Why is the new Topps bat skin choice pack for just one? It's no sell, so what's the problem with not letting everyone have all three?

Why are we gate keeping bat skins in late October?

Stop acting like they want the inning path to be difficult. This is literally the first time there's been this kind of talk of people not finishing. I'm sure they know and will adjust accordingly. They've always wanted people to get to the boss with normal play. I dislike most of what SDS tries to do, but they've been pretty aware of people not meeting markers they think they should.

If their intent is for less people to finish the reward path this year, it's a huge f-you to the player base.

as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run, and so that'll make it a 4-0 ball game.

@Stinkysman77_MLBTS I mean if he did the program and earned the packs, they do.

There are still people who haven't gotten that email. Not sure why this is hard. You're really good at sending emails when it involves something I have to buy, but not when it's a free thing

@SaveFarris_PSN Amen to this one. I know I talked [censored] about this, but compared to to the glaze fest we get now it looks incredibly professional. I am incredibly annoyed by the particular person who talks the most during the live streams.

Maybe we can get an out of position live content stream where we get new people talking and the normal talking people are quiet.

Oh wow....Easter Egg Ottavino......gee thanks SDS

lol How've you been Ramone?

Just wait until you'll need a few of them to get the TA 99 "Bosses" in that collection

@TubaTim90 you're right, but do you not understand this is a change from their business model from years past? They make things less consumer friendly and you're mad that people are upset about it? Cmon dude

Why does it feel like SDS isn't even excited about this.

Oh just you wait until the live stream!

I really wonder what demographic section of people they are trying to allure with all these new series of cards?

Tween girls who want pictures of "hunky guys".

So ... Ashley?!?

Yeah! Let's gooooooooooooo

"Who you guys rolling with?"

Then one of the guys explains why he ALWAYS uses Pee Wee Reese cards in his 80s saturday morning TV show theme team.

There's no reason not to flood the packs with a 52 overall RP on the part of SDS

Did they feel bad with how lame that pack is?

Jokes on all of you. It's Future Stars. yawn

This has been discussed on r/mlbtheshow and I think I'd like to bring that discussion here to hopefully catch a devs eyes.

Obviously we all make our wish lists for 2022, and I think giving us the ability to restart a moment at any time is one that is on many players lists. To explain- if my moment is to hit one HR with Joe Carter and I pop up the first pitch so I know I'm gonna restart. Instead of waiting until I either get a "try again" screen or the fielders throw it in and double pump the ball 5 times, why can't I just pause and restart immediately?

So my questions: Is this because of how moments is embedded with player locked RTTS model game play? Similar to why during AL pitcher moments do I have to bat with them? Doesn't that bother any of the devs in a "this isn't reality" sort of way? Allowing moments to be a stand alone mode with DH enabled seems like a solution. Or is this a limitation of the programming?

OR is this an XP issue? I know you get a small amount of XP for even grounding out or striking out in moments. So can we not restart whenever because it has to register the XP earned?

Finally- yes I know we're talking about a very minor amount of time spent waiting for the fielders to gently toss the ball back to the pitcher before we can restart. So if your first reaction was to comment about that, this post isn't for you and I don't need to hear that here. I get it. But it's something that is a QoL thing that I think would be nice if it was looked at for 22.

oh that seems like a bad idea. Probably need to disable the chat
