A few years ago they would post the shadows of hitters in the batters box so we could guess who they were.

I don't think you're missing anything. No-sell seems like a massive L for everyone in almost all cases.

The fact they waited until induction day to do the collection points to them waiting to reveal the Beltran hof card with the plaque.

Exactly. Anyone else and the collection probably dropped Friday.

@Dolenz_PSN we are just gonna have to agree to disagree at this point. 99 percent of online cards can be purchased. Cant say the same for offline cards.

Maybe its not offline players faults that sds made a bone head dumb a.. decision to take away all the online programs away from us? So maybe I am blaming you guys for that. It could be i dont know.

I just want to have fun and enjoy the game. Im playing way too much offline this year. Way way way too much and its not fun. I have no choice if I want to keep up. I will not be purchasing the game next year if I have devote 70 percent of my time playing offline again. Ill be done.

You are absolutely blaming the wrong group. When did any offline player ask to remove a program we don't care about or ask for more no-sell cards? Put in a little thought before making ignorant accusations. I get your frustration about offline content. Even as an offline player, I called out in the survey that there is too much offline content that's meant to just support each new card series to push out more packs. I just want to relax and play the game with the players I enjoy. I can't do that when a new card series comes out every 2-3 weeks with a supporting mini-season.

The problem isn't the fanbase. The problem is SDS asks for feedback but doesn't listen to it. 3-4 years ago there were a couple fun themed mini-seasons (gold series and lefty-vs-lefty). People asked for more of those so we got more mini-seasons that are now used to drive new card series. Also, the last 2-3 years, players said that Team Affinity discouraged the use of Negro League players and asked for a Negro League path in TA. SDS's solution was to gut TA almost entirely.

@go4stros25_PSN there is no point in having a further discussion with them. They hate online. Is what it is. But they are definitely effecting us online players with all their complaining. Trying to keep them happy which they never will is taking away from us. Its already happened. With all the online programs they have removed. Now im getting bad at the game again cause I have to play countless hours offline.

You do realize this post reinforces the same point several offline players have been making for months, right? Why do you think you have to "play countless hours offline"? Non-sellable offline rewards are a mechanism SDS uses to encourage online play. How are offline players supposed to "just use stubs to buy the cards you want" (online player logic) when there is no access to stubs?

It's been an issue for at least a couple weeks. I got the same thing when I pulled Griffin from a Spotlight pack

XP is weird. I think the strikeouts are are closer to 7-8 each because I think you get 75 in an inning with no strikeouts. What confuses me the most is how I get more XP when I allow a batter to reach than during a clean inning.

That's all I'm saying. 400K was reasonable and doable last year. There's just less XP for offline game play this year. Offline repeatable XP is the dream. Even a slight bump to game play XP would be good with me.

@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS Have at it boss. If you want to waste your time just to prove me wrong, that's on you. I'll just ride with fatalist view of the current state of the game as long as I can.

@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS I appreciate your self-congratulatory stance, but you are advocating for fewer people to earn the reward by saying people aren't playing what you feel is adequate time. Some people don't have the time to play and some don't enjoy playing online, which is a driver of much more XP. Who cares how someone chooses to play? I only play this game as a way of revisiting collecting cards that I enjoyed I was growing up without the storage needs in my house, and don't think the ROI is worth the subscription cost to play online. This year is far less rewarding for offline players, and that's the point. I have no problem buying cards I don't earn, but the expectation from SDS seems to be that we'll buy all the cards we need/want unless we play online or live on the game offline.

I've never had a problem finishing innings/seasons/whatever they're called that year since 16. In 3 innings this year with no significant drop in time spent playing, I've failed to complete 2 of the 3 innings. The 2nd week i had a vacation so I can live with that. But this inning, I've played each week and will fall about 19k short. I've already resigned to the fact I won't finish this one with another vacation next week.

Surprisingly lucky. I've pulled 14 LS diamonds so far, with almost as many 90s (2 - Skenes & Soto) as 85s (3).

I think I remember it started as the weekend but they extended it for the final week of each inning on Monday at the start last year.

Last year, double XP was the last week of each inning. I don't remember double PXP being as common though.

When my game crashes on the line-up screen, it always shows the Orioles logo in the bottom corner. It must default to the O's after each crash.

I got Beltran and 16 of my 26 Now & Later packs on Saturday. I submitted a ticket asking about the remaining packs. They said both are rolling out between then and full release, and submit a ticket if you don't have both by the 18th.

I've pulled Bellinger, Snell, deGrom and PCA so far.

I've seen a lot of players who look like they're wearing shoulder pads.

I only received 16 of my 26 Now and Later Packs too.

I pulled daGrom and Snell from the presale packs.
