I need your best bunt cheese team by position please and thank you.

You sir are what is wrong with this game.

@Error-Pods_XBL Get better internet. I’ve only had one freeze off so far.

Anybody else have an issue with this while pitching? I threw a perfect fastball above the zone with pinpoint and next thing I know it’s over the inside corner and gets blasted for a go ahead home run in the eighth…

@soonermagic78_XBL said in Threads Program:

I agree with you. Maybe later?

I hope so! I’m a Rangers fan and would love to have him on my theme team lol

No Joc Pederson Threads card is just criminal…

@GooseOnEm_PSN, do you use the soft rings? I bought a pack without thinking much about it, first, and ended up with a pack that contained only medium and hard... was too much of a hindrance to fielding, for my taste, but I do tend to overshoot with my PCI, so was thinking of trying soft to find a happy medium (not the sad, sad medium that I bought).

I did the same thing and I did not like the medium. I ordered a new pack that had the green (soft) ones and loved them! I’ve never had so many perfect perfects in a game!

These the Control Freeks ones? Have some in my amazon cart just making sure I'm nabbing the right ones

Yes! Just make sure the green ones are in the pack!

How do the precision rings help?

The silicone pad on one of my thumb sticks has come off (I tried gluing it back on…ech), so I need to get a new pair. I like how they raise the stick and give me more control. Should I ditch the thumb stick and go for precision rings instead?

I use both! The precision rings provide a soft resistance so when you are trying to lineup the pci you don’t slam it in the direction your me going and mishit/miss the pitch.

@icebergslim7669_PSN said in Holy Precision Rings:

Been thinking of getting some, but does it affect fielding, i read somewhere it’s good for hitting but makes it harder to get to balls fielding.

You just have to press the analog stick harder, but I noticed no negative impact.The benefits definitely outweigh any negatives. I do only use it on the left analog stick though because it makes pinpoint pitching impossible.

Currently I’m hovering between PR and WC division, but I saw some users mention precision rings and figured I would try them out since I was struggling hitting in RS. Currently I’m hovering between PR and WC division. First game using them I had 16 hits, 8 HR, and won 11-1. I had not had a game anywhere close to those numbers before. So my honest review is they rock

The pitch speeds on inline are much more difficult. Normally takes me a good through the lineup to figure out my opponents tendencies and then I can sit on something specific in a specific location early/ahead in the count. With two strikes you just have to react.

@icebergslim7669_PSN said in Online Pitch Speed:

I played a whole mini season on Legend last year and finished first and won the championship without to much trouble and this year all star is tough, i even lost a conquest game on Veteran, cpu feels way tougher this year imo as well , online has been a struggle also.

I agree… Like why does online All-Star pitch speed feel like Legend against the CPU?

I normally play HOF difficulty against the CPU, so All Star difficulty shouldn’t be an issue, but holy hell it’s impossible to hit anything above 98 thrown inside. Please tell me I’m not the only one struggling this year….

@GoozeFn_PSN said in SDS Didn’t have to…:

It’s a culmination of things. It’s always slow this early. Less people playing because of no old gen and not on game pass. Detaching RTTS from DD tanked equipment flipping. Adding purchasable equipment packs made it even worse. There are less packs to be had this year in general. People were grinding mini seasons for packs last year which were heavily nerfed this year. There’s no exchange option in TA or any program for progress, so there’s no demand for players outside of collections. I’m old enough to remember daily exchanges for xp. They are doing everything they can to crush flipping. Margins are razor thin and it really puts a damper on progress. If the market doesn’t pick up, a lot of people are going to be gone early this year.

This is what I was saying. SDS has done a lot to make flipping harder. The market is always semi slow at this time but not THIS slow. Last year I had at least 500k stubs at this point but this year I’m only at 200k.

@SaveFarris_PSN said in SDS Didn’t have to…:

then you have no clue what you are talking about.

I've been flipping since 2017. And the difference between this year's first week and previous year's first week is negligible, especially when compared to late-stage flipping from a month ago.

I’ve always been able to complete collections within a month of the game being released. This year I am using that same strategy and it will take me 3 months to complete the collections at this rate. So if the difference between this year’s first week and last years is negligible then why is this the case?

@Blind_Bleeder_PSN said in SDS Didn’t have to…:

Flipping for stubs will be less successful as more people learn about it. Flipping relies on people selling low and buying high so the flippers can buy low and sell high.

I doubt SDS has anything to do with it. Unless they have bots selling low and buying high…

Yeah, SDS has nothing to do with a 10% tax for no reason on transactions, the amount of cards in circulation, and the quick sell prices changing the last few years. But please tell me more how SDS doesn’t affect it.

Honestly I couldn't care less about those things. They are secondary to the actions taken to directly lower the user base of their game which has an overall greater affect on the market economy of their game IMO.

I can agree with that. The amount of cards in circulation is ultimately the biggest factor.

I had success last friday to the tune of about 250K. Since then it's been a struggle.

I can normally flip 75K-100K/day during the first couple weeks to get collections done quick but might be until May at this pace lol

Geez 250k in a day is insane!! What have you been averaging since then? My best day is 20k and that honestly took too much effort lol.

Yeah maybe 20-30K and the effort to reward ratio is pathetic at this point.

This is the only UT mode game I play anymore because I actually enjoy working the market to build my team (I can easily afford to just buy it) but the market (and investing) aspect has always been a nice little side piece of the game.

I agree 100%. I could easily throw hundreds of dollars into the game and buy the collections but the grind of working the market makes it so much more rewarding when I complete them!

SDS didn’t have to nerf flipping this much. It is such a grind just to make 10k stubs in a day right now flipping cards. Anybody having success or is 10k in a day a success lol?
