Cocaine is a helluva drug..

too expensive and the buzz definitely aint worth the expense

For me it's 91 Ty Cobb.
I got lucky with the flash sell packs so upgraded my team tremendously and now my starting lineup doesn't have anything lower than a 97. Cobb just consistently performs for me. Granted I gave on h2h and now just play the computer but I bought 99 Tony G as he had always been one of my favorites growing up but I had no luck with him hitting, in 13 games I had one hit where as Cobb is hitting near .500.

I can barely make it 2 innings, the pitching is so dagum slow it's ridiculous not to mention the fielding is horrendous. I've never had more fun playing against the computer than I have with this game. I love baseball, been reading box scores since '84, I creamed my jeans when Nintendo came out with "Baseball Stars", I quit xbox for this game and man online is horrible. I had more fun with r.b.i. baseball online. Now I am having a lot of fun playing franchise and "Road to the Show" in those aspects r.b.i. isn't even on the radar I just cannot get over the horrendous online play, I guess I'm complaining because I'd rather play a human than a computer but the gameplay is so poor online if you aren't a vet at this game you truly don't stand a chance and what makes me even more upset is sds charges money for people to think buying a certain player(s) will make them better...I want to smack the [censored] out of the creators of this game, online play is garbage and predatory its disgusting. I've played madden ultimate team for several years and know how bad ea as a company is but despite the dda that is obviously in the game at least online play didn't/doesnt feel like a completely different game than vs the computer. sorry for the rant thanks for reading if ya did ya I get it "call a waaaaambulance" this garbage just irritates the [censored] out of me for the simple reason they have "loot boxes" so to speak-buying stubs=loot box in my eyes, I can't imagine how much money sds has robbed from people because said people truly think if they spend $20 for 24k stubs to buy Tony Gwynn or whomever will make them better the online game play is such garbage it doesn't matter who you have so I guess long story short- how in the heck do you online players tolerate the garbage gameplay and if anyone says there's no difference from online and vs the computer you are blind or work for sds. thanks.

Go eat a hamburger ya dork!

only if you're buying

fair question I think- one that has been blocked and deleted before. sds studios runs this site and has pimple pricks on here making you think this is a cool game but that's my opinion-one that I haven't seen disproved.

Do online missions such as h2h wins still count towards past innings programs or just the one we are in right now. I just realized if I finish all the online missions I'll hit 300 for Larry Walker. Thanks!

I used Cubs and was offered Yelich for Kris Bryant, literally 3 days later I was offered Kris Bryant back for scraps. I also got Marcus Semien and DD Gregorias...Did a Braves march and got Marcus Semien, Kyle Schwarber and Liam Hendriks....I never "targeted" any of those players so it seems random.....lost the series with the cubs vs Tampa but as Braves Marcus simien hit a walk off homer in game 6 vs Houston to win it all so that was cool.

These type of posts are my favorite!! Madness is always the best read.. Keep at it OP. I didn’t start playing online in DD until 2018 and I know every year I’ve gotten much better.

right on, what year did you first play "the show"?

Anyone else watching games and shocked by horrible production quality?? I’m watching the Yankees vs Nationals on the MLB.tv app and they cannot figure out how to get replays to work. They’ve also been cutting to the wrong players or not doing a great job following the action. It’s just a mess.

I watched the tail end of the A’s vs. Angels today and they also seemed to have some hiccups (but nothing like the Yankees game). Has anyone else noticed this while watching your teams? Presumably the virus shouldn’t have this kind of effect, but this has been the worst produced telecast I’ve ever seen.

no offense but are you a millinieal or whatever the generation after them has become? how many times have you worked in a pandemic environment? they are thinking about things past their job, give em credit, at least we have something

Bless your heart.

lol I know right-late to the party... btw-this entire "pandemic" has become a way to weaken us as humans(no one works out at home anymore) weaken the economy, weaken our faith in one another and weaken ourselves. I'm in my 40s so I've met people who've met people who know people and Ive yet to meet anyone that's truly died of this "disease", it's a harsh flu that kills old people if you step back and see what's happening. China developed a drug to rid their country of old people- there are more "old" people in China than America has citizens. They were trying to euthanize the old and now our old are suffering. Those are the ones dying- turn off "news channels" and open your eyes, when you do you will be amazed at what you discover. we in America have been brainwashed since birth... ive had covid- got it in January, it was a bad 5 days afterwards my breathing isn't the same otherwise I'm still alive at 43, quit dodging it, get it overcome it and move on- NO ONE IS LIVING FOREVER YO.

@Ikasnu said in I think I'm might've started a Jose Abreu panic:

Just buy 10 Eric Davis for 470 stubs and you spend less than 5k. You spent over 6500.

I never said I was mathematically gifted lol- thanks man!

PS2 I think. I think I played it right from the start. But I always did offline franchises with Rosters from operation sports. I never messed with DD until 2018. Think I messed around with it in 2017, but didn’t really play it.

2018 was the first year really getting into DD, and I was absolutely terrible. 2019 I got better and was competitive. 2020, I have improved a ton.

I like with this game if you practice, you really do get better.

what is your version of "practice". I'm like a.i. (Allen Iverson)when it comes to practice though he didn't need it as much as I obviously do. To give you an idea how bad I am right now, it took me eleven innings to finish a 3 inning conquest game,it was veteran level, I won 1-0, pitching I can get away with for awhile but hitting, man my timing is so bad it has me questioning myself. I've never felt so bad at baseball in all my life. True story, in 4th grade I could tell you what field I was hitting it to, I understood the timing and positioning even then, I was 9, I'm 43 now and am starting to understand how kids who couldn't do in real life must have and must now feel.I'm having a hard time with the patience aspect being its a computer game so I'm either getting lucky with a pitch or I'm trying patience and like a get so excited when I see a good pitch I'm like a kid seeing a woman for the first time and get too excited. I'm assuming doing batting practice in this game is my answer, my question is how should I practice? Just pick one pitcher set a level and spend several minutes on that pitcher, alternate pitchers? what pitchers are best? As someone who is tee ball level right now where should I begin? Quitting is easy so I enjoy this too much to do so. Thanks- you said you enjoyed the ramble, I gave ya more.

is there a thread that lists all the ways you can earn points for the "innings" program or can someone please list, thanks.
I'm extremely new and rather clueless to all aspects of DD right now. I don't play online and I've completed everything I can for the program so far that isn't online minus showdown but I can't make it thru without failing. So I was hoping RTTS or maybe March to October might give me some. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
