Looking for it for custom practice. I know someone made one that has two teams containing all the DD cards but don't remember what to search for.

I’m not at all disappointed this card is gonna be insane, I’m happy to smack nukes all day against anyone hating on it

@pfcorporate_psn said in Anyone think the big collection is Pujols?:

Possible they do a program for pujols. They did that for ichiro and somebody else who I can’t remember pretty recently. It’s possible the collection is someone who hasn’t been announced. I don’t believe Honus had been announced at all before the collection in 19.

I highly doubt it's a new legend, the Honus thing was probably a one time only event. Pujols was an inning boss in 19 and a WS reward last year, so the only avenues for him this year (assuming they continue to not repeat bosses) is a collection, program, or BR reward.

He's retiring this year so it wouldn't shock me if he's the big one. Everyone's expecting Aaron but SDS almost never does what anyone expects.

@halfbutt_psn said in This new content blows!:

I think OP has a point. “Rookie” difficulty in years pre-2018 meant big pci, slow pitch speeds, and lots of pitches down the middle.

“Rookie” now can easily see four or five balls in a row to start an AB, followed by well located pitcher’s pitches in the zone.

I think moments as a concept are fine, but the way the sliders are cranked now is very frustrating. Sure, you’ll complete the moment after enough tries, but it’s not that fun.

Personally, I think this has to do with deficiencies in the hitting engine more than anything.

In real baseball, the game is controlled by throwing strikes and staying ahead. In the show, the game is controlled by throwing balls. Just play any game online to see what I mean.

With all due respect, if you play online and don’t see any strikes, stop swinging. If you’re chasing balls out of the zone, why would anyone give you something to hit? That’s exactly what would happen IRL.

@lazy_toast_psn said in Moonshot Event?:

Yea I only played two games but I’m
Hitting bombs. Dudes are quitting after the 1st inning

I haven't lined out this much since MLBTS 19 before the HR/9 patch. It's been insane. I'm smacking the ball around like a MF'r and losing to the [censored] PCI HR's you'd expect in the moonshot event.

More like lineout event. Sheesh. This is brutal so far. Am I the only one?

@virtusjockstrap_psn said in Diamond Dynasty won’t work:

Anyone know how to fix my diamond dynasty? I can play everything except diamond dynasty. Every time I try and open it, it just says network error unhandled server exception. It’s not my internet, I have 2 maxed road to the show players and I can play online, but not diamond dynasty. Had the game since release and it hasn’t ever fixed itself. I bought the game to play this mode.

Have you tried re-installing the game?

@dap1234567890 said in Diamond Dynasty won’t work:

DD is working for everyone else and it is telling you that you have no internet connection! So cry a little more, that should help!

You really don’t need to be such a [censored] to OP, bud.

I totally agree. I haven’t grinded RS this year much, but in years past I have made WS. My Era this year with my starters and my BP is amazingly low compared to years past (4+ era). I haven’t even tried pinpoint yet, just doing analog still and still dotting pitches I couldn’t in years past. It’s a lot more fun now especially in HOF and up.

I made WS once in 19 which was honestly just total luck. I was pretty awful, it was my first year playing DD and first year playing the The Show since 16. I spent all last year trying to get back and inevitably would stall out in the mid-800's because every game turned into a HR shootout and I had trouble adding on once I got 4 or 5 runs. I finally realized I was just going to need to hit better and really focused on my hitting and finally got back in twice in the last few seasons of the year. But [censored] if every game wasn't HR derby.

This year I'm 41-7 in ranked and have a 2.55 lifetime ERA. I'm wiping the floor with guys with WS and 12-0 banners. But at the same time I know I'm not THAT good. I think with the addition of Xbox players the quality of competition has gone down dramatically. These games aren't even that sweaty and last year pretty much every game above 800 was a complete sweat fest.

That’s good to hear man and congrats on the good record, keep the grinding. I decided this season I would grind it out for WS. Currently at 845ish with a 8-2 record (I think lol). Two rage quits today in first three innings, I guess people give up after an early homerun. Lol with what you and others are saying, I think I’ll just grind out the last few wins this weekend to get Vida.

Go for it man! People are definitely giving up if they see you can hit. With so many people struggling at the plate because of pinpoint there's a lot of quits if you go up by 4 or 5 runs. If you've made WS before you already know it but if you're good enough to hit 845 you're good enough to make WS.

It is, 100%, but if you master pinpoint and sequence well it's not going to matter much.

I just made WS for the first time this year and compared to 19 and 20, ranked feels massively easier than in years past. Pinpoint has made it possible to win without needing to score 9 runs per game and it's glorious. I feel like I'm playing actual baseball and not Ken Griffey Jr. Slugfest. I can actually pitch and limit my opponent's offense unless they're a total goon. I got into WS with .917 ops which was almost impossible last year.

Anyone else feel the same way, or am I just improving as a player?

If you frequent these forums, I'm sorry dude. I literally said out loud while the game was closing that I hoped I wasn't about to get a W. You were a nightmare to pitch to.

@jnavarro25_psn said in If you hit R2 Three Times Before EVERY PITCH…..:

The R2 guys don't bother me at all. Just start waiting a ton of time between each pitch. I do that for a couple of batters so that they can't disrupt my timing. It's more annoying to them than they are to you and they usually stop. If they don't, I continue for an inning at a time until they do.

I do exactly this and it usually works. Once they realize you can make things equally annoying they usually stop or at least reduce the amount they do it.

@untchable704_psn said in Any secret to Jackie robinson swing?:

I hear good things about him but in 72 ABs he’s batting .206 for me. He’s at parallel 3. In comparison Soriano batted .285 for me in 152 ABs before I benched him. Maybe I should power swing?

I don't know, I've always had your experience with Jackie cards until now. His 42 collection reward is absolutely mashing for me.

@cobain93_psn said in All collections done!:

Dumb question.,...but at some point in the year....does the Live Series Collection become NOT worth doing?

I mean, we'll have a better 3B than Chipper and a better CF than Trout.

But at what point is that?

TIA

You may very well never have a better 3B than Chipper. Same goes for Soriano- he can play 2B plus anywhere in the outfield. The only other end game card we'll get that can do that is Mookie. You can make a case that the LS collection isn't worth it once we're around Halloween and Finest cards have come out/are about to come out, but it really isn't until then.

Reported!

@genopolanco_psn said in Encountered a freeze glitcher in the wild:

Were you thrown out?

I intentionally got into a rundown so I could make the third out. I was up by 4 runs, this kid was trash, and I just need to retire him in the next inning and the game was over.

Knew exactly what he was doing so I immediately send all my runners on the throw home. It worked and the game didn't glitch.

I can't believe how incredibly pathetic people are.
