For years, I've dreaded simulating the off-season because the computer makes some really questionable roster moves forcing me to go week by week and check transactions.

Biggest pet peeve, for example, is when you're negotiating your contract offer, it says the team has $159m available in the budget and yet they spend <50% of it. Superstar free agents leave for money the team clearly could've afforded. The computers logic needs revamping or there needs to be a setting for us to have some roster input in this mode.

Anyone share my sentiment?

Hello,

I've noticed when you speak to your pitching coach or manager, there's 3 options to get a 2x XP upgrade: Big Game, K/9 and Token Progress.

Can someone please elaborate on what each one does? Also, can you get boosts from both your manager and pitching coach at the same time?

So, I have a SP RTTS career and I've noticed glitches with the goals. For example, one goal is to have a BAA <.150 in X amount of games and it's measuring that goal against my ERA. I've looked all over and the stat "BAA" isn't even found anywhere! Another one is an ERA < X in a certain amount of games and it's showing me a .222 stat next to it. Another shorter goal is for BAA again and it shows 10.0/0. What is all this??

I've reported this bug to SDS and they need to update this mode. Anyone else having the same issues?

Figured it out. There was 1 territory apparently I missed. Lol.

I've accomplished 5 of 6 goals on USA West in Conquest and am stuck on Goal 6 to conquer all territories. I'm at 208/209. I've cycled through: Reinforce > Move > Attack. On the attack mode, it tells me there aren't any more territories to attack.

How come I get complete Goal 6? Is this a bug or an issue others have?

Please advise.

Was in the marketplace a day or two ago. What happened??

I've always used Pitch Meter for pitching and man, this year, I can't throw anywhere near an accurate strike so far. I literally threw 15 straight balls with 3 different pitchers. Is it just me or does this need fixing??

In prior years, there were tiered bonuses for collecting free agent live series cards. Am I correct that this isn't the case this year? If so, why would anyone not sell a free agent card?

If I'm not looking in the right spot, please advise.

Looks like SDS missed something on player cards. Where is the age of these players?

All year so far, there's only been 4 MLB Alternate uniforms available to begin the collection. Meanwhile we've played multiple conquests etc to get City Connect uniforms but right now they mean nothing for collections. What's the story with this connection so far and why hasn't SDS made it possible yet to collect alternates?

Ever since 2017 when Ken Griffey Jr was the cover athlete, he's been cemented as my #3 hitter. This year, a diamond version of him not being available at launch as a pre order bonus, I was disappointed. Finally, I just earned him for the 2nd Inning Boss and the wait was worth it.

First game back in my #3 spot, didn't disappoint: 2 AB, 2 no-doubt HRs with that beautiful HR swing.

Finally, The Kid is back!!

Anyone know if SDS fixed the bug in DD where on the pause screen the game would freeze? They didn't mention it in Thursdays update...

@Catman9186_PSN The 2x it happened I was playing HOF difficulty.

Happened 2x so far in conquest

So, I'm puzzled of what to do. I pulled LS Aaron Judget in a Show Pack. Being worth 200K+ stubs, I'm not sure what to do. My first guy reaction was sell him and get Ohtani (then realized he's 400K+ stubs, so that's out). I only have 27k stubs, so I could cash in and invest in other players. Over the years, I never really did play well with Judge. All teams that don't have diamond players I have finished collections for. So, I'm thinking cash in on Judge, and finish collections for other teams with cheaper diamond players. My gut says Judge's value will go up with his performance in real-life so and his OVR will increase. What does everyone think??

Yea some are glitched. Another one is "...allow 1 or fewer baserunners." As soon as one runner gets on base you fail. In my mind I'm thinking "that's only 1 baserunner and no one else got on, I win right?"

Up until a couple days ago, my SP had a 72 OVR and had "green" + boosts to all of his pitching and fielding attributes. Suddenly they're nearly all gone. Anyone see the same thing happened? Is this a glitch?

Update 4.4 - now any remaining boosts to pitching stats are gone when I loaded my career this morning.

For the past 5+ years I've played DD on HOF difficulty. In a 3-inning games, I was averaging 3-5 runs per game. So far this year, I'm barely scoring with 1 run / 1-2 hit games.

Anyone think that something is off here or having the same troubles?? Seems HOF is more difficult this year so far.

I can hear Harry Doyle in my head: "One run on one hit. That's all we got!? One gd-dmn hit!?"
