In my opinion most of the people in this community are good people. They're here to help you, and here to interreact with you on a positive level. Sure there's a handful of people that are jerks, but overall this is the best community for sports games.

@PaullyG24 said in Hey SDS We’re Not Laughing:

It’s seriously unbelievable. A 100% probability that in a showdown, if you have a runner on first and swing the bat, swing anywhere even, you will ground into a double play. It’s not even funny.

Anytime I get a base hit in Showdown, I'm like [censored] here comes the double play, and even if you get another hit, and have two men on base. The next batter hits into a double play.

SDS. Now that it's September 1st, can you please stop with the daily missions that are common or bronze. I would greatly appreciate it.
Yes I know you can skip them, but it seems like I get them often.

The biggest issue I have with moments is not getting anything to hit. Spending 25-45 minutes trying to hit one HR on Veteran just flat out sucks. Then when you finally get a hold of one, the CPU outfielders turn on their Go Go Gadget legs and arms, and catch everything. The multi game missions need to let us go straight into the next game, no reason for us to go back to the menu.

I'm horrible at hitting. There is absolutely no reason to reward me for my awful hitting. It's okay if I strike out. I'll get better the more I play online.

I started playing DD in 2017. I tried my best to collect all the live series cards. Came close in 19. Finally collected the live series cards in 20. I didn't spend a single dime of real money. I just learned how to flip cards, and got lucky with a few cards in packs. I needed Degrom to finish the collection. I had 100K he was selling for 159K. I went through my card collection, and sold duplicates to get the extra stubs.

"On the warning track"

I would imagine this forum alone makes Victor drink every night.

Like Catman9186 said you have to be patient. Don't swing at the first two pitches. I try to not swing until I have two strikes on me. I've noticed if you swing at the first pitch 9 out of 10 times it's an out.

The Rockies always give me trouble. They especially Blackmon hit against the shift,
The Padres give me trouble as well.

For those of you who play MLB The show on the Xbox.
If your game crashes or freezes, I think I found a simple fix.
Take the batteries out of your controller and plug it into the Xbox console. I've noticed since I did that, I haven't had any crashes or freezes.

I use to play conquest games on rookie. I was scoring 1-2 runs a game.
Switched to All Star I'll put up 5-7 runs a game.
I agree with you on the enlarged PCI on rookie.

@dirty-shawnchez_psn said in Can I buy stubs off AHMLB for xbox one and not get banned?:

I'm just curious how they aquire the stubs that they sell at a discount. Seems fishy to me.

People sell their stubs/coins to these websites.

But the conspiracy theorist in me, says SDS, and EA work with these websites, and it helps get people banned.
But on the other hand, there's people who post MLB The Show videos on YouTube, and promote stub selling sites.

When you first load DD, it ask you to pick your favorite team. I think it would be cool the first couple of packs you open up are from your favorite team. I'm not saying Gold or diamond players, but start out with some bronze and silvers from that team.

Ladies and Gentlemen, don't be so hard on SDS. The game is new.

@washednd_psn said in PCI overhaul:

They need to let people just strike out and miss the dang ball.

They do, I strike out probably a 10 or more times a game.

Glad I'm not the only thinking, [censored] please don't make this moment to complete.

@lazy_toast_psn said in RIB Showdown:

Skubal gives me more trouble than Fernando. Go figure

He doesn't throw strikes. He throws that slider away. You just have wait until he throws one over the plate.

@argentin32_xbl said in RIB Showdown:

Off topic but it still pertains to the RiB showdown. Incoming vent. Lol

First 2 showdown runs I made it to Fernando down 11-12 with ease and won both of them in less then 5 outs......The next 2 showdown runs I get to Fernando down 11-12 with ease again but this time Fernando seems to be the best pitcher in the entire game all of a sudden with precision dots and a pitch mix on legendary. All the defenders are gold glovers and when a double play was needed they always got it. It seems like the game seen how easy I breezed through it at first so they decided to go all out on me these last 2. End of vent.

I know it's probably in my head, but that why I never do RIB more than twice in a row. When I finish the second game, I will turn the game off, and my PS4. I'll wait a few minutes then load both of them up again. Same thing with conquest games against the CPU. I notice after 3 or four games vs the CPU all of a sudden my team can't hit.
