Is it just me or does the new layout of the menus seem clunky and confusing? Last year was so much easier to find stuff!

Do not touch hitting
Exactly. Hitting feels great! Don’t do us like last year when you patched hitting the first week when it seemed good and then became exponentially more difficult!
@king-cals_xbl said in Hitting patch?:
Hitting is way too easy online even on higher difficulty. Can’t wait for them to patch so the best of the best can make World Series and not everybody and their mothers
Yeah cause the best of the best paid more for their games than us average Joe’s right!!?? Elitist much!
@warpedzilla_psn said in Post-game rewards:
There must be an issue with all the new features added to post game. Otherwise why have the screen that the % of better rewards changes as you increase difficulty?
That is interesting. It could be an oversight. Either rewards are still intended or they just forgot to remove the odds cause, no more rewards!

@msacks11_psn said in Parallel System:
I am in love with this parallel system. It’s definitely my favorite addition to the game from recent memory. It prolongs the life of some cards deeper into the year and being a baseball card fan in real life it adds another level of accomplishment when you get a low number. But before I get toxic again about server issues or something stupid I just wanted to give SDS an atta boy this really is a great game so far.
What is the best way in your opinion to progress the Parallels? I have yet to play with my squad so just looking for a friendly tip
Just play em and do well! The better you do the more exp gained. Also get exp for plate appearances
@hoboadam_psn said in Here's what's happening with the servers.:
I've taken quite a few tries at explaining the issue in various threads, so I'm going to make one myself, and offer to SDS to help. They have my contact information.
Stress balancing is broken on the server node for the menu interfacing.
There's send and receive functions embedded everywhere in every menu that sends data after a function is performed, IE, conquest victory, moment completions etc. When you complete the task, data is sent from your console to a server and logged. For a user to see it at a splash screen post event, a call script reaches out to the data repository and shows your progress.
Whenever you are getting the unhandled server exception, it's like timing out on a ping. The game will then attempt a refresh, thus your little button icon in the bottom right of your screen.
Sometimes you get partial and get bounced back to the main screen of the menu you are in, and sometimes booted completely out to the main game menus.
Whenever you try to log back in to where you were, you are inadvertently creating additional traffic because the data from your console hasn't been reconciled with the data server. This reconciliation actually has happened, which is why you aren't losing progress 95% of the time.
Take these errors and multiply them by the number of users on at any given time, the people banging buttons trying to get back in, and data cached with nowhere to display it because you're already out of that menu. SDS dumps the returned data when you are logged back in and at another menu, but it has to record the failed attempts.
It's an exponential function problem that needs to be debugged because the call time of the functions can't possibly get returns why? Because Xbox game pass created too many users and user requests throughout the game.
Solutions?
1- Change some of the menus. Require us to only go to one spot to get anywhere. Right now for example, I can enter moments from inning programs and moment menus. How do I know this is an issue? When you access a moment from the Inning screen, you get taken all the way out afterwards. If you were in the moments menu, you get taken back out to the moment menu. It's all in the coding.
- Dedicate more nodes, bandwidth for menu navigation calls. The game plays awesome. Whenever you're actually doing anything, it's smooth as silk. All the troubles are menus. XP, parallels, etc. Data is routing, being stored and ultimately being credited properly.
3- Turn off the web site marketplace untill you eliminate the console errors. It will hurt and stink, but you need a cleaner production environment to test your fixes.
Ultimately, SDS is going to have to reboot servers everyday because these issues must be fixed in a production environment. They need to trim down the production environment in order to resolve though.
Gotta walk before you can run.
I'd bet a good bottle of 1986 Chateau Rothschild that I'm on point with my diagnosis and potential fixes. I've fixed this type of code before for Morgan Stanley and know what I'm talking about.
Thank you for your time.
Exactly what a self aware AI would want us to believe before it launches the nukes! Fear the singularity! :P. For real though you sound like a pretty knowledgeable programmer! Maybe they’ll listen but I’d imagine if they have good programmers there they know this but maybe not!?
@random_schmuck_psn said in Conquest on Steroids:
I really like that conquest is using pitcher roulette for the cpu this year. In years past you always faced the staff ace when taking a stronghold.
I don’t think it’s roulette?. I think it’s based on your pitchers skill. You pick your ace so do they. You pick your lowest they pick theirs. Lots of time it’s a common or bronze. I always pick my lowest for that reason.
Of course it is I just won an online game that won’t count!!
@abbyspapa_psn said in R2 when batting abusers:
I have a tendency to quick pitch, so I understand people using r2 to get me to slow down sometimes and it usually works.
It's the guys who hold it for ages trying to disrupt your windup that annoy me.
Yeah. It doesn’t typically throw me off. I understand though. I just wanna look at pitch speeds and repertoire often sometimes especially if someone has me guessing!

Did they ever get them working? I haven’t been able to view a stream yet this year. I need more commons and bronze!
@samguenther1987 said in The Cubs:
Yup todays game is not great, pitching really just kind of disappeared. You would think if you score 7 in the first you would be in for a good game guess not....
Yeah I watched yesterday it was devastating. Arrietas a [censored]!

javy is so overrated. he clearly didn't understand the rule himself. yet because of another's persons unbelievable stupidity people cant stop talking about Javys "instincts".
Just give me a call when the White Sox have a World Series ring like Javi does.
2005 you dope. and 2016, that was the luckiest world series win youll ever see. the indians missing starters 2-4. the "rainout" lol...
No such thing as luck bro. An interesting sequence of events for sure but not luck.
@oumarcus_psn said in Where will Castellanos end up?:
Sadly, the Reds will not be willing to put up the $25+M to keep him after his likely opt-out. If he were to stay a Red, he'd make $16M next year.
I'm wondering if the Jays or ChiSox will make a play for Castellanos soon. I would love the Redlegs to keep him, but better to get something in trade than to allow another zero-return departure.
Anyone else have any theories?
I wish the Cubs would have kept him!
@thewooderboy__psn said in Do Xbox Users Know They Can Hit X to Start Games?:
Honest question here…I play mostly Online Rated games with the Phillies and every time I get matched up with a Xbox user they seem to watch the entire “pre game” highlights before we start the game. Is it that they don’t know they can hit/hold X (or whatever it is for Xbox) to skip or is that the game “matching up” the two difference systems?
I let it go until I see your record than I hold x. I wanna know if I’m playing a scrub or a try hard.
@ladyswampfox_xbl said in PSA: Let's Get Those Prices Down!:
With the roster update last week, some players have been moved around, with some being added to teams. Since they're new on the market, they often have no active sell orders or are for sale at a high price (going to the thousands of Stubs). This impedes the progress of those of us working to complete the Live Series collection. Remember AJ Ramos? It's like that, but with more cards, currently.
I've compiled a list of players that have been added to live series rosters that have yet to see their prices decrease. This list may also include cards that have been there since day one but are expensive for their rating. If you have any duplicates of these cards, please put them for sale on the market! Let's get those prices down and get our collections done (aside from the roadblock that is Mike Trout, of course
)!
- Louis Head (Rays)
- Anthony Castro (Blue Jays)
- Mac Sceroler (Orioles)
- Zack Short (Tigers)
- J.T. Riddle (Twins)
- Tzu-Wei Lin (Twins)
- Jeison Guzman (Royals)
- Kent Emanuel (Astros)
- Scott Schebler (Angels)
- Reymin Guduan (Athletics)
- Elvis Andrus (Athletics)
- Brett De Geus (Rangers)
- Anderson Tejeda (Rangers)
- Kohei Arihara (Rangers)
- Sandy Leon (Marlins)
- Sean Kazmar Jr. (Braves)
- Nate Jones (Braves)
- Odubel Herrera (Phillies)
- Trevor Megill (Cubs)
- Rex Brothers (Cubs)
- Zach Davies (Cubs)
- Jonathan Holder (Cubs)
- Pablo Reyes (Brewers)
- Heath Hembree (Reds)
- Scott Hurst (Cardinals)
- Alex Reyes (Cardinals)
- Ben Heller (Diamondbacks)
- Alan Trejo (Rockies)
- Sheldon Neuse (Dodgers)
- Nick Ramirez (Padres)
- Ha-Seong Kim
Note: A lot of Cubs players and Athletics players are expensive for some reason.
If you get dupes of these cards, or if you got them after you've completed their team's collection, make a sell order for them on the market! DO NOT quick sell them or "sell now" when you get them from packs. There is a bug that makes anything you sell now from a pack quick sold, so be careful!
Thank you!
Yeah! And while we’re at it let’s get those gas prices down again! Looking at you Big Oil!!
@chuckclc_psn said in Has your ticket(s) been resolved?:
Only thing I lost that I never got back was 30K stubs, first few hours after game was pre released. All I got back was a messaging saying all stubs have been returned to people after I sent in another question about why I havent gotten mine back. So I guess they are just keeping those.
Oh for sure they’re keeping them, they like to swim through them like Scrouge McDuck!!
I just read the patch notes. It made me almost literally think I may be insane after reading the final statement. “Double experience is still turned on”. Wow I have yet to have double experience applied to my program correctly. So in actuality it should say regular experience is still turned on. I put in a ticket about the experience and never got a response so...
