Not a Dodgers fan, but Mookie is a beast. Four hit night. If they lose, it won't be because of him.

It's fun getting Trout out of a pack. I've done it several times this year and still get a buzz every time.

Please SDS, please stop with timed innings programs. Even with Quad XP, there is very little chance of me making it to the bosses.

This will be the third one in a row I've missed out on.

Can you just stop putting a time limit on everything, please.

I know I will get swamped with, "it's so easy to get there", but it's actually not if you have a number of commitments and not a lot of time to play.

I know it won't matter to anyone, but I'm seriously considering making this my last version of the show. My time is my time, SDS, and it is valuable to me. I'm sick being timed and made to feel rushed on something that should actually just be for enjoyment.

What would be the point of playing the game if you got everything for nothing?

Once again, if your time is not valuable to you, that's fine. Having seen what's on the other side, I value it very differently. Time is all we have.

As for having something for nothing, what is it to you if they extend the innings and let you grind them at your leisure? It's still time, but at my choosing. I don't want it for nothing, I want it when I can do it. Your argument is quite moronic, and completely baseless.

I mean the cards are available in the auction house…complete whatever program you want and sell the reward to buy whatever player you missed.

Your entire first post did have a whining/protesting tone to it like you are being cheated.

Nope, that was not the intention and I apologise if that is how it came across. I simply would like the option to grind inning bosses at my leisure, not on SDS's clock. I'd like it set up like the team affinity, where you can pick and choose and work towards what you want, or the player programs.

I don't want anything for free. I just want to be able to achieve it in my time. If people want to complete it quicker, that's fine too. They can make more money flipping I guess.

LOL at all the people with they are easy to obtain. I have had time this week to play 4 conquest games, literally. If your time is not valuable to you, that's your business. Time is the only thing that has true value.

As for the clowns indicating that I want things for free, I don't. I want to be able to grind for them in my time, not yours.

It would probably be best for you, if this were your last show. You obviously don't have the time for this type of game, and there are plenty of others out there, where you don't have to really invest any time into it.

Wow, that's not elitist at all. lol

But you're probably right. If your time isn't that valuable to you that you can be guided by a game timeline, that's fine I guess. Take it from someone that actually died and was brought back, it's not. After eight years of playing, this game might not be for me anymore.

How many innings programs are there going to be?

From memory, there were eleven last year. Might have been twelve. I seriously can't remember.

Please SDS, please stop with timed innings programs. Even with Quad XP, there is very little chance of me making it to the bosses.

Edit: It has been pointed out to me that this might come across as a bit whiny and that I have a sense of being cheated. I will clarify; I would simply like to be able to grind for the bosses in my time, not SDS's time, much like Team Affintiy, where you can pick and choose what you work towards at any given time.

I have both nex gen systems and the game plays better on the Series X in my opinion. The only issue I ever have is throwing a splitter with PP. If I'm using a pitcher with a splitter I just use pure analog for the game. The Series X controller is absolutely superior to the ps5 in almost every way. The sticks are more crisp and fluid feeling by far. The input lag seems better although its hard to notice if you're facing a pitcher with lower velocity. And to me the PS5 controllers feel really cheap in comparison. I even recommend picking up an elite series 2 controller if you have the extra income. They are a game changer that takes it even further. The input lag is almost non existent. Maybe it comes down to preference for most people but there's a pretty noticable difference between the PS5 and Series X and their controllers.

How do you use pin point pitching? I seriously have so much trouble with it on the Xbox. It's ridiculous how much easier it is on the Ps5. If I could take the reaction of the Xbox X controller for batting and the control of the pin point pitching from the ps5, I'd be a happy man.

WAR is a measurement of data in a particular time frame and against particular competition. I'm not disparaging Ruth, absolute legend, but he would not be producing those numbers today like he was back then. Maybe if he knew how to train, employed proper nutrition and conditioning, he would post decent numbers in today's league, but not the 1920's version of him.

Lets point out the obvious here, the competition is different. No colour barriers were broken in Ruth's time, players didn't know about the things I mentioned above, and if they did, they didn't put much stock in it. The depth today is far superior to then, the competition is broader, diverse and incredibly skilled and physically conditioned in most cases. It's simply a lager pool of talent to choose from, and hence, far more skilled because if it.

To belittle what Ohtani is doing this year, or compare him to Ruth, is mind boggling to say the least. If I had the choice of using a time machine and grabbing Babe Ruth, as is from the 1920's as he was, and make a choice between him and Ohtani in this day's league, I would take Ohtani every day.

You would be a fool to say otherwise.

I've actually had really amazing luck this year, Pulled 2 Trouts, Cole x2 once when he was going for 150k, amd last inning for 70k, Vlad Jr All Star 2 times, Pete Alonso HRD, but tonight might be my luckiest.

I had 150k and nothing to spend on so i decided why not take a chance at the headliner and double my stubs (bad idea normally) however this time on my 3rd pack I get a diamond, i go to see who it is and to my complete shock i see red lights. Ha finally pulled my 3 headliner this year (the other 2 beign Pedro and Salmon) and it's a Andrew Miller going for 100k.

They're doing red lights now? Nice pull, Andrew Miller looks like a solid card.

Strasbourg comes out with red lights as well. I've pulled him from a standard pack. I've actually pulled more Headliners out of standard packs than actual Headliner packs tbh.

I've pulled Acuna three times, DeGrom three times and Trout five times (three in the space of three days). I've had a pretty good run. Oh, and I pulled All Star Guerrero the other day, too.

I have stayed away from playing people online almost all season so far, for the reasons that I am sick and tired of the childish game play of so many people you play now. Not many want to play a straight up game anymore without the holding R2, bunt dancing, extended time outs, etc. What I have noticed now is that whenever I am playing someone that has xbox, (I have PS4), I don't care how far out or where I pitch any place any speed, they are always able to make crushing contact. Don't notice it when playing other PS players and no idea if the PS players are on 4 or 5. Just sick of the way this game plays anymore, with the base runners going back to previous bases instead of advancing on hit balls, lag of the players starting to move, etc.

I have both systems and I can tell you that the Xbox X controller is the real deal. I feel like I'm swinging a bat underwater on the PS5 compared to the Xbox. Never had trouble turning on a fastball on the Xbox. I think it is because the controller itself has some sort of Input lag reduction built in. Even wireless, it shits all over the PS5 controller when swinging the bat.

As with most things though, there is a downside. Pinpoint pitching is far more difficult to do on the Xbox and the the sticks themselves are uber sensitive. Sometimes that makes getting the PCI harder to get on the ball because you over correct.

You're not imagining it, it is far easier to get to a ball of any speed on the Xbox, and I think it all comes down to the controller.

Turn dynamic difficulty off, go into your gameplay settings and simply change it all to All star. I'm assuming this is offline.

Hi all, I thought I would share my experiences between both consoles and the pros and the cons between the two.

First off, let me start by saying that I started on the Old Xbox for this years game and that I have been playing MLBTS since 14 on PlayStation. I play online occasionally, but not as much as most of the guys I know well on here.

So, I started on the old Xbox (One, I think). Nothing but frame rate issues and almost unplayable. For those that are playing on the old XBox hardware, I salute you. I am unsure of what it plays like on the PS4. I simply went with the Xbox because I knew I was getting the series x before a PS5.

The XBox series X is amazing, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The lack of lag through that new controller is simply unparalleled, even unplugged. The colour is it produces on my monitors and TV's is simply amazing. And, more importantly, MLBTS 21 plays sensationally on it. If I were to say that there is a huge difference between the two, it would actually come down to the controllers themselves.

The Xbox has the most amazing response time I've ever felt from a controller; input lag is nonexistent. I can turn on those fastballs much easier with this controller than I could with the old PS4 Pro, and not much has changed. The PS5 feels like it is stuck in the mud when I swing at a pitch compared to the xbox. Where the PS5 shines, though, is in the accuracy of the actual sticks themselves. I could not get PinPoint Pitching down at all on the XBox, but on the PS5, it is as easy as it gets. I actually did not consider how two different controllers could make a game feel so different. PCI placement is far more accurate on the PS5, over the XBox.

Would I suggest one over the other? Well, if you have great control of your sticks and you want a better response time, go for the Xbox. If you want more accuracy with your pitching and PCI placement, but have to speed your bat up, then I would say the PS5.

Either way, when it comes to this particular game, there are pros and cons, and nearly all of them revolve around the controllers themselves. The games looks the same, although I would give the edge to the Xbox for colour and overall picture quality, but both are great.

Anyway, I thought I would post this just in case anyone was curious about any differences between the two.

One other area that the PS5 separates itself is in the sound department. I play with high quality headphones, and that crack of a perfect hit is amazing.

I've gotten a bit bored just grinding, but I do like the TA programs. I've started playing Conquest again. I just haven't felt as engaged this year.

Godot. Most sophisticated joke on this forum ever.

And that's why most won't get it. I could be wrong, but I don't think Beckett is high on a lot of people's reading list. Then again, neither is the actual act of reading, tbh.

The only way I could see them losing value is if they go down in price.
