@binkz420_xbl said in Cheaters:

You know it'd be real nice if you [censored] cheaters would stop cheating and flooding the market because you're making it impossible for others to complete the Griffey collections. Every single card almost is over $300,000, kind of [censored] especially when games only give you maybe $2,000. It's a baseball game like do you really have to cheat!?

Umm I'm confused if people were flooding the market the prices would go down. It's a supply / demand issue. If you look at the old BR rewards they are 600k+ because no one is selling them on the market. (I'm actually sitting on 31 Lou Brock 92 cards) At this point in the game making stubs is super easy you can make 300k in a few hours.

Congrats you can invest in cards with bigger splits to increase your stack. Flipping at this point provides great profit but the volume isn't that great. Find your niche and keep working it.

@kdclemson_psn said in Ohtani's "Greatest Season Ever":

Articles are being posted every day about Ohtani having the "Greatest Season Ever". Ohtani is about to hit the impressive 9 WAR in a season club, this is an elite club that certainly gives credit to this argument, right.

Ohtani's season is on track to be 130th all-time in WAR. For my non-sabermetrics guys, that basically means it isn't the greatest season ever, it isn't even close.

But who has the greatest season ever? Babe Ruth in 1923, the man who Ohtani is often compared to, with a 14.2 WAR season, more WAR than Ohtani has amassed in his MLB career.

How about the 2nd greatest season ever? That goes to a man by the name of Babe Ruth, who in 1921 posted a 12.9 WAR season.

How about the 3rd greatest season ever? That title goes to little-known former superstar by the name of George, George Herman, or as you may know him... Babe Ruth, with 12.6 WAR in 1927.

As a matter of fact, 5 of the 10 greatest seasons ever, and 6 of the top 11, belong to Babe Ruth.

So Shohei Ohtani, "The Next Babe Ruth" is on pace to have the 130th best season ever, whereas Ruth has half of the top 10 best seasons ever, including the top 3.

Ruth had 16 years where he played at least 100 games. This Ohtani season people are calling maybe the best in MLB history, would only be Ruth's 11th best season, and a down year for him.

Let's end with some stats simpler:

Ohtani 2021 OPS: .986
Ruth career OPS: 1.164
Ruth 1919-1924 OPS: 1.262

Ohtani 2021 ERA: 3.31
Babe Ruth career ERA: 2.28

Let's stop comparing a .260 hitter to a dude who hit over .370 for half a dozen seasons, to a dude who hit more home runs than the entire American League in seasons, and to a dude who beats him in almost any stat. And before the argument that Ruth played in an easier time: (1) Ruth didn't chose his era and if it was so much easier, why was he vastly better than ever other player?

Do you think Ruth could hit off Ohtani and would Ohtani hit Ruth?

@bozzman0109_psn said in Best RF?:

Based on the show zone stats the highest overall ranked RF are

Guerrero
Betts
Walker

Guerrero's card looks great... but defense may drop him some.

I understand that we may prefer not to use someone due to swings or def or other factors. The question was Best RF. So the show zone creates accurate overall based on the system SDS uses and the following are the ranks for RF.

Guerrero 109.98
Betts 109.96
Walker 107.16
Clemente 106.69
Acuna Jr. 104.46
Harper 103.47
Musual 103.25

The site and the app don't work for up to 30 minutes after the update but people on the consoles were able to still buy and sell. Both the app and site had a notice saying "closed for updates" why?

Long sob story about me now being the obligated owner of about 500k in high risk low reward investments. Bummer

let me guess Graveman?

Guerrero

Can't sell but you get a cool 30k

Totalllly worth it. lol

@sumodeads600_psn said in SALVY!!!:

I have no idea how to put a screenshot on here. But investing in 1,200+ Salvy’s over the past month or so has finally paid off. I sold 210 yesterday for an average of ~4200 or so and now I have 1,000 of them to cash in for $5,000,000 stubs! This is by far the best I have done in an investment since starting to play DD last year. I was able to buy most of them for well under $1500 stubs and I think I bought ~150 or so between 2000-2500 stubs.

Now I have two questions:

1. How’d you guys do in your investments?

2. Is the stub cap this year still $5,000,000 like last year? I assumed it was so I was going to zero out my balance before I cash these in.

Yes stub max is at 5m so you will have to place some bogus buy orders on players to hide your $

12-6 is really only thrown by guys who have a high arm slot. Guys who come over the top and are able to snap down. The guys who have the 3/4 delivery throw across their body and the ball has a slurve feel to it.

might be using TN from the wrong month,

Just fire up the alt PS4 and use another alt account. Should be able to get back to 5-0 pretty quickly.

sac bunts are done early in the wind up. use righ thumb for direction before pitch. Drag bunts are done late in wind up and needs to be timed on release. also pick a side with left thumb. I believe the soft or hardness is random? I don't bunt enough for any real sample size.

okay thank you for a real answer instead of crying about glitches and cheese.

Good luck perfecting your bunting.

Don't you have a Fortnite or Roblox tournament to play in? Casual. Imagine thinking that good bunts don't exist in real life. Maybe if you didnt whine and cry about cheese and glitches all day, you would actually be able to comprehend how baseball is really played.

I'm not sure why you are getting so [censored] hurt over my comments? Not sure who is doing the whining and crying it seems like it's mostly coming from you being upset because bunting in the game doesn't work for you? I comprehend just fine how real baseball is played. I just don't think you comprehend the Show is not real baseball.

@raesone_psn said in Is there a certain way to drop bunts?:

So are you asking how to defend against it or how to lay those down and abuse the hell out of it yourself?

If you can't beat em join em.

outlier should be a random roll 60-70% chance that the perk activates. Each hard thrower should have a % of times they throw above 100 and that should be the % outlier is active.

Yep I didn't expect SDS to drop those BR cards into the program this early in the cycle. Gonna have to take my lumps on all the cards I invested in rather than just placing bogus orders to hide $. For those who sold me their cards a month ago looks like you made the right decision as these cards are going to flood the market. I guess only event cards will be rare now. I'll just hold what I own and see what happens. Good thing we only have a few months left I should have enough cash to still own everything. I just won't be as wealthy as I was last year.

Wow. Why are people such a$$holes on this forum? I’m so impressed by your World Series banner, Dude.

Thanks for the validation on the WS banner.
