players should be able to complete these programs in the playstyle they prefer. Not have rewards gate kept from them.

You will literally be fine

It's not equal, there is a multiplayer "online path' there is no equivalent for offline players. There are several players exclusive to the path. As an offline player, it's harder to earn stubs, you get fewer rewards, and hearing online players whine about conquest and miniseasons is the biggest joke there is. For those of us who choose not to pursue the multiplayer path, there should be a single-player path to mirror it, with rewards for doing so. Also, there is no reason for an online player to talk down to or belittle offline players. The simple point remains the game is not 'play how you wish" it's play how we dictate you should play. Single player and multiplayer users should be unified in as much as both path should mirror one another and all rewards should be sellable and thereby buyable.

100% THIS

"let me play only the game modes I want...and only the difficulty I want....and only at the time and pace I want...and still be able to get all the same stuff as everyone else"
Thats the soft 2026 gamer right there. Its not just this game - its how they feel about all games.
My 10-year old self rented hard SNES games from the corner store, and tried to complete them in one weekend. When I failed, I rented them the next weekend. No complaining - I knew it must be possible, other people did it, so I'd find a way to do it. Where's that spirit anymore?

You say online players shouldnt talk down to offline players right after saying that online player whine abiut miniseasons and conquests. The offline only crowd has spent this entire weekend crying about this program. Online players only brought up miniseasons as a comparison.
And offline gameplay is by far more rewarding than online play. You can complete DQ in an hour, bunt your way to victory, and sell the cards for 30-60k. You can play 7, 3inning games in rookie and get a 10 bundle in wbc miniseason, you can get 100ks on new threads miniseaosn and get 5 ballin packs. You can do these things over and over. Online once youre done with the ONE program we get these days all you get is a wheel spin. So a 5 pack of standards.
I play the game online and offline. I have 2.3 million stubs. You know how I got them? Same as everyone else. DQ, miniseaon, degrom showdown, and the market.
For the majority of online players by the time we get to whatever online reward there is avaliable its already down 50-80% and this is coming from someone who makes WS. I made WS today and sold Darren o day for 62k. A week ago he was double. A week from now he will be 25k and every offline person will have him..

Maybe you should just let them vent for the weekend and let them get it out of their systems, seeing as you have been venting on this forum for months about every little aspect that bothers you.

@victoryphoenix_PSN the multi player path is trash. And we usually finish it within a week tops. Sure there is good xp in there thats about it. You guys can still buy the cards. So enough of this tantrum stuff.
-
I did notice the game was playing really bad last night in events. Maybe its just that stadium, not sure
No. Wired Xbox and still seeing 120 mph pitches. Wanted to try HOF on Xbox but these last few days, not a chance. Thought it might be the NIC on my PS5 but Series X doing the same thing. Game looks smoother on Xbox but still have to swing when pitch leaves the hand on all star.
I would love to fly an elite streamer to my house. Not a chance in hell they are hitting .400 on legend here.

I don't think so, when I play Miniseasons, it's 28 game seasons. I would rather talk to sabermetrics junkies about baseball than play Diamond Quest more than once. No, I don't do the bunt thing to win a game, I play on all-star with 74% or higher chance and usually it plays out in my favor. yes, I have played the wbc miniseason a lot. But seriously, the real reward is the championship banner, with five, you can exchange for 5 BIAH packs. Regular packs rarely give any serious rewards. So, offline is not more rewarding. My point was that both should mirror one another to truly give a play how you want reality.

@victoryphoenix_PSN you are putting yourself at a disadvantage by choosing to play the way you are playing. By all means, do you, but there are way better ways to make stubs.
I do the new threads miniseason. 3 inning games, 7 games per season. Find a team that you need strikeouts for in the #1 fan team affinity. In one season (12, 3 inning games) you get like 14 standard packs, 6 ballin packs, and whatever else you get from the #1 fan program.
*New threads miniseason gives you a 5 pack of ballins for getting 100 Ks:
12 games x 9ks/game=108ks per season giving you 5 ballin packs per season.
Also sell everything.
I make so many more stubs from offline than online amd anyyone who isn't cheating or going 10-0 every other day will agree.

And my 14 year old self was beating [censored] like Blaster Master without the grenade cheat. I stayed up to 4 AM to beat Adventure Island.
I have recently beaten ultimate fights in FFXIV. I get my difficult content elsewhere.
And when I do take on difficult content, I do it for the challenge and never, ever the rewards. I could argue that the people that feel the need to be rewarded for difficult stuff are the soft ones.
And this program isn't even about difficulty anyway. I know it might take me a few hours to get 5 wins in BR, and then another few hours to get a 10 hit game. or I could get both done quickly. Either way, I know I could do it. I just don't want to have it to do it this weekend.
And I know why they are doing this. SDS does better than most at minimizing the 'dark pattern' practices that plague live service gaming (I am shocked we dont have a paid only currency yet) but this program is 100% a step further down that path and I wont take part in it.

@Teak2112_MLBTS I am shocked they havent added a paid currency as well. I think its next in the list of scummy things they keep adding year after year.
