@NWOStunna said in Just Pulled Trout, Keep or Sell?:

Sell right now. His price is highest it has been.

It's not even close to the highest he's ever gone though, i've seen his LS cards go up to 450k, i really doubt that happens this year though.

@xSMOKEnMIRRORSx_PSN said in Can you use Ohtani as a two way in BR:

I think you put him in lineup and just select him to pitch

in the DH spot is what he prob means for the lineup part

I can't read a run on paragraph with multiple topics. Maybe I'm the 1% there.

Sounds like somebody lost a game.

@cosmic_wonders said in What's the move with the market crash?:

All packs are 50% for the next week in the show shop.. load up on those 50 bundles and quick sell me that Trout

I don't know if I should do it, my pack luck as been insane the last couple days, pulled mantle, joe morgan, Chapman, Liam Hendricks, Bryce Harper, and Byron Buxton. And I don't buy packs, these are just the free packs from the team affinities and the inning programs, but I feel like buying packs is just a really dumb idea, even if I'm on an insane hot streak.

It really just depends on pitcher. Personally I threw from the slide step and didn’t have decreased velo

@dingers4days14 said in Finally the Giants are getting some respect:

We hadn't gotten any giants topps now or POTM until somewhat recently, and thank you sds for finally giving us some recognition.

I have a feeling that there are probably fans of more than a few teams that could say that their team has been ignored in Topps Now and POTM cards.

The Braves and Nationals, for example, have had 0 cards between POTM and Topps Now

The Marlins, Angels, Astros, Mets, Pirates, and Diamondbacks only have 1 cards between those card types.

Several more teams, including Cardinals and Royals, have 2 cards in those categories so Giants were not ignored any moreso than other teams.

As a Rangers fan we tend to get pooped on quite often but the Topps cards this year have given us some great ones. It just seems to be a theme that every one we get has low vision but high power lol. Either way I'm not complaining.

@halfbutt_psn said in Gausman?:

I for one, am not loving the multiple versions of cards, especially so close together. How many Kluber are we going to have by end of year?

I think it’s fine that we aren’t getting super OP cards too early, but it would be way better if cards were unique.

Agreed, and it wasn't like Kluber was so extraordinarily good to where it was a disgrace to not give him another card. Like barely above a 2.00 ERA is good don't get me wrong, but I'm pretty sure both Degrom and Gausman were sub 1.00 and gausman didn't get [censored]. (don't quote me on the exact numbers please)

There's a YouTube video by movie gaming that shows how to do it. I have tested it and it works

@rebsfan_psn said in Get on Base 6 times with Matt Kemp.... until it isn't:

Common sense says hit, walk or hbp

Common sense says that getting to first on an error is reaching first base.

safe on an error means should have been out but due to a mistake you were not.
Didnt reach base safely, you should have been out.same for fielders choice- they chose the other guy instead of you.

Lol and people have the nerve to critique my thought out thread! Omfg i am roflol. Great videos ty👍

Your thread wasn't thought out lmfao. Nobody liked what you said and everyone hated it. Why should you have input on a game mode that you don't play? A salesman at Staples doesn't tell Bill Gates how to do his job.

That's your arguement? Omfg that's funnier than your videos! Omg i needed a laugh tyvm

Don't mind OP he's just upset that his feelings aren't strong enough to validate making game animation changes.

I just said your facts are out of date and you didn't seem to like it and you went off on a tangent.

When it comes to facts and using data. There is a window of about 5-7 years where data still remains relevant. So my two year old video is still relevant in this situation. The CF catch to solidify the Sox PG, is a video example that demonstrates a crazy play. If asked nicely, I'll pull a video for you that's more recent and shows an average player(s) making a great defensive play.

The evidence I presented isn't out of date simply because you deem it as such nor does it falsely demonstrate the point that average baseball players can and do make ridiculous plays.

Odds are, had you been on the opposite end of the two plays you linked, this thread wouldn't exists. Further proving the point that all you have is not liking what happened to you. It's sucks, I'm sorry. You're going to rob people of HRs, take advantage of someone being caught off guard and win because of it. Welcome to sports.

Are you just making this number up? Since when does data still remain relevant about 5-7 years later. I've never heard that before. Tim Lincecum was a CY young winner in 2009. In just three short years he was pitching out of the bullpen, in 5 he pitched one game in the Giant's postseason run. In 7 years he was irrelevant, pitching for the Angels, and having a 9.16 era. Tell me how his stats from 2009 have any effect on him as an Angel in 2016. It doesn't. He was a completely different pitcher after 2011. He lost his velocity entirely. Don't make the argument that it's different because his prime ended. Most players don't have 7 year primes, or even 5 (they will continue to have good seasons, but not their prime).

Yeah it's a crazy play, nobody denies that. What you don't understand is who the person is or the situation. He wasn't the starter. He wasn't a pinch hitter. He was a DEFENSIVE REPLACEMENT in a position that requires better defense than the majority of the other positions. A defensive replacement in center field. What are you trying to say? This guy can't field? No, he may be a scrub ballplayer because very little amounts of players are remembered for their defense when they can't hit, but he can field and that's the argument we are having.
Also, I wouldn't classify bronze as even average fielding. Logically it makes sense that silver is average as there are both two levels below and above it. So I would classify bronze fielding as below average. I'm not saying that bronze fielders can't field a ball they can, they're major leaguers ffs. I'm just saying they shouldn't be making ridiculous plays because of bs animations like the ones in the videos. You really shifted the whole purpose of the forum. It was to complain about the bs animation.

Odds are that if I were on the opposite end of this, I would still post about it. I feel bad when I a bs home run on a pitch I shouldn't have hit out, because that shouldn't have counted. And no, I don't give the guy a run back, but I'll admit it and message the player after the game and tell them I got bailed out. I don't want this animation in the game, even if I was the one who got bailed on it.

I could care less on robbing home runs. That is skill oriented, not luck or rng like this animation is. I ain't going to complain because my opponent is better than me, that isn't luck, and this is the point that I'm trying to make is that the animation is bs luck and shouldn't be in the game.

@dingers4days14 said in Solid Make-right bundle:

I just really wanted to make this forum to say that SDS does actually give a [censored], especially compared to 2k and madden. Yeah it took awhile, but they're finally getting there. To the people that complain about what they gave us, they could have given us nothing. I think it was madden 19 or 20 the servers were worse than mlb's were this year and they didn't give us anything. Not to mention 10 showdown TA vouchers free and a free 42 series player. SDS is better than any other sports game company hands down.

While I agree that the bundle was a nice make right... I have to chime in and point out that the servers in Madden were not ever as bad as this was this year in The Show. Madden has had bad nights, but never has been unplayable for almost 2 weeks straight. I'm a regular yearly MUT player and can tell you that there is no comparison in the two servers at all. The MUT servers host 5x more players than the Show and I took more disconnect losses or games that didn't count during the first week of the Show than I've had in the last 3 years of Madden. Bottom line is The Show can be a great game if they get their servers in line with most other popular online games like MUT and FiFA.

I could point out that the servers were in fact playable during those two weeks. There were definitely moments where it was unplayable but to say that it was impossible to play DD for two weeks is a fib. I'm also a yearly MUT player and I remember for a fact that at the beginning of madden 19 it was impossible to do anything because the menus were so dam slow and that nearly every squads and seasons game I played ended with a DC. Obviously madden has a bigger player base, but they never have to deal with the player database more than doubling, they usually have about the same number of players every year, but the show just took on all the people on Xbox, while also making a game for a new generation of consoles. My point is, it's a lot easier to have good servers when you know the amount of players year in and year out as opposed to an exponential influx.

There's a HUGE difference between slow and unplayable. The player base grows in Madden every year... look up the numbers yourself and you will see. If you think the Show wasn't unplayable for the majority of the first 2 weeks then you play at a different time of day than I do because between 6-11pm 8 out of the first 10 nights it was definitely unplayable. I have played MUT since MUT started and NEVER couldn't play at all for multiple nights in a row. Not just MUT either... no online game I've played was unplayable like this was before they fixed it. If The Show had half the server capacity as Madden.... there would have been zero issue this year.

When it takes 5 minutes for the menus to load, the game is basically unplayable. And I also said right afterwards that I was DC from nearly every game so unplayable.... I never said that the Madden player base doesn't grow. I said they don't have to deal with a doubling population, which are both correct statements. Now you're changing what you said. First it was unplayable for two weeks. Now it's playable 2 out of the 10 days for you. That sucks dude I was able to play a game every night since the game that has been out. I'm sincerely glad they addressed the problem. I'm not saying I didn't have a share of server issues, I'm just saying that they were in fact playable, and it wasn't as if they game wasn't out for two weeks. Also, you can't give me a time without a time zone. For all I know you could be in Australia. Okay Congrats? I could careless how long you've played madden. I'm not sure how you were able to survive the beginning of madden 19 when my friends and I couldn't get through one squads game without 2 or more people being DC. Evidently, you didn't read my last sentence, hopefully you read it this time. Madden knows about how many players to expect each year. Their player base increases, but not at the exponential pace that MLB the Show did this year because of the expansion to Xbox. Madden servers can deal with all of the players because they've been doing it for years. Their servers have already been proven to hold all their players. My point is that it is a lot harder to build something up, than to have excess, and MLB had to build up their servers because of the exponential increase of players. Next time I urge you to read my paragraph in full before you respond. You missed three key points/ arguments.

@dingers4days14 said in Can you not replay Homeruns?:

I'm currently playing a game against a guy who continuously squares a bunt nonstop before I throw the ball and I just hit a 487 foot moonshot with yelich. I was pressing L2, but it didn't replay it, and this isn't the first time this has happened for me. Anyone else having this problem?

Is he showing bunt then going back to a normal stance or is he bunting every at bat?

He was spamming triangle before every pitch.

Then take your time to pitch. Not saying that you were quick pitching; but if you take longer to pick he'll stop playing like an idiot.

Nah, it didn't matter how long I took to pitch, he still spammed.

@whiskeyone_psn said in RF recommendations?:

I'm working on getting Santander. What about Bellinger? He makes a great RF. I move him to 1B sometimes too. Around 100k. Has highest OPS on my team for me and I have Soto, Acuna, and some other diamond hitters.

I've been thinking about that.... Just trying to get him for the right price

I recently got up to an all diamond squad, but just sold about 5 diamonds (mainly pitching) because I wanted to get Acuna. He will have a longer lifespan in the game as far as being a top outfielder. Also, I've mainly done offline stuff up until this point in the game grinding. So I really only was using one or two SPs and a few guys out of the pen anyways. I'm personally going for adding pitching last.

@prosiayz_xbl said in Hits vs. Errors:

i seen a fair amount of errors along with bad animations that cause a fake error

No I'm not really talking about the frequency of error animations necessarily, but the fact when your players do make errors they are usually called hits, when they really should be easy plays, and therefore should be an error.

Garbage game, garbage servers. Not much else to say. This is why I am grateful for Gamepass, because I wouldn't pay 100 bucks to get bent over and given it good, why they still were reaching into my pocket, looking for my wallet

Is this just on equipment?

Yeah I think so...

@sbevans142_psn said in Relief pitching:

Lee Smith is usually good for an inning. I like Gallegos for whatever reason he has been kind of solid for me.

I think gallegos is beginning to grow on me, he did just throw 3 shutout innings in a 17 inning game for me
