    Shameful ripoff.
  • evanchance_PSNE evanchance_PSN

    You willingly spent $200, nobody forced you to buy in. On your own, you gave $200 of your own money.

    It's almost like real life and I'm an avid baseball card collector, however I don't blame Topps if I don't end up with a "hot box" or don't pull the high end auto Trout.

    I've bought packs from the shop and didn't pull diamonds and I didn't blame SDS.

    This is on you...maybe make smarter decisions with how you spend and quit blaming someone else, or something else. All you.

    I am beginning to believe this sense of entitlement theory that's spreading like poison ivy in this forum.


  • Update 1.10 Discussion
  • evanchance_PSNE evanchance_PSN

    Strictly Off-line Player:

    Runners not sliding into bag, casual jog within 2-3 steps and tagged out; fielders moving slow motion on grounders and fly balls; no sense of urgency on throws after fielding; outfielders throwing home are always off target (unlike CPU); CPU 0 speed is faster than player 43 speed; hitting timing for player is still off; pitching is still off kilter with excellent release a [censored]-shoot; CPU called strikes on the black, none for player; CPU knows exactly when you're going to steal; player pitchers with very good to excellent control are very wild and routinely miss spots while CPU common 60+ pitcher dots the zone with Maddux precision; CPU defense is the greatest show on turf while your gold/diamond fielders have zero try; difficulty versus CPU is not matching correctly and it's evident with the way the CPU responds during gameplay (this is happening during content drops and is usually corrected on the usual Sunday or Monday "server maintenance" routine).

    I've been dedicated and loyal to this game...however I'm disappointed with the product (except for content releases...the issue is overall gameplay) and the fun factor is at a low. My Show morale is slowly evaporating...


  • What would you do?
  • evanchance_PSNE evanchance_PSN

    Exactly, just buy him without losing 40k. At this point I’m just buying the folks I want without pack purchases.


  • Where in the world is...Ramone San Diego?
  • evanchance_PSNE evanchance_PSN

    Today's games have seen him at Petco Park sitting offset of home plate, 1B side, AND, directly behind home plate at Polo sporting a brown cap.

    Sorry, it's become a thing the past couple of years. Anybody else ever spot his likeness? And, @Victor_SDS or @Collin_SDS, is there anyone else from SDS in the stands to try to spot/locate?


  • JR 2-2B, 1 SB
  • evanchance_PSNE evanchance_PSN

    So, after 30 attempts, completed twice only to have second double (both times) not count (even rounding 2B when runner thrown out at home - this exact play two times and I've watched saved replay over and over again with jaw dropped), finishing with base hits and homers galore, square-X-circle swings, ending with more SB's than JR had all season, JR failing to leave batters box multiple times, HPB's, BB's, trying to steal in 3-2 counts, C-mart hitting batters, teammates failing to run, JR unwilling to take leads even when pressing button, CS's after reaching 2B or 3B (phantom outs)...I'm done (not to mention conquest stats not registering).

    I started JR 2-2B, 1 SB moment at Silver 50 and I'm checking out at Silver 61 (proof working counts, getting hits and SB's), so thanks for the XP. Also, thanks for ruining JR Day experience. I'll just move on happy with the Gold JR.

    Just very disappointed, frustrated and irritated. Sorry to vent.


  • This is why I do what I do to the mariners
  • evanchance_PSNE evanchance_PSN

    The M's currently have a 3 game lead in the West. Meaning, they're in first place in the AL West...#1...


  • Jackie Robinson missions. Take notes SDS.
  • evanchance_PSNE evanchance_PSN

    @skepple15 said in Jackie Robinson missions. Take notes SDS.:

    It takes what like 3-5 games online? I think you'll survive lol

    This thread topic had good intentions when it started and then boiled into something else. Now it's coming across as a sense of entitlement for offline play. Always have to remember there are always more sides to a discussion, or argument...laws of debating.

    Look, (as Skepple and a few others know that I've chatted with over the years and respect their input and opinions), I'm an offline (offline meaning no RS or BR) strictly player and I enjoy grinding, however I won't argue the online "rewards" offered. I'll complain about the asinine moments/missions yes BUT...

    ...the rewards are fair on both fronts because each gamer (I'm 49 btw) plays differently: offline and online. We get ours and they're allowed theirs.

    We choose to not put up with H2H shenanigans, they do. They don't want to grind vs CPU, we do. Props to SDS for the constant struggle to juggle a fair route for both.

    If we, offline players, want more then we'll happily dabble a bit in online. Like with Musial a couple years back ('18 if I remember correctly) I was all in.

    Such as with life "you get what you give" and if you want more then you're going to have to put in a little extra.

    Again, started good...in all honesty, offliners or onliners (this BS of elite and casual) are no different...some have more skill than others and in the reality of it all: we're all gamers that pick how we want to play (and I've been that way since '16).


  • Favorite player growing up?
  • evanchance_PSNE evanchance_PSN

    Growing up in St. Louis during the painful teams of the 70's pre Whiteyball it was Ted Simmons.

    I also enjoyed seeing Johnny Bench when the Reds came to town.

    There's a few more from my childhood I rooted for: Lou Brock, Pete Rose, Craig Nettles, Nolan Ryan, John Stearns, Dave Kingman, Dave Parker...but Simba was my all time fav.


  • Tim Tebow is on the Mets All-Time team
  • evanchance_PSNE evanchance_PSN

    Tebow took time before and after a game in Hickory to meet kids, sign autographs and pose for pics. Guy is sincere. And kudos to him for living the dream.


  • CPU bunting is a problem.
  • evanchance_PSNE evanchance_PSN

    I get your frustrations, however the statement isn't necessarily accurate.

    If the CPU is dropping bunts on you, make mental notes and prepare your defense accordingly. Maybe play in 3B cover drag for the AB, or start off in bunt defense til an 0-2, or 1-2 count then fall back to cover drag. Another option is infield in. You're going to have to counter the CPU.


  • R.I.P Bruce Sutter
  • evanchance_PSNE evanchance_PSN

    Just wow. Darn good memories of those 80s Cards teams. Thanks for sealing the win in 82. I can still see Gorman Thomas swing and miss. One of the all time greats.


  • Update 1.11 Discussion
  • evanchance_PSNE evanchance_PSN

    Post patch 5 games in and I'm disappointed...much the same and not seeing, or feeling, any change. I usually give a week of solid play before thumbs up, or down. However, as of right now...thumbs down. Let's see how the next 7 days go. This loss of confidence in the game is still growing, as well as the perfect/perfect double plays. Pitching remains a train wreck.
    Lesson learned...I'm out on getting '21.

    @Crimson_Monk said in JR 2-2B, 1 SB:

    If you take second and the
    Outfielder throws to the lead runner it isn’t counted as a double. It’s a single with a advance on throw. Happens sometimes. I don’t know what to say of it was an actual double

    In game announcer even says they are doubles.. games broke

    It's not a double if the outfielder has the option to throw you out at 2B but decides to throw to either 3B or home, that would be judged a single with a runner advanced to second base on a fielder's choice. The game announcer is programmed to only register that you made it to second, that's why he's calling it a double even though it's not.

    I understand what you're getting to, however ball hit; goes down the line into the corner; before fielder gets ball JR already between 1st and 2nd; fielder throws ball in while JR at 2nd; cutoff fires home, JR now a few trots off from second having already touched bag, runner out at home. Again, having already rounded 2nd.
    This is a clean double all day even with lead runner pegged at the plate...this same exact play happened twice with same results. I am aware that if before full commitment to second base I decide to send JR after fielder gets ball then I am, in fact, advancing on the throw. This, from the play(s) mentioned, is not the case in this instance.


  • Livestream: 5th Inning Program
  • evanchance_PSNE evanchance_PSN

    @Collin_SDS, no twitch drops??? Watched from beginning to end. Accounts have been linked for a while now, still no drops. Anyone else not get drops???


  • Ghost Patch???
  • evanchance_PSNE evanchance_PSN

    Need server restart...gameplay always sick post content drop.

    Yes, it's been off. And yes, weird occurrence with fielding, hitting timing off again and just had pitcher taken out of game vs CPU due to injury (Not franchise, not MtO, just regular vs CPU).

    You aren't wrong OP.


  • Baseball Cards.
  • evanchance_PSNE evanchance_PSN

    Steady collector since ‘77. Always up for trades, lol. Entire room dedicated to collection. It’s a fun hobby and the kids love to rip packs in search of the hits. Setting up a nice starter collection for grandson and hopefully he’ll be interested.
    The sad thing about it today is high end is basically pushing out the younger collectors. However Topps does have good products designed, and out, that target youngsters: Opening Day and Big Leagues.
    It’s still fun for me and my wife doesn’t mind that my inner child shows.


  • Offline Gameplay Observations Past Week
  • evanchance_PSNE evanchance_PSN

    Offline only observation...743 games, Prestige 8...

    Gameplay back to April standards it feels. Poor fielding or fielders protesting fielding and stopping short of grounders, hitting timing off, player pitchers have Rick Ankiel control, double play fiesta, perfect is nothing but warning track fodder, CPU hitters taking lessons from Cobb and Ruth, CPU pitchers Koufax-like. It’s been painful since this past Tuesday.

    Not sure if all the content that dropped knocked it out of whack or what. Maybe a bit of the server maintenance needed or the mother ship resetting sliders. Love the content and it’s been enjoyable, however games vs CPU are less than enjoyable.

    Any other offline only players seeing/having same? Just curious...

    Clever title. I always see someone with a pretzel

    That pretzel can be almost as annoying as the screen rotation...both seem to do their thing at the apex of meter.

    Or, the chic that is one her cell phone behind home plate...still don’t know why it bothers me, just does. Feel like yelling, “get off the phone!”

    @jz2016cubs said in Baseball Reference:

    So, tonight I am going to look around on Baseball Reference, for fun. Got any things you want me to look up?
    For example: What happened in the 4th inning of the Yankees game on September 6, 2009?
    What count was Mike Trout's 300th home run on? What was the pitch type?
    Stuff like that. Thanks in advance!
