@buttmuncher150 said in New 90+ live series prices.:

So judge went up to a 90 but he is still only 16K.
Do the diamonds that get upgraded to 90+ also go to about 100k or do they not go for as much.
Also. That will mean he is harder to pull?
If he is going to go up. Isn’t that a great investment?

No probably not because of the quantity available to the market.

85-89 is much more common than 90-95 LS pulls.

As a player reaches 90+ live series, his availability will slowly drop but the price will not steadily rise due to the lifespan of the game and the release of much better cards, and the desire for Mantle dwindles.

@PhillyRunt44 said in Luis Robert reviews?:

As title says looking for reviews on Luis Robert. My OF is pretty stacked at the moment with Blackmon, Ellsbury (trying to prestige), and prestige Bellinger. But, that power/speed/arm combo of Robert is appealing. Is he worth it?? Any reviews/input is appreciated.

I don’t have him but have faced him twice today, both times vs my lefties on hall of fame.

He hits the ball hard and he scared the s**t outta me whenever he came up. Seemed both times he was the only consistent hitter on each of my opponents respective teams so there’s that.

Hornsby would be my 3rd basemen if I had that liberty to choose. That would be one of those tough nut cuttin moments where I’d have to find somewhere for Didi.

Who do you have at short? I still have yet to replace Didi even with all the cards that have come out. My lowest overall player but arguably my best hitter.

I have Rollins at short

How are you hitting with him? He has enough pop for you?

In total it took me about 12 hours

@Buck_Mango said in Is 99 Nolan Ryan worth a shot?:

Thinking of selling hrd cano, fotf Dawson and the new gagne for him, yay or nay?

I pulled him and first ranked season game was on all star. My opponent also had him. I gave up 3 runs in the first. He gave up 2 runs in the first. He disconnected. Nolan's control is bad and he has 2 fast pitches and 2 offspeed. All you have to do is sit fb and react to offspeed. Lots of walks and pitches that float down the middle. He might be better on hall of fame but a good player will destroy him.

As a regular WS level player, that’s a lot easier said than done.

IMO he is worth it.

I took Ryan and bought Hornsby. I got Sheffield in left now, Hornsby at 3rd and my 89 CAP at 2nd since my 89 CAP catcher was replaced by Posada.

No worries about Sheffield though in left because of his arm and speed and Prestige Mantle in center to offset.

I just have the hall of fame games left. Haven’t used anyone yet that I’ve unlocked. But gonna knock out the hall of fame games tomorrow morning.

He’s dominate on legend. Hall of Fame and lower he’s very hittable.

It's not the stadiums alone. The opponent using potato internet is a bigger issue. Daytime events play like [censored] sometimes because of internet usage z especially during this pandemic.

I played an away game at ShitPit this morning. Worst lag I've had all year. Sure as ship wasn't the ballpark causing the performance issue.

That’s true too. But internet is something people have less control over.

I'm not choosing ShitPit because you don't have my areas internet. Once again, it's not the stadium.

BTW, 8 out of 10 games in MLB parks? I see 12 out 10 at ShitPit.

Guy hits 7 Solo HR at ShitPit. "Wow, I'm good".

Guy gives up 7 at ShitPit. "whatever, it's because we're playing at ShitPit. I'll score 8 next inning".

You don’t have to play at “ShitPit”. I have World Series runs at Green Mountain because it’s a very fair park without the fluke hits and home runs.

I agree you can’t have your cake and eat it too. But it’s definitely the stadium, and if it’s not just the stadium, it’s a very large factor. Internet is not an issue here in NYC and for the most park, SDS does a good job matchmaking you with other N.Y. players for example

@jonnydaman said in How do people still pick MLB parks online?:

I've played this game for a long time and I've heard people complain about lag in mlb stadiums for a while but if I'm being honest, I have never noticed the lag people talk about.

Can someone explain what i should look for? I'm having a hard time seeing it as a big deal if I haven't been able to notice it but it would be nice to have at least some idea of what to look for

It’s a stutter and drop in frame rate that I get in MLB parks because of the detail. It just doesn’t look smooth

@PennStateFencer said in How do people still pick MLB parks online?:

The average player has never visited this forum, doesn’t notice the lag/frame rate issues, and even if they did they probably didn’t connect it to MLB parks. They’re just trying to play a video game.

Then there is another small percentage of players that know about the lag / frame rate and simply don’t care because they want to play in MLB stadiums in an MLB game.

I understand the frustration, but trying to change what away parks you end up in by complaining about it here is equivalent to pissing in the wind.

I didn’t think my post would change the world in a second, just wanted to get my opinion out there, knowing I would be facing people agreeing with me and disagreeing me.

@hoboadam said in How do people still pick MLB parks online?:

I'll play anywhere I want, thank you. I purchased MLB the show, not fake stadium The Show.

People complaining about input lag because of stadiums have the ability to remove the rendering issues by changing their POV when pitching or hitting.

I'm not a great player. I don't care to be. I'll NEVER blame my lack of performance on a MLB stadium like so many "elites" do.

The elite hitters are staring at a strike zone across the entire screen. Don't matter what stadium you use.

When pitching, if you think you are lagging or unable to control your timing because of the stadium, blame the RNG, not the ballpark.

I agree with you wanting to play in your stadium of choice. If it was fair, I would play at Yankee Stadium (my team) or PNC Park (prettiest ball park) all the time. But unfortunately, you can’t blame RNG when there’s literally performance issues as a result of MLB stadiums hindering your performance.

I never complain about losing as a result of something else, just what I could have done different or better. But when playing in this event and consistently seeing MLB stadiums and for whatever reason being away like 8/10 times, it’s frustrating to see the performance drop, and then to hear people claim the game is broken.

@ayman718 said in How do people still pick MLB parks online?:

any stadium is better than fugly shippett

Then play at Green Mountain, Riverboat, All American, even Date Palm. At least there, you’re rewarded for PCI placement and smoother gameplay.

@SevisonJN said in How do people still pick MLB parks online?:

Are you saying that the mlb stadium responds slower because the environment is more detailed? If so, you expect most players to grasp that when picking a park? I think they should be able to pick any park offered and have the game function as close to offline as possible. SDS has the right to not offer the park, to not make it as detailed or to offer stat grinding offline verses only (even if they increase the requirement). I just don't see this as a user issue as much as a performance issue.

They should be able to. But unfortunately, that is not what happens this year. If you want to play competitively, and have a fair-ish outcome, play in any other MiLB or spring training park.

This is in fact a user issue as a result of a performance issue. People want to come on this forum and complain that they’re not rewarded for their PCI placement, yet a lot of the time it’s due to the park they’re playing in.

I hate the fluke hits in Shippet, but honestly I use shippet all the time because of the fact I feel rewarded for good pci placement. This is an SDS issue, a PS4 hardware issue, and a user issue for not picking a stadium that balances it out.

I mean this far into the game’s life cycle and people still choose mlb parks online with the lag and FPS drop, then have the audacity to complain that the game is broken with hitting.

That is all.

Not with his swing

I think im gonna rip a couple packs, sell whoever I get -- and then spend the next week playing Last of US 2 knowing that all the Ducks prices are gonna be down by like 30% by next weekend when the next program drops.

Tlou 2 got some bad reviews. I pre loaded it and played soon as they opened it up. On the pro with a good 4k tv the game is beautiful and the story so far didn’t disappoint

TLOU2 haa been slammed for their trash storytelling. I wont ruin it for u but if you expect TLOU greatness then u will be disappointed.

Wait are you saying TLOU franchise has bad storytelling? Or preliminary reports are that TLOU2 storytelling is trash compared to TLOU1

TLOU is a classic game great storytelling. TLOU2 is a disappointment with trash storytelling.

Literally a dude hating who hasn't even played it.

First five hours have been solid, we'll see.

I think he said he played it. But good to hear your opinion that’s it’s solid. I’m gonna wait on playing it cause I’m hooked on DD right now
