@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL Thanks. I got one of the Sig Series Choice packs and got a choice between the top two. I picked Bernie Williams over Jake Arrieta. That was like another 140K card! Packs from that Inked MS Program was very kind to me tonight!

Kind of, if there is such a thing with pack openings...

I hit to big LS cards today...J-Ram in a standard pack and then Witt Jr in the 85+ pack from the Inked MS program.

Not too shabby, that was over 200K in stubs in just the two cards alone!

@TheGoaler_PSN 55 runs on Veteran is impressive!

@MarioMendoza935_XBL And the E4 as well! Chase Utley is horrible! Ha! I can't believe I gave up 3 baserunners in a game and only 25 Ks. One of those perfect-perfects was the compuet, so I must be a bad pitcher as well to allow a Rockies CPU to get a P/P! I was definitely not locked in. I need to "git good"!

@samguenther1987_PSN Maybe next game! I thought SDS messed with stuff again since I struggled (kind of) the game before.

https://mlb25.theshow.com/games/1686300304?platform=psn&username=dap1234567890

72 runs on 79 hits in 106 ABs (107 PAs) with 2 players hitting for the cycle

22 2Bs, 2 3Bs, 36 HRs (total of 16,114 feet or 3.052 miles in HR length) = 60 XBHs

19 of 20 in Perfect/Perfect contact (for my team only) with 10 HRs and 4 2Bs

Made the CPU pitch 391 pitches of which over 60 was with their CP

I received 31,205 XP for the 7th Inning XP Path and 444 stubs.

All this while not paying full attention because I was also watching the Mariners' game and not a "God Squad" either. Used the 87 Stargell and 87 Boggs (with 40 PWR)! Finished off 4 programs and every hitter stat mission for those programs all in one game!

@eBar360_XBL It does not allow you to scan photos. It can detect whether it is a photo or a natural face shot.

@m_caraballo24_PSN said in I’ll bear the bad luck for everyone else:

You grinded out the spotlights then you should get at least 1 good card out of it

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when someone grinds out the Spotlight Program, that person does get at least one good card. For July Spotlight Drop 4 you get 99 Jarren Duran 125/103 against RHP and 107/80 vs LHP, 125 CLT, 85 FLD, 89 REAC, 95 SPD, 90 STEAL. I think that would qualify as a "good" card that one gets for grinding the Spotlight Program. You get other cards and free packs. I don't understand why anyone gets their hopes up on packs. Pack odds suck, but we know that. Be happy when you get lucky, but if one feels like they "deserve" to get the best card out of the packs, they only set themselves up to be disappointed. We all can wish SDS would give better pack odds, or if the best cards cost less stubs, or SDS provides more stubs for gameplay, or all the other things that we all want. However, we all know what we have in this game as it has been out for almost five months. People can dislike the odds, dislike the gameplay, dislike SDS, and people can voice their displeasure here, but I don't get how one feels it's "news" that pack odds suck and the disappointment that follows when they set their hopes up when opening these packs. I also believe people get too wrapped up in "Keeping up with the Joneses" and base their happiness around whether or not they are where everyone else is or what they have.

Also, why do you call everyone who has a different opinion than yours weird? You like to start off your replies to others saying they are weird or calling them a weirdo. I noticed you like to call people names a lot in your posts. Then you say you "hate" people because they are "weird" for having a differing opinion. Also, why do pretty all your posts have censored words? Can you not have an intelligent conversation with other words, or is your vocabulary limited to such words? Are you not mature or intelligent enough to have a conversation without name calling, calling people wierd, or foul language?

If you bought the packs, then that is more on you. If you are talking about the packs within the program, well that should have been the expectation. So, I don't know why you are upset.

@kadylac1_PSN There is definitely one person who would... @SaveFarris

He did have a great July, but not a 0.067 ERA! That is giving him a little too much credit. Try a 0.67 ERA which of course is still a great ERA.

I didn't realize "La Piedra" hit homeruns! I know the Mariners lineup has gained some power with addition of Geno and Josh, but I wasn't expecting it from a SP!

@Squid_Adams_MLBTS said in The Silencing Continues / People Blindly Defending A Heavily Flawed Game:

I have changed the way I word my posts and replies.

You can change the wording of your posts, but that doesn't mean you are not "personally attacking" people in your posts. Pretty much everyone here is an adult and knows when people are being passive aggressive and "personally attacking" others in a more veiled manner. You don't fool anyone with that nonsense.

@Squid_Adams_MLBTS said in The Silencing Continues / People Blindly Defending A Heavily Flawed Game:

Wouldn't I have gotten suspended again if I were attacking people?

SDS is random in the ban selections. I don't know exactly why some get banned for their posts and others not. I don't really care what SDS's thoughts are on that as that doesn't really affect me. A few years ago, SDS banned darn near everyone in the forum for a week or a month or so to include someone that had only posted "lol". I forgot who that was, but they are still on this forum.

I can tell you one thing that is not random though. That is your posts getting locked. On this newly used MLBTS account, you have 2 of 3 topics locked (obviously this is the one that is not locked [yet]) and your other account (the PSN account) has 12 of 14 locked. I cannot tell you the last time anyone other than you had their topics locked, let alone more than 82% of their topics being locked. I can say with great certainty that SDS is not being random in just always locking your topics. You are the only one that doesn't get why you are the only one who gets their topics locked (if you truly don't understand). There are plenty of other "controversial" posts on here with some wild conspiracy theories, but they don't get locked up. There are other topics that include name-calling and other attacks on people that also don't get locked up. But, you are truly skilled at getting yours locked up. Congrats on that!

Back to your quote of "I have changed the way I word my posts and replies.", that reminds me of...

@GrandBigB_XBL @grandbigb_MLBTS There are a lot of tickets they won't respond directly back with. Some examples would be if you had reported someone's gameplay, logo, or team name. There reason is that they cite the privacy of the other user and won't disclose any actions taken against that person or if there was or was not any actions taken. There are some other items they don't respond back to but will still address would be things like inventory or small account issues, but you would see the issue resolved when they get around to it. However, I would say it is a bigger issue if it is some kind of account issue that still hasn't been resolved and no communication. Since we don't know what the issue is and we don't work for SDS, we can't help you here unfortunately.

@allday9128_PSN Good to know, thanks!

I have a bad feeling Jr is going to be on the Reds. His best card shouldn't be a Reds card. He should have a good Reds card, just not his best card when his best years were in Seattle.

@Dolenz_PSN My bad! I know I have been a part of some of the back and forth in the past, but I have been taking a break from that lately.

@Dolenz_PSN I haven't been engaged in the last two or three or more topics of his. If you look at them, you won't see me in there. So, I'm not part of the pattern.

OP creates a topic...he goes off the rails with attacks on people...topic gets locked...

OP creates another topic...complains about being silenced, continues to go off the rails with attacks on people...topic gets locked...

OP creates another topic...complains about being silenced, continues to go off the rails with attacks on people...topic gets locked...

OP creates another topic...complains about being silenced, continues to go off the rails with attacks on people...topic gets locked...

Gee, I wonder if there is a pattern here!

@Teak2112_MLBTS I don't remember what the last DQ map I did! I'd rather just wait a week or so and grab the cards off the market when a lot of people run through it a bunch of times and the cards come down.
