@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

Might be the worst collection reward card ever. Collect all the Dodgers and padres for a pitcher without an offspeed pitch in a game where timing and pci placement are optional.

LS reward this year are a huge disappointment in general. Randy and mussina are great, but frank is a bench bat, clemente has a love it or hate it swing, young has horrible power, glaus is Jack of all trades master of none, Gwynn has power in the 30s, gibson and grady are already replaced, keuchel is good, but people are beginning to hit him. The rest are of corse not great, prince fielder never gets a good card and he suffers from the abundance of first baseman.

Edit. Forgot about Utley, Utley is a win.

The game as a whole has been underwhelming this year, but at least Ridin’ dropped his rosters so I’ll get some use out of it.

What/who is that? A roster for franchise?

Yea, RidinRosters…been around for years..make’s playing franchise mode fun. They will release one after the upcoming draft to include those prospects and another after the trade deadline. It’s a nice change from the DD grind.

Nice do they release sliders as well?

Never really looked into it but maybe, I typically use the default sliders and make slight adjustments to the trade frequency and injury frequency but not too much more than that. With all the players not clearing 100+ attributes the game plays much better IMO and doesn’t seem to need much tweaking on the sliders side of it. If you’re interested just look up RidinRosters on the gamertag search in the rosters vault.

@beatlesnews_psn said in Friendly quit?:

So I’m in an event game and leading 1-0 and my opponent asks for a friendly quit which I gave him. I figured because it was a friendly quit on his part that I would automatically win. But that didn’t happen. The game records were not saved. What should I have done?

Rejected it and hit the next batter in the head.

3 pitchers were snubbed for the atrocity that was Rick Porcello's Cy Young in 2016

I remember that year. Britton was a leading story all year, ended the year only giving up 4 runs the entire season. Curious who you thought the 3 snubbed pitchers were. I would say verlander and britton for sure. who's your 3rd? Kluber?

Yeah Kluber. Sale might even have been a better choice than Porcello. It's I'm fairly certain the only time in the history of CY young voting that someone that had more than 1 or 2 less 1st place votes won. Verlander had 14 first place votes to Porcello's 8. Thanks to 2 AL east beat writer losers that left Verlander off the ballot to give Porcello a chance

I can't stand baseball writers. So much of baseball is truly beyond me. Unathletic writers controlling awards and turning the HOF ballots into popularity contest and rumor mills, fans voting for the all stars, the top 2 teams having higher salaries than the bottom 2/3 of the league combined. Crazy game that somtimes feels like it hasn't adapted to the modern age imo.

Baseball is slow. The game is slow. Any changes, no matter how much sense they make are slow. Even something as simple as netting down the lines in the stands took years. Financially these top market teams make these bottom 2/3 payroll teams profitable. So the owners aren’t in a rush to change that. Don’t even mention a salary cap. That’s taboo.

League needs a Salary floor. The whole small market/big market nonsense is just an excuse for owners to be cheap. There is no such thing as small market teams in anything but baseball

@dolenz_psn said in Explain to me like im 5...:

Seems to be another case of when a player is overperforming in comparison to previous years then fans want to ignore the previous years and have his card be entirely based on this season.

When a player is underperforming in comparison to their previous seasons then fans want to discount this seasons totals and point to how good they were in past seasons.

But when a player shows up on time for a game he gets a 90+ Topps Now card

At first, I didn’t mind the crazy diving plays this year. But after an out of position player makes one, yeah this needs to be fixed…but probably won’t be

Incredible how easy it is to make diving plays. Whoever implemented this can go kick a large rock

They need to go pound sand. I wonder what they were thinking when they did the work to add this into the game.

It's pretty safe to assume that it wasn't put in on purpose lol

True. But did they not test it? I mean it’s pretty obviously broken and I would think a short amount of time testing the feature would show them it’s broken

The problem is, in trying to fix this, they will break fielding all together.

I know I’ve posted about sinkers a few times, but I was wondering if anyone else feels similarly. I guess most people who do stopped playing, but in the last 3 or 4 years the pitch has just made the game extremely unfun. You can sit on the pitch, know it’s coming inside, and it’s still unhittable. Every game now is just a 3-2 sinker fest with unrealistic sinkers flying all over the zone. Used to play a lot and be World Series, now I can barely play a game without being completely burnt out. Clearly they have no intention of fixing it. Oh well. Guess the few times I play will be RTTS

I am not the greatest player but I don't have that much of an issue with them , any issues I do have I blame on the user - I swing at everything lol - You have to learn to hit them - under is a pop up on top is a grounder - you have to square it up and go with it , trying to pull an outside sinker is a very low success rate.

It’s just tough because unless you know for sure it’s coming, it looks like offspeed and then cuts armsife like it’s a slider

So basicly you mean tye same issue real baseball players have with picking up a sinker gamers have the same issue....mhm how bout that

We just going to forget about the last two years of high sinkers being OP?. Could have sworn this forum was littered with posts about it in ‘20 and ‘21.

@genopolanco_psn said in Halladay and Friends progress after the weekend:

I’m at 200k I think. Just hit the first 5 pack bundle after Halladay.

I’ve done the conquest, finished a mini seasons I had halfway done already, I’ve only done the pitcher PXP missions. The rest is ranked and I banged out the mystery map a few times and some vs CPU games for PXP grinding.

Mini seasons is really great for large chunks of XP.

Beating up on the Orioles for a few vs CPU games is good for about 10k+ xp a game

@danh35_xbl said in Love the new patch:

It has nothing to do with the patch. Veteran is the worst hitting difficulty in the game.
