I don't play Madden. I'm wondering how you can compare the two and say one is a better game? It's an entirely different sport.

It’s not sport vs sport, It’s the structure of MUT vs the structure of DD....MUT is way better in so many ways. Just a few examples...

You can earn tons of coins every week just playing the weekly modes - Solo battles & Weekend League...The Show doesn’t offer anything like that. In the show unless you’re a great player that can go 12-0 or make WS or spend tons of time working the market you’re not gonna make a lot of coins easily.

In MUT most good players have a power up card that starts as around a 70 overall that you can spend training on to build them up to a high 90’s card. In DD you are completely at the mercy of what SDS drops to you.

In MUT you can increase your team’s attributes by adding different types of chemistry to the team, stadiums, uniforms & coaches.

And the gameplay...You don’t have the RNG that you have in the show. The only RNG is when non user controlled players like a offensive tackle & a pass rusher are fighting.

All that is bad man. No one wants that here. And you earn tons of stubs just playing stuff here. Way more "coins" than you can get on Madden. DD in MLB TS is easily the best fantasy build your own team type of sports game mode. Guarantee I am not in the minority on that.

And the RNG? That is 90% of your game in Madden. You cannot control all those other guys.

But honestly I think you are trolling or kidding because you did just name all the worst things about Madden now that I think about it.

I am still not able to make contact on pitch outs though. I should be able to rips those down the line for extra bases. So they still have work to do.

He will be out too soon. But maybe a bus will run him over afterwards.

I was worried about the LS collection at first, but now I am just a couple big NL cards away from complete. So I am right on pace with the last couple years game. Definitely dont need to spend extra.

@skepple15 if some is spamming KB every pitch then yeah their cheesing, if I’m using my whole pitch inventory and am EFFECTIVE then theres a skill gap. All the hate for Knucklers since the Dickey days of 13 continues haha

I completely disagree with this. It is actually opposite. IRL KB pitchers dont throw any other pitch. very seldom will they sneak in a FB or another pitch. The reason you are mixing other pitches in is so your opponent cannot time the KB, because you know it will get crushed. That is even more cheesy.

Just enable auto aim and track pitch in settings. Its amazing.

@JediOfArgonath said in What a game:

Respect? Dude made a HORRIBLE base running decision and was dead to rights. Dodgers just committed the biggest choke job in sports history. Rays were handed a game they didn’t earn. Oh well, At least it’s not a real World Series.

If the other team cannot make a play to get you out then I think you earned it. That is who you re playing against. if they dont do what they suppose to do and you do then you beat them. Could have went either way.

Plus besides all that it would have at least been tied regardless of the miscues.

Clubber Lang? You misspelled his name, 2 "b"s not 1. He hits you, you dont hit him. "I pity the fooo!"

Yeah kinda weird. It is like we are just wasting XP by playing that we could use for next inning. They really should have never taken away the XP reward path. That was an excellent thing they had going. Very odd that they changed that.

May make things tough on people trying to complete collections after Roster Updates. There are already multiple Commons or Bronzes out there going for thousands that have no buy order available. Just because of the huge cut back in pack circulation this year. And the game has only technically been out 2 weeks and 2 days.

HoF difficulty? Humm, might have to jump in. It might play half decent.

They have a Thai version?
Who's on the cover? Johnny Damon?

Should have got him for around 11k on Friday when he was downgraded again. He slowly went back up.

Plus it will all balance out. I paid 36k for him for collections, and paid like 150k for Vlad, but I only paid 9k for Buxton, 26k for Rameriz, and also got Hader and Burnes for cheap.

This I would play. I absolutely hate Moonshot events. Even though I played 1 game in this event. Hit a lead off HR with Trout and that was the only hit of the game. Zero for my Opp and no more for me. 1-0 lol.

Whatever you do, quick sell him. Dont sell him on the market. You will thank me later.

Ironically I thought that was what the double Bunt dance was for, or the double quick pause if you are pitching.

@painpa_psn said in Reds Hunter Greene throws no-no through 7 1/3...:

From the mlb.com article at the bottom

Per the Elias Sports Bureau, a no-hitter needs to be at least nine innings in order to be official.

Whats crazy is if you pitch 9 hitless but go to the 10th and give up a hit it isnt a no hitter either.

They never did in the past, when it was actually hard to get everyone "no money spent". But now that it has been easy last few years you see it everywhere.

Its all a streamer, YouTube thing. People see them saying it so they start saying it. These YouTubers and streamer guys are kinda new to the whole, "wait, you dont have to break the bank day 1 to get these collections done?" Because they are so use to doing just that and claiming it as expenses on their taxes at the end of the year.

@painpa_psn said in Reds Hunter Greene throws no-no through 7 1/3...:

extra bad news. not just a loss but it wasnt a no no either

????, did they change it? That would actually be better if they rule something a hit.

nothing changed.it has to go 9 innings to be official. Pirates didnt bat in the 9th.
sucks twice.

It was a no hitter though. Only the 6th ever to end in a loss. Just because they werent the home team dont change that. Well technically its "didnt allow a hit".

On a side note. Albert Pujols got rocked tonight. 4 ER in 1IP. 36.00 ERA

There’s not really any suggestions anyone can offer you. You either have to keep waiting or close out the game like everyone else. It’s a shame everybody just overlooks this every year. It’s a joke at this point, year after year. I’m four hours into a freeze off myself right now and I won’t quit on principal.

You sound like me. And I have a PS5 and Series X. Thing is I havent started playing H2H yet really this year. So havent been able to take advantage of having 2 systems in case of a freeze. Of course I very rarely get into a freeze anyways.

I also have a PS5 and a Series X, but I haven’t picked up a copy on PS5 yet. I’ll probably wait for a sale personally. It would be great to have two copies of the game for situations like this, at least until the second freeze off starts

Yeah I bought the PS5 version cuz I didnt have a Series X at the time. So got lucky with gamepass. But if they take it off gamepass I am hoping they do it when the game is much cheaper lol.
