The rosters are such a joke this year. Kevan Smith has been included on the Braves on every official roster and yet Kevan Smith was outrighted out of the Braves organization in August 2021. He is currently a free agent but someone at SDS thinks he still plays for the Braves so he's been included on the Braves on every official roster. It's asinine.

Check swings on this year's game are totally broken. It really sucks to barely tap the button and release it WAY before the pitch reaches the plate and the batter's swing actually stops but then the stupid check swing animation kicks in and causes a swing. It's happened to me quite a few times and each time it's frustrating cause I stopped my swing only to have the animation kick in and cause a swing.

The might honestly be the worst Show game ever made. The amount of issues with this year's game included the worst roster sets SDS has ever given us, man, I'm so freaking annoyed I wasted money on this game. I should have stuck with The Show 20 cause it was a masterful game.

Can someone explain to me how I get stage 2 open when stage 1 goes from levels 1-29 and I've already did all the moments for stage 1? How do I get up more levels to open up stage 2?

You're as far as you can go for now. They are doing it different this year. Instead of dropping the monthly program after the month ends, they are dropping stages of the program throughout the month. So next week or so they will add moments and more cards for stage 2. They will probably drop stage 3 shortly after the month ends if not on the last day of the month.

Thank you for the good answer.

Why is this so hard for some people?

You mean like being new to DD and not understanding how it works so I asked a question? There's no need for the shoddy responses from some of you that have played DD for years and understand how it works. Next time I'll keep my question contained to the OS forums cause at least over there they're not condescending for absolutely no reason.

We should have a roster lock in RS similar to what is in events but on a game by game basis. From that locked roster we could have a vs RHP & LHP lineup…similar to what happens in say…baseball.

Except DD is not real MLB... There are events for LH vs RH and vice versa every year.

But this would solve the problem without having kids back out if they know a lefty was on the bump.

no thanks....then you would likely be playing at a disadvantage due to the other team having all righties or lefties. Not to mention people would start a LHP or RHP opener to lock in that players lineup, then put in the same handed guy the second inning

I get what you're saying, but I believe it's different when playing conquest or mini seasons because we're playing against the CPU and not another player. There's no reason for us to not know which hand starter the CPU is using so we can stack our lineup accordingly. In real life many teams have different lineups based on LHP or RHP. Why can't we in DD?

Am I the only one that thinks fielder speed is way too fast and baserunner speed is way too slow in DD? It's basically impossible to split the gap in a DD game or get it over an outfielder's head. It shouldn't be that hard to get a well hit ball (100 plus MPH exit velo) over an outfielder's head but it's all but impossible. On the flip side, getting an infield hit is pretty much out of the question. Heck, even scoring from 2nd on a single is quite a challenge. A guy with 80 speed should score easily from 2nd but it's always a bang bang play cause everything throw is right on the money. Tagging up to move up a base? Fuhgeddaboudit!!
