They've had to be silent a lot this year on social media. It's gut wrenching how often the police murder unarmed black folks while letting white 17 year olds walk towards them with a loaded rifle after killing 2.
Thankfully SDS is bringing it to your attention, even if your eyes are closed.
I've flamed a lot of silly posts lately, I'll let someone else get this one. After all, my kindergarten teacher taught me the importance of sharing, I'd hate to poo on someone else's parade.

You got a good one. I remember when the All Timer program came out my wife would constantly ask me "unlock Babe yet" and got excited with me when I finally did. Its the little things
My wife bought and tried her first Baby Ruth candy bar in honor of me getting the Babe (She's not from the states).
Although she used the gesture as a sign of solidarity in my quest for the Babe, I"m pretty sure she just wanted chocolate.
I've beat it 10 or so times for packs, he's not bad as long as you're ready for the fast stuff.
He only has two speeds, so sit fast, adjust to slow. I don't swing at the off speed stuff unless there are two strikes.
don't worry about jjsmith, he/she is a troll that can't beat showdown.
Right, 91 hits in one game, of course he boosted, and I'm thankful SDS banned him. Getting on here and complaining, when we can all see your game history is pretty silly.
Next.
I hope someday soon, Breadstick will return to bless us all with his zesty garlicness.
This was true at the beginning of the year, 80 was the threshold. Since then, all the patches and changes have altered that. I don't know if anyone knows the formula anymore (including SDS).

How long you think before it goes down? & what will it get too you think? Thanks for replies.
With my stub count, I look forward to using him in 2021 when he's an inning boss.
2019's Ty Cobb, praying we see his name in Thursday's stream.

Making prestige stats online only is one of the most poorly thought out decisions of the year.
Yup, we saw this [censored] in 17, boosting and dashboarding. That is the real problem here. Not that i condone boosting, because i do not, but SDS had short memory when they added online only stats back into the game.
It's strange to bust out the ban hammer for it imo.
I don't remember anyone getting banned for boosting online stats before.
And before all you mall cops come out of the woodwork, I don't boost.
They've been banning all year for it, this isn't new.
As with all things, just because you weren't aware, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
He’s talking about previous years, [censored].
"I don't remember anyone getting banned for boosting online stats before."
The word before means ever, it does not mean in prior years. If that's what he was talking about, he should have worked on his written communication skills.
As for calling me names, I think that lets us all know the amount of high level thinking your brain is able to muster. Tough break, but genetics is out of your hands. Keep your head up, I'm sure you have a nice smile!
Last year it was just Sig Series, but they kept adding new players to each round.
I wouldn't be surprised to see one or two more theme packs, as it sells stubs, but this is new territory for the game, so it's all speculation (From everyone that makes a comment on this topic).
Ruth isn't bad at all in RF. He's been as good as Reggie, and we survived with him in RF for months. I wouldn't use Stan anywhere but 1st, but he's my best hitter. If you don't hit great with him, go with what works for you. Everyone here will give you a different opinion, so just use YOUR best cards.
@Breadsticks21221 said in How many more THEME packs do you expect?:
Future stars choice pack maybe. Here is my idea for that: 50k for the pack. 3 round. 1:1 at base, 1:4 at mid, and 1:10 at elite (same as the DOTP). Jeter Downs 95 over (no bias at all...), 96 Drew Waters, and 96 Mitch Keller in the base. 98 Andrew Vaughn, 97 Julio Rodriguez, and 98 Forrest Whitely. Elite would be juiced because these packs cost 50k. Probably will all find a spot on your team: 99 Adley (switch hitting catcher with low 100's contact and power, diamond defense and 85-90 arm, and 60-70 speed, 99 Lux (high 110's contact, 90-100 power, diamond defense and can play short with diamond, 90 speed. Nate Pearson would have almost maxed H/9 and k/9 with 90 BB/9 and control with 100 stamina (will also have outlier and a slider, curve, changeup, and 2 seamer probably). That is my guess
I would absolutely love this idea. Make it happen Olive Stick.
@wingspan1985 said in Is Awards Stan serviceable in LF?:
Sorry to bring this thread back up, but I used Stan in a couple of the Babe moments, absolutely love his swing. He will take over 1B for awhile, Bags will be a bench bat.
Think I'm at 89/100 on Ruth, just have the NL game and the MLB game left. Will try Babe in LF.
Stan was one of the greatest hitters of all time, and usually, he's one of the greatest cards to use in this game every year. I'm glad you're enjoying him, he's a must have IMO.

It’s gonna be another brave player because we need more! There are only about 195 cards from that team
Just another John Smoltz...this time a 97 instead of 96 or 99
Welcome back bread stick, you were missed, at least by me.
We are open for takeout now! Apologies for being closed for 2 weeks so it is 20% off
20% off? Excellent! Now I can pay $45 for pasta I can easily cook at home for $3. All about that atmosphere, am I right?
Looking forward to that Tatis moment:
"With the bases loaded, in a 3-0 count, hit one HR while glaring at the pitcher. Avoid charging the mound. 8 points"

@jimjones9989 said in When do we get end game Griffey:
Whenever it drops, expect it to be BR or WS reward this year, as he was a free card last year.
He already had a WS reward card. Can't see them doing two Griffey WS rewards the same game cycle.
See I thought that at first also, but then they released 47 John Smoltz cards....
But Smoltz was released as a BR card and then a headliner card. Not two WS cards, two BR cards, or two headliner cards. There were different methods to earn each. There will definitely be a 99 Griffey, but it won't be a WS reward.
I hope you're right! The others have been ridiculously expensive this year.
Conquest is the fastest way to build an all diamond squad. I've done it that way on two alt. accounts. Takes about an hour to get all diamond (except bullpen).
I sold him for 6,800, can someone explain to me who in their right mind is paying that much for a free card?
Anyway, he doesn't have enough variation in velocity between pitches, he'll get lit up.

SDS treats the fans better than any sports gaming company. There’s no debate. Are they perfect? Far from it. Way better than EA and it’s no contest.
That's like saying John Gacy is better than Jeff Dahmer...because Gacy only killed his victims he didn't eat them too.
I disagree, solely because you can’t win a tournament running one play with a left handed punter at qb. I’m not gonna sit here and tell you there not on some bs at all, cause they definitely can be. Compared to EA though, it’s not close at all. EA has been that Midpack since MUT. SDS has only one definitive poo stain and that’s 18.
You actually exploited the biggest difference between DD..FUT..and MUT. In MUT and FUT you have to actually keep track of 11 players. In DD you control the batter or pitcher...the rest of it is just chance. Defensive fielding plays are pretty much given by the AI..or taken by the AI in the form of random errors.
So, imo, there is much more of a chance of the player behind the controller making a difference in the outcome in FUT or MUT. Because there are so many more opportunities offered with 11 potential players to control.
Also, why the cheesy gadget plays work. An opponent just can't keep track of all the multitude of potential plays that result in 11 v 11. So, if you invest enuf time and pay attention you can eventually design nearly unstoppable plays.
Possibly (and I speculate) why FUT and MUT have multi-million dollar tournaments and The Show has nothing like that.
It just isn't dynamically feasible to have a tournament where you, the player, do nothing more than swing at a ball..and the AI decides whether it's a hit or not Number one..it would be boring to watch.
I really don't understand what your trying to say here. I guess if you want to control your LF on a ground ball to first base, SDS can make that happen? The Show has huge tournaments too, maybe you just aren't paying attention. I've enjoyed watching all of the ESL tournaments this year, the twitch guys have been very entertaining to watch, certainly not boring.
Weird post, and apparently, not very well thought out either.
