So get a run and pause the game for an infinite amount of time and an automatic win? How does self inflicted freeze offs make any sense?

This is the only game I’ve ever played that gives you minutes as opposed to seconds before you are kicked for inactivity. It’s actually ridiculous people get 5-10 minutes a game to pause and waste time.

I would rather take you seriously but it’s actually not possible anymore.

I’m pretty good and bringing in relievers that are “ready and waiting” once the bases have been cleared.

I believe this comes down to FPS. Unless you are actually standing in front of it you will never get a true feel for how fast it actually is, the cameras are playing tricks on you even more so than your confidence level.

Why even wait? Rodney is like the best 7000 stub reliever ever

I still think people are extremely under estimating Xbox users. They’ve picked the superior gaming console for years. They are gamers. They are coming equipped with gaming monitors, sweat rags, and aftermarket controllers that can adjust the sensitivity and dead zone of their PCI.

What I find the most annoying is this is considered “rookie” to SDS. I don’t need to play rookie, but if your gunna call it rookie and it be the easiest setting in the game..... a kid should be able to do it and enjoy it while he does.

I can make WS and finish showdowns 0-15 at a pretty good % but I sat there for 20 minutes before the game gave me 8 total bases with Vlad. This is 20 minutes of not striking out once and making solid contact 4/5 at bats every single game for 20+ games until I finally manage two doubles and a dinger. Imagine some kid trying to do this or even a person who’s eyes are bad, maybe just a bit slow, 90 moments could take MONTHS with how random it plays.

We should be able to choose difficulties and be rewarded for what we do it on. They shouldn’t force good players to play on low difficulties and even worse low players to play on faulty difficulties they pass off as rookie.

Dude looks pretty sick, not everyone is a diamond switch hitting diamond fielding speedster with 99 arm strength and a 5”6 strike zone.

Conquest the first night is usually the most popular choice. It’s has pretty good free cards and packs every year. Its three inning games vs the CPU. Probably watch a quick video first but it’s ez.

After a few games go look at “Team affinity” and see all the progress your making with the cards you got, then choose which teams cards you really want to unlock and get some players from those teams (all free btw)

Then go to the XP path and see how far you are and how many amazing cards are in it (again free)

Then go back and finish conquest.

Do what you want with your $, you can only buy stubs, stubs buy packs or cards, the cards are the smart option, the packs are the other option.

If you do get a Diamond, see what collecting the whole team rewards you in “collections” then look in collections for more fun.

Then play the game until you can buy all the cards, complete all the collections, and then come back next year.

Much needed news but I find it a bit crazy they are going to let the people cheating slide and just straight ban the logo creators lmao.

@pats1124_psn said in Best reliever?:

Darren O’day and Eric Gagne are both criminally underrated

Truth. Having a deadly soft [censored] that mixes up the timing is really useful. Benefits the next reliever who probably has heat as well. I usually have one but with Franco you can have a righty and lefty to mix things up like crazy, then bring in dibble or Chapman and that’s pretty tough to adjust too.

Only homer I hit off one of those creatures was outside the zone and my PCI on HOF.

Pretty insane even without outlier. If they earned it through hundreds of actual innings that would be one thing, but it’s broken player from a broken exploit.

@gixxerryder750 said in Perfect Platoons...:

So what do you do with your Platoons the next time around and they switch pitchers on you again?

You simply start the Lefties that usually have close to maxed out Right handed hitting and bring in the Right handed hitter who is usually more balanced from both sides. Also it doesn’t matter as much if it’s a switch hitter like Mantle and it’s an even bigger bonus when they pound Lefites like him or Ketel Marte who was great for this early on. Niko Goodrum as well.

I’ve had one of these on my team off and on for years. Maxed out Granderson back in 17, when it was a lefty, enter Ben Zobrist who is a switch hitter that does better against lefties and still really well against righties.

Pretty solid strategy if it’s not over done, and having a S hitter on the bench is never a bad idea, sometimes people will leave a pitcher in for an extra batter if they don’t get a match up.

These are the 4 things I need left to get Chipper Jones. Not sure what order I should go in, considering I have a destitute 134k Stubs. I'm thinking deGrom since it'll add a much needed lefty arm in the bullpen, as well as a quality starter, but man, that conglomerate sure is tempting

For reference, I do already have Kershaw, Bauer, and Funcy, meaning I ONLY need to get Betts, Bellinger, Buehler, and Bob Seager

Oh yeah. DeGrom great lefty. This isn’t a great cheeseball thread. I expect something better

Haha tool bag

He needs funcy and Bob seager? I’m sorry but reads like someone trying to be funny

If you have an IQ above ten it’s reads I have Muncy and need Seager.

Stop digging a bigger whole.

The sad part is that the back end data has been there all this time and they claim they are always looking. The amount of games that froze after 3 IBB wasn’t missed unless they’re weren’t doing anything to try and fix it.

Custom leagues are about to start popping off.

SDS had a freeze off during a pre release stream one year advertising the game. I really don’t think they care, or they just can’t fix it with the staff they have, or the servers they choose to rent. This video will likely do nothing sadly.

Although this is finally pretty clear evidence off freeze offs unlike all the Zen offline homerun derby videos lmao.

@dap1234567890 said in Records reset but not stats?:

Stats and records do NOT reset. Rating drops a bit and that is it.

Oh records didnt? I thought mine was.... guess not.

There is a current season record and I believe what is wrongly called “lifetime” which is just this years stats.

If you are looking in the leaderboard under “current season” then I believe it will have reset statistics for the current season as well, like BA ERA and so on.

If you were to go to specific cards it will show stats from the entire year and I don’t believe you can check any “Specific card” for their current season stats.

If you’ve ever been a online franchise or custom leagues (live series roster) player, you know exactly how different and balanced the gameplay is with standard MLB players. You see all of baseball, singles, doubles, power hitting teams, contact and speed teams, deep pitching teams, there is no META with live series players, you can’t build a team better or equal to everyone that you play, you have to play to your style and build a team around it as best you can.

It’s when you enter DD and see Monstars vs Tune Squads that starts to mess things up.

I don’t know what some people on here were in about. Soriano is a god so enjoy, I can’t wait for Chipper and Ortiz I’m a Cole away but out of earnable packs and stubs for the most part. Need some real luck soon
