Braves didnt need much, but i really wish they had gotten a SP, like Flaherty, Lorenen or Montgomery. But Fried is coming back, just have to hope elder is consistent and Soroka can come around to form

but this extreme program will be set 3 Id guess, when they should be core since it is considered a hard program.

i am well over .500, not sure what you're talking about
Again, looking at your game history, I definitely do not think you are "kicking the __ out of scrubs" when your game history shows your last ten games (as of 6/25/2023 3:16PM PDT):
- 6-11 L
- 10-9 W
- 3-2 W
- 9-8 L
- 3-1 W
- 6-2 L
- 3-2 L
- 2-0 W
- 5-3 W
- 9-8 W
You may have had a 6-4 record in your L10, but your biggest win was by two runs in three different games and the other three wins was by one run. Your losses was by five runs, four runs, and two games by one run. Your run differential is -2, as in NEGATIVE TWO. So how is that "kicking the __ out of scrubs"?
yes the whole point is that when i play on all star, as those games were played on, i don't play as well and thus have less fun
i'm looking to strike a good balance of competition, fun, and respect for my opponents
if you are looking for balance ,it looks like you found it at the All Star level if those games were on all star. Nothing about wanting to beat the tar out of your opponent every game screams balance and competition

The game died a long time ago. It’s like 30th on Xbox it was top 10 all of last year. This game will go down with 18 as the worst version ever.
the concept of sets isnt completely awful. I find the problem with SET 2 was more to do with the lack of cards i wanted to use in the TA and even bosses. Hardly any had appeal to use over set 1 cards. (yes some of the pack cards did, but not the program cards)

I would feel sorry for you until you started your little cultural rant. Just remember you are only from Texas and the rest of the country isn't really impressed. After you concede your game encourage your state to secede.
I would love it if my 'flyover' state joined Texas in that, so we could stop being controlled by the leftist fanatics on the east and Left coasts.
yeah I hope Florida goes with Texas in that scenario

is there a way to search that, i dont even look half the time lol. I am pretty sure i have hit some in the upper 400's not sure if i cracked 500 or not.

Id think Rosario has a shot too...he has hit 5 bombs in 4 games

you talking about the ones from conquest? some of those packs give you a random one and you have to open it after you open the initial pack

Seiya Suzuki is making things challenging
Holy [censored], that one took me a few hours. The only one i can remember that frustrated me that much. Power swing and the dude hits a weak fly ball over and over, then on PP i would just line a double or line out.

@TubaTim90_PSN said in I don’t want no stubs…:
Make cards too attainable - people complain
Make cards harder to attain - people complain
Moral - it doesn’t matter what anyone does, ever. People will always complain.That is why I said that it is a fine line that SDS has to walk. Attainable is a subjective measure when it comes to this game because it boils down to play time. Set that goal too high and you lose the more casual players. Set it too low and the hardcore players get bored.
Is there even a happy median to be found?
i thought last year was reasonable (outside of the lack of TA) This year it seems they slowed the economy down and also put most of the usable cards in expensive packs (that you lose on most of the time). THe TA cards mostly are average, you have to either pony up stubs or get lucky in the free packs to catch the cards you want. Last year i felt like i could earn enough stubs to buy cards, and the programs/rewards were fair enough that I could get most of the cards i wanted.

@PurpleTRD_PSN said in I need to vent:
its part of the game lol. It goes both ways though I notice the RNG is terrible if you have a lead and will ease up on those 70-80 mph up the middle smolpp hits for the losing player.
I felt like SDS held that player’s hand all the way to the 10th inning and even then my first two at bats of thst inning were perfect outs… the player only threw fastballs up in the zone with Nolan Ryan/Gagne and cutters low and away with Lee Smith. Still I was hitting rockets to the defense.
happens to me every few games. dude hits weak grounderes and texas leaguers for hits and i line out constantly

Buddy, it’s been this way since forever and they’ve heard the same sorry every year. Time to just recognize it and adjust like the rest of us because unfortunately, I don’t see it changing anytime soon
If enough people say it loud enough maybe they will change it
My other gripe is similar to you talking about a cutter. It looks like a breaking pitch out the hand. It either goes up or out. Im pretty sure it comes out like a fastball and drops. I am late often on them bc i think they are sliders or curves in the split second of release.

@onlySOLACE3_PSN said in Pitching changes:
The team at SDS need to lock pitching changes once an at bat starts because it's just a cheese thing they can eliminate. I also wouldn't be opposed to them including a random generator for picking amongst user pitchers in co op where they have the pitchers ranked from best to worst and that way the matchup is "fair" and we don't have to see teams bring Bob Gibson out of the bullpen in the second inning. Or heavily nerf the stamina of starters once the game starts
why is that a cheese thing? thats the rules of MLB. You can replace the pitcher if you want if they meet the stipulations of removal. (face three batters in an inning or finish an inning)

@Skarmaen_PSN said in Team Affinity:
Yes but they are worse than the Charisma bosses from TA1 w/ a few exceptions.
As mentioned, doing so goes a long way for set collections. However, grinding out programs like this only for collection fodder is not going to keep my interest very much longer. I suspect I am not alone thinking this way.
this is exactly what i have thought. They are worse than the Charisma bosses. Only a few worth a poot. The grind isnt awful compared to past games but it dang sure takes longer than I want to use Cleveland or Diamondback players lol

@Dolenz_PSN said in Ranked and BR Change Explanation:
I have used the phrase before and I am sure that I will use it again.
Aggressive Monetization.
Everything about this years game seems to be pushing people to buy stubs.
- 99's in very expensive packs that are sold for a very short time, ensuring their rarity and higher prices.
- Expiration dates on cards, which means you may have to pay a lot of stubs for a 99 of your favorite players multiple times.
- No Sell POTM cards
- No Sell BR program rewards
- Pitiful Stubs payouts in programs, moments, and now Showdowns. In showdown you used to be able to make your stubs back after three or four bosses. Not so in the Kaiju showdown.
So more expensive cards than ever before + less opportunities to earn stubs = Aggressive Monetization.
i noticed that too. The stub rewards are smaller than last year. If i buy a pack or a card off the market it seems to take me twice as long to recover it. My pack luck has sucked for the most part, so that doesnt help either lol. I did manage to pull trout, but none of the other gatekeepers so far. I am normally done with collections by now but the stubs just arent there this year.

wait til you start playing on PS5, its unbelievably better and more smooth.

Mookies high ratings are not all based on hitting...he is high in other areas and that elevates his card.

@Pergo_MLBTS said in Expiring Cards is absolutely ridiculous:
They don't really "expire" and you don't have to "burn" them like in the analogy you used. You just can't use them in modes where Set 1 cards are not eligible. You can still use them in other modes where Set 1 cards are eligible, or you can use one as your wild card in any mode.
Dude I don’t play anything but online modes lol
Which majority of people do in this game
I absolutely hate playing against the computer- I play one game of mini seasons on HOF to get warmed up and then it’s online play for me(mostly co-op ranked and regular ranked
i hope set 3 has some bangers because Set two has been overall very disappointing when it comes to batters.

They just updated his picture because the old one had the indians logo on the sleeve. Gotta make sure to erase all history.
Was it Chief Wahoo?
Because that was one hundred percent offensive to many people.If I am correct I read most native Americans don’t care about the names of sports teams
This native american could care less if a team is named Indian or Seminole or whatever. Im more offended that there is no team called the "Creeks"

ah i misunderstood...i get it now. maye thats why i only get 7 innings sometimes in ranked games
Are you happy with your team's trades?
