@urbanphilosophy_XBL it was a weekend classic reward for wins within the first 6 games played

I’m sure there will be a person in this chat saying the copy and paste line of “it’s because it’s a power creek this year and people arnt used to not having 99s” haha

I personally think this is one of the best modes. Quick missions objectives arnt very hard but rewards are worth the grind. I just wish they would have more lineup centric quests, like certain overall limit, or right handed batters only, ext. they also could just have randomly generated maps that are a bit bigger then what they have now and that earn you packs, doesn’t always need to be when a new program drops and it’s just players from that program. Just think this mode could be so much more than it is. But that’s my humble opinion

@aaronjw76_MLBTS Aaron judges price will be at the highest. Not the highest of live cards.

The guys got 6hrs and 17rbis and will be the AL player of the month. I would sell right before the “roster update” because if he keeps this up his price will skyrocket. But he’s already pretty maxed out in hitting so at an update he will probably become a 92 live series. So before that update his price will be the highest

I’d have to Agree with pretty much everything you’ve said my biggest thing is also the exit below and consistency of what it should be and what an out should be. I understand everyone’s argument consistently is going to be power creep, power creep, power creep. You don’t have 99 That’s why you can’t hit the ball if this is supposed to be a baseball Sim and I use SIM very loosely here why is it that legitimate baseball players that we have live series cards of can’t duplicate hits they would get in real life using the same exit velo that they can produce in real life. Saying that you need to have 99s with 125 power 125 contact in order to get hits and not have balls dying in the outfield is kind of a pathetic argument.

CPU takes the perfect jump and angle always

I love this game, I’m just a huge sports fan so I always find myself buying it every year to fill in my nights when I get free time. I do a lot of grinding of programs and once and awhile live series collection stuff but I’m by no means a spend money more then my pre order grinder. I’m no “top 200” player but I make my way to championship every year and threaten and get to World Series every once and awhile. That being said this is my own personal review of DD this year and gameplay as a whole. I think graphics wise could it be better? Yes. Is it bad? Absolutely not. I’ve been playing this since the days of MLB 06 and before “triple play baseball” so I’ve watched the transformation of graphics from year to year system to system and I think they are great. Gameplay wise I do enjoy the new reaction fielding mechanics makes you need to play decent fielders so people can’t just god squad terrible players in secondary positions but they play like gold glovers like years passed. Pitching is pitching, i think people are getting so good with zone hitting that pitching is more of a survive, hunt corners and pray you don’t hang a pitch but overall pitching is as good as you can really make it. Hitting is where I’ve had my biggest issues. Everyone’s argument is that we are using lower skilled cards cause it’s the first time we have had a power creep so people aren’t used to not hitting HRS constantly. I tend to agree with this but I think it still comes down to the inconsistency. I preferences this in another post but my example which is more then one time but I was using a base Buxton which I had at a level 4 parallel so a very solid power hitter. I’m playing someone and they throw a FB down the middle and I was sitting on it square it up get perfect perfect so it’s time so celebrate the hr…. Nope just a lazy fly ball to the left center field wall at a minor league park that i picked end up losing the game even got a message from the person I played laughing cause they thought it was a auto Hr as well. Fast forward to the next game, same batter same pitcher same ballpark. Fastball down the middle perfect perfect… 472ft no doubt. So this is my biggest problem, how is it less then 400 one game and 472 next with 99.9999% variables the same. And for people saying launch angle I’m pretty sure they were almost identical as well. Regardless of the argument this happens far to regular it’s a coin flip as to what the result is. I understand not every perfect perfect is a hr our an auto hit but the issue is why are the results so different when everything is presented the same. It’s hard to play online a lot because I find I’ll be hunting a pitch like a slider down away and I get it get perfect perfect and it’s a lazy fly our or just a line out and ur like [censored] there goes my chance, needs to reward the person whose hurting a pitch and gets it and squares it more then it does. Thats really my biggest issue with hitting this year. Other then that I’ve loved played it’s a video game it’s not 100% real so unless it’s ur lively hood and your a streamer whose life and pay comes down to playing well then take a deep breath and just laugh off the bad stuff that happens. I find myself getting more pumped up this year when I grind my way back into a game and hit a walk off then I do when I lose a 4-3 game cause I missed a couple HRs that were perfect perfect. It’s easy to pick out every fine detail that’s wrong, but end of the day alot more is right then wrong with the game this year.

I agree that we are using lower skill cards early on so the hits will be nerfed to an extent. But I’ve played a solid amount of hours grinding, the inconsistency in general is the problem. Prime example using a base Buxton Card a lot of power squared up a fast ball down the middle perfect perfect against an online user I’m pumped up cause the balls flying I think it’s a perfect game tieing bomb, nope fly out to left center. Alright fast forward 1 game, exact same pitch exact same batter perfect perfect… 472ft HR. So my thing is how can one hit be 472ft and one be less then 400. That’s were the inconsistency for me lies.

I’ve been away on vacation and haven’t had a chance to play the game. So I watched twitch to see how it looked and played. Stopped watching cause it was burning watching every streamer rock a 99 team of WBC cards day 1 haha

@samguenther1987 said in Hot takes for the upcoming season?:

The Jays come storming out of the gate have 60 wins by the all star game and finish in first just ahead of the Yankees, the Rays come in 4th behind the Jays, Yankees and a up and coming Orioles team, the Red Sox finish a distant 5th.

Judge hits 45 home runs. Hows that for a hit take lol

Judge is going to fall off a cliff this year. The league will start testing for roids again, he won't get juiced baseballs, and he will give up once the yankees are 22-44.

His contract will be worse than pujols.

I think ur gonna see with the pitch clock and no shift thet his average will be over .300 and still will hit 40+ HRs if healthy. Haha love the roids testing line tho as if the dude who is 6’8 260 hasn’t been tested. Weird that the mlb has stopped testing tho, don’t let tatis know that.

So probably a stupid question but haven’t been able to play the game yet and when I haven’t been able to hear the people I’ve watched on twitch. So I’m curious are these WBC players that every single streamer already has that are 90+ in the game forever? Just seems like it be stupid to gift people 90+ rosters on day. But if it’s just a short time thing like what fifa did that’s cool.

It’s a fantasy team based game. Happens in almost every competitive based game. Ur gonna always play the best most OP players cause everyone wants to win. Play MUT for a few weeks and count how many times u play either Mike Vick, Lamar Jackson, or Mahomes at QB. Or play the exact lineup game after game. It sucks yes but at the same time no one wants to lose so they won’t put a worse pitcher in just because. Just buckle in and get used to it.

Haha can’t even get any information from this thread. Thought I’d watch a streamer see how the hitting was. Just so toxic, all they do is complain. So I’m sure a new patch will be out soon to keep the steamers happy. Meanwhile I’m watching and out of like swings on a ball 3 arnt squared and ball doesn’t have huge exit velo so it’s the games Fault. But doesn’t say a word when they hit an early ok HR. Streamers are the toxicity of the community.

Haha I think at this point he’s just trying to see how man responses he can get in his thread. Everything has been answered as perfect as it can be but he just keeps saying we are defending cheaters and blah blah can’t keep up with it all. He won’t be satisfied until one of the SDS guys gets on here and says “omg we are so sorry you got two losses u didn’t deserve, we are rectifying that. And while we are at it for your hardship you had to endur during these two losses here’s a 1 million stubs and a free mike trout” even then from what I’ve read he would find a way to like be mad about it.

Because some streamer convinced people it causes people to throw more balls. If anything just makes the person get caught off guard so they throw a ball by accident. That’s it tho it’s just for try Hards who worship streamers.

@Nats19Champions said in Online play has become a disaster:

It’s not just one game.

Haha it still a video game at the end of the day. Do you get paid to play it? If the answer is no then it’s ok. It sucks I know but still it’s a VIDEO GAME. We all feel the same as u but there’s nothing else to do. Maybe one day they will solve the problem but as of now u either sit there and wait it out and play Zero games until the other person quits or u say [censored] that sucks and move on. Trust me I’m as competitive as the next person but I remind myself daily that I’m not getting paid to play and it will be ok.

@Nats19Champions said in Online play has become a disaster:

Funny how you guys blame everyone except the actual cheaters.

You skipped my question earlier and who exactly is cheating? Are you saying the other guy made the freeze off happen? Everything you've talked about in this thread has been answered and you've been told why. As far as defending cheaters, no one is doing that at all,at least not from what I have read

Haha this kid just isn’t getting it. End of the day needs to realize it’s one freaking game that he lost. It sucks we get it. What do you want us all to do write a petition and get it signed by the entire community and sent to SDS to get you your win for a connection issue. We all understand and have been in ur shoes dude. No one cheated u experienced poor server issues. You didn’t want to wait which I wouldn’t blame you but the way the game works that gives u a loss. End of conversation end of thread. It sucks and u lost when u should have won. But guess what it’s a video game and ur still breathing. It’s ok.

To be honest you should feel lucky this is ur first time in years experiencing this. Haha

@Nats19Champions said in Online play has become a disaster:

No, I didn't "lose." I was winning handily. And you make it seem like I just turned the game off the moment it froze; I waited a FULL HOUR. Amazing that anyone would defend this garbage.

Haha he’s not defending anything. These so called freeze outs happen once and awhile. The game doesn’t take into account whose winning or losing. The game still thinks both players are connected despite the freeze. So which ever player decides to just say screw this and turn there game off or reset loses the game. Score has no merit. It’s really just a cheeky way for a person losing to snag a W because normally they have 0 life and will just leave there PS4 on that frozen screen for hours if not days until the other gives up. It sucks but that’s what happen. Been in ur shoes before.
