@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...

@jaker0122_psn said in Stop Being little Babies:

For as long as SDS doesn't impose any sort of penalty on dashboarding online (like they do with MTO), this will always happen.

They can’t; it’s a console feature and they can’t differentiate between a power outage, network disconnect and such. But since most of the time the hr is generated as the ball leaves the bat save the odd hr steal at the wall, they should register it.

Yes they can.. If a person has a certain percentage of disconnects then they lose online privalges for a certain amount of time. Other sports games already do this.

@buddyhightower_xbl said in Cap Pitcher:

@lil_ramram12_psn said in Cap Pitcher:

CAP pitcher just feels like such a waste when there’s a bunch of good pitchers already and when you can have a hitter with 110+ to all hitting stats, 90+ fielding, and 80+ speed

Well, show me another SP that can hit like my SP-CAP.
And guess what? you can do both.
Play CAP pitcher for a game, he gets tired... play him at another position (using a different archetype setup, of course) for 2 games and he is now rested and ready to pitch again.

Right now I use my CAP as SP and then at 1B for days off.

Dumbest thing they ever added to the game... The cap was always a bridge to the good cards come out and to provide a balancing tool for people who didn't put 1500 in the game on opening day. Most people didn't use them when the 99's came out. No way that happens this year.

@fchoneybadger23_xbl said in To keep or to Sell - Mike Trout Edition:

Hey guys, so be honest. Should I keep or sell make trout? I have 7/14 vouchers for Rivera done, almost all of team affinity done and have a team that is a overall of 93 with 92 + players and every position. I feel like upgrades out there to purchase is not worth the 500k but I am wanting to finish the live series collections but still need cole, Betts, Acuña, etc.

Thank y’all in advance!

You answered your own question. You want to do live series so trout is a must keep. He isn't going down anytime soon.

@the_dragon1912 said in Kimbrel:

The only reason they give him a 2 seam is because the minimum number of pitches a guy can have is 3. He only throws 2 pitches

This isn't true for his career. He threw a slider with atlanta and even dabbled with a change. No reason his sig cards couldn't have those pitches. Also edward cabrera throws a two seamer but yet they changed it to a sinker on his card.. Dozens of pitchers are done the same way.

Well he doesn't have any Sig cards yet.....

Just because he has a different card doesn't make it a SS type card. Mo has a sinker because his milestone card is about his entire career.

Dude his 42 card had a sinker and kimbrel got a sig card last year and still only had the 3 same pitches. My point is they choose when to make that a thing. Again edward cabrera doesn't throw a sinker. He throws a 2 seamer. Schwarbs hasn't caught in years but yet everyone of his cards has the secondary of him being a catcher. SDS chooses when to change such things.

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

BTW since you brought up lonnie smith. He cost the braves a championship by being faked out by knoblauch in 91 and i am still salty about that... lol

@thehomiemiike said in Robinson Cano...:

Is the GOAT, oh and Ripken! Love these new Cards! Griffey is nice at the plate kinda sketchy in the field though

Events or RS? Hall of fame or all star?

Ripken and cano are definitely usable on the higher levels. I play on hof and legend and they start for me. Griffey, i haven't used but i need the biggest pci I can get and cano is about the threshhold for me. I just don't see anyone using him on the higher ranks with any consistency.

You don't see anyone using who in the higher levels? Griffey or Cano?

griffey. Cano will be most peoples second basemen if they don't like sanberg or biggio. Griffey won't make the outfield as most will have mantle, walker, and then a few guys at the the third outfield spot(springer,davis,dawson,beli)with griffey not being one of them. I am sure people with stubs will try him but he won't be in most games imo. He is a really bad card due to the contact rating.

If it is jeter then they would have to give him incredibly unrealistic stats for anyone to do the set. I think it's arod. Everyone would want that card and it's pretty obvious that arod will be one of the steroid guys who actually gets in the game and I also think he will be the first to get in hof.

@FuerElise1810 said in FINAL GUESS:

Look up actual rare baseball cards (Honus being #1)

It's Ruth, Aaron, or Mays. Really no wiggle room at all.

If it's ruth, It's an L. Having someone who can't play defense cost this much isn't worth it. Mays would be good but he was a collection award last year so don't think it will be him. Aaron is a huge name but not a name that will get young kids excited so it definitely could be him. I think arod and stocker are also strong possibilities.

I think the trout card is really disappointing. I mean he is a good card but there are real comparisons to be made with springer and walker. A card this expensive should be in no coversation with cards earned for free. He didn't have to be better than mantle but at least close. He isn't. Trout won't even make an outfield spot when jr and mays come out unless you are just a die hard fan.
