I wanna get this Zach Britton SO BADLY.. but it is so hard to grind Ranked seasons in the game current state...

Fielding is a nightmare, pitches are still being hung left and right, good/okays everywhere... Seems like no matter what, I am always winning 2 then 1 lose cause I let 3 runs in cause Mickey Mantle didnt lock on...

I wanna have fun and this game had SOOOOOO much potential but it is so so so frustrating when there are GLARING ISSUES the devs need to fix.

I get it as well, lots of the guys arent in the office and people arent able to work properly... but the more and more these problems go on, the more peoiple just wanna give up and not play...

Before anyone says anything about me being Gold 1, I know. I have no life... I am stuck inside on lockdown and I am playing the S*&^ out of this game... ANYWAYS!!

Lineup looks like this:

C- 99 Biggio
1b- 92 Giambi
2b- 99 Ryne Sandberg
3b- 91 Nolan Arenado
SS- CAP
LF- 89 FOF Soto
CF- Trout
RF- FOF Matt Olsen / Joey Gallo

I am thinking I can go Posey and move Biggio to the OF... OR I can get Reggie and keep Biggio behind the plate. I have 0 interest in Larkin since my CAP is amazing and Minnie just seems to lack that power... Thoughts? Have anyone used Reggie and his defense is acceptable? Thats my only worry with Reggie... Defense.

Thanks for the response in advance and stay safe, you guys!

A Flippers dream and an exchange beast.... idc about those stats... its alllll about the stub benefit from this card

@turtleopolis said in Who do I go with at Gold 1?:

I feel like I’ve played a lot and I’m only bronze 86... did you do the entire live series collection or just the AL?

Just the AL and some of the NL... I grinded A LOT of Showdown, did all of the collections (besides the live series ones obvi), and won 100 Event games... Like I said, I have no life rn lolol.... Been playing everyday since the early release as well. Grinding for FOF players and showdowns give you a bunch of XP as well. Its not too hard. Just gotta be in your house 24/7 LOL

I mean the amount of Good/Okays and poor PCI feedback... combined with the fielding issues... how is Legend is playable or enjoyable??

I have got into WS every season in 19 and in 20 so far. In 19 and even this year, I was able to climb the ranks and work into top 200 and above... Legend last year was doable, not great, but doable....

THIS YEAR?!?! The enormous amounts of Good/Okay contact, the poor poor fielding issues, AND the fact I see Kluber out of the bullpen or starting every game... Honestly, it just makes me want to quit my Legend games and go play on HOF. And I mean even HOF has its issues... but I feel like HOF is dobale to play and grind for Prestige stats.

ALSO not to mention, there is only one way to do Prestige grinds for cards like Chipper, Didi, Han Ram etc.... so you are forced into playing RS... and it is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE (unless you are incredibly skilled with your PCI) to grind these stats playing on Legend. Seems like you get maybe a few solo shots here and there.... It just takes FOREVER on Legend.

The fact that I am FORCED to play RS to grind ANY type of Prestige stat is horrible for my mental state and for the game... there NEEDS to be another way besides banging my head into a wall playing RS every day...

Well thank you for the heads up sir.

I bought about 117 of these for 340 each... Even if I dont make stubs, 65 of these get me a FULL Stage worth of exchanges... that's 22k for A WHOLE STAGE! That is a price we haven't seen since the first Stage when prices were super low

You can't use it towards collections?

Already done the entire AL. Only Live Series that would help me anymore are those three.

What if you pull one of the cards you need? Im not getting this post lol

I know I'm confused

IM SO MAD I AM GETTING A FREE DIAMOND AND I NEED ONLY 3 OF THEM AND I AM PISSED SDS WTF MAN FREE DIAMONDS??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

With Outlier??? Dude is BY FAR the best lefty arm in the game... I mean as a Yankees fan, these new WS Rewards are fantastic!!

@ComebackLogic said in It gets to tiring grinding Ranked Season...:

If you found an exploit that gave large amounts of stubs or XP in a short period of time, there would be a patch tomorrow. They only patch the things they actually care about. The long period of inactivity during which they claim to be monitoring data while we suffer every year is becoming quite predictable at this point. I don’t expect these issues to be resolved until mid-late May, based on the fact that fielding was broken until the second week of May last year and there were no additional restrictions in place due to COVID-19 at that time.

Thank you for logically responding. Well, I guess I will just play Valorant or something until then and just get my stub count up. Cause everytime I try to sit down and really try to grind, it always ends up raising my blood pressure and makes me wanna cry.

Hot Trash Nothing gets me going like playing a 17-15 game in Shippet with common pitchers, spending over 40 minutes on a game, using all my pitchers I have in my bullpen, ONLY TO GO 2-0 ON THE RUN!?!?

How am I suppose to string together 12 wins for a diamond? Let alone 9 for a gold... It legit makes 0 sense to make games 6 innings with such HORRIBLE pitcher OVRs??? Its a HR derby, takes just as long as a RS game and its a total RNG fest. Fielders not locking in, Good/Okays on 64 OVR pitchers are warning track shots... After 3 games took me about 1 hours and 30 minutes, a 2-1 record, I have 0 desire to grind this event...

PLUS there is 0 stat grinds. I wanna get my Prestige cards, my Oswalt, Biggio, Han Ram, so on... and this Event helps me accomplish NONE of that... I cant even do inning grinds cause half my TA's are maxed at 70/70... Legit, I am playing these HR derby event games for what... a Silver player pack at 10 wins? A SINGLE Gold pack at 20 wins? Oh wow wait wait... at 35 wins, you get 5 PACKS!!!! WOOOWW!!!!

I can make SO much more stubs, get so much more XP, get TA fans by playing Showdown and get my prestige cards playing Ranked Seasons.

Maybe something will change soon, but honestly, I will just save my energy, flip cards, and get Bohm when he drops down to a better price...

It makes me wanna cry the amount of Good/Okay contact I get in this game. It genuinely feels like, unless you are getting weak hits or Perfect/Perfects, you are getting out.

When you hit Level 65 Prestige, you get that nameplate... which is GREAT for me cause I have the other 3 and god knows I aint going 12-0 in BR LOL

@bjd10048842 said in 78 Manny Machado Event Reward....:

I'm going yo go buy some lol, so anything under 370 is worth buying?

Yes. Somewhere around 350-380... people were selling me some for 335 right when the event went live and people were just throwing him away... I always say, never under value these high silvers and golds... they end up going WAY up in price later on

@NDStew_32 said in Division Showdown Question:

Yep I knocked out 5 of the AL W and Gallo/Ohtani are on the squad for 0 stubs spent

Dont you have to pay to do these?

you get the 1000 stubs back just playing thru it plus free packs and XP

I understand that people may not like zone, but trust me. If you wanna be good at the game and compete at the high levels, you NEED to learn zone hitting. Once you start facing people on HOF and people who know how to locate pitchers, hitting will be a nightmare.

Also guess pitch was the worst thing they ever could have done for DD. Leave that to offline play. Guess pitch has no place in online DD.... what are we doing, trying to be the 2017 Astros??? Bang bang... OOP! I know what's coming... give me a break lol

Some of us cannot stand using that silly PCI. Seeing that thing on your screen 200 times a game drives me NUTS. Guess what else? Real MLB hitters are able to guess pitches. This change is ridiculous.

Wait wait... so you are telling me Real MLB hitters can predict in their minds what pitch is coming and have that confirmed by an unknown source???? Hmmmm.... is the year 2017? Is it also the World Series?? Are you also on the Astros??

Give me a break... Guess pitch is for people who have no clue how to play MLB. Use guess pitch in your head. Know the pitchers tendencies. Understand, ok. It's a 2-0 count and imma sit fastball and he likes to throw it up. Sit on that. Be a smart intellectual baseball player. Not just some bot who is like "BuT ThE GaMe DoEsNt LeT Me GuESs ItS A fAsTbALl".... use your game knowledge.

Unless you have none then good luck, Smile

@Tommy2wotone said in Pence/Amir/May?:

These aren’t cards that will be available to anyone. They were cards made for the mlb players in the tournament and for them only

Yes, this is a 1/1 card. Only made for that player's account... More then likely no one will ge these cards in the future

Legit the only reason I am playing this is to practice against Kluber on HOF for RS... and other pictchers of course... but so far, 3 games in... 3 Klubers going 3 innings and only 4 hits from my opponent LOL this is such a joke

Who do I have to Paypal to get my Good/Okay's to go for homers and hits? Maybe CashApp? Does SDS accept gift cards? I got a $50 one to Red Robin... plz... anything for mine to drop for hits...
