@Timinator4655 translation: you think you lost to someone using directional when in reality you just aren't as skilled as you think you are.

This community has gotten so annoying with the constant " i deserve this or i deserve that" MLB 21 did a number on this community, we got almost everything in 21 for doing little amounts of work. I'm not saying all good cards should be in packs but honestly all good cards shouldn't be free either. IN 21 Verlander, Degrom, Ryan etc, were all free and that game became unbearble to play seeing the same pitcher over and over again. As for the pay to win part, Any casual player can spend loads of money on this game and still be a barely above 500 player. Stop with the madden and 2k comparisons becuase as someone who plays both of those games, this game is nothing like those at all, were getting 30 free diamonds in TA Chapter 2 next week, patience people, you cant say you want a power creep and then complain you can't get instant good cards thats not how it works. As for the C0-Op glitch, keep it in the game, might encourage more people to try it out, I for one have never played co-op but it sounds interesting using actual 99's. I'm not trying to tell anyone how to feel but this cycle of constant whining a month into every year of MLB the Show has got to stop, this forum has turned into a complete crying line, or calling for devs to be fired over mistakes. My goodness people relax.

Wild cards are cool, but since the grind is much, wild cards should be for the TA cards you earn, make bosses/collection cards core. If people save up all those cards, the bosses and collection cards should just be core, It'd turn sets and seasons around for a lot of people. I have all 3 bosses and 2 of the collection cards. Help those who only collect or reach 1 boss pack, or do something with Xp, because progress feels so slow without double XP, new TA is good IMO, I like the switch up each chapter, but make those collection cards (brett, paige, mays) and Boss pack ( Andy, jimmy and Larry) core cards. It's 6 99's, Collecting that many cards for 280, is eqivlent to doing the live series collection IMO and should be rewarded as core (like ruth)

@Puthi4133 We dont need CAPS in DD. RTTS is meant for offline play, let it be offline, no more playing on beginner exploiting xp.

@Thelibero Pitching virtually does not matter in BR, when drafting dont worry about overalls, look for power, clutch, etc. Power is king on All star, you want more fly balls then ground balls. When drafting pitchers, look for guys exclusively with a sinker cutter mix or even if they just have one of the two. Tunnel your cutters away to get more roll overs, and sinker middle in to jam, its the easiest way to get out the ones that swing at first pitches. So three things

Power

SInker Cutter

Be very patient, its all star force your opponent to throw strikes.

@xxfrystealerxx said in Suprise NL West TA3 new legend?:

I'm curious why they haven't announced the NL West TA3 cards yet, so I'm hoping maybe they surprise us with a new legend for one of them. Maybe Barry Bonds finally gave them his rights?

if Barry Bonds is a free card i will personally throw my ps5 into the Mississippi

@SuntLacrimae50 Will you get off your high horse and go teach? Stop acting like your some higher power because you have opinions on a video game. What I stated is 100 percent true, friday is going to be a mass load of content, people are gonna fly through it, fly through ranked/br way faster then intended. I also work with High school students, you sound like one of them. Enough with the All caps.

Remember when cards like lighting Buxton from 21 and lightning Cody Bellinger from 20 were dropped? Everyone thought those cards were insane! The reality is, If those cards were dropped this year, same attributes, same everything, people would hate the cards, people would complain Buxton had only 84 contact vs right or bellinger and his 83 vs right. Or even cards like Lightning Didi from 20. Seeing how people hate the New Bobby Witt card as it's apparently "nerfed" I just don't get it or understand it anymore. People wanted a power creep, they gave us a power creep, I understand packs are a problem right now, well not the problem but the ability to earn them is i fully get that, But comparing every single card to the best card is just unreasonable. I'm going to get called a fanboy for this but I just want to understand what happened to this community, not every card has to be built perfect.

I'll keep it a buck, this 10-0 problem is a problem for like 1 percent of the community.

@AdeptOfMemory said in 99’s incoming:

@chucky97___ cry, loser. You're a victim when you buy a product that you were told was one think but when you get it it's absolutely NOT what you paid for. You were scammed. Just cause you suck em off while ignoring it and they give you a little treat for you enjoy from time to time doesn't mean they are doing a good job as developers. Stop the simping or at least [censored] off to enjoy your SDS gurgling elsewhere. It is all proving my point as you keyboard warrior for these pigs running the Show.

So no one is allowed to enjoy the game? I like baseball, I enjoy playing, is it it perfect? No. The only keyboard warrior here is you, I have said nothing in disrespect towards you.

@BJDUBBYAH We'll get called Simps, because while others can voice their negative feedback, if we offer rationale feedback were simps, and we shoulf hate the game even tho we enjoy baseball.

I use this, a lot use this, its the meta, I understand that, I also know this is a huge problem, With the foul ball frequency in this game, switch hitting theme teams are way to powerful, I'm getting to a point where I'm starting to hate captains in this game. The player base is becoming boost dependent, I think theme teams can work, if done the right way. Making one captain boost far and away better than any other boost in the game is so bad for game play. Again, I use this boost because I will not be at a disadvantage in ranked, but my goodness this boost doesn't need to be a thing I cant stress it enough. This is bad for the game.

@arvcpa_MLBTS said in Another non-boosted player:

Trying to knock out some pxp for the August MA program. I have 9 position players, but it only shows 8 are getting the boost. Jeff McNeil is not...

Anyone else see this?

jeff mcneil is not a monthly award player from the program, hes a TA henchmen.

I've never see a community like mlb constantly complain as much as this one does every single year. On top of that the feel sorry for myself type people in this game is so bad. I get you work, I work, but constantly saying "Does sds not know people have familys and jobs, I cant grind for this card" then dont? Spend time for your family and enjoy the game when you are able.

Also, ranked rewards, ranked rewards use to be sick, why aren't, they stacked now? Because they use to be hard to obtain, making WS meant something, now you just play through program because people complained it was to hard and not fair. This years game gets far to much hate, sets werent that bad, we act like it was a cruel punishment to grind a video game, want punishment go roll sod for 8 hours and tell me what you'd rather do on a hot summer day. Point is, the complaining is unreal at this point.

Play BR, you can get the boss card missions done if fortunate, just playing the BR program helps you progress faster, You also earn BR points, playing online is really awesome this year for grinding, nit having to sit and play the cpu is refreshing

@AdeptOfMemory you are the epitome of a keyboard warrior

@bjd10048 said in Which SDS decision was dumber?:

A) Sets and Seasons with a long TA3 Grind

B) The option to quit and accept a loss when your opponent's controller runs out of battery

I think B is still the dumbest thing I've ever encountered, but A is close.

D) You buying the game, knowing Sets and Seasons were a thing and getting upset at it now, because you didn't pay attention.

POTM W, lightning flash back Tatis for the 20 win in the new event is even better. Massive props to SDS, content is starting to trend upward again.

@arvcpa we want Kirby Puckett.

For nostalgic purposes to the greatest game ever, Mlb The Show 20 ( no show game compares ) P5 1 of 1's should be red diamonds. Everyone won't be able to obtain that i get, but if you're the first player to 1/1 a card, the card should turn into its complete own card to where only 1 person has that style would be pretty sweet. Would also be a great way to get social media attraction, more p5 races like in 21. Idk just random food for thought, I think it'd be cool!
