You're going to push 90% of your players away from this absolutely pathetic attempt at a game long before NCAA even drops. Read the room and listen to your customers for once.

Nothing but a money grabbing regression.

@BJDUBBYAH lol buddy you fanboys are very much in the minority across the board. Keep living those delusions bud, the seroquel will kick in soon.

I know this is a wild out there idea SDS but maybe have pitchers in moments not throw 99.9% of their pitches 9 feet outside of the strike zone. Can't complete 8 bases when you get walked all 4 at bats.

Pack odds are the worst they’ve ever been, idc what anyone says they’ve changed them.

Unless you're in the SDS marketing department.... oops I meant streamers.

50k and 100k milestones seem to be the problem. So the wheel spin really does only work half the time.

Idk but I do know I sure am sick of the walking simulator playing the CPU has become. 9 inning game 7 whole pitches anywhere near the zone.

@crash447_xbl said in 160 packs:

My theory is if you are buying packs to buy them at the start of the game or during a stub sale. I have a very unfounded theory that there are better odds at those times and worse odds other times which balance everything out to the 1 in 50. Saying all of that…I am sure I will blow stubs on packs this week.

Don't give these schmucks anymore more money.

I never said I spend money nor encouraged others to do so. Just pointed out the time that it seems diamonds flow more and if you think about it, it makes sense from a business aspect.

Never said you did, it was a PSA for everyone. Don't give these schmucks money because they nerfed all rewards. That's why they nerfed them; so everyone would get pissed off in the first 4 weeks and buy stubbs.

@emokilla13_xbl said in MLB The Show Support?:

Is their support dept always this horrendous? I've opened multiple tickets over the month and not one has been addressed.

Very much so man people have unanswered support tickets from launch day.

@thegreatwilliss_xbl said in How do you break $hit with every update!:

I feel patch has made strikeouts bit easier than before but foul balls in the zone happen alot still and even really hard balls to make contact on too but i feel the really awful timing swings are striking out more now

I just had Frank foul off 10 pitches in one at bat in miniseasons. Threw a slider and it forced a meatball, I won the game but Jesus the CPU scripting is awful.

@tgn848_psn said in Anyone else using Taijuan Walkers June card?:

I liked using him vs cpu, but couldn’t justify the 30k price tag so I sold him back. Not doing the POTM program so don’t really need him. I like his quick windup tho

I'd do POTM just for 95 Reynolds, he plays so far above his stats.

@sandule_PSN said in Chase Pack Garbage!:

I am 4 for 4 in getting golds from a Chase Pack! Seriously SDS. Absolute joke.

I know with that massive sample size...HAHAHAHA!

Here we go again with someone else who doesn't understand odds are for each pack and that their other packs have absolute no bearing on the odds of any future pack!

Every year, seriously, why does this even come up in this forum? People just don't learn and love to just hear themselves whine about this game!

Reading is hard isn't it Dap? Just glossing over what he said that's a valid criticism. SDS isn't going to date you dude.

Maybe it’s like Willy Wonka.

I was hoping for a triceratops.

First 1-2 weeks of play everyone has at least 97 rated players up and down their roster. So, if you play online you're playing against the same level teams

So your issue is that you're playing on a level playing field and getting smashed online?

Also, every time i see posts like this, i cant help but think the issue some people have with 99s so early is the fact that they cant just grind BR and events all day while manipulating the market and keeping the prices high for people who dont grind online but still want the cards.

How TF do some of you turn these posts into about how skilled/good someone is at the game???

Sorry, his post said NOTHING about winning or losing.

What is fun or strategic about playing with all 97/99's?

I'd really LOVE to see just ONE person who says they LIKE this new way of doing things to give a mature, logical, intelligent explanation as to WHY that's the case.

Nope. It's like you're incapable of it. And then people call me "elitist" for saying that SDS has done nothing but DUMBED DOWN Diamond Dynasty this year. And I think time will tell us that they've done so for one reason - PROFT. But unlike EA and Take2...no one will call them out for it.

The one thing no one in here has answered when asked is....whats the difference when your team of 88-90 is facing another full team of 88-90? Whats the difference when your team full of 93-95 is against another team of 93-95? What about when your team of 97 is against another full team of 97s?

There is exactly zero difference in any of that and the way it is now except the fact that we see a higher number in that shiny blue diamond on the top corner of the card. Get over it.

Anyone who’s played this game knows the difference.

First off, the game is going to play different with all these 97/99 cards especially ones with multiple 100+ hitting ratings. The game is also going to play different seeing as the amount of content of 97/99 hitters has outpaced the amount of 97/99 pitchers.

The second difference is it made a huge portion of cards completely irrelevant.

How many Live Series Captains have you played against or used? Collecting the LS collections for the card you got as a reward used to be a great way to build your team.

How many of those cards even got used?

Almost none.

And that move took the new Captain “boosts” tied to those cards and also made them irrelevant. Which made the idea of people actually having an incentive to use LS cards irrelevant too.

What was the point of 98% of these cards?

I’ve barely seen any of them used. But I see WBC Lindor, Murikami, Santander, and Trout in almost EVERY game I play.

It honestly feels like they mapped out the content for the mode…and then one day a week before launch someone decided to bump all this content up and do 99’s from Day 1.

The question I’ve seen no one answer is what were the point of these Choice cards you got thru TA? What were the point of the LA Captain rewards for LS collections? What was the point of these Captains like Andrés and Gimenez, etc?

Is it even possible to get a Tier 3 boost with “Veteran” and “Breakout” cards? Why is there no “Rookie” or “2nd Half” captain?

The point of these cards was just to have one more notch on the way to Jazz, Trea, and Chipper/Babe/Pedro?

If they hadn’t flooded the market with all these 97/99’s maybe we would have actually seen people fight to complete LS Collections to use cards like Salmon, Musial, Snider, Rivera, etc, etc…

But there was literally no incentive to do that. And definitely zero incentive to actually PLAY WITH those cards. Not when they were instantly outclassed on Day 1 by those crazy juiced WBC cards.

Sorry…but anyone who has played the mode for more than a year or two knows the game plays a little different with 90s VS 90s then it does with 97/99s VS 97/99s.

Jumping everything up to 97/99s then makes even more cards absolutely unplayable.

If I know my opponents will be using a majority of the “meta” 88-92 cards…I can still get away with selectively playing some 80-85 cards…maybe with the goal of trying to Parellel them. Or play some 70-80s with a Captain boost!

But…doing that against a team full of 97/99s is just putting you at a severe disadvantage. One that only the top players in the world are going to be able to overcome

Take a step back and look at all the content and then look at how it’s all been used. Dropping the 97/99s this early did nothing but make 95% or more of the content unusable. It made lineup variety almost non-existent.

We’re approaching the end of Season 1…and I don’t think it’s been good for the mode.

I’m sure SDS has stats on cards used…and I bet the stats are heavily tilted to about 30-40 cards…and I may be overestimating that.

You think that’s a good direction for the mode from Day 1?

Yeah im not reading all this and im guessing no one else in here will either. I'm just gonna close this conversation by repeating what i've already said. Maybe this just isn't for you. You should try to accept that and move on.

That says far more of you than it does him. Completely disregard someone's point because "reading is hard". Your comment carries zero weight. He isn't wrong.

Theres a difference between disregarding someones opinion and making the decision not to read War and Peace just to hear "I dont like 99s so early"

Just say you can't read. It isn't that long.

There should be a matchmaking setting for MLB parks only. I'm getting sick of the minor league and created trash plaguing this game.

Wander and Jackie can not field routine balls anymore. 50/50 chance it's an error or completely missing it, almost like the ball is phasing through their gloves.

Same thing happened with me but I don't remember picking Cronenworth twice, im usually really careful about that so it was a bit of a surprise to go into the collection and see the dreaded x2 on his card. Submitted a ticket hopefully they respond.
