@Kuhlkilla said in New Postseason cards don't count on Program?:

I finished the moments and inserted a lineup that had all the guys, got some hits, but the Mission for the 9th inning program that says to get hits with Postseason cards didn't count the hits? Is this an oversite?

Yes most likely is an oversight. They will probably address when one of the streamers tell them.

@go4stros25_psn said in Moments are not fun when they aren't easily defeated.:

Moments aren't that bad my guy. I have had a couple that took quite a few attempts (McMahon), but I still get them done. This game already has a problem (imo) with giving things away for free or for little effort. Sorry, but I feel like a bit of a struggle is necessary for a quality game. Right now the only struggle is trying to accumulate enough stubs to complete collections.

Moments are pretty bad. The sliders should reflect the difficulty but they dont. Fielders should field like the back of their card. Moments should also be moments and not 3 inning games or get 2 hits including a home run while also striking out a batter. What do those have to do with each other? Nothing other than making it take longer for no reason.

This has to be the single most frustrating thing with MLB the show...

"An error occurred! There was an issue connecting to the MLB 21 Servers. Please try again."

I absolutely love the game this year but, ffs, why is this still happening like every third buy/sell order? It has been doing this for over a week now.

Sorry I had to vent before I pulled my hair out.

quit bragging about having hair... sheez....

The reason why people play at shippett has nothing to do with the homers as that happens at many parks. It's the lack of lag and the batter eye. Kid's pick these god awful stadiums that lag in the middle of swings and then proceed to do the balk move all game and not allow the batter interface to catch up.

@nymets1987 said in 1990s best starters:

Tons of starters in the 1990s that are not in the game... https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=1999&month=0&season1=1990&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=&filter=&players=0&startdate=&enddate=

Wonder how many we will see by end of December.

Kevin brown prime card or sig card would be too good in this years game. He would be kluber on steroids as his movement was unhittable for 4 years. I am a braves fan and he should have won the cy young in 96 but smoltz got it based on his team being good and his rep. Brown was the best pitcher that year. He was just as good in 97 and won a world series with marlins( stupid eric greg) but livan hernadez and al leiter get way more credit for it. He was a beast.

rollin's defense makes him elite. He is a really good hitter but you don't have to worry about a thing from your ss with him there. I would get rollins and buy musial. Both should be on your team imo

Whomever has been in charge of creating the moments lately has done a horrible job. The showdown moments for ta2 made no sense. Full 3 inning game moments. Long Pitching moments in topps now. I am glad marcus simien got POTM because i don't need him and can do the moments in waves. No telling how bad these will be.

@CDNMoneyMaker93 said in Market Crash today?:

I have been watching the market closely and of course Gold and under prices are spiking for obvious reasons.

I am wondering will we see a market crash on diamond cards that are 90 and above as the go above the exchange limit. What is the view of this forum in this?

To me I think there is a chance as I think there will be HL packs given away in the stage 3 path for example the Jays will have the HL pack that included Paul Molitor in their reward path which would lead to a reduction in his price.

Either super hyped for today should be a fun night of grinding to get the new Blue Jays legends!

Cheers everyone

I do think diamonds will crash today. I however think golds and silvers will sky rocket. I do hope you are correct about the headliner but i just think they will give some more ta packs and GIAH packs.

@raesONE said in Rollins:

I don't think I ever looked at a card and passed on it quicker than I did with Rollins. What a let down.

Lol Musial is the best. I get that Rollins isn’t great, the dude was a 264 career hitter, he should get a 95-97

Had no idea it was this low but then again we know SDS isn't into making cards and ratings like they should be.

Just now getting LS Trout and played with him tonight. 54 vision?m??? Get outta here SDS, he's a career .305 hitter!!!

Trout strikes out 120 plus times a year. Old time players hated striking out as there was an emphasis on that particular stat which doesn't get used today.

I know I’ll get banned for this but just wanted to say I’m glad they’re not playing sports. I hope they keep up the boycott honestly. It’s going to hurt the pockets of the people that need to feel it the most. I love sports but right now I DO see how it takes away from what’s actually going on in the world with racial and social injustice. It’s not a good distraction anymore, for me anyway. Just doesn’t feel right enjoying it. Peace and love guys stay safe

I get your sentiment but protesting themselves isn't going to do anything. It's not a real protest. As soon as they were told they would lose money they came right back. If the athletes wanted real change then they would do ride along with officers and make suggestions on police reform. All sides of the arguments are in favor of police reform. They used to do this until the ride along's starting changing the minds of the people doing the protests. Anyways i get where you are coming from but don't agree with your overall premise.

I hear you man. Definitely seems like an insurmountable task and if money is at the forefront than thats on players. How BIG of a statement would it be for say Patrick Mahomes to cut his check up and say no thanks guys im good. I cant play ball while their unrest in my community. And for people to think he wont make millions without football is just silly. He will be fine

You picked the one who could make millions of sj causes. What about the lineman? What about the practice squad guy? what about the security guards at the games? what about the tv people? what about the camera operators? How do the subsidize their livings? Either way, you are missing my point. These athletes aren't wanting change. IF they did then they would do something that would facilitate change. People have tried to get them to have input on the issues that they claim to be about and they don't do it. That is why i mentioned ride alongs with police. They would rather have a viral moment instead. And again protesting themselves would never do anything because again they are only hurting all of those other people...

I get your point but if the foundation is flawed to begin with and is the problem then all parties need to separate themselves from it. TV people can go in to other media outlets, body guards can body guard something else. Lineman can get jobs as trainers or a long list i dont feel like writing, practice squad guys will have to adapt to the world and pursue another career. If your going to continue to take "the mans" money then you dont have the right to complain. Again who in their right mind thinks Patrick Mahomes is worth 500 million dollars with all this stuff thats going on in the world

so you are saying they shouldn't have the right to make a living doing what they have worked their whole lives to do ? their dreams should be crushed for sj causes? again the causes that will never be addressed because that is how people make money. Do you honestly think the likes of shaun king would ever be satisfied? That is how they make their money.... anyways gotta go...

Use openers in ranked because you can save your good pitching for better opponents.

@the_dragon1912 said in What is the minimum contact and power you consider usable?:

People take power too seriously imo. A lot of them think there is some magic threshold at 80 but the top dot at the center PCI switches at 65 power so anything over 65 can be useful. For contract the minimum I would use on HOF is like mid 80's maybe. Contact ratings don't matter on allstar almost at all.

People don't take power too seriously. You are not hitting a dead center home run with a 65 power card no matter what kind of swing you take 90 percent of the time. They will just fly out right before the warning track. The only saving grace is a created small park will get out. If a card has mid 80's power, then it will depend if they are a pull balanced or push hitter on what they get for power. Over a hundred takes the guess work out of it.

@alwaysswoosh_xbl said in Market is Trash Right Now:

Its because everybody who preordered the game knows not to buy and sell now

no it's not.. People just flip the wrong things early in the season.

@the_dragon1912 said in I think the NMS guys are right:

I think you are all way too used to getting a free quicksell diamond every hour and having a million stubs like its nothing. It's ALWAYS a grind for stubs this early on

I think you are missing the point. Everything in this game is based of stub ratio. The stub to time ratio is very small. They are also giving way less packs because there are no team aff packs this year. When more people start wanting to do collections then the price of the players are going to inflate and they have never really shown they can correct this in a quick manner. Flipping is dang near impossible this year so far ( should get better tonight tho). I think they should be giving way more packs in the required modes so the market doesn't inflate to near impossibilities for NMS and drives them away from the game. I am no money spent but i understand how to work the market and can make stubs reasonably quick even in the tight margins of today. Most people can't.

Good news.. Means no one has to rush and get the program done.

The other option was CJ cron so this is a win all things considered

Not really... he won't be usable. At least cj would have max power and would be a usable card.

They will give Ray a sinker. You want a 1B with max power see the rest of them

Doesn't matter if they give him a sinker. He doesn't throw hard enough and won't have a cutter. I would rather they give him a cutter and instead of replacing the two seam with a sinker.

so far it's just fodder for collections. Obviously that doesn't mean people won't like a card of team that is their favorite. The maddox and gibson cards have a chance to be meta picks.

Joined the 30/30 club with a walkoff HR. Finished the season with 37 bombs and 50 bags. Hit .293 or so. Should be an amazing card! LFG Reds!

If they give him decent 80+ vision, this will be a solid card

Vision means almost nothing it's the high contact you want for a bigger PCI

This is what I was gonna say. If you have any half decent PCI placement, vision doesn’t do much

devs have said high vision improves timing windows over lower vision.

devs have no idea how the hitting engine plays.. They say that to cover the unpredicable nature of what a ball will do with the same swings and pci placement.
