@Player99_MLBTS No, I’m saying he should have gone diamond. I love Baldwin as a player and invested in those two.
You should feel glad Olson did not get downgraded
-11 CLT
-4 CON R
+3 CON L
+2 POW R
-10 points to Offensive Attributes
But they also they gave him +23 ARM to keep him where he was at
Yeah it seems like it with Harper, because how can you judge arm with a 1B. but Harper is at .270 and on pace for 35+HR. and generally does well down the stretch.
Harper was actually a borderline case
CON R (+3)
Con L (-20)
POW R (+12)
POW L (-12)
CLT (+10)
So plus 15 in Vs R Attributes
But minus 32 in Vs L attributes
+10 in Contact
Jacob Wilson might have lost Diamond Status but they Jacked up his Fielding (+22) so that he stayed an 85
Wait, so 85 is the maximum overall for golds? Always thought it was 84.
84 is a gold
85 is a Diamond
Jacob Wilson got downgrades to
Con R (-2)
Con L (-7)
Vis (-1)
CLT (-5)
You would think that would have dropped him out of diamond but then they gave him
+22 to FLD
+10 to REAC R
+20 to REAC B
Out of the 65 Position players who got updates and ended up at an 80 OVR or above those are the only ones that got any fielding updates from what I see on the web page version of the Roster Update.
You gotta love Huge Arm Boosts for first basemen!
Only 20% of the players got any fielding or speed updates at all so it was not really the Fielding Roster Update that we have gotten in the past.
At the top it definitely seems like they cherry picked who would get those updates.
And he only got a +3 in the update, barely snuck his way into gold.
No fielding updates.
But remember they are waiting longer between updates so that they are beefier and feel more meaningful.

Thanks Joe.
They usually make a point to note the fielding upgrades ahead of time but I had not heard anything yet.
My realistic goal - Walker to mid to high Gold.
My unrealistic goal - +7 with fielding upgrades to reach 85
Really, only a +3 for Jordan Walker?
And there were no Fielding updates to speak of.
6 Guys went Diamond if I read the screen right - I hope you were invested in Pitching
Willson Contreras
Jhoan Duran
Dylan Cease
Chase Burns
Logan Gilbert
Dylan Lee

Who cares about the low fielding? This card is going in my DH slot just as soon as I save up the stubs!
As I found out yesterday. All you have to do is finish the AllStar Game program and you can get a no sell version for free
And my former professional experiences taught me how to engage difficult people and keep yourself in a good place personally.
Well you may be in a good place personally but with statements like this
I'm sure SDS appreciates your fan boy commentary, but I doubt you'll receive any check in the mail!
I question the effectiveness of your engagements.
I am good with the market bans and I swear I saw someone post that they got that.
If that was done and was punitive enough to dissuade others from exploiting in the future then we would have seen more than 1 post. Shoot, that one person could have been banned just like many others were in the app.
But you have to keep everyone involved
My Current Lineup
CF Willie McGee
LF Lou Brock
RF Lance Berkman
DH Jordan Walker
2B JJ Wetherholt
C Ivan Herrera
1B Ted Simmons
2B Terry Pendleton
SS Ozzie Smith
You give me an upgraded Stan Musial or a Good McGwire card then Herrera is the card removed from the lineup.
Without legends I would most likely be done which is why I harp on the imbalance between the teams. I figure there are fans out there like me for every team.
Although he was probably much cheaper to add and is currently a better card, McGee will not be replaced by Condon
I've been told that there will be some additional updates to attributes outside of the main hitting and pitching update, including Fielding, Strength, and Speed.
Thanks Joe.

Does that mean all of you that keep complaining and threatening to keave are finally going to leave?
Wishful thinking.
If you enjoy the new game great then have fun playing it.
I still don't get the live for the graphics as the few stadiums I have seen did not appeal to me. The grass is a flat green. The field with the infield all of dirt looks bad in my opinion.
It doesn't have, at least to my knowledge, any DD style mode. It does not have recognizable characters except those few who also played in the majors
The Show has lots of problems currently but new game wonthold the conversation long. It's currently shiny and new.
But for those who enjoy great! Play your heart out.
I'll be honest, I have 20 Jordan Walker cards. He should continue to get offensive upgrades and while he is still not an elite fielder he has greatly improved this year over his previous years
Usually the first update after the All star break is one that includes Fielding and Speed adjustments. But usually they have made a point to announce that fact. I have seen nor heard anything about that yet.
Are we getting those adjustments in the Roster Update today or is it something else that they have cut out so that, along with fewer updates, they don't have to work as hard and players have even less of an incentive to invest?
Once this is over, they need to start LOUDLY and PUBLICLY banning the folks that abused the WBC exploit. I’ll let SDS determine their definition of “abuse”. But, if it’s not LOUD and PUBLIC, my purchase next year will be on the table.
That's not going to happen at this stage. They hoped that their post on X saying that the would take action would satisfy those of us who are upset about it.
For many of us a single statement with no follow through was not enough.
I may not agree with many of their choices when it comes to the game but I can usually understand them. Their decision to ignore their terms and conditions and let exploiters get away with it with no repercussions is another matter entirely.
It's simply an invitation to all players to take advantage of the next glitch or bug they find.
That stinks but it is not global as I finished up 3 games of the All Star map about 15 minutes ago without issue
He's now on my theme team but I don't play competitively. Plus, I stuck him at DH
Why wasn't there a similar outrage when people were doing the RttS glitches in the past? You could make a lot selling all of that extra equipment especially if you got to the diamonds.
I don't remember the details of that one. Was it an actual glitch or just poor planning on SDS' part? Did it give you the equivalent of earning a 10 pack every minute to 2 minutes for hours on end?
Whether it is lack of rarity or lack of interest in the card Walker is down to 55K already
96 Ivan Herrera is a Base Round pack card and is around 11KIn addition to the guaranteed rare round pack in the program, there are 2 more of them in the predictions exchange- 1 for getting 3 right and the other for all 4.
I of course got none of them right so I got a ballin a 5 pack bundle an all star pack and an HRD pack, but pulled the rare round in the HRD pack, so I managed a small victory anyway.
Well, believe it or not, the one time I was not a homer and chose against a Cardinal. I got 0 predictions right.
