I think the expiring cards thing is absolutely insane- didn’t really think about it when the game first released but now that we are getting closer to to season 3 and set 1 cards won’t be useable I really feel cheated

I spent money/stubs on some of these cards they’re my property. I’ve built their averages up and I want to continue to use them and decide on my own if I want to replace them or not

Imagine going to footlocker spending money and buying 3 pairs of sneakers and the manager comes out and says- “thank you for your purchase, you can only wear the brown sneakers for a month and then you have to burn them”

like this makes no sense

@Honor_The_Game44_PSN said in Expiring Cards is absolutely ridiculous:

I get what you are saying, but I think this is the age we live in. Games are modeled after mobile games which are designed to keep people playing and spending currency.

No that’s exactly what it is and it’s really frustrating- it’s a money grab

Like I bought the BR reward Griffey- so now in a month I won’t be able to use him but they will come out with a new 99 Griffey that I either have to grind for or pay more money for

I’m almost disgusted with this- sorry if it sounds like I just woke from a coma but this really didn’t hit me in the earlier months of the game bc we were able to use any cards we like

What are your thoughts. Is this the best SDS could do?

Yikes….guess I should have sold my extras yesterday…..expecting these will now drop.

Nothing against cutch, I’ve liked his cards from previous years, but just not an elite level collection reward player.

How do you know what his attributes will be? Lol you guys are complaining about the card without even knowing what the card entails

@GUN_DEEZY_PSN said in Can’t invite friends:

Friend list is just blank. Literally cannot invite anyone to play against or with in ranked coop.

Came to make a thread about this

Tried to play some random dude in a friendly and we couldn’t invite each other.

Tried to do casual co-op and it said the same thing… wouldn’t this be an issue for their tournament this weekend?

This is what we get in a DD pack after a week of no content? A guy who has 2 seasons in his career that were good and is out of the league by his early 30s? Couldn’t find anyone else that might deserve a 99 ( or in this years case, ANOTHER 99) and get people excited

Come on, SDS, do better…

But he played for San Diego, so you know... anyway careful with the criticism, people could come for your neck.

Lol stop it man- this thuney comparison shtick is getting old

All this forum does is criticize sds and this game- you know why no one’s is penalized for it? BC WE DO NOT WORK/CONTRACTED BY SDS

I’ve never seen such a fake outrage about something so irrelevant lol

Scan has been doing the same thing as thuney has been doing and scan kept his mouth shut because he still wanted to keep his position

Thuney didn’t and has said multiple times he knew he was getting fired weeks prior… so he made his bed

Can we please stop with the self pity for him

What does Thuney have to do with this? Can you stay on topic, that was the other thread. Catch up.

No one is dumb here- your statement “watch the criticism or they will come for your neck” was in reference to the thuney situation that you literally made a thread about lol

You’re obsessed with it and it’s literally the most asinine thing to be obsessed/upset about

Get over it

Oh you poor soul. Do you really think I made that statement over that stupid Thuney thread? You might be new around here, but I'm not. Trust me I have many more gripes than Thuney. Catch up.

your statement was literally in correlation to the thuney situation

You made a thread crying that thuney was fired for criticizing sds publicly

Some one makes a thread criticizing sds and your response is “watch out or they will come for you neck”

You can’t even own up to it lol. Just stop bro it’s embarrassing

What's this have to do with records being reset?

You’re response to him having a gripe about his record visibly being reset to 0-0 was “who cares it’s just a video game”

You made a thread last night about some dude throwing you 3 sliders and then you hitting a HR and him quitting and sending you a message… do you really think anyone cares about that? Did you think that was important enough to make a thread about? Like who cares, it’s just a video game.

Hence the irony of you saying to OP “who cares it’s just a video game” about his gripe with the records being 0-0 when you load up a game

I mean really

How can you even ask/answer this question without seeing the cards attributes

Like seriously

Easily, nobody wants McCutchen as the collection reward, except maybe a fanboy like you.

A fanboy? you guys are beyond absurd

You have no clue what the card will look like or play like attributes wise- you’re just whining because you’re not satisfied- you know who does that right? I’ll let you figure it out

@ericulous1_psn said in 2nd Half Napoli:

Well, to each his own. But this card absolutely mashes. Of course you could just flip for a bit while watching a game. I hear there are some really excellent margins right now. He's one of my top 10 cards in the game right now.

Yea I just bought him yesterday for around 60k and used in a ranked game

He went 2-5 with 2 home runs- so far I’m pleased and his swing is

@H-TOWN713-X1HQX_XBL said in Can we please acknowledge the choppiness of 23??:

There’s a HUGE difference when I’m playing MLB 22 vs 23. I thought it was just me or my connection when I bought 23. After further testing it’s MLB 23 that’s the problem. I did a number of things to try and figure out what is the problem was.

-Checked my internet speed and everything was good 580 download speed, 28 upload speed, 0% packet loss,
-Cleared out old games I no longer play
-Cleared out my persistent storage
-Switched from playing on a TV to a monitor
-Cleared out my MAC address
-Changed port selection
-And a couple of other things.

But nothing changed, I use pin point pitching and the lag/ choppiness when I’m pitching is DEFINITELY noticeable when I’m trying to use PPP. Finally I was like screw it let me put 22 back on and everything’s back to normal. There’s no more choppiness or lag when I’m pitching. I was getting perfect pitching consistently which isn’t the case in 23 where I’m lucky to get a couple of perfect inputs.

It’s not just pitching but also hitting I can hit way better in 22 vs 23. Played a couple of games on 22 and was scoring more runs hitting WAY better cause I could clearly see the ball better. I know there’s no clear evidence on hitting but there’s a HUGE difference when I’m using PPP. Like the movement it tells me to make when using PPP I can CLEARLY see there’s lag/choppiness in 23 as compared to 22 it’s all one smooth movement.

I’m playin on Xbox 1 the older gen could 23 not be supported as much as 22 was? The lag/ choppiness is there vs cpu not just in H2H. Any idea what else I can do to fix it? It’s clearly the game and not my connection. Any help is greatly greatly appreciated cause this problem has really been a turn off for me playing even against the cpu mini seasons which I love playing.

I mean you wrote all that in the beginning but the first sentence of your last paragraph was all that needed to be said

You’re playing on an Xbox 1. That’s why your game feels the way it does. This has been a known thing for a while now

@BJDUBBYAH_PSN said in Expiring Cards is absolutely ridiculous:

It’s almost like people constantly whined about the game being the same year after, so they changed it. Weird.

Na I wasn’t one of those people

And honestly what people complained about last year was GAMEPLAY-

Content was never an issue with this game

Everyone always said content/cards are great and always have the content team props

Last year the issue was gameplay

Read the comments of any social media post from the last two years. Any platform, any post.

Lol what? People did not complain about content

The main complaint was gameplay last year

That’s why sds made sure to address that in their streams before 23 was released

The main complaint was not content

Are we literally rewriting history right now?? Lol bro it wasn’t that long ago

@mjfc_363_PSN said in Expiring Cards is absolutely ridiculous:

The content is only gonna get better so I wouldn’t sweat it.

The issue isn’t if the content will be great or not

The issue is being FORCED to have cards your grinded for be absolutely irrelevant in a month or so

Just picture if you grinded season one for chipper, babe and Pedro

You can literally only use one of them next month and that’s only if you decide to make one of them your wildcard over your other cards at that

That’s wayyyyyyy too much grinding to have the cards you grinded for be irrelevant

And I don’t think you’re going to get much better than chipper or babe- maybe equal but not better… if anything might be slightly better

Chipper and Babe are pretty much maxed out lol

Babe is 100% maxed out.

@BearDownGoBlue said in This game has jumped the shark while riding a dollar store knockoff godzilla:

Boring grinds, quantity over quality when it comes to content, etc. etc., I agree with most of the criticisms of this year's game that appear on this forum regularly.

Maybe I've just been playing the game for too long IDK, but this year's DD has just not been fun since about week 2 or 3.

I realize this isn't an airport and I don't have to announce my departure, but I'm deleting the game for at least a few weeks. Maybe I'll come back for season 3 where there will be 30 brand new unusable future starts to grind for in TA3.

Hope things get better and more interesting in future seasons, but I have a feeling '24 will be the first year since '18 that I don't buy this game.

Signed,

BearDown "Chad Brad!" GoBlue

Why so dramatic with the “I’m deleting the game for a few weeks” comment

I see that often on here

If you’re not having fun and want to take a break then just don’t play the game- deleting and reinstalling just seems like a waste of time lol

And I’m having an amazing time with the game- know why? Because I like getting better and honing my skills!

I’m pretty good but I’m no where near the best, never will be but I enjoy getting better and better- that’s fun to me!

If guys that are rated 1200-1300 and are top players in the world and win most of their games are still having fun I don’t see how everyone on this board whom are probably nowhere near as good as them are “bored” of the game

It’s so weird though because when you go on Reddit or Twitter there’s not as nearly as many complaints as it is on this forum

just take a look at the shows subreddit and it’s just a bunch of people actually discussing the game, content being released, etc etc… and most of it is very positive…

Come here and the first page of the DD forum is just a bunch of people complaining about how bored they are or how “horrible” the game is(when the game has obviously improved greatly from last year, gameplay and content wise)

I think I have a theory why it’s like that- let’s just say I feel like majority of users on this forum are just “out the loop”… in so many words

@raesONE-_PSN said in Another prime example of SDS excellence and class:

Thuney has announced he is no longer an e-sports ambassador for SDS and said it was not his decision and the reason the decision was made is because he had talked negatively in public about the current state of the tournaments organized by SDS.

For those who don't know, Thuney is the guy who does the commentary for the games and he is beloved by the community who participates in these events. He is very passionate and, like many others, he would like to see MLBTS make significant steps to become a worthy e-sports title.

But since the tournaments have been a hot mess and SDS doesn't seem to care about it, he voiced his frustrations on his personal social platform. This lead SDS to strip him from his ambassador role moving forward.

Classy as always SDS, great work. You truly understand how to build a community.

If you’re an employee you do not bad mouth your employer publicly this is just common knowledge. If you have differences with your employer you talk to them privately and if a resolution can’t be found then both parties move on

Also if you go on an interview and you start bashing your former employee chances are you won’t get hired bc they feel why wouldn’t this person bash us to others just like he’s bashing his former employer

I told this to thuney last night in his chat and he still seems to not grasp this concept 100% bc he still believes he shouldn’t of been fired but at the same time says he knew he was going to get canned for weeks before his rant

He told me he’s 26 trying to say he’s grown etc etc etc… I love it when 26 year olds think they know everything lol… so much to learn

He is not an employee so your whole argument is moot. Also, he provided criticism about the thing he did for them it's not random or uncalled for. I bet none of you clowns actually participate in this championship so you have no idea how bad it was. It's extremely frustrating for everyone involved and him being the face and vocal point of that event, he has every right to voice his displeasure. If that results in SDS cutting ties with him instead of acknowledging the issue and promise to be better, than they are the ones who are to be shamed, not him.

He was hired by SDS as an ambassador for the game. Just like Scan and Yeyo are.

Was he getting paid for his services? If so then yes he was employed/contracted by sds

You can’t fire someone if they don’t work for you and he was fired.

Unless he was a volunteer and did this because he loved commenting and wasn’t getting compensation from SDS- he was an “employee” in some capacity

If you have a collaboration going on, you work as a private contractor and you are not on the company payroll like the actual employees are. They most likely also don't receive benefits or others perks, again contrary to actual employees. So, not an employee.

I literally said in my post, “contracted”’, which you chose to ignore

And he was contracted to do a duty for sds- he spoke out negatively and his contract was the canceled

Do you think a company that hires an independent contractor would continue to do business with that person if the person publicly spoke negative about the company?

Like what world do you guys live in?

The one where employees and contractors are not the same.

What are you talking about lol? He was being paid by sds- he was contracted/compensated to do something for the company

He spoke negative about the company publicly and was fired.

Like this is how it would go 99.999% of times irl… why is it different this time

If you owned a company and contracted someone to do a job for your company and then in turn those contracted persons when on Twitter and tv bashing your company would you continue to contract them and do business with them?

This isn’t rocket science bud
