So you guys don’t go on cruises to the Bahamas since you don’t get to bring the boat, islands or babes back with you?

Do they become worthless at the end of the game cycle? Yes....But speaking as someone who has lost a parent & a child I’ll just say this...Live every day as if it could be your last. Allow yourself to splurge on things that you enjoy & make you happy because you just never know what’s around the corner.

Rip 200 packs. Start finishing collections while buying and selling dupes for market spread.

Buy another 50 packs. Rinse repeat dupes.

Wake up Saturday and fill in the blanks. Collection reward unlock. Grab a heater and a cup of Joe.

Regret your $1,500 spent a month later when the collection rewards hit the same as silver cards. Cry to your wife when you can't pay rent, call mom and dad for money.

Sounds like the life! LULZ

No hate though, we love you in the community. You fund the game while everyone else ends up with the same record, same rewards, and same experience for free. Thank you for your donations sir, your homeless children sacrificed a TON for our enjoyment.

Ok, First of all...Why do people come up with the notion that players who choose to spend money on the game are spending their last dollars remaining in their bank account & that this transaction will lead to them being homeless? Don’t you think it’s far more likely that $1500 is just not a big deal to them?

Second...Time is money. If you have 12-15 hours a day to grind & go the NMS path then awesome...Not everyone does. I only get to play 2-3 hours at night. But I love baseball & want to play with the fun cards & am comfortable financially so I spend some money so I can maximize my playing time doing what I enjoy the most which is ranked seasons. Personally I get real bored real quick playing the cpu - That’s just me. I also don’t find it fun working the market. I just want to sit down, Play a couple games with a fun squad before I go to bed.

You do you Lucas but it’s extremely ignorant to come on here and be a condescending [censored] to someone just because they choose to build their team a different way than you built yours. Be better.

Of all the legends revealed so far...No legend has gotten me more excited than seeing the legendary corn field from Field of Dreams now in the game. I am beyond happy about this. Thank you SDS.

DD is much better than MUT. The Show doesn’t have the scam that is training. No chemistry nonsense & no time sucks like weekend league. This game will be like a breath of fresh air for you.

I think it will be easier in the lower levels stacking up wins but once you get to 800+ you’re gonna be playing other good players so it won’t be any easier than previous years to make WS.

I was always NMS until last year when they made Mantle the reward. As a Yankees fan I had to have him ASAP & didn’t want to wait until August to finally get him the NMS path so I dropped $1300 day one to get him. Mantle was that player for me...Who is it for you?

ps...If your answer is nobody then just don’t comment, This is just for a little fun discussion.

I’ve been stuck at 885 for 5 years so why not lol

@asocial_grace said in What player would the live series collection have to be to get you to drop $1000 day one?:

At first I used to think it was crazy that people would spend hundreds if not thousands on one year of the game... but it all depends what you get out of it. If you play 1,000 hours a year of MLBTS and truly enjoy it, then spending $1,000 is actually cheap, safe entertainment. Few fun things in life cost $1 an hour.

And for some people, they can say “I earn X dollars per hour at my job, and grinding would take me 100 hours to get what I want... isn’t it just cheaper in a time/money perspective for me to buy stubs and skip the grind?” Which yeah, it very well might be.

As you said, life can be short and nobody is promised anything. Just do what brings you enjoyment while you’re here. I like the feeling of grinding out a reward, but everyone should find what works for them and not worry so much about what other people do or don’t do.

I’m sorry you lost a child man that’s horrible. Praying for you and your family dude. Spend whatever TF you want.

Personally there’s no real player to make me spend 1000 I just play it by ear. Last year I dropped like 400 but I felt it not to be worth it because the stubs and the cards were pretty easy to get.

Thanks man, Appreciate that.

That’s just it, I had never spent money before last year & am not planning on spending any this year. It was just last year because it was the Mick...That was the only player that made me say F it, Let’s do this! lol....Because I do enjoy the grind, But last year I HAD TO have him ASAP. I just thought it would be a fun topic to see who that player is for everyone else but apparently I’m the only guy lol

You guys realize this is a troll post right!!!! First off, he brags about the fact that he can afford to drop a grand on a video game digital card that has no intrinsic value after the game cycle ends. Then he gets personal with a bunch of strangers and feels the need to share info that you wouldn’t normally share with someone other than a close personal friend or family member. Come on, am I the only person that see’s this??? This is classic narcissistic behavior and all you guys are doing is feeding his ego.

I don’t see how you feel I’m trolling. My original post just said that I was always no money spent until last year when Mantle was introduced & that he was literally the only player in history that could get me to dip into the bank account. Then I asked who that one player is for everyone else...Just thought it would be a fun discussion & to hear all the unique answers.

And yes I got personal, Sure I did...I find it’s alot easier to talk to people about life things when we’re all anonymous & there are no walls or fronts to put up.

Sorry if you think I’m some kind of troll, I assure you I’m not.

@ministro787_psn said in CAP Positions:

Has anyone figured out or is able to explain how the CAP works this year?

Been trying to figure out how to make mine a Catcher and can't figure it out...

Go to loadout and change his type like slugger is 1B it tells you position on the top right of the archtype you start with 1B, CF, SP, and Catcher

This helped me turn him into a catcher finally...THANK YOU.

Now, How do I grind him? lol, I can’t find anything

I love the next gen gameplay. The game play is stunning & absolutely gorgeous. I also love the online gameplay, It’s been very smooth & hasn’t had the usual lag as past versions have. I love that contact hitters matter again. Basically game play is an A+ in my opinion & I’m having alot of fun playing the game.

I hate the navigational menu. It is not user friendly at all. I feel like it takes me 5 minutes to find what mode I’m looking for. I had to ask people where the daily challenges were located & it took 4 people before someone figured it out. It’s just not a well organized & easy to work setup.

I also hate the CAP or whatever it’s called now. In the past I’ve always gone & setup my CAP as my catcher & got him fully equipped & started grinding. This year I still haven’t figured out how to change it from a 2nd baseman to a catcher & nobody seems to know either so I’m just not gonna use the CAP this year.

Final thoughts...If they could put The Show 20 navigation & CAP with The Show 21 gameplay you would have the perfect baseball game.

Rookie is tough...You gotta just fight through it, Once you get to the All-Star levels it’ll feel better. Patience man.

Disregard...Another friend showed us. Thanks anyways.

It’s apparently just an Xbox issue...When you are on the option to turn off cross play and press the A button, It refreshes the screen & makes the noise but is NOT turning it off. Two of my friends checked and it’s doing the same thing. Please fix this so we can just play fellow Xbox people.

@born2bewild007_psn said in How do you make your RTTS player a 2 way player in DD?:

He is a 2 way player for me in RTTS and I have him in my DD lineup as a position player but see no way to also have him pitch.

You have to change the loadout to a pitcher loadout before the game starts. He cannot be a fielder and pitcher in the same game of DD

How do you change your Cap from the default 2nd baseman to a catcher?

@rabid55wolverine said in Ballplayer:

When you go to your loadout, hit square. Not sure what it is on Xbox. That will bring you to the program chain

Yeah, I’ve pressed every button & nothing changes. Thanks anyway bud.

@raider52morrison said in How do you turn off crossplay?:

why would you turn it off? 80% of the ppl playing on Xbox right now are probably 1st time players. A lot of easy wins.

Everytime I’ve been matched up with a PS player, I’ve been bunted to death. I’m just done with it & want to play a normal baseball game.

@dewrock_psn said in How do you turn off crossplay?:

You go to my player in the upper left and it’s to right of your player when he comes on screen.

That’s where I saw it but I can’t figure out how to turn it off.

I can’t figure out how to use my CAP or change him from 2nd baseman to catcher. Getting really annoyed at this [censored]!!!
