@TripleH-4481 said in The REAL state of this game:
The tribalism on these forums is ridiculous. Anytime anyone brings up a valid negative point on the game the same 5 guys or so come to SDS’s defense. If you don’t like what they have to say then ignore it or move on. You don’t need to jump in like the avengers to save the day for SDS.
This fanboy and hater mentality is really not helpful at all. At the end of the day it is all just a matter of opinion. Just because your opinion may be the majority opinion doesn't mean it becomes an objective fact.
This is an open forum. If you post a topic about disliking something then there is a good chance that someone will disagree. But, the reverse is also true. You can't post on an open forum like this and expect it to just be an echo chamber, where everyone falls in line with your opinion and everyone who does not just stays quiet.

Smart advice: If they put out packs —> You do not have to buy them, nobody forces you ..
I am tired of you fanboy Yoshi -- IF you want to have your lips firmly puckered on SDS's backside that is fine but I have no problem calling you out for it every time you say something that makes you look like a SDS lackey
Just curious, how does him saying you don't have to buy the pack have anything to do with fanboyism?
If you don't like the guy then fine but that is a leap. I don't like the packs at all and refuse to buy them because he is right, nobody forces you.

Oh look, another Yankees card. Can't release a batch of cards without at least including one Yankee. Luckily I don't care about any of the players enough to buy a pack (or more directly the player)

@TrevNation7187 said in SDS please apologize and fix your game:
@yankblan you are defending SDS when he earned 200k stubs and lost them and they are not giving them back? After they responded to my ticket and did nothing? What logic is that
That's not defending SDS. It's common sense.
If he submitted a ticket and they closed the ticket but the problem is not fixed then by all means submit another one at that point.
If he submitted four tickets because their response was not quick enough then Yankblan is right. It serves no purpose. It does not speed up the response time and screws other players who have submitted tickets that are stuck behind his 4 duplicate tickets in the queue.
Sure one or two people doing that is not that detrimental but if you figure that there are probably 100s of people doing the same thing then all of a sudden there are 400-500 (or more) duplicate tickets clogging up the queue that they have to deal with.
I have said this before. A support person working an 8 hour shift (not counting breaks and lunches) will only be able to process 96 tickets in a shift if by some miracle they can get them all resolved and closed in 5 minutes each. That ain't happening though so the number is considerably less.

@Zatimarri said in So That's Our Compensation?:
Has anyone even pulled 75k or 1 million stubs in the pack yet?
I think they said on their last stream that one person had pulled it. Of course there are those who will choose not to believe them.
BTW, Did they actually give a Millionaire pack as compensation? I know there was the brief window when it was available for free on the flash sale. But actual compensation is not a given an actual 1 hour window to collect.

@bostondirtdog21 said in Wait, that's it?:
One supercharge player? No one else? Nothing for the Hank Aaron Anniversary?
I know there is nothing on the schedule but seriously you'd think they'd at least try.
While I think a Hank Aaron tribute of some kind would have been nice the Supercharge thing is different. They don't supercharge players just to supercharge players.
They have some set of criteria that the player has to achieve in order to be supercharged. Opening day is the only time they just choose players who performed well and supercharge them. I don't know if it has changed but 2 HRs in a game was not enough, the player needed to hit 3.
-
It's been that way for years and years. The only explanation is that SDS would rather you up the difficulty and hit a more reasonable number of homeruns.
I don't agree with them. If people want to play on beginner and hit 255 plus homeruns then what is the big deal.

@warrior-num-6 said in The Show Cover Curse?:
@Mazter-Baitur The year Tatis Jr. was on cover he was suspended the whole year!
Incorrect. Tatis was on the cover of MLB The Show 21. He was suspended in Aug of '22.

@fubar2k7 said in Yankees legends:
Do we need to start this again? Can’t we just search the forum for the previous posts about the number of Hall of Fame players they have compared to everyone else?
Hall of Famers (these numbers also include executives and managers, of which the yankees have 7)
- Yankees - 27
- New York/San Frnacisco Giants - 25
- Cardinals - 18
- Brooklyn/LA Dodgers - 16
- Cubs -14
Flashbacks and Legends so far this year
- Yankees - 23
- Giants - 11
- Cardinals - 10
- Dodgers - 17
- Cubs - 10
A few other teams
- Mets - 12
- Reds - 13
- Pirates - 15
So we can assume it is not strictly based on Hall Of Fame members. Sure that factors in but it is not the only consideration.
Nobody argues that the Yankees deserve the most based on their history. And we realize that the Jeter Storyline gave them a head start this year. Some of us just believe that SDS goes a little too overboard with certain teams at the expense of others.
I mean come on, could they not come up with another Easter pack player for another team other than NYY Luke Voit?

@x814xmafia said in Lou Brock card?:
@virusts said in Lou Brock card?:
Didn't SDS say that the CPU mini season teams are based on real player teams in DD. This shows that they are absolutely not as all three cards were or are unobtainable at the moment (Aurilla before he was added to the season 1 collection).
Dev kit teams. Dev kit has all the cards. They just don't use them online. ????
The said that last year. I am not sure if they mentioned it at all this year in the streams.

@Skarmaen said in True/False - Can’t complete sets without buying packs now?:
You can get the lightning player(s) just by doing the small programs each week.
The season collections however will require cards that are only available in packs. Those packs cannot be earned at present but may end up in programs or conquest maps at some point. I'd be certain they would in any other year but '24 is all about monetization thus far.
I feel this was true for some of the early seasons last year? Its still not certain thats the case this year, we don't know if the light content slate will continue or not (but it probably will)
Either way, at the current pace it should be pretty easy to get the three choice packs as NMS provided you play enough to complete the main track. Theres a decent chunk of stubs at the end that can help you grab cheap cards in the shop if you still need.
Look at the Season Awards Collection.
First it says:
"Collect Season Awards program players each week to earn Lightning Season Awards players coming after Drop 4 and Drop 8."
I highlighted Program Players because it is relevant. Also when you look at the collection the only two cards available to collect are Garrett Crochet (week 1) and Micael Comforto (Week 2), which were the final awards of each program. None of the pack cards are even an option in that collection right now.

@Dolenz said in Program XP:
I have not even got to the first Captain pack at 160K yet.
They seem to be a little stingy with reward XP so far. I assume that may change some if they find that many people are falling behind their intended pace. They may also start upping it when the Boss packs start getting reached by the first players because at that point there is little reason to slow people down anymore.
I hope your right because at the pace I'm going I don't think I'll even get the first boss. I'm at 259,000 xp (only play offline) and I figure you have to average about 96,000 xp a week to get all 3 bosses'.
I think the team knows that if too many people find themselves falling short of even the first boss pack then they are at a huge risk of players just giving up on the game and not even attempting future seasons. They don't want that.
Even in past years most of the Double XP periods came towards the end of the season and not in the first half.

It is, at least in my opinion, a tough balancing act that SDS has to pull off.
Put in too little content and the players who put huge hours into the game consume it all very quickly.
Put in too much and those who play more casually will get overwhelmed and feel like they have no chance.Personally, I have not played a single mini seasons game and I still have 5 of the 6 TA divisions to complete, although I don't try very hard to complete them because I don't do collections so I don't need every card.
-
Cover player is someone that they think may draw eyeballs to the product, either on a store or a digital shelf.
Sometimes the player is deserving (Judge, Harper, Ohtani) and sometimes they are just the latest flash in the pan (Puig and probably Chisholm Jr)
-
Not that I a aware of. I think there may be cards on mini seasons CPU teams that we can't earn yet. We probably will be able to at some point but not yet.
-
My guess is that they are keeping an eye on where the majority of players are at on the XP path and that if they see that too many people are falling behind they will have more double XP Periods and possibly up the XP rewards on programs and other content.
They know, or should know, that if the target is unreachable for many that those people will most likely just stop playing altogether and they do not want that.

@StickyFingersCA said in Is Jung Hoo Lee coming?:
Not there yet
Are you talking about franchise? He already has two cards in DD.
In franchise he will not show up if you have already started your franchise before the roster update. The roster is locked when you start the franchise.

Does anyone else here play on xbox x and ps5 both? Just wondering if you are having problems. I admit i havent read through this thread but I havent seen anyone but myself having the kind of trouble im having. Thanks
I have both but do not play on both. Prior to this year I was entirely a PS5 guy but this year I went with a games pass version.
2024 is the worst iteration since I started playing in 2016
