@Cannon2091647_XBL thank you! I don't keep up with the show like I used to during covid times and bought the game last year with like one month left before this year's came out. I don't watch the show content creators much, don't follow the show on social media so I didn't know the new format of sets and seasons so was surprised that I wasn't able to use most of my cards in ranked after not playing for a while. Now I know that the game isn't for me anymore it's something I'm going to need to put a whole lot of time into.

@AdeptOfMemory_PSN thank you! Ya, I guess as someone who just plays once in a while, diamond dynasty won't be something I will be doing going forward unless the sets and seasons format changes.

@YOSHI24_XBL yes, I am so sorry that I do not play video games on a regular basis or watch the show youtubers much haha. I barely bought last year's game with like a month left and then bought this one and barely played it because I am usually busy doing other stuff so yes, I must be the only person who didn't know the new way that Ranked seasons is. Next time you comment, maybe have something useful to say instead of being rude because someone does something else besides video games. Have a great day!

So I barely play the game but once in a while I get the itch to play ranked. I go to Ranked and it says my team doesn’t meet season 2 requirements?? When I figured out how to change it I only have live series players I can use. What was the point of changing how ranked works? Why can’t I use all my cards that I have? If I’m not mistaken, it seems that you have to constantly play to earn cards that are playable for each season? What happened to me taking a month off and being able to still use my team that can compete in ranked? If this is the way diamond dynasty is going to work going forward, I guess this will be my last MLB the show game…

Personally, I feel like it's almost been easier this year. At worst it's been the same as last year from my experience.

This sounds like when people look at someone who is super strong and immediately say, "they're obviously on steroids". People who say stuff like that either a) have never worked hard at something in their life so they don't understand how someone can be so good, strong, etc. or b) they do work hard and still aren't good or as good as other people so they build a hate toward anyone who is that good. I could be wrong and you may not be like that at all but that's what you sound like when you make assumptions like this.

Call me crazy, but I would never stay in a freeze off for more than 10 minutes, winning or losing. I have better things to do with my time.

I never understood the "better things to do with my time" argument. If you have better things to do with your time then you can literally go do those better things while letting your game stay in the freeze off until you're done with those better things. Having better things to do with your time literally makes it even easier to stay in a freeze off.

By better things, I'm assuming he means he'd rather just play the game with the time he has allotted rather than just sitting around like some loser waiting for someone else to quit. People who wait hours upon hours during a freeze off are a special kind of moron. Who cares what your [censored] rank or rating is. Just play. If you're close to WS and you lose a game, just keep playing. You're obviously good enough to get back to WS. Plus, none of you people are going to be in the top 100 (likely), so who gives a rat @$$ what your record is!

Got you. I was assuming when people say better things they were talking about things not involving the game.

What I did that moment was hit the first batter every inning so he would be in the stretch which made it super quick. You're up by 8 so giving up the leadoff runner those three innings won't hurt you.

Got Soriano, not liking his swing too much. I don’t want Seimen Bc my lineup is balanced as far as righties and lefties. Honestly just waiting on Roberto Alomar. Has anyone used Brian Roberts?

Did you get the older Alomar card from the daily challenge in May?

Haha I still use him on my squad and he is still doing great.

Bro I saw you match up with OhChev, he denied your friendly quit and you straight up quit the game before the 1st pitch you don't like a challenge? You had like a 1000 rating.

Checked my game history and I don’t think I’ve ever played him. I have quit out when I’m already in World Series and hit 40 wins and dont feel like playing a super sweaty game against someone who wakes up and plays the game until they go to sleep and nothing else. I don’t really see a problem in doing that. I don’t care enough to have a pretty record that won’t matter a year from now I’d much rather have fun…

I wasn't judging it was just funny, I've never seen anyone do that at that level. I would've just played and if he hammers me, so be it. But to each their own lol I hear you.

Edit: his PSN is not the same as his username OhChev, his PSN is EvNaSSty24

I’m not usually one to judge but I really think content creators are pathetic. They really don’t have a life outside of a video game. It’s supposed to be for fun. Not your entire life for 8 months. Like seriously go get your degree some friends god forbid a woman in their life.

Do you know for a fact they don't have a life or are you just assuming? I personally know one of the top MLB the Show content creators and he doesn't just play all day. He has a girl (a good looking one at that) that he's been with for a while, has a lot of friends (my brother being one of them), is always going on trips and living life outside of the video game, and gives away a lot of free stuff. He was doing construction and content at the same time until he started making enough money off of content that he didn't need to work his construction job anymore. I don't know if he has a degree honestly but let's just say he doesn't. What need would he have for it if he's making a very good living off of Youtube? If he wanted to get a degree for the love of knowledge that's fine, but let's be honest, most people get their degrees for what reason? To get a job. He already has a good paying one (Youtube), so why does he necessarily need a degree? Let's say he spends eight hours a day playing and editing his videos. Most of us wake up and go to work for 8-9 hours a day and still have a life, so why do you assume MLB the Show content creators can't do the same thing? I'm not saying I know all of these people's daily lives but I know one of them and he's living a great life along with being a content creator.

It’s a sad life playing video games 8 hours a day plus editing. Like even working a fast food job at least you got real human interaction. To eachs own but you can’t convince me otherwise that majority of the youtubers and streamers are some weird dudes like awkward as hell. The Kyle dude with his “my viewers are just so cute and handsome” is straight up weird. It’s a direct result of staring at a screen all day and not knowing how to have normal human interaction. Don’t even get me started on someone like fuzzy because I don’t even think other content creators like him and that’s saying something

That's fine. I was just pointing out that you can be a content creator and have a normal, healthy life outside of that. I don't know about most of those guys so maybe most of them are weird. I know one like I said and he's pretty cool and lives a healthy life. Either way, have a great day.

Congrats!

I hate posts like these because I just end up arguing with some casuals and get banned for a week. I'll just educate you real quick and then you can do what you want with it...

The best hitters in the league FAIL 60-70% of the time. There's roughly 80-100k sq ft on a baseball field. Including foul territory. You have 9 player strategically placed on the field to cover that area. Players smash the ball by directly to someone or an elite fielder makes a amazing running catch etc. This is why the best players fail 60-70% of the time. Because defenders make plays too. Timing can be perfect and directly off the sweet spot of the barrel... but the pitch trajectory and the spin rate along with wind, all play a major role in the physics of the ball after contact. So "perfect-perfect" being an out is 100000% realistic and people need to stop complaining about it. If it's a big deal, go play RBI Baseball.

A lot of the info above directly applies to your 1, 2 and 3.

Not you again. The OP literally says that line outs are fine so why do you constantly bring up line outs being possible when no one is complaining About line outs. Also, like I told you last time, there is no wind in DD so why do you keep bringing wind up? You are literally getting mad at people for things that they are not even saying.....again.

Thank you, my man!
I just found it funny that my boy hit one perfect and foul.
Then I'm getting arguments! Hahaha!
Most people don't actually read posts, and are looking for a "fight".
It's why I don't post much.
I love to talk baseball, not argue.
You, my friend, get it.
Cheers!

Haha no problem my man. People come on here with crazy complaints but what you're saying makes sense and you even specifically pointed out that line outs are fine which is totally true. Have a great weekend!

My issue with bunting is that it takes no skill. Sac bunting is okay but bunting for hits or to score someone, I don't agree with just for the simple fact that when you bunt you are just letting the computer do the work for you. If they actually made it where you had to work to get a bunt down then I would be okay with it.

Of course it takes skill it is both timing and release of triangle to deaden or push the bunt.

Haha good one.

So timing with hitting is not a skill?

You also seem unaware with how bunting works, in addition to timing it with the initial press you have to release to deaden the ball on contact unless you want to push it then you hold.

I literally though you were trying to be funny. Timing with hitting is definitely a skill. I'm talking about bunting. You're telling me you have to time pitches up to bunt in this game? From what I know you just press triangle and let the game do the work unless they've changed it.

So you are complaining about something and have zero clue how it works...

For as long as I have known, bunting was literally pressing triangle and then aiming with the stick which direction you want the ball to go. Since when did that change? Are you talking about pressing triangle after the pitcher releases the ball opposed to before?
