@D_e_m_I_s_E said in First year playing DD now I'm hooked....:

You didn't luck into pulling those diamonds. It is a way to get first year players hooked. People that get a lot of diamond pulls tend to be:
Streamers - So the players watching can see the packs are "lit" and go out and by themselves. Also gives the streamers the best chance of being successful.

1st time players - To get them hooked. If you have a decent record, let me know how this plays out the next few years.

Bad players - To give them better players to try to help them out.

Now, you could not be in any of these and get diamonds but I think it is really rare. These are all marketing ploys which are intended to increase sales.

Why is everything doom and gloom with you?, the guy is excited about his team and enjoying the game, he asked the best way to make stubs and your response was to try and trample on any sort of joy this guy has.

we get it man, you don't like the game because it doesn't cater to you, or because of some grand deep state conspiracy SDS is plotting against you. Keep your negativity to yourself, or better yet just stay off these forums.

The best compensation they can give me is to fix these issues for good, I don’t really care for free cards if this is going to be a on going issue all year.

because you deserve better than their BS cash grabs, thank you for your service.

I haven't played this game in well over a week, I jumped on the other day to get some feedback on how the game was playing since the latest patch and it wasn't good feedback lol. Sadly I think this year The Show is going to be put on the shelf and used sparingly. I have no desire to play RS or events and thats really disappointing, was really hoping to enjoy this game all summer long. Anyone else having trouble finding the desire to play this game as much as they have in the past?.

I hope to see people realize there is a global pandemic going on and that SDS is not considered essential, nor should they risk their lives to appease a bunch of adult children.

Shouldnt have 100+ attributes at all, they are the main reason hitting and pitching have gone downhill, F*cks with the RNG too much.

If you think this game is bad and you think SDS is bad, you clearly haven't played an EA sports title.

Imagine altering your controller or buying a cronus zen for a game with literally no financial reward god I love the direction the world is headed

Some good entertainment in here

For those of you who have been saying “they said more user input” they have been saying that for 3+ years, don’t hold your breath

I love my Ps5.

I wish sony went the same route as Microsoft with the game pass, that really swung me to Xbox, I will still probably pick up a PS5 as well.

Haven’t seen much of him this year but oliver perez has given me nightmares for the last 4 years

Outlier is for the brain dead, worst addition to this game since the magical hanger when you throw to many secondary pitches and 100+ attributes.

His 97 is more than usable, in fact I use him in my O’s theme team.

Yeah I got the gold lights for my Scouting Report pack yesterday and pulled Nate Pearson. In the same pack I got a diamond glove.

Scouting Report packs juiced for everyone?

They did say on Twitter that we have a good chance at pulling a Headliner in the SR pack. I pulled an Eric Davis 2nd half hero, I think. I totally forgot

Wasn't he a player program and an event reward? His MS is worth 250k so nice if that's the case. I got an AJ Burnett prime. Easy 22k for nothing.

I double checked. It was a 93 SHH Biggio, not Eric Davis. Davis was a 1st Inning program.

Oh cool, I was like.....I'm missing a card!!!!!! .

I already can't get Alomar.

Alomar is only for us elite 1%ers, the plebs don’t deserve him.

True story, I started a month late which makes me peasant status. No Alomar for me.

If you started a day late you couldn’t get him haha, I think he was the 5th day reward or something and was gone the next day

My son and I are quarantined with Covid so decided to work together on our accounts to get Trout ( I had been in at drop and thought I had placed the 78th 1M buy order, but realized yesterday morning I had mistakenly placed one for 100,000 stubs ( ugh) and would have been about 2001 in line.

So we took turns playing on our accounts yesterday with me pitching and he hitting. We went about 9-3 roughly on eqxh account but the disappointing thing is a third the guys we are playing are WS banner guys with insane records tanking down in the 400-600 range ( these guys have lineups with averages between .350-.420 and 60-140 homers per player).

I get the rush to get Trout, but SDS should block these guys from playing RS on All Star once they hit WS as they are ruining the games for the guys who should be playing in this range to have a chance to earn wins. It’s a really Sh**ty thing to do.

Now in fairness, my son amd I can compete well enough to beat a few of these guys and we will wallow thru bouncing between 550-800 likely while we get our 30 wins, bit there are so many players that will have to play who knows how many games to earn the wins when you factor in them getting matched with these jack holes…I hope SDS figured a way to not reward these rank and tank players if they plan to keep the 30 win system next year.

I'm one of those WS guys in the 600s right now, I took a couple months off and it takes like 10 wins to get back to HOF. Just know that a lot of us don't intentionally tank

I know, my friend. I always check gamer tags after and can see the guys who are tanking compared to the WS guys who just saw their rankings plummet due to not playing for seasons.

It’s the guys with records of 22-21 and a bunch of 0-0 first inning losses this season and still playing in the 500s I am talking about and have seen multiple.

And to the guy asking why tanking is wrong, they have levels for a reason….but have fun destroying lousy competition so you can feel good about yourself when you obviously have the skills to be competitive at higher levels. ( play casuals on AS if you want to dominate with other line ups).

It's December. There isn't any noob competition left. I tank to play all my RS games in the 400-550 range, and I rarely match up against a truly new player like that. It's mostly other tankers and folks that are decent but are clearly on a TV.

Remember, RS ranking resets every few weeks. So every player in the game "tanks" at the beginning of every month, and new players have to play veteran players all the time. It's built in.

What's the big deal about building it into the game just a bit more?

Game was just on sale for 10$, it’s available year round on gamepass, there is always noob competition.

So if little Billy gets the game for 10 bucks and heads online with his starter team, I'm supposed to feel bad for shelling him?

I dont play call of duty cause I saw combat a long time ago and I don't care to relive it. But imagine if I bought COD right now for 10 bucks and headed into their online multiplayer.

I wouldn't expect to get a bunch of kills. I would expect to be killed over and over.

I would not imagine that the forums of COD would debate whether or not it was ethical for them to to shoot me the noob. Do they do that? I dont think they do that.

I just said there are plenty of noobs, I didn’t need an explanation of why you enjoy beating up on noobs.

Wait a minute. You say that you saw combat a long time again but you’re only 19 according to another post.

@jz2016cubs_psn said in Who Else Thinks The Lockout Is Going To Affect The Show '22?:

All the MLB and team websites have no indication of current players. therefore, I’m surprised they didn’t have to shut down the game or something. Because they’re making money on it. If the season is delayed, so will MLBTS22

Players rights and team rights are separate, and considering this whole thing is about money I can’t see either side giving up a pay cheque by asking SDS to shut down the game.

I’m worried. The last lockout was before my lifetime (feeling old yet?). What does this mean?? I want to watch my Tigers play in 2022.

The lockout in the words of Manfred “is to prevent what happened with the strike in ‘94, we owe the fans better than that”

Especially to those of us who were Expos fans, that strike was devastating.

I still think that was a conspiracy to rob a World Series from the Expos, wouldn’t be great if Canadian teams were winning all the championships. But seriously that ‘94 team was legit, the best that never was.

What about a better chance at pulling a jhonny diaz?

SDS should just release a special edition Diaz pack, get Diaz for a cool 100k in stubs

Boost his stats and give him a 99. 2021 market finest card. Or a buy now 2500 market milestone card

Milestone: 100,000 buy order’s card
