You guys must be new to The Show.
Haha I remember the 'Ballin is a gold' thing, but it's never been as egregious as it is this year for me.
Well over 40 packs now without a single diamond.
And somehow still better than how Ballin used to be. They used to not even guarantee golds or even silvers.
Don't think it works anymore. Put it in, kept saying it was wrong, and then my redeem attempts were exceeded.

They had a card that cost around 5K with average luck in NBA 2K, and WWE 2K is currently screwing over its entire player base, not just My Faction, with their battle pass
Pay $150 for the most complete edition of the game, still have to go through a stupid battle pass to get the DLC we always got for getting that edition of the game. And they patch the method people were using to fly through the battle pass because "It's not the right way to play the game."
@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN said in Bad bunny:
I'm interested to see who they choose in the future. Taylor Swift, Metallica, and Foo Fighters have all basically said no. The pop / top 40 industry doesn't really generate mega stars like they did back with Prince / MJ. There's more of a shift toward viral online one-hit wonders (e.g. ABCDEFU). Billie Eilish and Sabrina Carpenter don't really have the resume for it yet (then again, did the Weeknd?) Any rock band past or present seems like a no.
Who's next?
But The Weeknd had "Blinding Lights", which would have been freaking great if there was a full crowd, and Billie and Sabrina have not had a juggernaut like that song was.

This Ohtani 2XBH moment can go watch season 4 of Arrow on repeat nonstop for 5 months.
I have to laugh. After reading this thread, I wasn’t looking forward to this moment.
For me, literally two swings and two homers deep to center field!
Now, the Beltran and Baldwin moments…ugh…. Those took a couple of tries.
About 30 minutes after I made my post I finished the moment.
That moment took me longer than all the others combined. Get on base two times with with Gunnar, blast 2 homers. 2 hits with one of them being XBH with Elly, and it's 2 no doubters.
This Ohtani 2XBH moment can go watch season 4 of Arrow on repeat nonstop for 5 months.
Wonder how SDS is gonna handle the impending lockout.

I'm still bemused that some are vehement advocates of DQ.
Any mode where there's no guaranteed final reward regardless of performance is bad for the consumer.
I think some people say they like it because they make money with it.
I mean these cards are still available right? Does DQ maps expire? Yet a player like Summer Sonny Gray is still being sold for around 100K which tells me that people just don't play the mode or otherwise the market price would not still be that high.
Yeah, it's obvious that people just aren't playing DQ. Why go through moments, showdown, and a game where you do everything asked of you, and you still aren't guaranteed to get the reward?
The Ultra packs are nice, and the 5 Chase packs is a great reward for winning it all, but the booster and championship rewind packs are annoying. Done all the mini seasons, so those cards do nothing for me or others who have done them all. Hopefully there's a choice in there for a Premier pack or something.
Wait, why do the Lords have 2 Tyler Holtons?
Let us have 2 of the same guy if the CPU can, and if the CPU using a pitcher drains that card's stamina on your team, and we have to use that Rafaela card.
Hit 2 homers with Rafael in his first 2 at bats, and can't even get on base with him since then.
Got both of them, deGrom in the standard one and took Ruth in the choice pack.
I have never been able to hit with Chipper.
Congrats, Beltran and Clemens are crazy good.

I love how they keep trying to give people free TA points....the data must really tell them everyone ignored TA (which is a shame). Just playing the game normally should've given you plenty of TA...yet everyone is crying about being short for some reason
My problem is the massive lack of rewards after the first set of Diamond rewards. You get All Star and Finest vouchers, but barely anything else. And after the Finest vouchers nothing till the finger icon.
@Dolenz_PSN said in Showdown - The Worst Mode In The Game:
Are we voting? If so then I choose Diamond Quest
Let's combine Showdown and Moments in a mode where even if you do everything asked of you, there's still no guarantee you get the reward.
Count me as not receiving it as well. Not even in my Spam folder.
@ref479ode_PSN said in Album for P5s:
There are so many 99s now and 75% I would never use that when you want to make a lineup change you gotta scroll thru forever.
Even just being able to "favorite" players and put them on a separate list would be nice.
NBA 2K has a lot of issues, and that's an understatement, but that's something good about it. You can favorite cards, so if they're not in your lineup and you go to replace somebody they'll be at the front of their position, or if it's somebody on the bench they'll be the first cards. They'll be ahead of higher ranked cards, no matter what they're ranked.
Would be great for the Show to do that, you gotta take out favorites to grind a card, would be great to have your favorites right at the front.
@Talkingben9558_XBL said in 'Spooky' 'any' CHASE Pack:
@TheGoaler_PSN
If every one of those packs has a chase player, the value of those players will tank and will be worth nothing anyway
It's the end of the game's cycle, cards should be getting cheaper.

@TripleH-4481_PSN said in The Player Count is Worse than Ever It Seems:
The extreme program design was the final nail in the coffin for the non elite players. So basically 99% of players have bailed based on this tone deaf decision by SDS.
Extreme has always been catered to the better players. Infact the argument could be made that with the repeatable PXP mission (never been there before) it is actually easier to complete.
Repeatable PXP for Extreme has been in the game for the last few Extremes.
They took away the repeatable mini seasons, which just ended my excitement for Extreme.
@TheBigPapa55_PSN said in Ways to Save Extreme:
Listen, a mini season would be nice LIKE WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST. Nobody is saying having something handed to you on a silver plate is the answer, but give us a little something other than DQ, moments, conquest, & showdown (and nobody plays events so that doesn't count).
Yeah, give us a repeatable mini season to do. It's gonna take time, what's the issue? Loved doing it last year with theme teams. Remember theme teams, where the captains weren't just for one team, they had different ones like Hall of Fame pitchers, Monthly Awards and Topps Now.
It's the end of the game's cycle, give us an easier way that will take some time.
