Not at home at the moment looking through the app trying to find the new Bobby Witt Jr. card. Can't find it, searched all the available Royals cards and nothing. Where is it?

Royals/Lugo

They have to have a new Witt. Jr. card available somewhere right? Has to be.

Interesting. The last few days my latency has been hovering around 100 and it's usually in the 30-40 range. My timing online has been way off too. It's weird because my internet speed has been upgraded and the game seems to be playing worse for me.

That is all. Carry on.

Hopefully it's more treats than tricks.

@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN this!! Despite completing the extreme conquest on a mix of HOF and AS difficulty and rarely giving up a run, I get slaughtered online against anyone even vaguely disciplined at the dish.

How are you supposed to get someone out who NEVER swings at anything even a hair outside the zone and who crushes anything inside the zone? Breaking stuff - crushed. Fastball on the corners - crushed. Sliders away - laid off. Changeups the tiniest bit low - both crushed and laid off, sometimes.

The answer is “get better and stop moaning” but how can I lose so badly to a 600 rated online player but beat the CPU on HOF >90% of the time?!

I played someone like that last night in ranked and got whooped. He was 695 and I was 625 I believe. No matter what I threw, outside the zone or in, changed speeds and all. It did not matter. Bombs galore, perfect perfects all around, no weak contact. I was mercied quickly.

Imo, it's about the matchmaking levels. Players who reside in allstar and veteran levels should never be matched with players that reside in hof and legend. There needs to be a system that doesn't allow the better players to drop down levels in ranked. I don't have any real answers but I completely understand why lower level players get discouraged by online play.

Bobby Witt Jr was 4-22 with 1 RBI and 6 Ks in his last 5 games. Not exactly 99 worthy...

Yeah, he won't get one. Garcia will for sure I believe. Witt will get a finest.

Usually when it loses connection there is a pop up window saying so. This time was weird because I seen the game summary at the end showing I won, I literally glanced at my phone for 2 seconds and when I looked again I was at the DD menu with no buttons pushed and the game didn't count.

Last night I was playing the Rockies on the new conquest map. I beat them 6-0, the game ended and the scoreboard showed with the winning and losing pitchers as it usually does. I glance at my phone and then back at the TV screen. I'm at the diamond dynasty main menu all of a sudden without pushing any buttons. I go back to the conquest map and it shows I never played the Rockies!?! Wtf. Nothing counted, the win or stats. It's irritating because I was able to knock out multiple player missions in that game but nothing counted. This has never happened to me before, anyone else?

I just lost a sim 10 v 1. Nothing quite like seeing 10 fans get wiped by 1. This is byfar the worst of the day but it's been a pain simming overall. SDS has definitely fondled the cpu sim in this map alone for some reason

All year, I've had no problems with beating any conquest maps playing on allstar. I'm not having issues playing the game itself, it is the simulation that feels out of whack on this map specifically. The CPU simulation is eating my fans alive. If you don't get lucky with winning simulations here it makes it 10x harder and time consuming to pick up opposing fans. While I'm getting curb stomped by a teams simulation, all the other strongholds are building empires. Why isn't this conquest like all the previous ones?

My internet speed was upgraded 200mbps yesterday by my provider out of the blue. It was already at 400 but now it's 600 and the boost has jacked my timing up a ton. I'm either early or late with weak contact or it's a foul to the left or right now. My gears are grinding.

I haven’t played online very much this year. In previous years I would have at least played 100 ranked games or more by now, I’m currently at 36. This thread inspired me to played some tonight though

For me, the rewards in online modes have felt lackluster, and most end up being 30k stubs cards anyway, so I’ve just grind offline, rip packs, flip cards and buy who I want.

I’ll see how it goes tonight.

I did the same. Right after I made the post before yours I decided to play a game. And exactly what I was talking about happened. This guy had live series Betts with a 400 avg 39 hr and I forget how many rbi, and a few other high stat players. He had a bunch of the new program players in his lineup too getting xp. I lose 3-1, my pitching is clearly better than my hitting. The end of game recap, this guy was ranked at 467 and I was 422 I think. His hitting stats on most of his players dwarfed mine and it clearly showed we shouldn't be matching up with each other regardless if he was just getting started on his new ranked season. I've lost 3 or 4 games in a row now after I started my new season off at 450. There needs to be a better way to separate the skill levels of players online. I understand why so many people don't like to play online because they either run into a goon right off the bat or the next game and get obliterated probably, now they hate online and never return.

Great responses everyone. I would just like to see more people engage with online more so the player pool would even out and not have such of a large skill gap. I'm constantly coming across superior players even in the lower levels that have crazy averages and high counting stats. When you see these players with their .408 BA/47 HR/121 RBI stat lines it's discouraging. You shouldn't be playing me! lol

I believe there needs to be some sort of skill based matchmaking but the goons in this game wouldn't want that, they prefer beating up on the lesser skilled not realizing they are just making the pool of players smaller with their skill and toxic shenanigans.

Just curious, I like to play online and when I read through the forum I see quite a bit of people that say they don't. I'm not judging, I'm average to above average online and would like to know some reasons why is all.

Just started these moments and it's been smooth sailing for me up until the 8TB Abreu one. I completely annihilated his first two HR moments on the first try with perfect perfects. This moment though? 30 minutes in and I've had just 1, the switch has been flipped and it's all weak contact with gold glove play throughout the field. My gears are grinding. Watching these OFs casually chase down my good contact hits so nonchalantly is infuriating. lol

Get rid of the elevation boost online. The goons in this game do not need help.

Anyone else's market and pack shop down still on the companion app?

Yep

The De La Cruz moment was fun while it lasted. He has outlier slider and fastball. Just in that short time that slider was really nasty.

Theres nothing hard about the program. Time consuming, sure....but not every program has to be done in 2 hours. We have until November ffs.

That first moment of the program was no walk in the park for me. Super soft tossing Yarborough vs. a 79 contact vs L hitter was a problem. lol
