I very much doubt there is a free beach ball pack today. I doubt there is even a ducks pack but that would be the big pack they put in the shark map if they do.

There are 7 different diamond packs today. HRD 1 and 2, Prospect 1 2 3, Semi final, quarterfinal players league would be 7. But, I think they sneak something better in. Last years Shark map was epic, and included SS choice packs.

The SS pack wasn’t still in the store for initial purchase tho, the beach ball pack came out a few days ago. It’s not going to be free today so I wouldn’t be selling Hornsby until the shark map comes out and there is no Beach Ball. This guy just received horrible advice from almost every person lol.

Maybe read the advice I gave him first? I said I didn't sell my Robert, and I also posted that cards that are no longer available except through the market go up in value.

I pretty much just skip over everything you say after you said Pulse is the best pitching system to choose and you tried to play off those 0.000001 ERAs as online stats against HOF players. Good luck with Jack lmao

Weird comment. Almost 40% of the community has now switched to pulse, as it's the only accurate input this year. Maybe you didn't watch the last ESL league? I betcha those guys are just a tad bit better than you at the game. Or maybe, we didn't see your name in lights because your soooo good, you didn't want to show off?

Kershaw and Pudge are pretty much confirmed. Cobb or Foxx for the 3rd one (I'm taking this one, whoever it might be).

@wynsanity318 said in Half off packs till 9/9:

with way too many stubs and nothing that really interests me other than inning boss possibilities I can use a good few hundred pack opening

See ya later tonight when you post:

"SDS fix your pack odds! I just opened 200 packs and I got one gold! Stop stealing from us!"

@RedJeff83 said in so the 2nd clue for 8th inning boss:

I think it's Mookie.
Field and uni look like Boston. Also wearing nike. I know he wears jumpman in this years game, but he wore nike in 18

That was Torii Hunter, he is a player program. They stated that in the tweet.

Started a second account as I enjoy doing conquest and getting the packs. Ended up having great luck, so now I play with that one. That's made the entire experience fresh for me. But, I love this game, so I'm not having to decide between this, Madden, etc.

Got Trout and Arenado in back to back packs on an alt account a couple days ago. Sometimes you get lucky I guess.

lag and varied connections will always be a part of EVERY online experience, the technology just isn't there to avoid it. Head over to COD forums and watch people complain. "I saw him first, I shot him first, fix your severs".

If you decide to play ANY game online, that's part of the experience. It's certainly not the fault of SDS, or any other game developer, there are far too many variables for it to be their responsibility.

For what it's worth, online connections are far more stable on this game than they are for 2K or EA, those are almost unbearable experiences during high volume times.

Wrong. COD tried to fix those issues with ping based match making but there is only so much you can do in a game with teams of 4,6, etc. People want to play with their friends. You may have a 6 man team with pings of 20, 70, , 80, 110 130 and 135. COD BR plays a lot smoother solo because these variables are more controlled. The ping change in these teams can be dramatic which affects both teams. This can be controlled so much better in a 1 v 1 peer to peer setting than what SDS is currently doing.

"tried to fix", but they didn't, because they can't. Internet speeds are not fast enough to accurately reflect a millisecond difference in who shot first, when you swung, etc.

Go invent the next breakthrough in broadband, then you can stop complaining

Fix the issue, or accept it. Those are your choices my friend.

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!

@OreoRockstar said in So are we looking at the end of new BR and WS rewards?:

Our Show Historian has stated last year the last new BR rewards hit in September and the last new WS rewards in October. So that would leave 4 more new cards between the 2 ( unless the October WS is 3 weeks, so possibly could get 4 more WS cards)..

We have probably 9 more inning bosses with 3 hitting tomorrow...

Does that sound right or does it seem like there are still a lot of cards that need to be released?

You have 30 99 cards with TA 4, you will have at least 11 inning programs, you will continue to have headliners twice a week, and I expect at least one more big player program.

Showdown extreme, moments extreme, or conquest extreme.

If Finest are not a part of TA 4 (I think they will be), you will also have finest choice packs releasing over 3 or 4 weeks, with a big collection reward at the end.

You still have player of the month programs and tops now programs rolling out too.

2019's Ty Cobb, praying we see his name in Thursday's stream.

Praying with you, Amen. 8th inning boss please

They just released a clue on Facebook. Sure it doesn't give any helpful details, but I'm certain it must be Cobb.

I hope someday soon, Breadstick will return to bless us all with his zesty garlicness.

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.

Looking at your game history, it's pretty easy to see why you got the ban. SDS did the right thing here, don't boost again. Good luck when you get your account back.

If you've been playing since release, you should easily have over 1 million stubs and collections complete, NMS. If you decided to not do any of the player programs or TA's, well that's on you I suppose.

There is no reason to buy stubs in this game, it's been that way since I started playing DD.

2019's Ty Cobb, praying we see his name in Thursday's stream.

You can literally check out anyone who posts here's universal profile. If you think all these guys who have 800+ hours in the game work for SDS, you need to re-evaluate what you think developers do while they are on the clock.

Next.

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.

@abbyspapa said in SDS FIX MOMENTS MY GOD:

@Kovz88 said in SDS FIX MOMENTS MY GOD:

The main thing I ask for in moments is the ability to restart multi-game moments in game instead of having to go back to the menu.

This + stop making us hit as a pitcher in pitching moments.

Just bunt, one pitch and your done. I know it's a slight annoyance and adds a couple seconds to the length of the moment, but it's not the thing I would be dead set on complaining about in the game.
