    RE: Showdown made me uninstall the game (feedback)

    @midnightdt_mlbts said in Showdown made me uninstall the game (feedback):

    Hello this post is not meant to be a hate post it's just meant to be feedback.

    I am not very good at this game. I own and I admit that, I'm like a 400 or 500 skill level in head to head. If that. I very often struggle to make hits and score runs.

    I've accepted that I'm not that good and I still enjoy building a team by doing all the offline content, And then I like to go online occasionally with my team and see if I can get some wins.

    The showdown mode broke me. I ended up uninstalling the game because of it.. that game mode is actually quite fun but it's all or nothing nature is extremely frustrating for bad or new players. You can spend an hour on a run and if you don't beat the final boss you get literally nothing. Maybe some XP but that's it.

    I really feel like if you make it to the final boss and lose you should still get at least one ticket I mean what's one ticket it's nothing. But it's better than literally nothing... If you win you should get five and if you lose you should get one. Maybe make it so you can't skip to the end(and still get the 1 guaranteed ticket) if you're worried about people just cheesing to get one ticket. But if you actually play through it all beat the middle boss and then lose in the final getting nothing is heartbreaking.

    It happened to me four times in a row and that combined with the fact that I suck and lose online all the time I was just like what am I doing with my life why am I playing this game.

    I hope this feedback is well received If a change such as this were to be made I will probably reinstall and come back because at least then I could feel like I could grind away and get the characters I want even if I'm bad and I lose to the boss half the time or more.

    Hang in there - I didn't not beat 1 single showdown last year, I didn't even try after inning 1.

    This year beat about 30 Team Affinity Showdowns and 1st and 2nd inning on the 1st try.

    I play them straight through without skipping, I've come back form 8 down. Normally I want to be 3-4 runs to have a chance (Thats why do the little missions).

    Showdown pitchers throw junk right below or just above, and they try to get you to chase the slider.

    BE PATIENT .... move the PCI up and down so you get a good sense of the strike zone, and just LOCK IN in the middle. Some have suggested taking a couple strikes, that helps to.

    Once the showdown pitcher recognizes you know chasing the junk, it becomes so much easy. And once you get it, you just keep winning at a good %.

    You'll get there. GL

    RE: Vida Blue

    Hell yeah

    I Didn't know who Vida Blue was until I Started playing this game, and his delivery is one of the best.

    I'm dropping 500k at the beginning when available ....It will probably take a day for that order to fill. Hope to parallel V Superfractor by Friday.

    I'm pumped!!!

    RE: It took all my stubs, but I just got Justice!

    I bought him at $320,000 sold him after 25 ABs for $300,000 ......put in two bids for David Justice for $100,001. Just ok for me toO.

    I remember David Justice when he first came up, I made my mom buy some cards on QVC channel, and I got my David Justice cards 3 months later. Those wHERE the days.

    PS ....I recently saw David Justice 2 years ago at his sons DJ Justice HS Football game.

    Hope you have fun, gotta play with you guys!!!!!

    RE: Investment - how did you do?

    @yankblan_psn said in Investment - how did you do?:

    I read this thread and keep thinking most of you guys are probably not married, right?

    I'm married, 40 years old and retired ... my daughter just completed 38 credits of college a year after graduating high school during the pandemic. My son plays Varsity Basketball for his HS.

    2.5 million today was sweet - can chill for a bit. Haha

    Any tips on who to invest in going forward?

    Buy today - anyone who didn't get an upgrade, buy 3 cards at a time, don't try to buy 50 at a time or someone will outbid you quickly and you wasted time posting.

    Scoop as many cards the next two weeks.

    Make extra stubs on the side selling gold equipment ...buy 3 sell 3.

    RE: Valenzuela

    @writetoshawn_psn said in Valenzuela:

    I’m not an avid collector, so I usually only obtain the best card of a player (i.e. if I get a 99 Mantle, I’ll sell the lower versions).

    Do you guys think a higher-rated Fernando Valenzuela will come out this year at some point?

    Yes Fernando will get a Signature ... count on it. Too much money involved with Dodger fans.

    I would pay 5 million for a Fernando signature. How about the a No Hitter card?

    @yankeefan412_xbl said in Valenzuela:

    I just don’t think he was a good enough player to get multiple good cards. He had a great 5 year run but only won 1 cy young & isn’t a hall of famer. Very solid player but just not elite.

    I don't think Jasson Dominguez should get a card.

    RE: Welp…There goes online play thanks to the Gutfoxx video

    I'm glad this video was made .... because I haven't played online and had no idea about freeze-offs and glitches. So wack!!!!

    I'm relieved though, offline is chill zone and the Parallel system is awesome!!!

    @honronbaseball_psn said in How many Parallel "V" cards will be needed for the Honus Wagner Collection???:

    Been grinding the market since launch, have all the cards now and even 2 of each Battle Royale and World Series rewards cards because I know at the end of the year those cards will be 1 million.

    I am a collector and don't play ranked seasons.

    I'm guessing 10 parallel "V" cards but hope they only ask for 5. Right now I only have 3 cards to parallel 3.

    How did you work the market to get all the cards already?

    I'm a collector 1st - Im ok with not even playing 1 game if I can get all the cards. This is my 3rd year, and I have been hitting the market heavy since early launch. Making 100k per day is a bad day for me.

    (You can click on my profile) - I grinding playing conquest for Jackie. You can see that I have Prince, Lou, Vlad. All World Series and Battle Royale cards I have 2 of each to sell at 1 million later on.

    I invest - I have 100 burnes, 100 rodons, anyone you can think of I have. I got Rodon at under 100 stubs early on.

    The key to flipping is speed and be patient, if someone undercuts you don't worry about it. Scoop up everything at quick sale.

    This year I will play ranked season maybe in season 4 or 5, never played ranked before. Trying to create a storyline around Garrett Anderson who went to my high school, content coming soon.

    Cant wait to try Jackie 99 tonight.

    Did you buy stubs to use to flip? Just asking because I can't fanthom how you have all those cards in just 3 weeks.

    I don't care if you did but them; just curious. P

    I got the pre-order 25k stubs for digital release. I started flipping at 9pm PT early release and stopped at like 3am. I was getting like 6k per flip that night. Within 2 hours I was like at 200k. By Saturday equipment prices were so low on Gold eqiuipment (almost quick sale). I bought in bulk and couldn't push it fast enough that weekend.

    Luckily for me, on Launch day prices for gold equipment wasn't in the 100 stubs it was in the 10k stubs.

    Didn't buy LS diamonds. Invested like 2 million or 3 million in silvers and bronzes. I cashed in week 1 and expect to cash in every week.

    On Fridays when they do update at 12pm ,I'm buying 1000s of cards because people are mad their player didn't get an upgrade.

    It's all about stacking for cheap, then just reselling.

    RE: Is there a max amount of stubs you can have?

    @pox911_psn said in Is there a max amount of stubs you can have?:

    I’ll never reach it lol. But I’m asking because I frequently see tons of 5,000 stub buy orders on cards like Christy Mathewson that will obviously never go that low, and it seems like maybe people are using that to “stash” stubs if they have hit a max

    Yeah you gotta hide stubs like George Jung ... or else they vanish past 5 million.

    RE: Investment critique needed from a pro

    These are great grabs ... you are doing right by scooping close to quick sale value.

    You can strikeout and still not come out losing that much, but if you hit, it will be a good hit for you.

    If they don't get upgraded, don't panic ...maybe buy more.

    Good job!

    RE: Fall off

    @ironeyes_cody_psn said in Fall off:

    Don't know about this game, but in FIFA the participation level drops by over 50% in FUT by the 3rd month after release. Many reasons, but a lot is just player burn out. Too much of the same-o same-o.

    What do you believe the fall off would be here. Someone recently mentioned there could be as many as 50+ 99 Diamond cards within a couple months. Does that excite or scare you away?

    I'm in it until at least New Years, I like to collect all the cards.

    Madden and 2K weeks, big drop offs .... but is that a bd or good thing?

    RE: Collection Speculation

    @honronbaseball_psn said in Market manipulation:

    Have 12,000+ completed orders - 26 pages of sell now stuff going back a month and a half. Made like 50k today not even turning on the game. 🙂

    Okay well I lost three RS games in a row and made twice that.

    I don't want to go over 5 million this weekend .... I need to stash about 1 million into Mike Trout Cards at 250k tonight like George Jung in the movie Blow.

    0-0 Ranked record and every WR and BR card x2

    those 450k on trout are mine

    Haha ...yeah I saw a video of someone going over 5 million. Nope. Have to stash here and there.

    RE: Diamond Dynasty might need to be renamed.

    The only moment I haven't finished this year is the Gary Carter 5 XBH in 3 games. I don't play online so I came into the season telling myself I was going to do every moment this year.

    It's not fun at all .... I really rather play a 9 inning game vs CPU and parallel players than do moments for 1 hour.

    It really makes you want to stop playing the game for a while.

    RE: XP Reduced?

    Ive been getting about 10 - 12k vs CPU on All-Star (9 innings) since launch. I only play on All-Star offline.

    Is that good or bad?

    I did finish the 650k for the 3rd inning in a week because I was SuperFractoring a couple rewards pitchers playing vs CPU on All-Star.
