Lol I sense extremely high copium levels in here.

@Hes-A-Wall_PSN said in PXP Hunting:

Does quitting a game void out PXP or Monthly Award goals? I’m trying to finish up the August POTM and went to take a short cut. Noticed the XP wasn’t going up.

Like @PAinPA_PSN stated; if you don't have at least 8 of your batter record a hit or an out and quit the game, any PXP you earned won't count.

They (SDS) started doing that this year because up until this year people would play the CPU and load up the first three batters with players they wanted to parallel and just 'hit and quit'.

@kevinootch_psn said in The Bunt is Back:

I was playing a game the other that had the bases loaded and two out. My character was on second and Franmil Reyes tries a drag bunt and, of course, gets thrown out at first by a mile. I won’t even start a rant about bunting when I play 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. I’m reduced to playing shortstop or an outfield position.

Same. I had Salvador Perez, who is known league wide for his speed and base running, bunt with bases loaded with two outs and me watching from first base.

Are all the opponents made of god squads?

I’m trying to do a no money spent squad this year and I’m a casual gamer. So my squad is mid, at best. I tried mini season and my first opponent had 99 Randy Johnson and every top position player available. Roster full of the highest rated player in every position and bullpen.

Don’t want to waste my time if it’s like this with every squad.

Remember also just b/c they have God squad diamonds does not mean they are good. When playing other teams like this from leaderboard the CPU plays off of that players tendencies not the same way vs CPU is played.

What do you mean tendencies?

They behave like a human controlled team. Some will swing at everything; sometimes they will spam you with high and inside sinkers.

Do they. Is there confirmation of this? I don't remember them ever mentioning this.

They never mentionned it, but it's clear as day when you see how they behave: sitting on pitch types/locations, spamming inside cutters or sliders vs lefties a foot inside. My last game last week, one of their players fouled off 5-6 straight curveballs in the dirt. The CPU doesn't ususally do this.

is it just set on competitive cpu settings, not casual. that's my guess. Mine is always set on this so any CPU mode they pitch like that. On casual I believe they throw more over the plate constantly

I set to competitive too, but the CPU on Conquest plays like a dumb CPU, not in MS.

@hes-a-wall_psn said in Guess Pitch:

Am I missing it? Did they remove the guess pitch option for hitting this year? I loved being able to sit up on a high inside fastball for my RTTS player.

It’s in the settings so I don’t think they removed it completely but it’s definitely been removed from competitive play. I only play Online Rated and used it for years but it’s been removed now.

@kingakp_xbl said in Team Affinity Season 3:

I definitely think you're right that it's coming soon.. I also think we are getting a new big(ish) conquest map in the near future. They just started giving all 5 prospects per division instead of 1. Unless they thought 1 per division wasn't enough, they're getting ready to give us a new map to grind.

That could be big! I know the message board is full of discontent, but they are throwing out a crazy amount of content. So this wouldn’t surprise me

@lostdragon39_mlbts said in The Perfect Swing:

I refuse to say which swing I use. Been playin this game since '15. And .everyyyy single time we talk bout sumtin good for us . They mess with it.
Passsss🗣️

Well…. What does it rhyme with?

The 2-hr mission with Upton has been brutal. 1st homer was as a pinch-hitter before I had room in my line-up. I've hit 2 homers against lefties with Kiermaier, but still sitting on 1 with Upton. The Victorino mission is probably sitting in 2nd place.

@hes-a-wall_psn said in Love the Diamond Upgrades... but dang it:

I’ve always wished that SDS would create more Diamond cards and make Live Series cards competitive to legend cards. It’s nice to see more go Diamond than downgrade to gold.... but... I sure as heck sold some Muncy, Olson, and Posey cards yesterday thinking they wouldn’t make the Diamond cut. Lesson learned and about 20k less than what I should have. Whoops.

They're not competitve though. Just how many players in the league today do you think are going to be regarded as an all-time great? Pujols, Trout, and who? Acuna is young, and hasn't proven anything yet. The LS are pretty much graded how they should be, a notch below the legends.

So if you were drafting a team from past and present players, you’d pick Jason Bay before any other LS player other than Trout? The answer should be “no”, which shows how over-bloated some legends or flashbacks are.

Really. Bay is who you are going to use as an example. How about Ruth, Gehrig, Mays, Mantle; the list goes on. Do you really think today's player even deserves to be mentioned in the same breath. Trout probably needs a few more years and Pujols is a shoe-in, but who else?

They get hot and then they go cold. When they go cold they far outweigh when they are hot. Mine started off hot. Trust me when I said I had the best pack luck in the game and it isn’t even close. Then they went cold and dark days were upon us. And those days lose you so much. Then they heat up again and bounce back. I slowed down after that because I want a couple of cards but we will see later which side of the coin they go from here.
