That’s a tough couple games man. Should be some nice weather the next couple days. Should do your sanity some good. Have you ever dashboarded during your MTO runs? I’ve heard that if you do that, you run the risk of not be rewarded.

Good luck!

Can't confirm those numbers but yeah you get everything so long as you earn the points

@DIRTY__SHAWNCHEZ said in Ok that was weird.:

Decided to try for the last two runs with Gold OFers in an Events game; since I JUST had my SECOND RS game where someone Dashboarded. This one lasted until the 2nd Inning and ironically had a team full of Golds and Diamonds.

Anyway, I make my lineup and enter the Event. Go to search for an opponent and my screen flickered and kicked me out of the Search option.

Here is the weird thing: After 8 got kicked out, my Universal Profile changed from having the Gold MLB The Show icon and nameplate to a NY Yankees icon and a WS Nameplate. Ummm, I've played 2 RS games total!

Needless to say it changed back. But was weird

Yeah that happens...no biggie

I seen this on YouTube the other day and it has changed my life. It makes generating lineups for team affinity and dailies so much faster. I wish I knew about it sooner.

Have needed to complete a Daily that is 4 runs with Gold Outfielders for the last 2 days.

Keep getting screwed in BR. Either dont get OFs in my Gold rounds or I get screwed on the basepaths.

Lucked out abd packed LS Blackman and Rosario; so I figured I would tryit in an RS game.

Knew it was going to be a fun game when my opponent replayed his first homerun for Griffey, then when he hit another, replayed again.

Got 2 of the runs early because he started off with a right handed pitcher amd I was running all lefties in my first 3 spots.

He then decides to bring in a LH SP in the 3rd Inning. I'm thinking 'Great'.

Fast forward to the bottom if the 8th. Im up 4-3. He still has that Gold LH SP in.

I get a base hit with Rosario then another eith Blackman.

No outs runners on first and second. LS Encarncion up to bat. He brings in a RH RP who's main pitch is a sinker.

First pitch, low and away sinker, which I connect for what should be a 3 run HR, giving me my last two Gold OF runs and 4 Stars. But no, the POS dashboards and the runs don't count.

Yes, it was a free win. But now I have to try again for those last two runs.
Play events and load up on LS gold OF's. Should get it done in a game or two.

The highest rated players I have are LS Rosario and Blackman. Rest are Silvers and Bronzes. Not worth it, in my opinion, to go up against an All Diamond Team and 'hope' can get on base with them and eventually hit them in.

Maybe the LS event is the way to go. Three inning games and very plausible with Blackmon and Rosario and some glitchy silvers.

He was great in April, but people have probably seen him a lot now. He can be amazing still against mediocre or worse players.

@bjannan said in Rewards after 300 Stars in the 3rd Inning Program:

But the 5 pack could contain Trout!!! That's what keeps me going.
Though, I did pull him yesterday in a 15 pack. I'd like another one, please.

Im got a 12 pack tonight and I am enjoying it.

I said [censored] the rules my home team wears black....WOOOOO! F U conformity

Flexing about being broke...

Where is the diamond Giolito, or did they just give one to Lucas?

I knew Hernandez played in St Louis but I never knew he played there longer than in NY.

As bad as gameplay can be, I love this game for teaching me new things about baseball history. I also didn’t know very much about Robin Roberts or George Foster, so I’ve already learned about a couple new players from baseball history this year. So that’s cool.

Fielding still sucks though.

Hernandez had the two best seasons of his career with the cardinals as well.

He won the co-MVP in St. Louis.

Which is just absurd. Stargell didn’t deserve a single first place vote. He shouldn’t have even been in the top 20 that year, and even that might be generous.

Winfield, Schmidt, and Hernandez were the only three deserving candidates.

It’s pretty cringeworthy to look back at old MVP voting results because of how unbelievably wrong most of them are.

It’s insane. I was recently looking at 1998, the year McGwire hit 70hrs. McGwire was better than Sosa in almost every category, still finished second to him in the MVP.

You're wrong. Sosa had more R, RBI, more hits, better average, throw in 18 steals, and he played in the OF not 1B... McGuire wacked 4 more HR.

Plus Sosa propelled the Cubs to the playoffs and McGuires Cardinals didn't.

I'm not wrong. Your thinking is archaic.

You just said McGuire led Sosa in almost every category. You were wrong, that was not the case at all.

Apologies. I meant every important category.

So actual production R, RBI, AVG, etc and defensive ability, base running, aren't important to you? LMAO what a clown. Another guy that learns trendy new things like WAR but yet can't properly apply the metrics in discussion.

Keep reading kid. You might learn how to apply those things some day. Pick up the Baseball Forecaster it's a good jump on extra analytics and maybe give you perspective on the use and application of analytics.

"Actual Production R, RBI, AVG"
The player has very little control over two of those, and the other tells a very incomplete picture

You do when you hit 50 points higher in high leverage situations (as Sosa did) and 30 points higher with RISP (as Sosa did) and have the base running ability to swipe 18 bags to put yourself in scoring position (as Sosa did) rather than being a stone footed sloth.

I also never claimed it gave a complete picture, just responded to the guy who incorrectly claimed McGwire led Sosa in every category, noting Sosa led in those categories, before he stated actual production was not important.

@ChuckCLC said in When entering an H2H game.....:

If you are talking about on the lineup screen they are checking for lag. You have to make sure lag isnt unplayable. unfortunately if you are the home team you wont be able to tell. As it will always feel smooth. But if you are the away team you will always feel lag when switching between players in your lineup. If the lag is reasonable you continue into the game. If there is a significant delay then back out. But like I said, if you are the home team you cannot tell until the game actually starts.

Thanks for this. Very interesting.

@DIRTY__SHAWNCHEZ said in Pick Two out of the Three:

For third base. Hitting and defense.

LS Bregman
IV Chipper
BO Mathews.

And go.......

Eddie and Chipper. Move Chipper to SS and the left side of your infield is complete.

I am putting Rewards Larkin at SS.

@DIRTY__SHAWNCHEZ I sometimes stream so a friend or two can watch my games, but I was wondering if it’s adding to my issues in game by straining my connection, so I experimented with recording games and uploading the video to YouTube, partly to get around the potential connection issues and also so that he can watch a game in his own time, rather than trying to be around when I’m on to stream. As said above, ShareFactory is a free app for PS4 that can help you edit and upload videos on a basic level.
In terms of capturing the video from your gameplay, there are a few options and I tried a couple of methods before finding the fastest one for me. First, you can capture the entire game and upload it to YouTube. As you’ve said, you can record up to sixty minutes of gameplay, which is plenty of time to record a full game. The problem with this, for me, was that I was left with a huge block of video that included loading screens, pauses and so on. It was too much trouble to go along and edit it all and the video was pretty long and large in size. So I didn’t do that.

My next attempt, I decided to go and change the max length of each clip to 10 minutes and capture the game in half inning segments. To do this, you simply hold the share button at the end of each half inning and select save gameplay recording. I then used capture gallery to trim the clips as needed and ShareFactory to blend them together into a longer video that showed the full game in the correct sequence. I’m extremely amateur in my work, so if I can do this, anyone can. Should you care to, you can see the resulting video for an idea of what I’m talking about here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNG_9-vzHxc

So I was reasonably happy with the end result and running the clips together in ShareFactory was a pretty quick process to say I had no real experience doing any of this previously. I then decided to play a RS game using only silver cards and record the game in the same manner, using ShareFactory and so on. This is where I ran into another issue. The game wouldn’t end. It went on for 15 innings, in fact. Predictably, this left me with a lot of clips. Trouble is, in a 15 inning game that remains tied and refuses to end, a lot of those clips show absolutely nothing of value, just lineouts and so on. Run together, they were almost 90 minutes long and showed little action worth watching. Using the trim feature in capture gallery to prepare the clips again (You can do this in ShareFactory, but I’m more used to doing it this way, so I trimmed first) I tried to grab some highlights from the long, drawn out game of little action and made a new set of clips. It was a longer process than simply running together the clips of each half inning in sequence, but it still probably only took around half an hour to forty five minutes and I managed to get the video down to just over ten minutes from eighty seven originally. Again, should you care to, you can view the result here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYdc1BxSp-w

I’m not the best with these things, but even a clumsy amateur like myself was able to work out what to do to make a basic video or two like this, ShareFactory is pretty intuitive and easy to use as well. It was something to do and a change from my usual routine, it passed the time, but didn’t take up so much time it got annoying and my buddy said he enjoyed watching the game, so I guess it went as intended. Try it out and see how you get on, you’ll probably find a better easier way of doing things in time, but that was my method.

@urbanassault84 said in Wow!:

When you see it drop that low; do you run back-to-back speed tests?

I noticed the orher day that I had HORRIBLE lag. Ran a Network test and it came back at 50-60mbps.

I turned off the Network Connection then ran it again. Jumped up to 280-290.

I run a few tests, and it’ll display 60~mbps result. So I’ve been keeping my game time early in the day, or late AF at night to avoid losing due to lag.

What do you mean, “turned off the network connection.”

Not at my console right now but there is an option in Settings where you can turn on/turn off Network Connection (pretty much your internet connection) by checking/unchecking a box.

@nymets1987 said in Hmmmm.:

That’s why not sure I want to even think about adding Percival to pen with 3 pitches

Percival had four pitches last year and still sucked.

@DIRTY__SHAWNCHEZ said in New Event is Live:

Thanks all. Just something to lighten the mood and have some fun

Well played Shawnchez... Well played...

For $40? Double dailies are nice but I feel like a lot of the value is already lost by this point.

@LankyRyan said in Couple questions about gameplansa.:

If it were me, in order, I would go:

Moments ➡️ Conquest ➡️ Showdown

MTO takes a long time.

The reason that I was thinking of MTO is that I can get at least 2 cards per team (Gold Prospect abd Diamond FOTF) to field my reg team orobably faster than doing Moments and Conquest (other than the Diamond Player Moments).

Also, with Showdown; it's going to cost me stubs; unless I get some good runs going.

I've been trying the 1st Inning one and out of 5 attempts; I've made it to the final challenge once. Lost by 1 run.
