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.
@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!
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.
Fake News
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.
That’s a connection issue. Either you or your opponent have a bad connection. It has nothing to do with SDS and all of their issues.
@friskymeerkat1 said in Deleted the game, never buying another:
Scenario:
Ranked season game, I am rated 836, I am winning 3-1 headed into the bottom of the 9th, I bring in 93 Britton to close the game, I record the first 2 outs, then the other guy proceeds to get 2 late jammed singles to get the tying runs on base, he steals them to 2nd and 3rd, then he hits a typical good okay fly ball to center field where diamond fielding Brandon Marsh proceeds to field the ball like a second baseman receiving a one hopper from the catcher instead of catching the fckng fly ball which allows the tying runs to score and sends us to extras, then in the 10th he check swings on a full count and it gives him a walk, however it was in the dirt so I threw to first since it just as easily could have been a dropped third strike, and the game decides to lag and not allow to complete the throwing meter so the ball flies into right field and stops, now the game is frozen and neither of us is going to exit because it is ranked seasons.Moral of the story:
The Show is a terrible game. I literally won the game in 9th inning, I can live with giving up late jammed hits because [censored] happens, but I can't play a game where fielders can't catch a routine flyball. It makes no senseAlso... I love that I get to spend the next significant portion of my Friday waiting for this guy to turn off his PS4 after I had literally won the game in the 9th inning
The Future:
If the game unfreezes and ends up giving the other guy the win, I will be deleting the game and never buying another one. This is ridiculous. Fix the game SDS.Sidenote:
The streams leading up to launch suck, make them more interesting. Nobody wants to watch Ramone ask silly questions to some nerd who explains the answers back to him like he's 5 years old. Just let a real youtuber break the stuff down.
So you deleted the game because of majority user error in the 9th? After 2 singles you didn’t think you change your reliever to counteract Brittons low confidence and the hitters high clutch rating? No you left him in and did a poor job holding on runners which lowered the pitchers confidence more and strengthen the clutch rating of the hitter. You set yourself up for failure. Yes, the OF should have caught the ball but you could have made better strategic decisions leading up to that AB to not put yourself in that position.
My moral of the story is you were too lazy and didn’t want to warm up a reliever or you don’t understand all the factors that come in to play in the 7th inning and later.
@Son_of_the_Blood said in Top 10 SP I'd love to see added in the near future:
David Cone had a pitch for which I remember the announcers using a different name. Do any know what I’m referencing? I can’t recall it.
Fireball
This is a simple conquest. Your total number of fans has a major impact on if teams attack you and the result in a lopsided sim win or loss.
Postseason Evoaldi with 100mph cutter
I only have belli left. I did a lot of showdowns and used the vouchers for team affinity. Other than that I just saved. Rarely bought packs and never did exchanges. My best pull was Ketel Marte.
You just have to be patient and committed to saving stubs.
How does SDS come up with new cards? I would assume they need legal permission from the player or someone representing the player?
With no baseball right now there are so many good cards they could create. For example a Post Season Eovaldi. 99 MPH cutter with outlier perk (would be OP).
Just a thought. More interested in how the process works.
Lol hate post 7 minutes after drop. So ridiculous.
@genopolanco said in IV Chipper:
Nah man. I’m sure you already have equal players right now. Why rush it?
For me the rush is to get a boss quickly and sell. I was able to get carter and sell for 75k. Used that to complete collections and get one step closer to end game cards.
@dogslax41 said in Cutters and Sinkers:
Problem with sinkers is the animation is too similar to the change up bump when picking it up out of the pitchers hand. If a pitcher has a 4 seam and a cutter its more of a small movement to adjust to it to hit it. When you know the pitcher has those two pitches you can just watch for the slight movement off center to know its going to cut and it only requires a slight PCI movement to square it up. Hitting a cutter is more about just knowing the pitcher has that movement in his repertoire and working on that slight pull of the PCI to adjust to it when you see it start to move.
People have issues on legend with sinkers because its not a slight adjustment to time up a mid 80s vs high 90s pitch by the time you recognize it.
Lol animation?!? You mean pitch movement created by the players who this game is made after.
