You guys had more time than usual and it isn't even gameplay that is the issue you couldn't get someone that has half a brain to do a prediction on how many people were going to buy the game and then add 25% to make sure we were covered on the servers, the game is unusable at this point.

You gonna give me a discount for a sub-par product at launch, no you'll take my $100 for the "deluxe" version of a product that we waited all year for and not think twice.

This is legitimately the last time I buy this game and I'm not spending another dime on stubs this year, hopefully you fix the vaults so I can actually play with decent rosters on franchise cause that's broken too.

You should be ashamed.

So the moments used to be listed under the inning programs you could try as many times as you wanted and rack up the points to get the bosses. Great no harm no foul now moments for the inning programs are gone, we now have showdown, which costs 500 stubs. Essentially they've made even the inning programs which were so great because you could grab great players for no money pay to play. Ridiculous money grab yet again by sds as if they dont make enough when dudes are dropping 1300 a pop for Mickey Mantle. Might very well be my last year.

My pack luck since TA3 launched is beyond...Packed trout, Vlad ASG twice, Alonso, Peralta (paid pack), countless other diamonds, double digit headliners I can't even believe I've been this lucky and with just free packs except the one paid ASG where I packed Peralta.

I'm usually the guy that opens bundle and pulls the new diamond from the Friday update and I am so glad my luck has finally changed and at just the right time, gonna have Shoei without spending a nickel and finally completed the Mo collection with all the extra stubs.

@x814xmafia_psn said in To everyone that's says it's my fault tot not being able to complete a Moment:

this.is ONE of my first five attempts (all walks) at the Hit a HR in 1,AB with AS Zunino.

So, please explain how I didn't complete it because I didn't hit a pitch that was hittable?

I'm waiting.

When I'm about to walk in a 3 ball count whether 3-0, 3-1 or 3-2 you can still foul off the pitch, use a power swing to shrink the PCI and try and aim on the outside of the ball, honestly if it's anything other than 3-2 just swing and take a strike, you know you can't walk so why are you letting ball 4 happen?

@doihearbossmusic said in Free Packs are JUIIIIICED:

@jediel1823_psn said in Free Packs are JUIIIIICED:

Opened over 70 TA packs, multiple Headliners, and multiple BIAH packs, and not one Diamond.

They ain't juiced for me.

Neither I, shill OP or employee trying to get those stub sales up

How would I be upping stub sales, I just said the free packs from grinding were juiced...don't buy them just finish team affinity.

Just wanted to know if everyone was seeing some luck or I just went on a hot streak.

The Acuna moments were literally some of the easiest moments they have ever put out there honestly, also directional is never the answer.

@lewisnadasurf1_psn said in I finally did it:

Let’s appreciate the moment

I am finally over .500 at 249-248

I’m just going to enjoy this before i purposely lose 8 in a row because I’m at 685 and dangerously close to HoF

4 wins away from 40 too so will have Gossage by the weekend.

Woop woop

I'm 20-4, that is what a 50 hour work week, wife and two yr old will do to you.

Drives me crazy too because I finally started playing on a monitor this year and it's done wonders, now that I'm actually good enough to possibly make WS I don't have the time to play hahahaha.

Just picked up a new TV for Xmas, yes I still play on a TV but HOLY S**T is it different.

Went from god knows what response time to about 10 ms and it is almost unplayable I'm so early on everything idk what to do, even tried practicing on the two higher difficulty levels to see if my timing would be more accurate there but still so early.

Pretty much I've been playing at such a disadvantage for all these years and just thought I was a [censored] player, can't wait to get this down and hopefully finally make WS.

@DoIHearBossMusic said in Headliners Finally As Lit As Last Year!!!!:

@C32231112 said in Headliners Finally As Lit As Last Year!!!!:

Was sitting on like 80k stubs after finally doing the Mantle Collection and was avoiding buying packs but when they released Dibble I said what the hell the return would be huge, so I scooped one Headliner and what do you know pulled him first pop out of the one pack I bought. Feeling lucky did the same with Kemp bought a Headliner and what do you know pulled his a** too.

I remember last year pulling headliners left and right so happy I got a little pack luck back this year because I sure couldn't pull anything to help me with the Mantle collection.

15k in 230k out is way better than flipping lol.

Nice try Ramone

Haha, hey I trash the game all the time for [censored] gameplay this is the first happy experience I've had with the show all year thought I would share but def sounded a little Ramonish lol

TCL 6 Series 65", has a gaming mode that reduces the response time to about 10 ms but I'm honestly thinking about turning it off.

I def see why I've been so [censored] all these years playing on that old Samsung, high inside fastball you almost had to hit swing as the pitch was being released.

I'm so confused, pulled Kemp out of buying only one Headliner but I have Trout Mickey and Reggie in the outfield and I'm light on lefty bats in general already. My only great pitchers are Kluber and Oswalt, coming up on level 40 silver so Hal will be next but do I sell Kemp and grab the new Dustin May or do I keep Kemp and bench either Reggie or Trout....Thoughts?

I actually didn't take long to adjust and now i'm kicking myself for not doing this sooner, WS here I come.

OMG is it easy when you aren't having to swing before the pitcher throws the ball lol, literally was what I had to do if it was an inside fastball before now I actually have to tell myself to wait for it.

Has anyone else had 90% of their perfect perfect placements be outs, no I am not exaggerating. 9 out of every 10 of my perfect perfect hits are line outs in the infield or ground outs. I thought they made this less likely this year seems the opposite.

I know it isn't nearly as bad as some of the previous years but it just shouldn't exist anymore, you fixed it only to bring it back? And I know pitchers get stops but come on they shouldn't be scooping or getting hit by 70% of the balls up the middle, and it seems like you have a worse chance if you smoke the ball than if you hit a dribbler to get it past them. Please fix this.

Are they kidding with this update there is barely any players at all and not one transition from tier to tier what is happening, I didn't think it was possible for SDS to get lazier but they always surprise in the worst way possible

The free packs from affinity three are just insane, I'm pulling double diamonds from ballin is a habit, packed trout in one and can't even count how many low level diamonds and headliners...idk if I'm the only one but wow.

@joeythebigboss said in All-Star should be the only difficulty for all online content:

Good luck pitching on Allstar at times it can be impossible to get good players out that PCI size with 99 players is child’s play .

IDK this year pitching on all star isn't that bad, pinpoint definitely made it a more even playing ground for guys that can pitch and aren't great at hitting like me.

I have a .59 ERA this year through 22 games I think and all games played on all star except the very first couple to get up there.

Only reason I have the record I do 18-4 because I'm terrible at putting runs on the board lol.

@cvnorton2_psn said in Need a 5th SP?:

I’m looking to replace Crochet as my 5th SP since he’s so over used. Currently I have Vida Blue, Pedro Martinez, Cabrera and Harvey as my other 4 SPs. Who would you suggest?

What pitching style do you use, pinpoint, meter what?

Pulse

Then don't bother worrying about what pitcher you are using until you can use pinpoint.

Do you feel better about yourself after making condescending replies on a gaming forum on the internet?

The OP has been nice, polite, and just wants general input from others about the pitchers. I really don't understand people who go out of their way to be toxic.

I'm giving my actual opinion, focus on getting good with pinpoint and he'll have a better feel for the pitchers because the ball goes where you put it and you can actually "pitch" instead of hanging 3 out of 10 with good input. Then when he can use pinpoint he'll learn which pitchers work for him, not trying to be toxic just speaking the truth.

I've used meter pitching since MVP baseball, if you know you know, so about 18 years. I'll never go to anything else unless they ever force some sort of required change. That being said, I'm absolutely deadly with meter and I'll keep using it over pinpoint.

Meter is more viable than pulse, they said it before release accuracy goes, pinpoint, meter then pulse and if you can't tell where the ball is going you can't learn to pitch or which pitchers work for you.

@codywolfgang_xbl said in Why do Twitch streamers play offline? How in the heck do so many people have Acuna and Ohtani?:

Played Weens and BMac yesterday. BMac was streaming but that chubby looking kid Weens who is number one was offline when I played him.

What is the purpose of the guy not streaming? It’s kind of fishy to me. Especially the way he magically pulverized every pitch after doing nothing for three innings.

I haven’t been playing a ton recently but was trying to close out my WS rank before the card values drop so I’ve played like ten games in the last 24 hours….of course get matched up with four guys over 1000 and two top ranked streamers…..anyways like 8 out of my ten games my opponents had Acuna and Ohtani.

How in the hell do these guys manage to complete TA, the Acuna program and some of them be over 1000 in RS within a week? I feel like the amount I play is unsustainable and I have like eight team affinity players. These dudes must play every second other than when they are asleep.

My bad for making an unnecessary post….just wondered what other people thought.

I work more than 40 hours a week and have a two yr old and only play when she's asleep so i get maybe three hours on a good day when my wife is so tired she goes to bed early, some days I don't play at all and I'm done with TA3, using the exchanges is key to completing it easily I think, and I have 8 of ten moments left for Acuna and he is the last card I need for Ohtani.

I did all the missions for Acunia in one game on rookie at CO and no wit is just moments which should take half an hour tops.

@saintskde_xbl said in Vlad, Fielder or Alonzo:

I can't decide who I should start, who is better?

Honestly it won't be popular with all the talent at 1B right now but Olson all the way, his AS version how the HRD, his swing is just perfect for me and a lot of others.
