Thank you for the communication. This whole bot deterrence/removal has been extremely frustrating. I hope it's going to be worth all this frustration

Yeah, they get 2 strikes on me with dotted fringe edge strikes and then forget where the strike zone is for three pitches and then come back with another dotted fringe edge strike.

Hey SDS I know 25 is dead and buried but this thread has to go with it. This is sickening and an embarrassment. Bury this thread never to be seen or heard from again. PLEASE!!!!!!!

@a761506_MLBTS your soft and so is your kid

Bro, uncalled for.. Everybody has there own way of raising their children. I respect the OP's feeling once having kids that age and on other hand I can respect the fact he can turn the jukebox off. To insult him and his kid is uncalled for. Try raising preteens and teenagers there is nothing soft about that.

Some these defensive plays the cpu is making are freaking unreal ridiculous. Outfielders with 25 speed and 50 fielding sprinting towards the left field line from being shifted towards right field diving and making the catch in foul territory in left field is extremely annoying. All in all the cpu I find is pretty easy and gameplay is definitely better. The dots are also annoying I don't even swing at them. If its a strikeout oh well move on to the next batter.

Excruciatingly slow, especially putting in buy and sell orders.

Dd is a card collecting mode mainly to bring those cards into online play. If you are unwilling to play online you really cannot complain about the inning path. I would even go as far as to say dd is an online mode first. If anything they have catered to offline mode players more the past two years.

Well, respectfully, if online play wasn't a toxic cesspool mess, with the cheating, servers, toxic players and everything else that has been mentioned in previous threads I would 100% agree with you but because of all those aforementioned issues I 100% disagree with you.

I read a lot of topics game is trash, servers are trash etc., etc. I don't get it, some people act as if this game should be perfect. One thing to remember the people who created this game aren't perfect, nobody is perfect in this world, so that means unperfect people make unperfect games with flaws, and quirks. Can online play be frustrating, yes it can be but I can go on a 4-5 game losing streak with my players bats that are no different than a wet noodle to winning 4-5 games in a row hitting perfect perfect homeruns. You win some you lose some you go on to play the next game. This isn't real life it's a video game.

TBH, I think SDS has done good job with content this year. The play it back mini season is an amazing grind. Keep cycling it, it's basically infinity stubs. A good way to complete collections, to which I have read people complaining that they can't complete collections because it's too expensive
So SDS is trying help everyone out with that. It doesn't seem to me that they are all that money hungry if they are giving you a way to earn as many stubs as you would want. Play the game, have fun and remember no team has ever gone 162-0 in baseball why should we expect to that in this game. And if people did then they would be complaining it's to much like an arcade.

One last thing the wet noodle bat some of the best players in baseball go through slumps like they're swinging a wet noodle. Why not it be the same in a baseball video game that's supposed to simulate real life? Has to be more frustrating for a ballplayer going through that in real life. I reckon it could be just as frustrating if someone dumps hundreds or thousands of dollars of real money in this game. Is that SDS's fault for the buyers remorse?

I am actually believing that they increased the difficulty offline too. You have cpu pitchers on rookie and veteran on play it back mini seasons painting corners and also pitchers that can't find the zone.

Yeah, I agree. Gameplay sucks, I hope '26 will be better, but I would be a fool to hold.my breath on that. Graphics people I get what you are saying but I can live without the graphics it's the gameplay I can not. I mean I score 25 runs in a mini season game and the very next game it's a struggle to score 2 runs and eek out 4 hits but the cpu pitcher throws 10 straight outside the zone and plunks me 3 times, with perfect perfect fly outs to the warning track to centerfield with Finest Schwarber, Raleigh and '26 cover Judge. Inconsistent bad gameplay. Hopefully they are going to do what they say are they going to do and fix the it. Everything else is immaterial to me.

you ppl really need to take a break from gaming and get out and see the sun

Says the one who has the handle luvmyxbox

Welp, I can kiss LS collection goodbye. I had a glimmer of hope now it's to far out of reach for me unless I am lucky enough to pull his card. Haven't locked anyone in so here I come Marte, Rameriz, Tatis

This program is a horrible, manipulative thing to do SDS. I am not going to spend any money nor play anymore than what I am already playing. Seriously, if I want Acuna that bad I'll buy him I really don't need the 75k in stubs to jump through FOMO $hit show of a program . I am going to play the way I want to whether they like it or not. I'll be damned if my time is going to be manipulated like that.

We are back in business

@Manu__SDS_MLBTS

As you can read the frustrating posts from the community that the newsst changes that were made are extremely unpopular. At this point I personally would much rather battle the bots then what we have now. It feels like you all are putting on a plethora of band aids to a hemorrhage to the jugular.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN

Awesome work! I actually come here first to get any breaking news on free agency and trades. I also like the commentary, it's a nice touch!

I personally I got lost in that run on paragraph and still haven't found my way out of it.

That is my whole issue with these restrictions, if they actually worked consistently day in and day out, I would be okay with them but instead the restrictions are not working consistently. It's treating honestly people who flip as if they are bots without consistently taking out the bots. The ends do not justify the means. @manu__sds_mlbts

Market is good but limiting to 4 sell/buy orders before the timeout is a bit oppressive. When it was set to ten and then a timeout that was a reasonable compromise. I'm sorry that I am being hypercritical but its like you all are throwing darts at a dart board blindfolded only aiming for the bullseye and in the process the darts are going intto your player bases eyeballs.

My suggestion go after the Live series collection first. It'll be cheaper. Plus the Beltran rakes! Will probably continue to do so until the end
