pretty sure I made my complaint clear, I don't understand the pricing on the gamepass early access, not sure what PS5 or Switch have to do with that

You did. It’s just a stupid thing to complain about when you have more options than everyone else. If you’re cheap, wait a few more days and play for free.

No...the pricing is off and with no explanation. If you're not digging the conversation, leave/don't participate....there are other posts to troll from your bridge.

No… If you have Game Pass, you are getting the game for free with an option of getting an $85 value for $50. These are the best 2 options available on any console and you are whining about it.

Where’s the option to get an $85 value for $50? Assuming that you’re talking about the MVP edition being the $85, compare what that has and what this early access bundle is. The bundle is worse than even the MVP edition, which is the whole point of the discussion here that it’s overpriced. Instead of buying this bundle, you’d be better off buying the physical MVP edition, playing with that until Tuesday, then selling or trading the physical disc once the standard is on GP.

Lol why would $50 equal $100 you’re not very good at math

It’s the add on for game pass that’s $50. Even if they don’t want to go the Forza route of just paying the price difference of the standard and deluxe editions, they could at least make the pricing make sense. The difference of standard and MVP is $15 and the difference for Digital Deluxe is $30, but what you get from this $50 bundle isn’t even as good as the MVP edition.

Even if they made the DD upgrade $50 ($20 more than the difference), I’d buy that in a heartbeat and I’m sure many people would as well. The way it’s priced now, people are better off buying the full MVP version for a bit more and actually owning the game.

@goozefn_psn said in If I preorder on Switch and PS5?:

It’s not looking like we’re going to get an answer, so I’m just going with the standard.

I’ll let you know on Friday. I’m getting the DD for Xbox and MVP for PS5.

@schnauzerface said in Ericulous1:

I really want to see Molina play before he retires, so I have recently been thinking about taking a quick trip to either Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, or Milwaukee to see the Cards play this year. Adding Pujols makes it an unmissable 2-for-1 and that pretty much confirms that I will indeed be taking that trip. Let’s go, Pujols!!

Milwaukee isn’t a bad place to see a game, it’s easy to get to and park and you know there won’t be rain delays or postponements. I got tickets to see the Cards there in June. Got 2 tickets first row behind the Cards bullpen and parking for under $68.

That early access pack is definitely not worth $50. It should have been an upgrade to the digital deluxe for that price.

Its an upgrade to MVP version for digital deluxe price. Seems strange to me

The MVP version comes with a diamond choice pack and bat skin that this doesn’t have, so it’s even less than the MVP version.

It is obvious

You didn’t answer my question. You have zero proof. You are just assuming that they are using timing hitting.

I’ve been using it…you cheese your opponents to death with it….with bare minimum effort.

Interesting that they added Timing and removed opponents feedback at the same time.

Last year it was called "pure analog". The only difference was you couldn't use buttons, your only input option was the right stick. Did you complain about it last year, or is it just the name change that's got you all worked up?

You could use it with buttons as well. Using directional without moving the stick is the same as timing. It’s been that way since they originally changed timing to directional and added the ability to aim where you wanted to ball to be hit.

That early access pack is definitely not worth $50. It should have been an upgrade to the digital deluxe for that price.

@sbevans142_psn said in Sizzling Summer predictions:

I want something big like ta3 last year.

I think we’ll get that in the next program. My guess is that this program only lasts 3 weeks, then we’ll get the All-Star program when each team will get a current All-Star card.

If there is an All-Star program then Sizzling Summer can only last 2 weeks.

3 weeks would put it after the AS game.

You’re right, I must have looked at the calendar wrong. I still think this next one will be a short program before the All-Star one.

Sweet Jesus, this thread went off the rails...

Can we all at least agree that $50 without a SINGLE diamond pack is a little sad? You get two golds that probably won't even be on your bench within a week, and a bunch of common and bronze garbage from the 10 Show packs. You can all spend your money however you want, but I still think there is a football field sized middle ground here they could have ventured into...

I agree here. If SDS is intent on screwing over xbox users for early access, at least give them the same package as the deluxe edition people are getting.

I don’t think the intent is to screw over people, just to drive them to buy the $85 or $100 versions of the game. Which at least worked on me, as I’m getting the DD on Xbox, just like I did last year. In my opinion, it’s just a bad look charging $50 for so little, when other games in similar situations allow upgrades to their deluxe versions for just the price difference between standard and deluxe.

If this exact package was $25-30, I doubt anyone would complain and a bunch of people who don’t care about Diamond Dynasty would pay it just to play early. Then it gives people like myself who enjoys Diamond Dynasty a compelling decision between getting the DD or MVP versions or getting this package and buying some stubs to offset not getting any bonus cards.

@doihearbossmusic_mlbts said in Arenado cycle:

Time to throw my supercharged boy into the lineup

The boost they gave him is a joke. Morel LS boosted card got better treatment for 5 hits lmao

They stick to thee overall for supercharge and unfortunately his defense is too [censored] good so they didn't upcharge his hitting enough.

But cover boy was a 99 when he got boosted.

Goldy was 99 every time he has gotten supercharged also, no reason they couldn’t do it for Arenado.

@hoboadam_psn said in Heads up for Cover Athlete Program (and probably others):

Thanks for the heads up.

Both Ohtani at P5 already though? That's some commitment. I like eating other things than steak every night.

Power to you though for the grind.

It’s not too much of a grind, pitchers are easy to level up, especially when they hit well enough to get points for that also. I took the cover version in the pack with the deluxe edition, liked using it so much I saved up to buy the LS.

@genopolanco_psn said in Arenado cycle:

SDS hates Arenado. It’s been obvious for years.

I usually hate the SDS hates X team or player, but it really seems like it doesn’t it? In one of the roster updates they completely nuked his contact vs L. He’s a career .316 hitter vs L and has a couple down weeks with not a huge sample size and they make him borderline unusable.
