June countdown yikes
-
The offline only crowd has spent this entire weekend crying about this program.
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.

"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?
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.

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.
A little hypocritical no?
-
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.
Plot twist: You won't. You'll just cry back complaining next year cause the season will be canceled!
Nice try but I've got bigger things to worry about then something baseball game that will most likely play exactly the same with all the bugs as this year's version.

People are chuds nowadays.

I’m failing to see the issue here. Just like the MP program and WS rewards, you can buy the cards if you don’t get there.
And while this is time bound and mode specific, you can get Ronald by playing 3 Ranked games (I did it a little differently with some moonshot and then Ranked).
Now after Ronald? Maybe a couple wheels spins and 75K stubs which could be easily and alternately made / done playing the game the way people want (offline DQ, flipping cards, mini seasons).
I probably won’t even bother because I don’t love BR, nor do I want to play the CPU on rookie for 24 Ks. But it’s fine. I don’t have FOMO.
-
@mph2k_PSN you will be back most likely.
-
Legit question here. If you don't play ranked then what do you grind for and what do you play? Each ranked season is about the only thing I care about at all other than keeping up on programs. I'm genuinely just curious what reason you grind a good team for if not RS?
-
Nope, just minimally observant. The core of what I said is simple: there should be ways for online and offline players to earn all rewards by 'playing how they wish to' I have no more desire for you to play offline than I do to play multiplayer. I played the event long enough to get Castenallos as a Red's fan this year has been a major disappointment with releases, so it feels as though to get one of the 20 Reds released, I had no choice. In my opinion, the only thing worse than the toxicity of online play is the monotony of Showdown. That's it.
-
victoryphoenix_PSN your original statement says that online can’t complaining about mini seasons/conquest. You are also willingly skipping out on the multiplayer rewards. But it’s ok for them to lock cards into mini seasons/conquest that can’t be bought? There isn’t a player that can’t be bought from multiplayer other than the ranked cards
-
I am skipping out because online is full of cheaters, bots and general toxic players. Excuse me if I have free will and choose to exercise it.
-
I am 100% convinced now. Its the offline only community that is partly responsible for ruining this game. Holy meltdown
like a bunch of spoiled children. -
@victoryphoenix_PSN it’s really not. You could run into a cheater ever so rarely. Stop word vomiting things you been told.
-
It's not about Online vs offline players
It's about they should have given offline players a way to at least finish through the medium mission through offline methods EVEN if it was harder or more of a grind. Also SDS checked in and nothing as of yet so It looks like offline players are BEEPED so SDS -- you messed up but if you do not make it right. Be prepared to lose players cause this program was a SHOT at offline players and your about to find something out.
FAFO -- PERIOD
-
Couldn’t agree more!
You can still play how you want, if you don’t like this program, don’t play it.
