Very true. I did the extreme Anderson one and got it right away. Allowed me to skip a couple. I practically couldn't get one out of the infield with Boggs on the veteran difficutly one. I've never been able to hit with any Boggs card in any version of the show for some reason. But give me a Lindor or an Adam Dunn and I can do no wrong.

I’m sure it’s a combo of bad luck and bad swings from whoever is using my controller, but sometimes getting stuck on a moment ruins a card for me. The other day it took me forever to do the Julio Franco xbh moment. I had five or six straight perfect/perfects go for singles or outs. Today it was a Greenberg xbh moment and me hitting multiple warning track power shots. I know it’s petty but after those I’m like “welp that noodle bat is never going in my lineup”

Has this ever happened to you? What moment/card?

Took advantage of the free download and have been playing for about a week. I played the show from 18-23 and then took a break, got a little burned out. Been enjoying the new game for the most part. Couple of things...

Team Affinity - Real bummer that you can't do exchanges anymore. That'll be quite a grind to get all of those done. But I guess that's what I get for starting in September.

Duplicates - Is there anything to do with dupes other than sell them? I did the exchanges that were available. Is there any reason to hold on to them? Selling all of those will also be quite the grind, but you just can't beat 5 stubs for a common, baby! (Just a side idea for this, I came to the show directly from playing FUT on FC26 and having something similar to their squad building challenges could be a nice thing to do with duplicates)

I'm am most definitely not and never will be a world series level player, but cool to see some exclusive rewards for gettting to 1000 in ranked. Bummer that it'll mean I have no shot at collecting every player.

Anything else I should know about how DD has changed in the last couple years?

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

I see that often on here

Congrats on getting a console with infinite storage space. Some of us have to delete games to make room to try new games.

You see comments like this often because a lot of players are frustrated/losing interest in the game, and this is a good forum for providing feedback to SDS.

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.

I like trying to strike Chisholm out before they can finish the grandma story

The year was 1928. You might have seen Al Capone dancing the Charleston on top of a flagpole.

I don't think any players actually use any of these, I'd just like to see them:

Professor Mutton Chops
The Trash Man
Rob Bob
The Mayor of Savertown (should probably be a closing pitcher)
Chompers

Completely agree with all of this. I've played DD and tried to collect as many cards as possible every year starting with '18 and this is as bored and annoyed as I've ever been with the game.

The perfect/perfect outs in particular seem to be ramped up this year. Especially in Moments and Showdown, where they are just plain inexcusable. User input, not luck, needs to matter in those modes.

But hey at least we get useless cards with cute names! That's fun!

I think the incognito players are embarrassed by how lame this incognito and kaiju content is so they are hiding their names. Same goes for the scoreboard operators, can't see the incognito names there either.

Assuming rewards somewhat coincide with the live roster as they have in the past (good roster gets a diamond, etc), the Cubs will be a 72 Todd Hundley

The only thing I would change is cutting the points needed to go from level 4 to level 5 down a little. I’m cool with it being a long grind but right now it’s a tad too much imo.

I feel like I play a ton (or at least I did until a few weeks ago don’t play much lately) and I’ve only got two players to level 5, both of them SPs. I finally have a couple of hitters getting close and it feels like they have been in my lineup since god was a kid.

So scratch that playing in the event for something to do stuff. 94 and 95 overalls for the rewards. Haha ridiculous. Make the juice at least somewhat worth the squeeze give us POTM Mondessi.

These posts are so discouraging. I was thinking about jumping into online play in the event just for something to do. Nothing worth grinding offline for me anymore. I have a hard enough time hitting and winning under the best of circumstances. I’d go ballistic if I kept losing decent games to freeze offs and disconnects.

I left Facebook five or six years ago. Only thing I miss is trolling fans of rival teams. That was fun.

The pitcher wall is real but I also think the cpu outfielders that rob a home run seemingly every other game deserve an honorable mention.

None I am way too retentive to let packs sit unopened for more than a few minutes.

Next event I can feel it

Anyone find anything interesting in their report?

I found that I played way too many games in general. Not surprising.

Also found that I spent 1% of my time playing showdown. Higher than I would have liked but hey no game is perfect.

Feels like a good day to buy and hold.
