It's nice to see that SDS will respond to messages involving the game play, but questions about why the servers go down every night you're silent. Now I just lost my showdown because of your stupid [censored] network/server errors. I'm so done right now. At this point I'm just going to say I will nit purchase the show 22, or any SDS products ever again. Thank you for ruining a decent baseball game with poor customer service.

They've done Ichro before. I'd like to see some cards that have never been in The Show before. I'd still like to see a Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders card. Possibly a Roy Holiday for a pitcher.

I enjoy the game, but the constant server issues is getting out of hand. I do think some better communication from SDS on what they are doing would be appreciated. As for them deleting posts, last year I commented about MTO being scripted abd the next day I couldn't find the post. SDS pulls post that call them out all the time, but it's their right as a private business

@batbreath56_psn said in Packs are hot!:

I receievd Devin Williams and Mike Trout this morning about 5am from the same pack.

Get them while their hot!

Sorry, not buying packs because someone says they are "hot". I read this post all the time, and every time I purchase packs and get squat or a diamond equipment. This will be a hard pass.

Listen, it's cool you pulled Trout or any of the big time cards in a pack; however, what is the point of coming on the forums just to get people to buy packs, or create a thread about "OMG! I pulled this card". I pulled Acuna the other night from a free pack and I thought about posting it, but then thought what would be the point. Just to get some congrats on a forum post. It's simple good for you for pulling a card you needed and congrats, but the world doesn't need to hear about it. Additionally, you don't need to run to the forum to tell people to buy packs because "there hot". They may be hot for you, but to the kid that is easily influenced might spend their last stubs on a pack only to pull commons or bronzes and now they have to grind even more. Just my opinion though.

With the server off line again, lets play a game and name the things we can bank money on as happening daily. Ready go.

Never got Trout, but got Story from Colorado three times and Yelich twice. I also ways seem to get an offer for either Frammil Reyes from the Indians.

Wouldn't say I have a favorite, as I've had limited online time; however, I've had a lot of success with live series Ozuna. Also, I really like the 42 series Stanton card in Showdowns. He rakes all time.

I just got screwed out of vouchers twice now for beating the showdowns. Got a "unexpected handling error" message both times. I understand the issues of going cross platforms, and servers not being able to handle additional traffic, but come on this is ridiculous. We paid good money for the game, and shouldn't be subjected to this garbage when we do well. Fix this SDS. I want my vouchers.

@nanthrax_1_psn said in Best Cards So Far:

90 Donaldson for me.
Though that 91 Cavan Biggio cycle card was a very cool surprise that I'm excited to try out

I've used that Donaldson card as a bench bat doing conquest, and all he did was rake homeruns. I was a little worried about having to many rights in the lineup as the reason he was on the bench, but I'd try him in online when I get the chance.

Thanks for the advice. I have tendency to chase pitches, and this is helpful to work on.

It's inevitable that when ever I'm pitching a no-hitter against the CPU, they end up getting a base hit to break it up.

That's super cute and everything but the fact is, and with the exception of mistakes by the umpire, every pitch thrown that is out of the strike zone is a ball. Assuming you should just be able to get on base on every pitch thrown is both super unrealistic and untrue to the nature of baseball itself. Try again dummy.

The OP is a troll who's obviously salty about losing some game, he's not being serious.

Sarcasm is lost on some people. It just goes over there head and the they can't catch it

Thanks to the improvement of contact swings I can hit the ones that go over my head into the bleachers. Competitive!

I'm sure you can.

There clearly needs to be a separate forum for your separate forum posts, clogging up the forum lately.

Couldn't agree more. Has to be a least one a day.

While playing conquest, I just throw them in; however, during ranked/events/BR I usually warm them up. I'm not sure if it makes a difference other then allowing your opponent to know who you have warming up to put in.

@xxdeathreyxx_psn said in Bo Jackson?:

We really need that 40 contact, 85 power. Highlight player but not a great player. He’s fine where he is…..in Madden.

Dude had at least four seasons w/ over 20 homeruns and 50 RBI only playing half the season. His stats would be way higher if he had played an entire season. Additionally, even after his hip injury he had two seasons w/ 10+ homeruns and 40 RBI. I would love to see this card in the game along w/ Roy and Dion.

Don't worry. If I pull one I list it, as I'd rather have the stubs after completing the Reds earlier before the roster updates.
