2-2 then hit a perfect-perfect top dot fly out. Not even to the warning track! Felt like throwing my controller thru the wall. Fourth AB: gapper to LC saved some drywall.
I hate their slot machine “moments.” Always have. It’s ridiculous that the Marketplace feels like the most rewarding part of this game.
@LuvMyXBOX_XBL I absolutely would have. Missed it by about an hour.
offliner, too. I got the first Boss, only because of the TA program. Not even trying anymore. This game is a mental health superfund site.
About 200k. Not even bothering with the XP track anymore. I loathe playing online; just not going to do it. I’ll probably get Burnes. If not, I’ll pick all the XP crumb up later if/when the market loosens. If it doesn’t, I’ll be done with this game by August. Honestly, I don’t even care anymore. After 16-years, it’s finally ruined for me.
Probably a good thing. We all should probably learn how to live without the MLB product as a whole for a long time after this WS.
I think it was ‘24. I scored something like 110 runs against the CPU. The PxP rewards were ridiculous, even on Rookie before they were bumped! Have the screenshot somewhere. Always wondered how often that’s happened.
Apparently SDS noticed because I’ve never come close since! Rarely hit 40 anymore!
Other than that, some of the Ranked games I played years ago were fantastic…when the BS wasn’t rearing its terarded head. When the matchups were good and the game stayed out its own way, the competition was fantastic. Never even bother online anymore.
Never. Buy. Packs.
Ever.
Hey! I got a Carew too! What are the odds…
I’m coming to loathe this company.
If they think I’m paying anything to put a baseball game, let alone this degenerating dumpster fire, on my phone….
It’s not a boycott that’s needed, it’s competition.
Lower margins equal more addicts and idiots buying stubs. It’s not hard to see why more and more folks think many/most of these bots are SDS/Sony.
I haven’t hated a company more since Comcast circa 2010. And that’s debatable.
And here is a secret for SDS:
If I am unhappy with the offline content Im not going to start playing online more, Im just going to play the game less. Which means very little chance for me to care when you do a flash sale if I need to top up for a fomo gamble.
Amen. Heed that, SDS. Your online “experience” is [censored]. I’d rather mow the yard again.
There’s nothing passive about their aggressive push to herd you into that toxic online RNG sewer.
As for fielders, ever notice how almost every time a ball hits the wall, it’s as if the fence hands it straight to the CPU OF? 
Can’t have too many triples now, can we? How many times have you been thrown out at second on a gap shot?
Part of it is the lower level cards. I noticed it early last year, too. But yes. The pitching has been tweaked again. The CPU grind XP rewards are ridiculous. They’re trying to herd we stragglers into the online cesspool with exponentially higher rewards. I can compete in Ranked, generally in the 600’s, but I always walk away hating this game to my core.
@Pigsooie-Nation_MLBTS Ive been at that point since the game dropped
@Wolfski0412_PSN Had the same thought re: SDS trying to discourage flipping and push people to buy stubs instead.
This is a byproduct of the “wheel of sh*t” at the end of the inning progressions. Far more rewarding to sandbag XP and speed up the next inning’s rewards.
@YOSHI24_XBL said in Market Inflation!!!:
My biggest take from this for next year: Go after the gate-keepers first. Then „the next wave“ (we knew, Tatis was having a very good first month) … I bought my last gate-keeper as my very last card and luckily got him (Witt) for 190K (and Judge 236K prox 5 days ago)
Ditto. I nabbed Witt in the 170’s, Judge around 230, and Ramirez a little under 120. I decided to strike during the Diamond Flash Sale to take advantage of the seller wave. Glad I did. Overpaid early for Trout at 160 then bit the bullet on Ohtani at 480 to finish, all NMS.
I about sh!t when I saw the prices yesterday! For once I feel like I did this right!
On the flip side, I’m sick of the [censored] market.
Should finish mine today, NMS. Painful Ohtani bid is finally in. Never finished before July. Packs have been atrocious. Skenes, Skubal, Sale. A few low diamonds. That’s it. Working the snot out of the market and got some help by poaching a few buy/sells from the stub-selling transaction scum. That works really well, by the way, if you find idiots who just don’t stop. Just pick up their patterns and adjust. When they finally learn and give it a rest, go do something else the come back. They’re almost always back at it.
No. I don’t feel bad about it. At all.
