@iBonafideScrub__PSN I believe 20's nickname was MLB The Lineout. I think it was the first game where lineouts really got peoples attention

Also I stayed up way later and used 20 energy drinks to do it, it's bed time

How do you sleep after 20 energy drinks? 😬

Wow typo lol, 2 energy drinks

Monster? Red Bull? Bang? What’s your drug of choice?

Used to be full throttle, but that's hard to find now
so Blue red bull

That happens to me as well. Think it’s a connection issue but to your point it doesn’t last all game and is unpredictable when it happens. Those balls go way, way high for me.

Lots of reports of major server issues tonight.

Very odd we couldn’t even get topps now this week

@beanball0571_PSN said in Musing about difficulties in ranked seasons:

Here is what SDS needs to do, have a casual ranked that is allstar only. Then you have competitive that stars on HOF and proceeds to legend. The rewards in allstar will be a 95-97, you want the 99 you go to competitive.

They already have a "casual" play option.

What they need to do, is leave it as is. Players can already basically choose the difficulty they want to play on by using the slider bar in the match up screen. If you only want to play on HOF/Legend, move it all the way to the right. If you want to take your time and work your way up, move it all the way to the left or allow the game to choose.

@eatyum_PSN said in Some stuff I'm slowly realizing:

I love to grind, I love to chase after things, I need goals to keep me entertained. Now I don't think the gameplay itself is awful, but it's not enough to keep me playing like I used to. Some people love the new reward structure, some don't.

I'm in the camp of I like the attempt of something different, but when they pulled the line, "We noticed people were finishing the ws program and selling the rewards to use the stubs elsewhere", I get it, that was happening and you want to reward players who make it to WS by getting to 900 but it's obviously between the lines to was 'well they didn't need to buy stubs they were getting it from rewards".

I still play, I don't think I'll ever quit, but my days don't consist of 5-7 hours on my day off playing mlbts anymore

I feel the same exact way. I don't play nearly as much as I have in prior years. I currently only have 1 99 starting pitcher, Gibson, and won't be able to use him in 3 weeks since my wildcard will be Chipper. I still play but don't really touch it on the weekdays much and only play a few hours on the weekends now.

I am pretty close to the first Series 2 collection reward. Wright was one of my favorite players of all time, but I really need a pitcher. So, I will probably take Big Unit and hope I get another 70 series 2 players over the next 3 weeks to get Wright. Lost out on Pedro in Series 1 because I came nowhere near getting the 3rd collection reward (Babe and Chipper are 2 of my favorite hitters in game all time)

It really was an ugly game.

All I take from this post is that Helton can do anything.

He only cost him 2 runs, i would call that a win for sure. I may even try Helton at catcher now lol.

@eatyum_PSN said in Rod Carew is one of my favorites ever year:

I know most people look at him and go meh, but I'm so excited for him to drop today

Same, always a big fan of his cards.

@SuntLacrimae50_MLBTS said in I can finally rest.:

Not judging, cuz I SUCK, but assuming no BR/WS banners/icons? You did say "purchasable."

No, don't have that, (br, I've made WS) that's why I specified with that word. Even if I did have those I still wouldn't have "the real" icon, so if I'm really hardcore I need to sign with a MLB team to

Would make sense. Get away from all the weaker engines for 2024 release. It’s time in my opinion.

@eatyum_PSN said in Lost a heartbreaker in BR:

First time ever getting to 10-0, alas it was not be as I was defeated 6-1. I will say my "skillz" have completely changed since getting some kontrolfreeks, idk why I was so stubborn about not trying them before.

Did you just get them recently? I’ve still never tried them. Do you feel your PCI placement is more consistent?

Yes I got them about a week ago, it feels like I have more reaction time tbh, I got the mid-rise ones and it lets me move around my pci without feeling like I have to keep it up top or get blown away by the fastball
