Extremely lame imo. Should be a live series diamond that can be anyone not just 85-89. Or even something better than that. Either way, live series 85-89 is almost worthless.

You have to grind a ton to get there. And only getting an 85-89 live series is not worth that grind especially when a few of the other rewards along are better than that final one.

Man do not be so invested in a video game. If this game upsets you like this then you need to sit down and take a deep look inside. There must be a lot of areas of your life you are not happy with to put so much stake in a video game experience. Jesus is the way the truth and the life my brother.

He didn't say it is impacting his life or anything lol he just said the game isn't worth it and gave his reason

I never have trouble with moments and all you need is 6 TB and I am having so much trouble with this moment. Anyone else? I hate this card the idea that he apparently has 99 power seems like bs lol

along with fielding. the two usual suspects to why this game is trash again.

I played this gem in ranked, I hope they follow through and ban this scumbag. Trash Human Logo Here

I played some loser yesterday whose logo was the a racist epitaph....he raged quit after I hit 3 HRs off of him. I reported him and hope he gets banned. He was of couse an Xbox player since the Xbox just attracts all the racists

Right….It has nothing to do with Halo or Gears or the other Xbox exclusives like gamepass. When I was deciding which one to get it was my love of racism that made me choose Xbox. You’re extremely intelligent & intuitive.

You really did prove my point...just flock to Xbox like moths to a flame. It is not my fault adults choose Playstation thus why online games are not just a bunch of 12 year olds screaming racist things at each other.

You are clearly intelligent, we all must bow down to you almighty Xbox player

You're embarrassing yourself. Sound like a complete loser.

@desolator78_psn said in MA Tommy Pham moment:

I had to power swing on everything and got it done after that. Was the only one I had trouble with as well.

I am power swinging now and still when I get good timing in the PCI its a dud. Dude doesn't even have warning track power its like middle outfield fly outs. I never have issues with moments especially ones seemingly this easy I am embarrassed haha

@painpa_psn said in MA Tommy Pham moment:

Skip it. do all the missions and all but 3 moments and you ll have 86 pts.collection takes you to lightning.
I am skipping both 6 TB and 2xbh , cause schoop on base 3 times was easy.

Will do. Thanks for the tip man I appreciate it.

@calisgw_psn said in Switch Hitters:

This is a Good Diamond Dynasty year for Switch hitters.

OF
Mickey Mantle 95
Jasson Dominguez 96
Bryan Reynolds 95
3B
Chipper
SS
Wander
2B
Brian Roberts
1B
Eddie Murray
C
Matt Weiter ( best defensive catcher still and has pop)

Others
Pauson , Mauricio, Posada

Mantle will get a 99, Posada chance at 99

Pretty scary lineup if you have a hard time pitching against opposite bat

I like Mauricio over Wander personally

@qwesty16_psn said in MA Tommy Pham moment:

i had trouble with the pham moment

but in an actual game i can hit with him

Same lol I got 2 of the 3 XBHs with Pham in my first game and the 3rd XBH in the 2nd game but I never completed the moment and tried for almost an hour lol

Exit velo's on good timing balls in the PCI are trash. Even on hanging breaking balls! anyone else think hitting still is garbage? and baserunners still react 10 mins after you decide to go forward or go back?

@untchable704_psn said in Contact swing:

What exactly is a contact swing in real life. Anybody know?

a swing is a swing, but a "Contact swing" is more like the traditional 2 strike approach.

So like choking up on the bat. Okay then what’s a power swing lol.

Yes. And a power swing would be like swinging out of your shoes.

So it controls how fast you swing? So in fact contact swing should have a big nerf on exit velos because I assume bat speed times smash factor equals ball speed. I don’t know if baseball uses smash factor like golf but they should.

No it shouldn't. A "contact swing" is just a normal swing. A power swing is trying to get something extra at the expense of less contact ability (smaller PCI). I wouldn't define a contact swing as when people choke up with 2 strikes. I would define it as a normal swing.

@flaw7420_xbl said in Is SDS ever going to fix the called strikes?:

Have you changed your umpire settings to “perfect?” If not, go into settings and try that. Then they call every pitch accurately.

1. I am playing online so you can't do that. And 2. I am not looking for them to be "perfect". But when you paint the edge of the zone it is literally never called a strike. In reality it should be called a strike a good amount of the time since it technically is a strike. In this game, you essentially have to get 50% of the ball or more over the line to get a called strike in this game. That is not how baseball works. SDS devs clearly don't know baseball. It is infuriating imo.

Do they not know baseball? Are they unaware the ball just has to touch the strike zone at all to be a called strike? They don't reward good pitching at all in this game.

It infuriates me how long and slow outfielders and cut off men are throwing the ball while runners are gaining extra bases. Also cannot stand how every throw home in the green, even when there is no white line to get a perfect throw, ends up on the first base side and the catcher as a result leans right to catch it and never tags out the runner at home if it is a close play.

@cobain93_psn said in Contact/Normal/Power Swing?:

I just realized there are 3 swing types LOL

So, I typically press 'X' on PS, which is a 'Normal' swing.

Is everyone who is talking about 'Contact' swing being broken....are they pushing the 'O' button on PS?

I have been playing this game for years and I just learned from this post that there is 3 swings and I am in shock. I thought it was just X and square. And I thought people all along complaining about "contact" swings were complaining about people using X (which I do a decent amount of the time) and I never understood what everyone was complaining about. Now it turns out there is a O swing that is "contact" and my mind is freaking blown lol
