Can anyone advise what's going on with not being able to access the techtest forum to leave feedback? Is it for certain users only? Is it not "active" yet? Is it not working correctly?

When I go to THESHOW.COM/TECHTEST and click on join the discussion, the next page says "access denied". ??? Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a technical issue. Would love to leave some general feedback in the appropriate place. thx

I'm trying to do an MTO with each team, but it's getting harder to keep going. The mode feels so scripted at times. In addition to the issues with the mode/game, the points rewarded doesn't feel adequate compared to the time invested in grinding through an MTO, especially the playoffs where it's win or get nothing.

Yea, the challenge feels scripted, like most of the mode. In addition to the issues mentioned above, a pet peeve of mine is how long the starting pitcher will stay in the game. Once the cpu gets a hit/run, what's the point in leaving the pitcher in? I've had pitchers go 120+ pitches before finally being pulled.

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong area.

Could someone please advise in the Team Affinity Programs --> ORIOLES (or any team) --> Missions --> Exchange "ORIOLES" Rivals ... do you loose any cards you exchange or do they stay in your inventory? If they stay in your inventory, are you able to use them again, or is it a one and done deal?

Thanks in advance.

So under the 1st Inning Player Program, I need 8 points to reach 50 and unlock All-Star Kerry Woods. I beat the Cubs on All-Star in Extended Play vs CPU but it didn't register/reward me the 8 points. Is this because we're in 3rd Inning now, or did I not do something right?

Did you collect him using the voucher?

No, I haven't collected him and I don't have a voucher. I may not be explaining it correctly. Under Programs-->Player Programs-->1st Inning Kerry Wood 85 Diamond? -->All-Star Kerry Wood Stage 1; 42 of 50 earned between Missions and Moments. Scrolling over the program rewards, the last one is All-Star Legend Kerry Wood - Unlock at 50.

I've completed all the stage 1 Moments and have 42 "points". I need 8 more to get to 50 and "unlock" All-Star Kerry Wood. One of the options in Missions is Play vs CPU: defeat the Cubs on All-Star or higher. So, staying in DD, I went to Extended Play-->Play vs CPU -->selected Cubs and All-Star and played the game beating them 1-0. But I didn't get the 8 points, nor does it show a blue bar in the Mission. Still says 0/1.

I didn't know if I did something wrong, or if being in Inning 3 now matters, or if I simply got "glitched" and have to try again.

As a newbie to DD, or any mode outside franchise, the biggest issues I have with Showdown are 1) I don't feel it plays to the stated level and 2) the stub cost of playing the mode is excessive, in my opinion, especially having to start over each time.

Guys, I'm new to DD and only recently tried Ranked Seasons and Events . I noticed the "lag" when pitching and thought it was just they way online play was, but now I'm wondering if the "slow" appearance of my pitches is server related or possibly my connection related. I have a 100 mbps connection (is that enough?) but my console isn't hard wired. I've played other online games this way and never perceived a problem. I just want to make sure I'm not causing an issue for other users.

Again, I'm new to this online gaming world and while I'm not sure how much user vs user I'll play (not that good or young), I don't want to cause any other players any issues when I do play. Thx in advance.

Personally, I don't mind the length of the regular season portion, but having to play multiple innings of every single playoff game really makes it drag along. Initially I thought about doing an MTO with every team for team affinity points, but I don't see that happening now. The fun is wearing off and it's become a chore to finish the 1st one (Rays in the ALCS).

As a franchise player trying to give other modes a try, I find this mode to be beyond frustrating. CPU plays way better than the stated difficulty. The draft is a joke - you get half a team and a bunch of scrubs to go up against over-powerd CPU teams/players, and to top it off, you are charged an asinine amount of stubs to play it. SMH. Personally, I won't touch this mode again unless there are major changes made to it.
