I am a person that calls out stuff good or bad. Calling out some good this time. Huge props to SDS for releasing a legend pack. This is a great move.

Nice to see their connections with people is as solid as the online gameplay. See what I did there?

Just sucks the energy right out of you. No, I didn't lose a game. Instead I played the prime DQ for nearly 2 hours. I guess luckily got 2 prime packs if you want to call it that and you guessed it. 2 5k cards. Every time I open a pack and I get a diamond it is either 3k live series or garbage base round.

Let's see, 10k pull so if I get both prime cards every run (no chance), I would only need to run it 60 times to get Shohei. Like I said, easily the most unrewarding game I've ever played and it isn't close.

A guy who had Jackie and Adley 99s from set 3. My god the spending of $$ on stubs // devoting every minute of your life to this game is sad. Take the L weirdo.

I have Jackie and Adley. I am old, have an older daughter and a wife that likes to watch [censored] like Married at 1st Sight. Yea, I grind quite a bit and spend no money.

Had to upvote since 199 hours in and still about 800k from LS collections and I think 13 vouchers from Miggy.

My favorite part might be Chipper collection. I have done almost everything you can do in the game and have 2 of the cards needed to get him out of the 12. Yea 2. Absolutely comical at this point.

I like the change. The way it was before, there was no value in the reward cards. I think the ws rewards last season were going for about 40k. There should be some incentive and reward for doing something good in the game. Not everyone should get a trophy.

So in other words, this game should be for the "get gud" bullies and everyone else can just shut up and take it.

No that’s kind of a dumb take on what I wrote. What they have done is a good compromise. In the past you could only get the reward by going 12-0 or making ws or buying off the market. A few years back almost no one could get chipper because there were thousands of million stub orders. They created the reward path so everyone could get the reward. That hurt good players by devaluing the rewards. This new system is better because good players still get rewarded but everyone can get a free card.

12-0 players in BR were not hurt. Most 90+ players were still over 100k and the Flawless cards were still 130+k. That is plenty reward for going flawless. This pack SHOULD have remained sellable. Bad move by SDS.

For WS, those rewards were down to 30k which is absolutely pathetic and something needed to be done. I think they did the wrong thing. The card should have remained sellable but the program should have been adjusted so it wasn't so easy to get. BR program takes 10+ hours for most casual players to finish which is a good amount of time.

Best card in the game is behind a 75k pack with probably less than a 1% chance of getting him. This trend of best cards being behind this [censored] will continue and I think it will hurt SDS in the long run. Really not liking where this game is trending.

Streamers and cheat devices have ruined online gaming especially shooters. EVERY game caters to their streamers. Really don't think you can argue this point. Just watch Call of Shame and you will see just how corrupt streamers and gaming companies are. COD whitelists its streamers even though Call of Shame has mounds of evidence to show they are not legit. If you don't think The Show juices its packs for streamers or turns a blind eye to things I don't know what to tell you. And no I'm not talking about streamer Timmy with 10 viewers.

Flat out needs to be delayed until the cheating is addressed.

@Player99_MLBTS lol I do like me some Arby's!

New motto for the show. We have the cheats! Got a ring to it doesn't it?

@ryguy034753_XBL said:

@macdaddy-o_PSN is this your first time playing mlb? Not much has changed, it's not that hard to complete any of the collections.

Ridiculous post

These are the worst RS rewards maybe ever. Are you trying to get people to not play RS? I love RS and it is making me debate whether to play it. If they are still non-sellable there isn't a card here worth that ridiculous grind.

And thanks for continuing the trend of locking the best players behind a 75k less than 1% chance to get wall. Tatis was the best infielder at the time, Mantle is still the best outfielder (and probably best card in game) and now Mauer is the best C.

I would be shocked if the online numbers are not drastically down this year.

They need energy. Game is playing awful.

Before any of you geniuses comment about loss, I won my last 4 event games in a row. Doesn't take away from the fact the game is playing absolutely terrible. Was going to play some ranked but no thanks.

@SaveFarris_PSN Haven't you ever heard time is money?

Everything is a collection this year with the same MO. Give us access to an extremely small portion of the cards through programs, mini seasons, etc. Rest are buried behind stubs or .000001% (my odds anyway) chance to pull. Not a real good model imo.

Because for Ohtani you have to sell a kidney and Judge you have to give up your first born child.

@Belli_bomb_PSN some people have never had any actual wins in life. Normal people dont understand the level of true degeneracy that exist in life.

or the amount of money these people can make streaming while the sheep think they are "elite" at the game. Streamers and cheating have really taken online gaming to a bad place.

@Player99_MLBTS said:

I've gone back to playing MLB 25, purely because I can play with 99 overalls.

Disagree. The power creep is about the only thing good with this game. Game gets very stale when it is all 99's.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN said:

as a die hard baseball fan I will always play the game even if not as much as I do now but I even find myself not wanting to play this game anymore. I’m playing much less then beginning of year and don’t miss it at all. This game is becoming much more stale much earlier in the year then normal usually for me I play till atleast end of baseball season so World Series but man this year lucky if I make it to allstar break without needed a lengthy break to freshen up this game again the avarage players are being pushed away wether ur a market junkie who’s being pushed away by bots wether u are a ranked pvp die hard like myself who is being pushed out by losers who cheat and use scripts. Whether it’s the rng. Whether it’s the shotty servers being down. The back breaker for people is that it’s being made very obvious we aren’t priority this new mobile game is where all there energy is going not fixing ur actually yearly product. Like last year was far from a great game but it was paradise compared to this mess. I get sds is a corporation and has to make money but my god scratch the peoples back who put the money in ur guys pockets my god this is getting tiring quick…

Edit: somebody is clearly listening just opened the app and didn’t get asked to pre register for the stupid waste of oxygen of a mobile game…

I'm trying to figure out who in the hell would want a mobile game. I love baseball and I wouldn't touch that thing if they paid me.

@Pergo_MLBTS said:

I'll never understand letting the difficulty of completing the live series have such a big affect on enjoying the game or not. It's not even close to necessary to complete to have a good team unless you have visions of competing at the very top levels and even then it's not exactly necessary.

Here's the deal. Whether you're doing the LS collections or not everything is predicated on a RIDICULOUS (talking 6+ hours as I have about 3+ per day on average) amount of grinding and extreme pack luck. Every collection is the same. We'll give you 3-5 cards of the collection then you need pack luck (with rare pulls) or buy the remaining cards. I do not have a problem grinding or buying cards but I do have a problem with 15 of the 20 needing pulled by being lucky or paying for those cards in a game that stubs are hard to come by.

Sure if I pull Ohtani twice it's great. 99.9999% don't pull him once and there you see the problem. It isn't only the LS collection you can't get it is every collection every week or two. I have played a lot (ton less the last 3 weeks) and still around 850k from LS and probably 8 vouchers from 99 Miggy. Not close to Murals or Cityscapes either. Still 110 out of 142 on WBC.

It is a ridiculously unrewarding game. It will catch up to them.

@Ditka06-_MLBTS said:

They specifically said they will be taking action against the people who did the wbc pack glitch in their message. Bans will be coming. Give them time. Anyone who is saying otherwise is just worried because you are probably a cheater. It took them time to dig into it. Now give them time to make sure they ban the correct people.

You know who doesn't have to worry about this? Me.

@FatKidzLag3617_XBL said:

But they will come in on a Sunday morning at 8am and fix a pack glitch that could lose them money. Then ban anyone that got 459 bronze and silver players from their 300 packs. Which if I may add was their mistake and they banning people for it... Pathetic.

Banning people for this isn't pathetic. It is the right thing to do. However, what is pathetic is all the bugs and glitches that haven't been fixed and letting actual cheaters play the game. This game needs cleaned up big time from all of these.
