Ok. Aside from the fact that we all agree that the servers suck, etc. Can we all agree that besides all that stuff this year's game was actually decent?

I know, this is going to probably become a hot topic of intense debate, but I think that, putting those things aside, this year's game was actually great.

At the beginning of the year, you had a free 99 Jackie, (although hard to obtain if you were NMS) and also some quality low level headliner diamonds. I think it was kinda weird that they stopped at 40 Headliner packs, as last year was 50, so I think we were all a little disappointed by that, but still some actually good quality cards that I'm sure some people still have in their lineups today.

The bosses ramped up in their OVRs pretty quickly, quicker than last year, but the bosses were great. Yes, I know, we are all still waiting for 99 Griffey, (as of the time of this post) but other than that, I think we have checked off the boxes for most of the diamonds that everyone was waiting for.

The collections this year, I mean the Legends and Flashbacks collections, were really good. When we looked at the calendar in like late August (?) and it said that there was already a big collection coming out, we were all probably caught off guard. "How could there already be a huge collection!!" It ended up being 99 Rivera. Then you had Mookie. Now we have Kershaw. I think they are done adding new big collection rewards to the Legends and Flashbacks. The All-Star collection was awesome. I personally haven't used 99 Ohtani, but I couldn't hit well against him online.

The Live Series collection to me was just the same as it always is, so nothing special to cover there.

Team Affinity this year was great, in my opinion. All 4 TAs so far have been good, with the rewards being pretty decent. I know TA 5 is coming, so yay. Make sure you stock up on all those golds and silvers, maybe even a few bronzes, my friends.

Even the Postseason Program has been good. High level cards, that could actually be used in a RS game or something. As of right now, the World Series is tied 1-1. (Sorry if I just accidentally spoiled it for anyone who didn't know that) I think it will be a great series.

This is my opinion about the major content that has happened so far this year. I'm sure I missed a few major content updates or something, but this is just off the top of my head.

Tell me what you think

OK, I know everyone is probably tired of everyone being like, "Oh Tatis this, and Oh Tatis that!! He does it all! He's awesome!" OK. Great. I was one of the few people who was hoping it would be someone other than Tatis, but when it was him, I wasn't really surprised at all. I got the card yesterday, and tried him out today in RS. He got out in his 1st AB, and then went on a TEAR. He ended up hitting for the cycle IN FENWAY PARK! I didn't choose Fenway Park, I was the away team. I was shocked that he did that well. I hope he continues to do that... That would be nice. Anyways, he went 5 for 6 with 2 HRs (One over the Green Monster), a triple, a double, and a single.

My question to everyone is basically this:
Do you like the Fernando Tatis Jr. MA card? How well do you hit with him, and do you wish is was still someone else?

@The_DoctorsWife
You can hit L1 BEFORE it pops up, I usually hit it right as I see the ball come back into the frame, or right before the fielder is going to catch it, and I can get an ever BETTER jump without leaving the bag too early.

Alright people, I KNOW for fact that it isn't just a me thing, Perfect-Perfect outs need to be NON-EXISTENT. PERIOD. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. If you hit a perfect-perfect flyball WITH 125 POWER it should be a no-doubt homer EVERY time. No matter what. Any don't even get me started with the perfect-perfect lineouts. I know, perfect-perfect liner is more straight, not much launch angle, but still, THEY SHOULD NOT BE CAUGHT. Perfect-Perfect Grounders make sense for getting caught, since you are hitting it on the ground. But the other two, this is unacceptable. I hope I am not the only one who thinks this should be fixed.

@sds I would really appreciate it if you could take note of this, or at least fix Perfect-Perfect Flyball. Just that change alone would make everyone SO much happier with the game. Thanks.

What do you all think? Do you agree with me? What do you hate the MOST about Perfect-Perfect Outs?

@go4stros25_psn said in Honus question:

Wagner looks awesome. All the new cards look awesome ( Kershaw not so much with only 107 h/9 as a touted "big collection") content is great today.

My question is, why does honus have diamond defense? I can't wait to use the card and all, but he had over 800 errors in his career and is near the top all time in the category. Am I missing something?

Serious question.

IDK maybe he made some awesome play or something that they heard about and they are like, "hmm yep. looks to me like he gets diamond fielding just for that." That is dumb though.

Can't we all just like... Ya know... Stop mentioning this? I mean, the advice is great, but I have heard it so many times it is getting really old.

POV: We all don't really care anymore.

You guys are being very rude, I would appreciate it if you would go be rude somewhere else. If I don't want to tell the world what the bug is, I don't have to, but since you are all complaining, I will. I was playing MTO, and I was unable to move my player at all in a player locked moment, and the player, when fielding, would act as if the ball was never even hit to them.

2 things: Who is "Doby?" and Are they a prime series card??? PLEASE LET IT BE SO!! I JUST NEED 1 MORE PRIME CARD TOWARDS TROUT COLLECTION!!!!

You are fine

Ok so, I am a NMS player, and I noticed as I was going through my L&F collection for TA5, the one where you need 50, I noticed that I had a lot of cards that could be sold, and actually could make decent money for me. Well, it just so happened that I somehow ended up with an even 175,000 stubs while I was thinking about this.

In the span of 15 minutes, I just so happened to make roughly double my stubs total. I had about 393,000 stubs. Give or take 5,000, I don't quite remember. Well now after about 2 hours, all of which what I am about to tell you was done in the first 30 mins of that, I now have 586,000 stubs.

I am shocked. I am still not done. I mostly just sold my golds, silvers, and a few diamonds, one or two of which were worth 40,000 and one worth 100,000. Other than that, everything was golds and silvers.

The point I am trying to make is, sell your cards now, because the market is moving fast. Just wanted to tell you about my success.

@mjfc_363_psn said in BR program cards:

They hardly ever come up in the draft. Need to shuffle them in more!

Try sniping the BR cards. Purposely don't take their position of the field and wait till their rarity appears and I'm pretty sure it works a lot of the time.

I think I am at like 73 wins and it is about 38 losses. I don't quit that often, more like never, and I just enjoy the game. If I lose, it is because my opponent is probably better than me, or my Playstation is dumb and disconnects me from my wifi.

@beatlesnews_psn said in Just Division series or Postseason?:

OK, I acknowledge this is a dumb question. But in the missions in the championship series program, do the total bases and strikeouts count only from the division series players cards or is it anyone in the postseason series that has a card? Thanx.

It is only for the Division Series Postseason cards. I didn't do that however. All I did was the conquest and the moments, which actually didn't take that long, only about 20 min, and then I did the 4 missions with LA, BOS, ATL, and HOU. Then I won 6 games of the postseason event, and that got me to 100. That is what I did.

@whitejw98_psn said in This will sound very controversial...:

The main thing that stuck out in my mind was the title of the post. Is this place really such a toxic dump of negativity that someone can't say anything positive about the game without worrying that it will spark controversy?

There are a few minor things I could nitpick like server issues, time limited inning programs, progression to 99s being a little too fast and of course the complete cluster expletive that was RTTS, but overall I really enjoyed the game. This is the first year I've ever played past early August so I've started to get a little burned out lately, but I definitely feel like I got my money's worth.

True, but I just wanted to take into account that if I didn't really say that, and make it clear that I wanted it to be positive feedback only, it would have turned into a "this game sucks and I absolutely hate it" thread, and I didn't want that

@dirty-shawnchez_psn said in Steal Fans in Conquest:

Any pointers on when to do these?

In maps where you get a Steal 'X' fans goal; do you get this goal out of the way ASAP or do you save it for later?

Do you steal one at a time or do you steal more at a time?

Do you still play this part after you completed any requirements?

All I do is wait till the last stronghold and get them surrounded, then do it.
