People doing this in 17 and 18 is why I have trust issues.

People did this in 18?

Decided to jump in some ranked today and 2 games in a row I play the most salty, toxic and miserable people in the community it seems.
Yes, I declined your friendly quit offer. You're looking for a game to play, so play.

All these guys made it their mission to make my life miserable for declining the friendly quit. Taking minutes to wind up between pitches, pausing for a minute and a half every inning, stepping off, throwing over to first base 5 times in a row while I don't even take a lead. I don't know if these shenanigans ever works out for anyone, but if anything it only gets me juiced up to absolutely obliterate you. I honestly don't understand why people are so toxic, salty and miserable. Just play the darn game man. Such a turn off to play like this every single game.

Had a guy decide to watch a replay of his two run HR Saturday which came in the top of the first. Think I ended up with 6 HR's in a 12-3 win and watched every one of them.

I get a lot fewer friendly quit requests since I tanked my RS record and quit out like 30 games so far.

There are HRs you just gotta watch. I don’t get mad for replays. I even replay the one I give up sometimes.

No HR is worth replaying, homers are far from rare

I could say the same thing about real life games but they replay them all on TV. There's nothing wrong or trolling about replaying a homer. It's in the game and it's part of presentation. It brings a part of what is enjoyable about offline play (seeing the ball arc and what a HR replay looks like if a team hit one in real life) and brings it to the online experience.

@StarsWillAlign said in SDS priorities:

For the people who complete collections and play the DD mode in versus.. showdown.. conquest.. and get the XP by earning it. Playing HR Derby for all of your XP shouldn't reward you with cards and other rewards that are not meant to be obtained so quickly. It's not a grind. It's exploiting a glitch.

Except they also give you XP by doing collections which isn't earned at all.

@j9milz said in Biggest problem with pitching:

They are not gonna do it. They need to allow Directional hitters a chance. The Only way the game will ever be balanced is if they make evryone use zone hitting in ranked.

They get a chance because not every pitch is going to dot.

Depends on the length of the moment. Typically they are too short to get a program star.

If it took no skill, you'd see more people with 50% win records and more people in CS. Learn how to pitch.

Part 1 ends 4/30. The event wins stuff ends 5/7.

HOF reduced the skill gap, not AS and even. Legend reduces it even moreso. Better players will outscore worse players on All Star. The higher the difficulty, the more it comes down to 1 or 2 runs that could be due to randomness.

@Psycho__Kinetic said in Random Mission:

Trying to get the 3 XBH with Catchera in H2H games done for the Jorge Posada Program and I just got 2 Hrs with him in a BR game.

After the game,, was scrolling thru the mission via the Missions Tab and it showed that I was 2/3 with XBHs with Catchers; but also showed an Online Mission where I need to get 4 Hits with BO Jorge Posada. Showing 2/4. And I can't seem to find out where that Mission is located and for which Program. (Its not the 10 Hits with BO players for the Pisada Program; because that one is showing 2/10.)

Does anyone know anything about this Mystery Mission (maybe a 'leaked' part of the Yankees' Stage 2 TA?)

It's in the 2nd inning missions. You get 20 stars for it.

@abbyspapa said in Event Game Stamina Needs to Carry Over:

When you are playing Super Contra and you beat the first jungle level, did you start the next level with full health?

You are asking a video game to break video game law. The only stamina loss that carries over is your own, but there's Red Bull for that.

Is each level harder? To you get anything for beating the first jungle level 50 times?

@eatyum said in Event Game Stamina Needs to Carry Over:

Lol no.

That would be absolutely silly. So if I am going all out for my 12th win in a run and throw all my starters to get it, if I lose, I get penalized when I start my run over

And? That makes more sense than game 1 going against 2-3 top starters because the opponent doesn't need to worry about game 2 or 3.

Title says it all. If you start a new event run, that shouldn't give your pitchers full stamina. You should not be allowed to throw your ace, quit out and throw your ace again. This must be done to keep people from facing the same pitchers every time they start their run.

You can get 30 of the required... 25.... points needed without playing an online game. Stop whining.

20 points are online only. What are you even lobbying for? All 50?

Yes, every stat grind should be online or offline.

So you want to go back to 50 saves per team , 500 abs, 150 hits, 75 hr or whatever it was? Hell no. I play offline mostly but enjoy ranked season when I’ve caught up on the TA grind and these missions are perfect. Both sides win. You don’t even have to play online to get Zimmerman, maybe you just can’t win on all star and want some easy “ 5 at bats with national players” vs the cpu on rookie type missions.

Who said anything about changing the quantity? If online players can get 10 points by getting 10 hits with Nats, offline players should be able to get 10 points by getting 10 hits with Nats. It's that simple. And they should be for fully completed games, not people who "hit and quit."

but its way easier vs the cpu. So it would have to be double that ...

No it wouldn't have to be, there's no rule that says it has to be. And even if it was, 20 hits, 10 hits, what's the big deal?

Another example, just came in the Jackie program. Online gets you 20 points based on 10 runs and 10 XBH with Dodgers. Offline requires 7 TB in one game with Jackie Robinson as a moment and 5 stolen bases with Dodgers in Conquest. One is clearly easier than the other, and it's not the offline.

Tfw DD is designed to be pvp so you'll never get the offline online experience you crave so badly

Show me one place where SDS says DD is designed to be PvP.

In the place where half of its game modes (RS, BR, Events) are all pvp, last time I checked offline people got franchise, rtts, MTO, and homerun derby

If they were aiming for offline players to be playing DD over anything else then almost everything would be do-able offline

That must be why Conquest is 30 stars and gives you free packs and they just came out with a brand new offline mode this year (Showdown).

Give it a rest. You don’t see “online players” complaining about the mission “beat the nationals on all star or higher”.
You mean we have to play against the CPU?!?! This game sucks!!

When there were player programs a few years ago, online players abosultely lost their [censored] on here that they had to do offline missions.

And back then they didn't have to do it offline, they chose to.

You don't have to. You can still get your stuff without doing the mode you want. Offline players have to play all the offline modes (moments, vs CPU, etc.). Online just have to set their events Roster to be 1B and Nats players. So if, for example, I'm an offline player who doesn't like moments, too bad. I can't just get RBIs with Nats and beat them on All Star. I can't even just do that and exchanges. No, I must do moments. Meanwhile, online players can just load up their events roster with 1B and Nats players and get 15 hits and 10 RBI with Nats, 5 XBH with 1B and boom, you have a Zimmerman. Heck if you have FoF Soto in your RS/events lineup, you can accidentally get Zimmerman without even trying, literally.

Why do people talk about franchise? How is franchise anything like DD?

You can literally collect and trade for the players you want. Turn on force trades, then bam. You can have the greatest team. Why spend money and then play offline in DD?

Trading in Franchise and collecting in DD are in no way related. Nor is building in team. They are 2 completely different modes.

What makes you think DD is just about getting the best players without doing anything for them? I mean I guess that's the logic for people who just buy stubs to buy cards on the market but most like earning their cards. Preferably in the method they like the best.

Well the guy I was asking said "I pay and play just like the rest of you"

1. I don't spend a dime on stubs what a waste
2. Why spend money collecting cards just to play boring offline
   3)Why grind for players, but don't use the players, that's what my point is

Who said offline players don't use the players they get?
