@astrosjake_psn said in Props to SDS for changing the Altuve moment title…:

I thought it was pretty low for SDS to reference the dumbest conspiracy theory in sports in the title for the Altuve HR moment, and it looks like they changed it. I guess someone realized it was a dumb move in the first place

Username checks out.

My first 90+ diamond that I bought was Trea Turner. My second 90+ diamond that I bought was Vlad Jr. I clearly know what I'm doing...

@xfoufoufou_psn said in Thanks SDS for making Tatis Jr unusable:

Thats not true , With high vision its easier to
seen pitches better and recognize them...

I hit around 300 with my best 4-5 hitter and tatis Jr 200... so easy to strike
out with his slow swing and that you can't pick
up anything from the pitcher with him

Easier to see pitches? How exactly do you think vision works in this game? Do you think the ball is a higher resolution or bigger with good vision, and blurry with bad vision?

Vision controls size of the outer PCI. You are not seeing the ball better with higher vision cards.

@vvsharkyvv_xbl said in I played a cheater just now:

I was up 8 to 5 in bottom of the 9th with 1 out and nobody on. His next 4 of 5 at bats were bombs and perfect cracks in spots he could touch me before hand and ended the game beating me 10 to 8. He even hit one out that was a ball almost in the dirt This game blows because sds doesn't do squat to stop it. Also, there are nothing but modders playing events and it's almost impossible to get wins against them. Sad bro.

I just checked the log. You left Darren O'Day in for 1 and 2/3 innings and he gave up 5 runs. That means his stamina was already somewhat depleted from the 8th inning. Then you let him give up a bomb with 1 out in the 9th...and left him in to get tagged for 4 more runs. Everyone knows confidence drops like a rock under those circumstances and the opponents PCI gets bigger, which means it gets easier and easier to knock you around.

You didn't lose because your opponent cheated. You tried pulling the same nonsense last year claiming everyone was using Cronus. You just don't know what you're doing.

@serrato32_psn said in Shut the market down until you fix this mess:

What happened? What's going on?

Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

I just got stuck at Field of Dreams as the away team on Series X. It's the second time I've played there this year. That stadium may have the worst frame rate I have experienced in any video game. Trying to field the ball was literally giving me a headache. I have to pop a couple of aspirin and lay down. The next time that stadium loads in, I might just have to quit and take the loss.

SDS...you need to either fix that thing or get it out of here.

I'm all for the DH in real baseball, and I would be okay with it if SDS adds a DH in future games. However, if 8 superstar diamond hitters aren't enough for you to get some offense going, the 9th one isn't going to help.

@gradekthebard said in Topps now Grind is NOT worth it:

Sure, until you need to have topps now and PoTM cards to get the “Griffey” collection done later in the year.

People always forgot the collections and cry when they're released ...why are cards so expensive

I'll bookmark this thread and will copy/paste it into the inevitable "the new collection is impossible and too expensive thread" we're bound to see from them.

Battle Royale.

Cool story bro. YOU don't know shiate about Zen, their discord channel, their downloads for mlb the show and the 1000s upon 1000s of players that use their programs. Since your such a cool history digger, maybe you should dig a little more and see what is really going on but it's cool, you already know everything sir.

You were barely over .500 last year in over 150 games. Could it just be that you're not that good at the game?

No. You're right. It must be a conspiracy. Everyone is out to get you. It had nothing to do with the fact that after a full year of playing this game, you still don't know how to manage a bullpen.

I tried to knock that out in the event yesterday. I already had 30 wins, so I put together an all speed team. I would time my opponents delivery to sneak in an extra step, and I still got nailed almost every time. I've never been much of a base stealer, but I definitely feel like it's harder this year. 99 speed/99 steal doesn't seem to mean much.

I'm not no conspiracy theorist...

So...you are a conspiracy theorist?

@homegrownpine1_xbl said in Hired Market Managers:

...people are just kind of stupid.

Bingo. Nailed it right there. If you need evidence, look no further than posts on this forum. How many people chose the same unsellable cards last year in team affinity? How many people list cards at quicksell value, and lose 10% as opposed to just quickselling? How many people whine about Future Star cards because they're made up, while simultaneously complaining about one of the greatest baseball players of all time being released today because "wahhhhh, too many first basemen type cards".

Yes. People are stupid. Welcome to the internet, where they showcase their talents for the whole world to see.

@homegrownpine1_xbl said in Card Rarity - Limited Release:

Does anyone know if certain cards will be limited for release? Like after a card is released for an event will SDS reduce how many additional cards will be released?

Example: Trevor Hoffman Takeshi card available via Ranked Season or BR. Will it become rarer after the event ends, or will they just keep spitting out the card in packs?

It will be in rewind packs I'm sure.

Right, but how common will they be and when will they get released? Any way to know?

I'm not sure what you mean. They're choice packs. People can choose Hoffman in every rewins pack every time, or never choose him. Theoretically price should even out through all the event rewind picks since you are most likely going to pick whoever is selling for the most. I think there were 2-3 rewind packs in the last event reward path if I remember correctly.

@wkward83_psn said in Big Collection:

How many stubs to you you guys think it will take to complete Fridays big collection? Thanks

@theblindrhino said in It’s hard to make a profit on cards...:

I keep hearing that it is hard to make stubs. It isn’t. I’m at 3 million with all the cards collected for Ruth.

Thats because people are flipping common through gold cards, and they're mad they aren't swimming through a sea of stubs like Scrooge McDuck.

Meanwhile, I made about 100k already today ‍️

@foofencer_nsw said in Future of the Franchise Friday:

PSA for those planning to complete the upcoming big collection asap. If you were going to skip one of the existing collections (assuming that is possible again) you may want to rethink that. Future stars will likely be a new category which will take a decent amount of time to get to the required amount of cards.

Appreciate you posting this. I’ve been thinking about this and wanting to get a chance to post it for others. They are making these collections interesting this week. I have all the Takashi cards, and all but four cards in the game….but I might not be able to complete either collection this week.

I can’t make WS in a day to get the Maddux and then if that Takashi reward is a voucher, I won’t have it for the big one…then it will take time to complete FS, which puts me short two categories when I have virtually all cards. Not complaining…it is just interesting that these collections this week could be pretty hard even for people with most cards.

I'm in a similar boat. I'm down the the rare round Intense pack guys, JR Richard, Pujols, and Bay. I could buy a few of them, but I think I have enough for each of those categories and don't see the point in overpaying at stub sale prices. I think last year was similar. I kept up with all the cards for the most part, and I don't think I had Mariano on day 1. There may have been a new category added then as well.

I already have them all, plus an unopened pack from the reward path. I think I'll hold that one until the collection releases. I don't play a lot of ranked, so the new one is going to be a problem. Will probably be really expensive
