@PAinPA_PSN Let me search specificly for east coast games & not match with people in the DR. I lost my 1st game last night to a laggy game from a dude in the DR. I just want to play smooth ranked games but that's not possible

Your solution would effectively make it so DR/Korea/Australia/etc would struggle to find games online and effectively lock them out of online program

If they give us a connection strength icon I’ll be happy to back out from poor connections. Let the dudes with bad internet play against each other

They had this problem before with Tatis and Elly, don’t know why it’s taking so long to apply the same fix.

Coby Mayo, not sure if he is underrated.

They’ve made the event a pointless stat grind for people who don’t want to or don’t have time to play 9 innings. They’ve made BR a goon only mode because there’s absolutely no reason to play it if you can’t go 10-0.

Yep they messed these two modes up imo. I really don't understand the reason behind getting rid of the rewards for Events. I never really played BR but it was similar for rewards too yes?

Events was my main stub method. They nerfed me, I don’t understand the thought process either, it sucks but it is what it is.

.pack drop rates seem even worse than last year

We now have the explicit pack rates down to the player. This ones in your head.

Really so are most of the hitting ones, game feels the same to me.

But I agree with Dolenz that the CPU defense seems better while ours is...not. Even considering the overall slower speed there are far fewer infield hits (not a complaint really, last year was too many) and the outfielders get the ball in a LOT better than last year. CPU catchers are thankfully still [censored] at throwing runners out

They changed the pack odds to 1:8 for the last few months of MLB TS24, since it’s a new game it’s reverted back to 1:50; this is why it feels worse.

Smoltz and Schmidt gone is a blessing. Hated the 6 Smoltz yearly cards nobody used, same with that 99 Mike Schmidt, nobody used him either.

@kcslayer66_PSN said in No RP warm-up ?:

How about manage a bullpen? This isn't RBI baseball '92

I see where this is going, we’re done here.

@kcslayer66_PSN said in No RP warm-up ?:

Seems like a strategy dumb down and accommodate the people who bunt dance after a small pause.

They reduced the pause timer, that’s why they changed the warm up feature. To help people manage their timer better.

I don’t see what’s the problem with this.

@The_Joneser_PSN said in Is there a quick way to see opponent defense while batting?:

Thank you both! For the question and the answer… I was just wondering how to do that.

You’re welcome.

Yes, press R2, then press R3 (Push right stick).

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?
