Related to the post about scaring casuals away. SDS has a toxic top streamer problem.

Imagine worshipping a guy like Frosty who plays 18 hours a day and has his mom fight battles for him against other streamers! Heroes lol gtfoh
He then loses game 1 of the tournament yesterday and immediately blamed it on Ranger Suarez being glitched and his opponent playing on McDonald's Wi-Fi, then 2nd game loses internet and immediately blamed it on SDS for giving him horrible internet connection, this after claiming that he has the best internet going 1 gig up and down
There's another channel called Frosti, except he makes mostly 2K content. Much better than that obnoxious moron.

If anyone watched the tournament streams last weekend, they were all cussing out SDS…just pure toxicity.
I’m a pretty good player but I can not keep up with the top guys. I matched up against Brenton the other day. He is a late night Twitch streamer with a decent following and like 1,500 games played.
He is obviously better than me and is already over 1,000 ranked points. He proceeded to message me talking trash, bunt danced and replayed home runs completely unprovoked.
Honestly just makes me disgusted to be a part of the community and not want to play.
Of course, I can just forget it and move on, but I feel like it’s worth at least bringing up.Along with the other thread mentioning the other negative [censored] these guys do, is this who SDS really wants carrying the flag for their game?
Anyone that is not mentally insane would just move on from this game. Yes, I am talking to myself here.Don't sell yourself short. Streamers are notorious cheaters and the gaming companies know it. I said in a post a while back streamers and/or cheaters have absolutely killed online gaming. However, for some reason the gaming companies think they need these low lifes to sell the game which they don't. I flat despise streamers and think they are scum of the earth. Majority (not all) are just low life pos that will do anything for views and money.

@Player99_MLBTS love using ranger he makes some people look so stupid.

Why is there so much dislike amongst players in this community? The players hate many of the streamers, and the streamers dont seem to like each other. Ive been in other video game communities (speedrunning, sports, etc) and it isnt like that.
This community loves to hate on the elite players as tryhards and sweats. You should revere those guys and praise their abilities - when they turn on that perfectly located sinker, you should be worshipping them, not slandering them. Everyone here wants to complain nonstop about cheating and exploiting - but most of the elite players aren't good for that reason.
This game particularly has a "poor vs. rich" problem - where one side cant like the other. The onliners cant like the offliners, the new players think the old players are conspiring against them, and anybody whos making stubs must be a [censored].
I don't hate elite players at all. I do however hate cheaters. I'll take PUBG for example. They just had a big tournament and a very prominent player did a really deep dive on the tournament and concluded that ONLY 44 of the 100 people that won tournament money were legit players. This includes a player that was reported numerous times. A PUBG employee stated they were not cheating. Days later that player received a permanent ban (which really isn't permanent because they just create another account). If you don't think the majority of high level players in any game aren't cheating, you need to open your eyes.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN so true
-
The people who are really good at this game should absolutely be hailed as heroes. They put in countless hours being miserable, until they succeed at this fairly impossible game. Instead of congratulating them and understanding their pain, most people here seem to resent them.
I'd rather see them devote that time and energy to a professional pursuit that actually adds value to society.

I'm with ya. I'll save the hero title for those guys who run into burning building looking for ppl who didn't get out.
Glad to see a logical and moral post!
Thanks!

I never understood banning an account? Why not ban the IP address?

Lol, I was being pretty tongue in cheek in this thread calling them heroes.
I agree with y'all that most big streamers who play this game seem to be super unlikeable yucky personalities. Gomer and Dimmu seem chill and normal - most of the rest seem like annoying frat bras.
But, the player base for this game is just as bad - they are relentlessly negative ragebaiters. SDS can post "Good morning everyone, heres a free 99 player!" and 9 out of ten responses will be...
"Your game is the worst game ever made. Swear word. Swear word. Cheating Scandal. Ethnic Slur. Packet Glitch. Swear Word. AND BY THE WAY - Where's my Aaron Nola Card!!! He just hit 2000 Ks two hours ago, and I dont see any recognition!!! Sleeping at the wheel again, SDS!"

lol there was a time when I was like "oh maybe I can make YouTube videos that deep dive into these cards." Then I really started to deep dive into the community. Needless to say, I mostly only interact on here now. I literally have said "SDS is looking into the Grant Taylor glitch" (which they were, and had a fix for it the next day) and was called a bootlicker and told I ... well I can't say it here.

The streamers say all those same things about SDS and more. You should have seen the streams during the tournament the weekend before last.

Plus this game sucks! My master SoftDrinkTV said so! He hates any game he plays, except if it's made by a studio that isn't known for making sports games! So based!

I am convinced, most of the top players are cheating in some form or way. Anyone who is not boosting and can maintain 450 plus batting averages with rng the way it is now has to be cheating. Rng takes away half of my good contact i dont know about you all. Some of this makes no sense. Im sure there are really good elite players. But they have to be few and far between.

@Apolloz_99_MLBTS we hate on them because sds caters to them. If they never took away the online programs there would be less hate. The elites can get the rewards faster and make more stubs which is perfectly fine. While the rest of us can grind for them. Make it more fair for the entire player base. Obviously if you are better at the game you get those faster. = more stubs. The way they had it was perfect two years ago.
That and if you are that great at a video game. Maybe its time to get a life.
Top players were getting the rewards twice before an average player got them once, it was a win win situation for them. I think they hated it because cards wouldn’t hold their value for too long, which was better overall for the game/market health.
So, to summarize the majority of the streamers/top players don’t really care about the game, it’s all lies when they say it.

Let's cut to the bottom line. Anyone who wraps up his ego in a video game is someone in dire need of a change in lifestyle and perspective!

@im_aPugtato_PSN agreed. We had no problem with them getting the cards twice. If you are good at the game fine. At least everyone else was able to play and grind for them. It brought more people to play online. They were able to get both ws rewards. Cool, perfect.. And thats what matters. Everything down hill with these new devs. We want people engaged and playing. Or else it becomes exactly what it is now.. a cheater sweat fest. Some of you dont get it.

@yanksthebest_PSN I watched his stream one night and immediately lost any shred of respect for him...One night he matched up with Swan...or it might have been Dimmu, and the second he saw the name he immediately friendlied.
Then he somehow gets some guy with a 230 rank. They shouldn't be anywhere close to matching up with each other. Definitely using a VPN to get some of those matchups.
@rubicante23_psn I agree, Dimmu is probably my favourite to watch, he takes everything in stride- even his rare L's (something that a lot of streamers don't do). I like OhChev too because even though he can be pretty abrasive, he makes sense.
-
@Sarge1387_PSN Chevy's personality isnt my jam, but at least its not offensively yucky like many others.
Kdjtv seems cool and normal too, as someone else said.
-
@rubicante23_PSN I like Kevingohd he seems chill.
