It's going to be a screenshot of a frozen screen after a ground ball is hit to second base.
Imagine people being mad that a stat in a video game, that will become an afterthought in 2 months, doesn't register.
@jjdaggasreturns_psn said in Currently in a freeze off (Yes its me be nice lol):
Update on the freeze off: Currently 76hrs
So what you're saying is that even though you're losing you would rather wait out the person who is winning even though you could've played multiple games in the time you've wasted waiting?
And people wonder why online play gets a bad rap.
It lasts FOREVER!
Well, at least until they shut down the servers.

Congratulations to the person who was bunt dancing and contact swinging in first inning of event. You managed to get a cheap run. Where’d you go though when Bryce hit that 3 run nuke off of you that you didn’t stick around to admire like I did? Typical cheesehead who dashboards.
You got the win. Move on.
@blind_bleeder said in Manage Squad Page - I'm Finally Going To Ask:
On the Manage Squad page in the Lineup section, there is a small baseball and a red square next to OVR. Does anyone know what that is for?
Insider's Edge. Live Series players OVR, during the season can fluctuate, in game, based on how they perform against that team in real life.
Makes you wonder if they got rid of cross-play if it would play better?

@bingoxbango_psn said in My Guess on the next few Events: Since the current one ends Feb 4th, and says it's Part 1, I can see the next one being either teams from the East or West. With that one lasting until the 11th. Then the third and final division starts Feb 18th. Which means that we should have new rewards (at least Players) until the 18th. Then that should be the start of the Forever Event and hopefully they set it up the way they set up the 11th Inning. Either Choice packs at certain levels or players card at certain levels. Doesn't it say part 1 of 1?

You are correct. I misread the text.
But I still stand by my prediction that we get an East and a West division Event the next two weeks before we get the Forever Event.
@raesONE_PSN
Actually, I just had MS Kluber go yellow after 18 pitches. But he lasted until the last out in the second because my opponent was a 'free-swinger'.
So, I was wrong in my print reply. Seems about right for an Events game.

I’d like to see dashboard punishment come to fruition. Let’s punish these kids that dashboard out of rage after giving up a homer by banning them for short periods of time when an unauthorized disconnect happens. It’ll stop the practice pretty fast. And to preemptively retort to those who say that not all disconnects are dashboards the answer I have is then they are offline anyways so the 20 minute ban won’t affect them. It’s the dashboarders who will be made to suffer the consequences of this. Other games have done it so why not this game.
Will never happen unless they switch to dedicated servers. To many server issues to distinguish whether or not a person actually dashboard or there was a server error.
Or better yet, let the play count.

@raylewissb47_psn said in Confessions from a dashboarder...: WS and CS players tank so they can take on easier competition to get to 30 wins so using Win/Loss to determine who you play won’t work. I have been saying since it was announced the new 30 or 40 win WS reward in RS would lead to this exact issue. The other half of the problem is people who can’t make WS complained that they couldn’t get the reward so SDS listened and didn’t think it thru. I hate that people want to tank for easy wins, but if there is an exploit, certain people are going to do it. I understand your frustration though and while I hate dashboarders, I can’t say I don’t see your side of the coin here.

How do they resolve it?
Get rid of the Program pack and just have rewards linked to making RS? Then you have casuals complaining.
Set it so that the Program Reward pack, obtained by getting 'X' amount of wins be a non-sellable card? That won't work either.

Well then evidently this player snuck through the cracks because it showed that they had over 400 games played in RS.
I reported them. But it doesn't matter because they'll only get blocked for the rest of 21.
Then they'll just remake the icon in 22.

If we had dedicated servers there would be no dashboard disconnects. And yes I’m well aware that it’s likely not going to happen but other games have implemented cooldown periods like what I just described to deter dashboarding. In fact COD did exactly this prior to their game moving to Dedicated Servers several years back. And yes the devs have tools that can be implemented to detect illegal disconnects. And before you say something like a power outage happening or a random internet outage the cooldown period would only affect those who are habitual offenders. Meaning they would have to do it several time within a given period of time for this punishment to take effect. Someone who has the unfortunate power outage or internet outage would not qualify for a cooldown unless they too have been dashboarding throughout a given period of time. And yes there are tools that can track this with relative ease. It wouldn’t take much to code in the penalty. Maybe next time do some research before you write stuff that you have no clue what your talking about. Btw, when someone dashboards disconnects the play cannot count because it’s not a dedicated server. The reason for this is that the P2P connection has been interrupted. This is why people do it. It’s as if the previous play never happened.

Since I can't figure out how to isolate part of a quote; I'll refer to your last three sentences and reiterate my statement.
Until SDS switches to dedicated servers you'll have people dashboarding because they know the play WON'T count.
If people realize that the play will still count if will eliminate some of the dashboarding.
People may still dashboard because they just want to dashboard.
Punishing someone for something that has NO BEARING other than keeping people from obtaining stats won't happen.
Now, if dashboarding stopped the game from completing, thus resulting in a situation like it wasn't played, then there could be justification for punishing someone.
But losing a stat is miniscule at best and has no other bearing other than the player needs to accomplish it again.
Besides, if you hit 450 Homeruns with a player compared to 500; you the hell cares.

Because it's a 3 inning event game..
Ok, then how come I can use MS Arrieta or MS Verlander for 2 innings before they go yellow?
