@Beaterrr_XBL So you have troubles striking people out because you don't have enough time to play the game because you have to work so many hours during the week which ultimately keeps you in a lower tier than you would like. All this stress leads you to resort to name-calling in a video game's internet forum. Awesome! Sounds like you got some real issues that you need to take care of! I hope you get the help you need for all your issues! Best of luck!

@Beaterrr_XBL Awww, yes, a sexually explicit slur. How appropriate and shows how immature you are.

If you are talking about the Scouting Report pack...Yeah, no way is that ever going to happen! The game will be available for PC, before SDS would give us 75K stubs in the Scouting Report pack.

I have most cards in the game and now I have a big stack of stubs thanks to pulling (and selling) a LS Ohtani out of a BIAH pack a couple days ago. So, I should get this card relatively quick like I got Ted. I will probably have to do that week's Spotlight program for the new cards and anything else new they throw at us on that day.

@GoozeFn_PSN I haven't paid attention to how it works (obviously). I believe you and I am all for SDS doing whatever they need to put an end to people manipulating the system. Thanks for clarifying the issue and helping me understand more of what is going on.

I would agree that there should be higher OOP penalties for JRam in LF, Elly in RF, Elly at 1B. However, I am not convinced about a bigger OOP penalty for JRam at first base since the majority of 3B could play 1B and that many 1Bs were 3B when they were younger and more agile.

@jaychvz_XBL That would have been good. There is a Mariner's commercial from their coach's (Dan Wilson's) playing days...

BTW, we could use a Jaime Moyer and Dan Wilson cards in the game!

@GoozeFn_PSN I thought they were tanking before Weekend Classic started.

Back when I was a kid watching baseball on a cathode ray tube television, starting pitchers always finished the game. There is no need to take your SP out. Ever!

Of course, that isn't wise. I guess you can use the green/yellow mark like a pitch count, but you shouldn't let that get in the way of what the game situation calls for. I would take them out as soon as I can after it goes to yellow for most instances.

For a good laugh, below is a link to a Mariner's commercial about their starters and bullpen arms...

@GoozeFn_PSN I understand why you think "Each weekend classic should be based off your highest rating for the entire year." But, how about highest for that season? Because those that can make WS or 1000 (and some who will come close and try to make those ranks) will still do that for the season rewards, but have the Weekend Classic be at their high mark for the season and not allow them to tank due to the Weekend Classic. That way it is still inline with that current season and not the who year. What do you think of that suggestion?

@Beaterrr_XBL I was just asking what your point was. If you had to work and couldn't play enough games to get to HOF before this weekend classic would be understandable. That would also be a good reason for not playing enough games. It is a whole lot better excuse than the "I keep losing to people who are lesser skilled than me" excuse that pops up in this forum a lot. You don't need to get offended by a simple question. that was asking you to expand on your post a bit for more clarity. A lot of people type too much, but I would say you did not type enough for clarity.

So...are you saying you screwed yourself over in this Weekend Classic because you didn't play RS earlier like you should have to move into a higher bracket? I guess I'm just not seeing the point of your post.

@LQR_NSW That is not true. I open my packs at least once per day, many times after a set amount of games or program progress. So, I pretty much never have 50 regular packs or 15 Ballin' is a Habit packs to open at once, yet I have hit a lot of diamonds.

Specifically, yesterday (7/18)...1x Ballin' is a Habit pack (1:15 odds of a diamond pull)...pulled LS Shohei Ohtani...

Then on 7/13...1x regular Show Pack (1:50 odds of a diamond)...I pulled a LS Steven Kwan...

So, no, one does not need to wait to have a certain number to find a diamond in a pack. One can open the packs as they get them because the rewards of that pack was determined when they were awarded the pack and not at the time of the opening. I don't think we need to go into how pack odds work, but the odds are the same no matter how many packs are ready to be opened.

If you are superstitious and that is your thing, you can most definitely keep doing that if you feel like that is your lucky way of pack opening! But to tell people that is the only way of pulling diamonds is absolute nonsense!

I've won it in RTTS.

@MRAD2010_XBL Those are nice, unless you are trying for triples!

@TheGoaler_PSN Thanks!

The price may be going as people are buying more cards in preparation for the next Legends and Flashback collection that is coming at the end of the month. This was announced recently, so many are buying right now.

@sbchamps17_NSW Thanks!

@BJDUBBYAH_PSN Thanks!

Some how I got a BIAH pack...opened it up going one by one to the end...Far right (so we know it is a LS card now) was a Diamond...Blue light...Starting Pitcher!!! Man, it feels nice to pull the LS Shohei Ohtani!
