@dbub_psn said in Satchel Paige Kickstarter Idea:

I know Satchel played in both Negro Leagues and MLB, but your idea got me thinking...

Why on earth has SDS not bought the rights to Negro League players and uniforms?

There's no downside. SDS would help teach this generation about an important part of baseball history.

And securing the rights would also help support the families of Negro League stars.

Any reason why this shouldn't happen?

I'm sure there's more to the situation than meets the eye, but the idea is great & the heart behind what you said is on point. I concur. I liked the stuff SDS did with the Jackie Robinson foundation earlier in the year, fwiw.

I just ran into a free 10 pack bundle in the Microsoft store with a release date of 6/22/21. Possibly a courtesy bundle due to this outage?

(On Xbox - search the Microsoft Store : MLB --> Add-Ons --> 10 Pack Bundle at the bottom.)

Doesn't appear to be in my actually inventory yet, fwiw.

I love the monsters & the playfulness I think it's cool.

(stands up from chair and while fighting back tears begins to applaud)

Corn. It's the corn, man.

This is kinda sad how they can’t do anything about it like I’m pretty sure all of us submitted tickets I’ve only heard of one of y’all getting a response I haven’t gotten anything and we still can’t get Riley

Yep, still can't unlock Austin Riley. Moments for Stage 2 are still locked, unavailable.

This is a long shot but there is a streamer who just accepted a job at SDS on their live content team. When she streams each day, her message is "let's talk about it." Maybe you can get on her channel when she is streaming and let her know that you're waiting for a response from SDS. Maybe she will look at your video clip to see what is wrong.

I don't know...it's a long shot, but it's something.

Let's go! It's fixed! haha. Playing Austin Riley Stage 2 Moments now.

@The_Canuckler said in 30 min cooldown because yall won't fix your game!?!?!:

I also wonder how SDS is supposed to fix individuals connectivity issues. I’ve always wondered that.

Wait, what? In all seriousness, you're blaming every single person that gets caught in a freeze off? How? Imagine playing a 3 v 3 co op game & land in a freeze off...all 6 people are equally liable for this? What if 5 are having issues with their ISP?

Make this make sense for me. If you're wired on fiber 2 GB, with NAT as open as can be, how is that 1 out of 6's fault?

I'm a big SDS supporter & generally think many come down to harsh on a variety of things. 1 thing I'm still struggling to wrap my head around is freeze offs. It seems like an unacceptable outcome (especially with the slap in the face of the cool down timer. That was not the wisest customer service/quality of life improvement. It would have been to address freeze offs, or at least provide input on how to minimize/prevent them.)

Wagner worth it too.

Yeah, I had him since very early. As an Astro fan AL West was first I go after. Plus knocks out 3 of the big 90+. Pulling deGrom helped a lot there.

I was proud to be the 23rd P5 on Billy last night.

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X_PSN said in Exchange Advice for TA2:

So 21 cards at 10K is 210K per division.

6 divisions equals 1.2+M in stubs for FREE cards that you can earn just by playing.

Sounds like a no brainer!

Any chance you work for the Biden administration?

Politics, yay!

This is the best thread of the year. The joy, the brotherhood, you love to see it.

Screw it. Just put in an order for 390k and now he's a part of the Philadelphia Conquerors. Good thing I'm a grinder!

Leaves me with about 100k.

@capardo_XBL said in Where are you at with Set 3 heading into Set 4?:

@samguenther1987 i am truly impressed!!!

Thank you, i like to try to get every card. All the cards i need now are over 200k so the real challenge has begun. Hopefully the set 2s fall in price once set 4 comes out i really want those Dibble (Nasty Boy) and Frank Thomas (Big Hurt) cards

I was the 8tj person to p5 Nasty Boy, and immmmm not sure he's anywhere near worth it . He's better on high difficulty (hof/legend) but wouldn't use him on anything less. I think a guy like Felix Bautista is better & easy to obtain. Idk. If you like a guy IRL etc, go for it!

Same here! Just took the forfeit.

@d_e_m_i_s_e_psn said in Chase Utley:

I just bought Trout yesterday. I still need Ohtani to complete the American League. Need Acuna, deGrom, Scherzer, Tatis, Machado and Arenado for NL. Man, I play this game a bunch and not even close to any collections yet. Exactly what happens if you don't do the following:
spend money
multiple 12 win runs in BR
flip cards
get extremely lucky with pulls

Without the above, you see where playing time gets you.

Eh, I won Trout in my 12-0 BR run.
I've completed all of the LS besides Tatis Jr. I'll have him today.
I do work full time (from home) & am able to grind out pretty much the entire xp from each program so far...and it didnt hurt that i've completed MTO twice on HOF with longshots. I enjoy playing that mode tho, so that may not be the best strategy.

But yo, No Money Spent is great in this game. Just keep grinding & you'll be ight.

@blind_bleeder said in Riley July POTM | Stage 2 LOCKED?:

Uninstalling and reinstalling won't change any linking or sync issues. I have my Switch linked to my PS account and I have done it a few times at the direction of SDS because of glitches.

Worst case, it may reset your progress to just before the disconnect and you will have to redo whatever the server doesn't think is finished.

Appreciate your time, sir

@marinermatt01 said in Satchel Paige Kickstarter Idea:

A consideration for SDS and the community

How much would the likeness rights to Leroy “Satchel” Paige cost? His 99 would be an amazing card to use and his windup would be so much fun. Would a kickstarter for this be feasible? How many in the community would go for this? Maybe SDS could offer a 91 Satchel Paige to anyone who participates?

I love this.

Wish there was more usage rights/love/access/knowledge towards this generation of greats --- in context to the NBL. Although, now more than ever that may be happening in culture.

Ya'll need jesus.

We all do (for real)

But sheessshhhhhhh

Hey, at least your stage 2 moments are playable! Mine are glitched.

@balsamicarrow88 said in This game is terrible…..:

Worst game play ever assembled, I can’t believe this was approved to be sold to the public. I’ve seen better gameplay on Sega Dreamcast games. ‍️ Unbelievable.

I will admit that I do laugh when you post stuff like this. But since I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game MULTIPLE times today and it STILL is giving me full credit for PXP in the July MA; I may start to think you actually have a point.

And don't get me started on NOTHING about why the Mission Progress screen not working on some consoles hasn't been address or mentioned.

Me : Frustrated that my Austin Riley program is broken & I can't progress

Me : Presses submit on the above quote I just wrote

Also Me : loads MLBTS Twitter feed immediately to see if there is a "We've heard your concerns & we are reviewing the issue expediently. We appreciate your patience."

Me/I : Doesn't see the above.

MLBTS Twitter : "ULTRA MEGA RARE DADDYLONGLEG TERRADACTDULLZ Shoeless Bo-Jo Jackmack pack, 1 in 11 of chance of a Dallllllllassss DIAMOND Pageee card!"

me : gets excited again.

Me Tomorrow : Wah. Riley. repeat

I'm still stuck as well.

Just out of curiosity. Did you all do the required collect 5 to move on to stage 3?

No, I'm not going to buy those players for 50k a piece and more when I can earn them. I can't earn them until my stage 2 moments are unlocked.
