Long time Madden player here. Needed a change cause as most know that game sucks. 45 year old looking for others who like to play and talk sheet with on the weekends. Trying to get better at the game as this is my first year. I’m ok. Actually a little better than ok. But no where, where I would like to be. Love drinking beer and taking mind off work and the crazy world we live in. Let me know. Kind of a cheesy post I know lol but I don’t know any Show players! Thanks

I’m 40 plus years old but look much and feel much younger. Age is a number man. Hell, I can hang with the best of em lol. Appreciate the follow ups and I’ll be hitting the above poster up this weekend I’m off Friday Saturday Sunday

Ohtani should be player of the month

Waited all year for this. Wish I had never played this on PS5. Once you get used to that it’s really hard to go back to PS4. Hard to believe that it can be implemented on an inferior game console. I don’t know if it’s a space issue or laziness or what but this really stinks. If the lockout doesn’t end I’ll definitely skip this year. Think about listening to the people who support your business in the future. Just for once! Ok Rant over.

I was new to the game this year so I honestly was under the impression if it’s in the vault it’s ok to download. So, I legitimately made a team called the knockers used the Boobs logo. Made my team uniforms and all surrounding that logo. I didn’t stop to think about kids honestly. Heck I was like…this is pretty dang cool lol. Anyways I received a 7 day ban not long after taking my squad online. Never in my life had I been in any kind of PSN jail lol. If it’s wrong take the [censored] down immediately. I noticed the logo and probably a month later I built my team so yeah. When the logo was still there. I had no idea this was frowned upon. Pretty stupid of me when I look back on it but still the way they handled it kinda made me want to leave. I’m loving the game but they are starting to remind me of EA and that is a bad thing.

This could be a lil lenghty, Another year rolls around and as I wait for the games season to kickoff I've been left thinking about life. I've been playing baseball games since triple play baseball mvp base all every edition of the show. The one thing I always had was my brother, he was 9 years older than me& I am 29 now. My brother died of a overdose last year July second and it just ruined my season let alone left me lost in life I lost my joy I found in playing among other things I hope it returns. Me and my brother been cubs fans since as long as I can remember it started with 162 game seasons vs the cpu but then my brother ventured online, some of you know we played online together for years I would pitch he would bat and vice versa.. 1000 of games streak after streak win after win and the losses that we took way to seriously but we loved it starting out takeing our losses then rising the ranks to #1 together.. then drugs took ahold and are relationship soured and for at least 2-3years he barely came around and played as drugs destroyed him and our bond as brothers bit he would still ask how it was going I could tell him about games now that he's gone really only the good memories stay. Its wild what makes a memory pop anyway He is why I play and will continue to play the show online I wouldve never went online if he hadn't and I am thankful for all the hours we got to spend Ballin and just hanging out one day I hope to share some of those same experiences with my kid. But in recap my brother & my love of sports is why I play the show. If you read this far please tell me why you play the show.

I sure miss the lobbies and banter of us original online members playing regular teams

I remember having some heated games against you back in the day. I was tacosaban on like MLB the show 12 I think it was lol. I've only played the show twice this will be my 3rd year. Got back into baseball last year. Madden just lost my interest with EA's greed and never doing anything fresh. Anyway...I think you used to whoop up on me but those were some fun days.

@drewshbag420_psn said in The DDA is dismal:

What is DDA?

Not sure but if it’s the long, and I mean 7 long fly outs to the very deepest part of the park I had in a game against a [censored] team. Then yeah I believe it. I just laughed it off. After the first 2 I knew everything was staying in the park. Nothing I could do. Try blowing on the TV. Didn’t work.

@ccarr77_psn said in How do people get away with this:

If my daughter has a peanut allergy and my opponent is rocking a Mr. Peanut logo can I report him?

While I don’t agree with what I read in the first posters picture. Why the heck is everyone so [censored] sensitive these days? You cats would of never made it in the 90’s. [censored] I miss those days. See something move on. Don’t like it quit. If you have kids. Don’t allow them in the vault. Same time, live a little. Life’s to short to be upset all the time. Things are never gonna be about just you and you will never be able to control everyone and/or everything. Take something and move on!

@squid_adams_psn said in SDS Messed Around and Broke Their Game:

Little update. In a event game right now, where I gave up a 3-0 lead...due in large part to my center fielder freezing and allowing more runners to score! I wonder what else I'll encounter

Edit: I LOST!!! Had the win yanked right from under me. Good stuff, good stuff.

Also, forgot some of the other ways SDS broke their game.
-Oh great, a double! Wait a minute, he's running home! WTF, no!!! Annnnnnnd he's out.....
-Runner on second, ground ball to the 3rd baseman or shortstop, runner on second over-dramatically belly flops back on the base...meanwhile I'm instructing him to run to third. My opponent throws it to first, and guess what!? The runner from second is now listening to the command 5 seconds after the fact and is running to third at the worst possible time for the easy out!

And can the people defending this game just stop messing with us and come clean as SDS employees? Or at the very least paid "influencers" hyping up a currently terrible game.

I’m not gonna take things that far but I had to laugh at some of the play by play comments you made Yes all that [censored] has happened to me. This weekend! I will throw one more in there. Ball hits 3rd base and shoots straight up in the air. Like 30 plus foot. You get out all out of wack on which way to go and basically the input of the player your controlling is well just froze or something. Meanwhile almost everyone has scored or at least almost by the time you L2 to another player if it even lets you. Yeah this happened twice in 2 days. I’m on the PS5 not sure if it’s something screwy on that. But I shouldn’t lose control of my players.

Figured I’d take one for the team! on the bright side it gives me a year off from what has been a very disappointing game. At least on my end. I had been unable to do anything in mini-seasons. My created player can’t play a 2nd season of Rtts. Sent a ticket a couple weeks ag about mini-seasons. No response. Probably wouldn’t have been tempted but so hard for the working man to keep up. Especially when the modes do not work for all. Is what it is. Just don’t believe the YouTubers who claim that it’s ban free. It’s not. Live and learn!

wont buy 23 i can assure ya

is it 120 online for xbox?

Sad that question even has to be asked. You own the card? Can’t you do as pleased with so card?

I sent a ticket asking for a 2nd chance. Got a response but it’s not happening. Think I’ll go back to 21. Come back next year if things get better with the game itself.

Maybe it's not that big a deal but if I were you I'd probably retire the name "GlitchMagic". It doesn't exactly give off the vibe of an honest and fair player.

Don't read into the user names too deep. I'm certainly not a homeless person that rides trains and carries my belongings on a stick.

This person admitted to the error and has open remorse. It's very commendable. There's a lot of credibility in most of what he writes.

I wish that he wasn't banned for a year, but as others have pointed out, there's other ways to get back in the game. Yeah, it will cost you another copy of the game, but it's early enough in the year to catch up.

I appreciate that. Yeah it’s just a name. Man I stink at this game but I’m a fair player. I got the name as a joke to Fitz Magic the QB. I bought stubs. I had nothing to do with hacking the market lol. I’m no hacker or anything like that.
I’m trying to figure out my next move. But rebuying the game ain’t happening. Like I’ve said previously. I think I’ll ride it out on mlb 21 till the next one comes out. Next year I’ll know what not to do. Hopefully I’m not banned on the new game next year at time of release.
Bright side now is instead of making excuses to friends on why I can’t get together on the weekends because I’m grinding the show. I guess I will be able to partake!

My earlier comments weren't meant in a derogatory manner. I've served on interview committees and taken micro courses on the do's and don'ts. We as humans have biases and sometimes, we don't even recognize them. My suggestion was based on being in your shoes and wanting to remove even that opportunity for someone to pass misplaced judgement. In the end you may not even care. Apologies if you were offended earlier.

Not at all. No apology needed.

I've been pretty silent on this but I'll give some opinions now. As a person whose job it has been for over 25 years to manage, store code for and debug data, here's my take...

SDS did the right thing by banning innocents inadvertantly. Every minute these stubs and activity is out there, it becomes harder to unravel and causes more harm to the market. This year, the market has been more stable than ever. People haven't been making millions flipping. That says it all.

SDS has the data to back up ANY claim of innocence. If you are in fact innocent, send in your ticket. Be polite. Cite some dates and transactions. It will only help expedite.

Like many other "veterans" of this community, it's not "our" population affected by this. Why? We know better man. Simple, and factual statement. We've seen shady stuff over the years and know that you either buy stubs via the appropriate parties, or earn them through the game.

Streamers advertising 3rd party stub sellers and people thinking those sales are legit, I don't have sympathy for. Those same streamers are likely getting kick back from those 3rd party sellers.

I'm sure there are innocent people that have been banned. I get it. Innocent before proven guilty works with laws, but not private companies in an online virtual environment that you agree to use under those terms, everytime you log in.

the streamers should get banned too for advertising said sites

Only way I’d ever known about the place.

I saw advertisements on several of the YouTubers and figured it was legit. Banned for a year. They should go after those sites not the customers who buy their game. I’ve bought 2 legit $100 bundles already. Was looking to save a dollar. ‍️

How much did you buy from the site? Just curious

100k

I got banned for a year for a first time offense as well. Been playing this game since 2006. I think removing cards from my DD deck along with the 1 day ban wouldve sufficed. But a year?! Can't play anything online. It seems rather excessive if you ask me and I didn't do anything offensive etc. Market manipulation? Seems like there are many others who have done worse market manipulation and seemed to not even get a slap on the wrist.

What was your "market manipulation"? I have to assume it was pretty extreme if you were banned for a year.

Mine said the same I think. I personally just paid $21 on some site. Hour later I got email saying your order had been filled. Next morning banned. I guess I manipulated the fact I only paid $21 instead of $100. I want my shohei preorder bat back lol. Honestly it sux. But I’m shutting up and moving on now. Don’t recommend anyone doing it though.

How did they send you the stubs? I would imagine that was the problem.

They logged into my account and sent them from another. Don’t recommend it as I said.
