Rewarding good input more often will be awesome

All programs should be handouts like this, I need all the help I can get.

I wanted to try and catch up on content (I had not played since early September), I opened the game, saw the amount of programs I have to do and decided to turn my console off.

I don't care as long as the Dodgers lose? Go Mets!

Hello Jacky, how do you feel after game 4?

Pretty bad actually. But game 5 went the Mets way.

Dodgers in 6.

@Cubsfan217_XBL said in Yay! I have SEVEN wild card spots!:

I think SDS screwed up with the WC Slots . At launch of s3, they were already unlocked if ya had them from prior season and SDS didnt fix it. So instead they acted like it was intentional screw up imo and that's why we have these additional wildcard slots in season 3 to unlock for no reason...

Prove me wrong

CBrev confirmed that this was intended. The new 3 wild cards are for people who couldn’t get the previous four.

By the way I’m curious, what better/new idea do you have? Maybe an employee can read it and pass it along to the content team.

You have already quoted one...

It has been done before, anything else?

@dbub_PSN said in The worst idea:

Why do they have to resort to this? Like some of you said it's to cover up the fact that they don't have enough legends.

But its not. There are more than enough ideas where they could use even current players.

This is trying to do something "cool" and failing.

I’m not defending them for this, on the contrary I made my post to highlight how they shot themselves in the foot with the seasons model and now can’t find a way to recover from that.

They don’t have enough legends to support the current model, they are forced to give us the same cards over and over, so in a desperate attempt to make it “different” they went with OOP… I hope this means no more sets and seasons for future iterations of this game

I wish people would stop with this excuse.

Yes, they need more legends but I can easily come up with ideas for new series
The obvious one to me is for this time of year is to highlight players that had strong September/Octobers for playoff teams.

Every team has made the playoffs in the last 10 years.
Some quick research:

JD martinez hit .354 in September for the Tigers in 2014
David Dahl had 9 HR/27 RBI for Rockies in 2018
Starling marte with a > .400 obp for the Pirate sin 2015

The 2014 Angels would be the most limiting with the only feasible option being Trout (unless they wanted to give a rookie CJ Cron who didnt do much in Sept)

Can you tell me what’s the excuse I made?

This screams “I don’t want to pay for him to finish the LS collection”

This screams "stupid comment".

He's not even the most expensive LS card anymore. OPs post actually "screams" this should be the reality for the guy who hasn't played a full season since 2019...no im not including the covid year.

Well, you can include it. Covid was a shortened season anyway

@PriorFir4383355_XBL said in new next gen baseball game is coming!:

If you really believe that the graphics quality of MLB 24 is not significantly better than MLB 23, especially with respect to player faces and hair, then there is really no point in discussing this with you.

You can offer your opinion that it doesn't match up with other game titles, but that's not a comparison that others who have played those other games have related, with them saying MLB The Show is doing pretty well in comparison.

In regards to gameplay the Show is better than the other games, but visually it is stale and I can clearly see assets from the PS3/4. It's a visually dated game and that's undeniable.

Those PS3 flyovers are particularly disappointing along with those low res exterior stadium renders.

The show isn’t better than NBA 2K in terms or gameplay, I’m sorry but that’s just not true

@hoo_pharted_PSN said in friday drop = a weekend of no hitting , again:

yea , im still ps4 , im not buying a new system until i have to

And this is why SDS will never leave old gen behind.

I usually get quite a few at Shield Woods but not this weekend. The thank sweet baby Jesus I finally got 2 home runs with Willie McCovey, lol.

PTSD intensifies

That moment gave me an aneurysm. Every single time I stepped into one, I hit it directly in the 415 triangle.

You should try McGwire’s extreme moment. His swing is so bad that it took me forever lol

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X_PSN said in Ranked Record Question:

How can someone have a ranked record of 20-1; but still be in Spring Training?

Something's fishy.

Probably never played Ranked again since first ranked season and dropped in rating everytime a season started.

I’m sitting at 700 because I have not played ranked in weeks. Will probably be at 550 next season because I have been very busy lately, if that trend continues then I will go down to 400.

Should I be down there based on skill? Absolutely not but that’s how the rating system works.

@GoozeFn_PSN said in Gameplay:

@c_lawson3_PSN Basketball and baseball are very different sports. Getting a hit off bad timing and or weak contact in baseball happens all the time. A poor release on a shot in basketball doesn’t go in. Why is this always so difficult for people to understand? A realistic baseball game is always going to be frustrating.

They actually go in, it’s just very rare. Yeah, I agree with both of you. There has to be bad hits because that’s how baseball works but I believe it happens more often than it should, considering we’re talking about a videogame.

IMO, SDS need to find a good balance.

I think it’s preference thing. Track ball makes the landing area smaller as the fielding goes up tho.

Currently watching two idiots destroy the market for Gary Sanchez.

They dropped the price from 200,000 to 165,000.

@YankeeTroy_XBL said in Disappointing cards:

What is your most disappointing card of the year? Frank Thomas is mine. I hit 190 in 121 at bats.

Mine hasn’t come out yet, but it will be 99 Mickey Mantle

@hoo_pharted_PSN said in 100 mph FB in the shadows:

screw that new program

I got your solution for this moment, it’ll look ugly but it helps if you’re struggling

Go to console settings menu:

1- Accessibility
2- Invert colors

You’re welcome.
