Thank you. As a light user compared to many, I have lost progress in several missions and such. I hope that you will decide to provide some good packs as an apology. Not everyone who supports this game is a "gamer" who plays hours and hours, so for us, to lose the time for a showdown and several other missions, makes it more difficult to complete programs. Thank you for your consideration of such an offering.

SDS please remove Directional Hitting from Competitive Online play please. It doesn't require Competitive skill to simply time your swings.

It's a trade off, though. Directional doesn't guarantee good contact even with perfect timing. With PCI, your contact is guaranteed if you are skilled enough. Plus, there are players that play this game for fun and aren't that good or competitive, but want to play online and enjoy the game.. Just my opinion

OK, now I am upset about this thing. Finished the First Inning Showdown only to have the server crash and it not count. I don't have much time to play so to commit 60-90 minutes to a showdown or time to any mission and WIN, but have it not count and not gain any XP or any other progression is a problem.

@Lornee56 said in Ranked Season Quitters - frustrating:

I play for prestige stats only so I quit if I am not averaging a hit an inning by inning 3 or or if the pitcher only throws balls or on the outline of the strike zone. I also give the player I am playing at least a 3 run lead every inning and it prevents dashboarding. I have every card in the game besides Lou, but I like the challenge of prestige stats completion and moving on to the next prestige guy. I have 63 of the 101 done. I am close to 5 more. Playing with the same God squad over and over again seems boring to me.

I'm fairly new to this and just started Diamond Dynasty during quarantine. When you say prestige stats, do you mean completing the missions to complete each prestige player program?

Also, what is dashboarding?

@abbyspapa said in Subbed in first inning every game:

Maybe you have performance bonuses in your contract based on defense or innings played and the teams are trying to save some dough? Lol

Haha.....that would explain it.....

You may be sol

I am new to this, so I may not be looking in the right place........

@the_dragon1012 Well, if that is the way it is, I say it's kinda dumb. If you are to pick two of the five, why wouldn't they just give you one pack and provide two choices?

Once midnight hit you can’t download until Tuesday

Understood, but where do I find the download?

It should be in your library

Thanks...found it....sorry to be such a novice

I'm sure this has been posted somewhere, but the XP points it shows I am receiving after a game or a mission aren't the same that are actually hitting my running total. It will say, for example, I am to get 3600 but I only get 3000; or I am to get 950 and I get 200. I'm not to the point of frustration of many. I understand sh-t happens. I'm just hoping that the company will realize the inconvenience it has cause to loyal players of this game and truly provide a worthy compensation, particularly rewards of games/missions that may expire. I'm not someone who plays hours and hours per day, so I don't have time to get cut off from the server or be shorted what I have earned.

Thank you.

@cmalz89_psn said in Extend 1st Inning:

The servers have been an issue, that is no secret. I’m not here to bash SDS for that (we all know they were unprepared). However, they need to extend the 1st inning program. A lot of us work 40+ plus a week, have a family/kids. We can’t sit down and grind for 8 hrs a day. So when we can play, and the servers are down, we have absolutely no chance of completing the program by the current end date. I don’t want stubs. I don’t want a refund. I just want to play the [censored] game!!

Amen. I posted something similar. I'm lucky to play 8 hours/week. But I want to get some form of compensation for missing XP and lost packs.

I have been asking for the DH for a few years. No matter what MLB does, the DH is needed in MLB the Show. Let's get this done. Simple change and GOOOO.

@the_bad_seed85 said in What does the icon above the batters box (when pitching) mean? It’s a circle with an outline of a guy with a red arrow/triangle in it:

It’s when the [censored] you are playing is holding r2 so you can’t pitch.

Really?

I couldn't get even get on last night....I tried over 2 hours and not once did I even connect.

@osimp8_psn said in Double Plays for Everybody:

Doesn’t matter who I play, who is hitting for me, where the pitch is located, or how good my timing is, anytime I get a runner on first i ground into a double play. I seriously had 6 (SIX) freaking double plays turned on me against the Fernanado Valenzuela Showdown boss... on Veteran. I think when Mike Piazza, Jeff Bagwell, Yordan Alvarez, Max Muncy, and Jose Abreu square up pitches with good timing they hit liners or home runs. NOT ground balls right to infielders for easy double plays. The hit timing logic is so bad. Hitting .200 with perfect timing and .125 with good timing probably.

I don't know. Fernando was well known for the ground ball. And as I have played, I haven't seen many pitches above the mid thigh.

@djeternal2_psn said in SDS: Can we get some answers....:

@x814xMafia_PSN I think I can answer #2. Unlike previous years where you earned stars specific to that inning we now earn XP which can't be differentiated between the innings. So once the timer has expired on an inning it and all missions/conquest maps/showdowns that are associated with that inning will disappear too. So we are now expected to get what we can in the allotted time period.

That's bad though. At least in the past, you could still progress through the innings as long as you did a good job on the dailies while they were active. I would have to think there is some way each inning continues. Not everyone plays the game for hours per day, so it's not fair to them, if that happens. If I play more than 6hours/week, it's a lot, but should I be penalized?

Also, I only see on first inning boss pack....how do you get the other two?

Finally, Is it true that the only way to get the other 6 legend 42 cards to complete the first inning mission is to buy them?

What he said!
