Why do ppl complain immediately after they fail new content.
“Al Kaline - I can’t hit a HR”
“Showdown - perfect/perfect out”
And so on.
This game isn’t perfect but would be ridiculous if everything could be completed on the first try.
There is plenty of content for 99.9% of the population.
Lol hate post 7 minutes after drop. So ridiculous.
In RS only.....
They need to change the auto defensive shifts and situational shifts. I think it should be up to the user to make these decisions (example: no doubles late in game or the “Ortiz shift”).
It is bailing out to many bad players late in games.
@Dynasty238 said in Late inning blown games RS:
Is this a problem for anyone? It is getting ridiculous for me. Today I have lost FOUR games in the 8th inning or later while I was up 6-3 , 4-0 and 3-0, and 2-0 The other opponent had less then 5 hits in all 3 occasions. I’ve tried everything. Keeping my starter in, bringing in Kluber with full energy in the 9th, or just simply going with elite relievers. No matter what there is an error, 1 or 2 sawed off hits followed by a home run. Mix in a passed ball in there too. It’s actually unreal, it’s like you do not want to have a lead late in games. I’d say it might be me and my skill level but come on I can’t control these cheap hits, errors and good timing pitches missing middle. Is anyone else having this problem? Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone have any advice on how to seal these games up.
I think it’s important to have players in their primary position at the end of games with the lead. It’s always helpful to have an elite blocking catcher so you can feel comfortable throwing all pitches in the dirt.
I think too many ppl populate their bench with the 5 best hitters available. Instead put 1 or 2 defensive subs to help you close out games.
If your gunna play good players with a shitty catcher it will force you to throw too many strikes and they will time one up late in games with elite hitters.
Wait so you blew the lead??
That never happens in the MLB
SMH SDS!!!
@BodamEscapePlan said in It's over. After weeks of flipping...:
Honestly, now that I'm done... I'll share my method but be warned, it's tedious, boring and you have to be patient sometimes.
Bronze cards are your moneymakers. Sure, you can buy Commons for the 5 or 6 quick-sell price and take advantage when they're selling for around 40-50 Stubs. I did that with a few cards and I mostly stuck to ones that I knew usually sold for more. The biggest thing though is, take advantage of having unlimited buy orders, that alone made flipping so much better for me.
The best advice I ever heard when it came to flipping sounds so simple but it helped me change my mindset, "all profit is good profit." Now, that doesn't mean buy a card for 45 Stubs and sell him at 50 Stubs, but making 40-50 Stubs on each card you flip adds up so quickly. The last two days, I focused on low-bronzes that I could put buy orders in around 25-30 Stubs and then I could sell them for 80-110 Stubs a piece. The more you flip, the more you realize there are certain teams that move much quicker, sell for more, and just have excellent profit margins, but on the flipside, there's teams you want to avoid like the plague! For example, the Angels are a waste of time and personally, I more often than not have been disappointed by Cubs and Cardinals players for whatever reason. Oh, and the Yankees! There isn't much Stubs to be made off the Yankees.
Aside from that, it's all about finding your rhythm. If you place a buy order and the profit margins are nice but by the time you actually get the card, the margins have dropped -- hold onto them! Chances are the price will be back to a healthy profit within the next 6-12 hours.
I hope this helps someone. Good luck guys!
Congrats! I accomplished LS collections as well. It’s a great feeling and makes your ranked team so much better. Now it’s the grind to prestige all those great cards.
One thing I would add to your stub making method is playing the market based off the schedule. The majority of stubs I’ve made on the market are from investing. What I mean is pay attention to the SDS schedule and their plan for player programs, monthly awards, and events. Buy cards based off of that. For example, events prices increase because of the increase in buy now orders. Program prices increase because the majority of players opt to do exchanges rather than missions or moments.
It’s rewarding completing the LS collection after being smart and frugal with your stubs!
Looking to improve my 3B position. Currently using LS Suarez (worst and weakest player on my squad). Looking at team affinity Moncada, team infinity Seager, or BO Matthews.
Anyone use the above or have any suggestions?
Dekman. Throws hard with movement from a 3/4 arm slot.
Be patient. He’s so good that he will make weak contact with a lot of pitches outside the zone that most players swing and miss on.
I am strictly talking attributes. Not performance.
Because you have to choose the type of player (contact, balanced, power) the CAP will always be lacking one or more of the important attributes.
Many if not all of the top cards now have elite contact, power, vision, fielding, and speed.
This can not be replicated with the current CAP structure.
I use my CAP at C and have him maxed out with maxed out equipment. With all these new high end cards coming out it seems as if there is a better player at every position in the field.
I am thinking about starting a RP CAP as I feel that is the weakest position in the game? Would like to get ppl thoughts on this?
Also any chance SDS will release better equipment to close the gap between these newer cards and a maxed out CAP?
Helton (until I get Thames)

The collection cards are fine how they are, they added a stat grind to make them better (which I’m stoked on). I can’t overstate how happy I am with the prestige program, it’s awesome to chase a card and get it and then still have that stat grind to take it to the next level. A+ move by sds
The Prestige is basically this games version of a Power Up program. I like the idea but it has potential.
1 - All Diamond tier cards should be eligible to be Powered Up through stat grinds.
2 - There needs to be an Offline stat grind.
3 - You should be able to Power them up to 99 overall with the more stats you accumulate.
Offline is too easy to manipulate , I like it the way it is and I don’t think everyone should be able to be a 99. This is something I think they got right
Yeah, a lot of players play offline though that would like to get those cards. Locking them behind the online wall is kinda shady. All program cards should have multiple paths to acquire, it’s one of the reasons why I started playing DD, the freedom of choice was nice. They took a step back from that this year with this prestige program.
You can still get the card , you just can’t prestige it. DD is an online mode that is designed around a foundation of head to head online play. That’s why it takes online play to take it to the next level, this is one area I’m extremely pleased with
If DD is solely intended to be an online mode, they need to get rid of any and all offline aspects. I don’t see that happening so include the offline players in the Prestige Power Up program.
What they could do is, have stat grinds for offline and online, if you complete offline you can only use it for offline play, Complete online for online play only.
I agree you took the words right out of my mouth. Offline stats are too easy to achieve. If you earn a card offline it should be locked to offline only.

@dark_Jsaac said in Kemp vs trout is a joke:
SDS clearly can’t figure it out. Kemp was never better in his career than trout is now but he’s rated higher lmaoooooo
Makes sense why the game doesn’t work
THANK YOU. Every year this kinda stuff drives me insane. Especially when you don’t have money to spend on the game and have to grind for LS cards.
Last year there was about 100 players who were never as good as Trout is right now, but had better cards than his Live Series. And now this year every average minor league player apparently deserves a card as good as Trout. Makes no sense.
This game is 100% no money spent. Every single card can be earned with skill and/or strategic plan.

The game has been out for around 2 months during a pandemic. Players are home grinding every content drop. Mantle is easy to achieve if done right.
Please elaborate on the revenue being generated? I guess we can start there. Next let’s discuss about the relief pitcher hitting a dinger on a SL outside of the zone.
I completed all collections a few days ago.
Definitely could of been more efficient but here is what I would recommend.
Focus on completing divisions in this order:
AL Central
AL East
AL West
NL Central
NL East
NL West
Always create buy orders.
