I’m NMS and vegan and I need to tell everyone about it every chance I get.

I think we’re just at that point in the year where everyone sees a card and instantly thinks they’re not good enough for their squad.

116 contact and 87 power vs righties is plenty enough to hit tanks.

Why are you on a forum for a game you don’t want to play?

What if I live in San Diego. Is SDS a local business then?

Last year we had signature team moments, leading to cards. I loved the idea because I love using theme teams in this game, but moments suck.

Instead of moments, make a new US conquest map and instead of playing the current MLB teams, play each teams “signature team” with flashbacks/legends. Get the cards as rewards for beating each division on the map and then a boss to complete the whole map.

At least this way it isn’t mindless moments. We can work on team affinities and use whatever team we want.

I actually like that they’re being more gradual with overalls this year.

They need to just ditch this whole set idea altogether next year. This year was a massive L in content structure.

I’ve never judged people for spending money on the game. I’ve done it myself. But with the way the game is right now, it’s disappointing the horrible gameplay isn’t enough for people to hold out for a fix. This is why there’s no urgency to fix anything.

@Xx-JawnWick-xX said in First 4 ranked season games, all vs Kluber. Getting old:

And where has that complaining gotten anybody if the game is still the same? I’ll say it again since you don’t seem to be grasping the concept. There is no singular “best way” of doing anything... there will always be people who suck at the game and they’ll knit pick and complain about anything to justify why they’re bad. But SDS are the ones who took the investment risk in order to be able to create the game they want. So you either take it or leave. Either way, stop complaining.

People can complain if they want. Don’t like it don’t come on the forums.

See.. I can be a ****face too.

What is the psychological explanation for people thinking we care about posts like these?

Not sure what you were doing because if you’re only doing bullpen/subs you should have more than enough time. If anything the pause timer is too long.

Same here. This is the earliest I’ve quit MLB and this game’s basically been dead since Extreme.

I probably won’t buy it next year regardless. After what they did this year, they no longer get the benefit of the doubt.

Horrible idea with their sets/seasons, going completely MIA for weeks at a time during the middle of the season, the lack of communication in general (that’s been getting worse and worse the last 2-3 years).

Not to mention basically just copy and pasting gameplay. Sure there’s some differences but for the most part it’s the same game as it has been the last 3 years. Excessive foul balls, unrealistic ball physics (both hitting and pitching), balls constantly getting smoked 110mph directly at players. They need an overhaul before they get any of my money.

@benjaminsharpe_MLBTS said in How is co-op still freezing?:

they won’t fix freeze offs. that’s one of the main methods SDS uses for accumulating more hours logged on the game. 4-6 people not closing application because they don’t want a cooldown timer adds up fast.

What’s the difference between a cooldown timer and just sitting on a frozen game? You’d probably get to play another game sooner even if you did get a timeout.

@TEXAS10PT_PSN said in Just to play Devil’s advocate:

I've bought and played this series every year since before it was MLB The Show (989 Sports). If this is the model going forward, it is enough for me to throw in the towel. .Seriously this is not a model to keep people coming back for more. If next year is the same Sets/Seasons, I'm gone for good and I suspect I'm not the only one who feels this way. I'm not waiting until January to use the cards I earned through Set 3.

Right there with you. If they come out an announce 24 will have Sets and wild cards I will not buy it.

The rule is, once a player has a card released, they can never release another one that’s a lower overall.

You want to drop 99 Trout day 1? Then I don’t want to see any 95s, 97s, etc.

There’s plenty of other players they can choose from. If they want to release silvers, golds, they shouldn’t be of someone that has a higher overall card. Those cards can go to some lesser known players if need be.

I don't think that was ever a rule... this year was clearly different with them doing seasons... we won't be able to use all sets until Dec/Jan when Season 6 arrives and we'd also have to look at the cards side by side and through the overall away and see what the attributes are for the categories that matter... you never know the 97 Trout might be better than both 99 Trout cards... but you won't know that until you use the card(s) or at minimum compare the key attributes.

It was obviously never a rule. It’s a suggestion to make DD better.

Haven’t played since SDS went MIA at the end of Set 3.

I’d recommend starting a RTTS. Play on legend and make the sliders even harder. That was the most fun I’ve had playing this year. Make it so you have to be totally locked in just to hit .300.

Game plays way more realistic. Different hit types, fielders aren’t god tier. It was actually fun for me.

Only way this would work is if they waited to release 99s. Start off like they did last year with Silvers, Golds, and low Diamonds as rewards and release 99s later on the year. Then you'll have people complaining that they can't get a 99 of someone until they're done playing the game.

It can work with the same setup as now, they just need to ditch the expiring BS.

They have enough player rights. There’s enough playing in the league right now that deserve cards.

It’s a good year to not be able to play. Good luck in your recovery. Hopefully DD is a lot better next year.
