@Kaznella_XBL

whats the name of your costco stadium ?

Costco Cheese Nerf

Update: Costco cheese is alive and well!!!

Tried to test what was said about max elevation being 3k. Re-uploaded my "Costco Cheese Nerf" as a new stadium with 2999 elevation.

First game with the exact same team I struggled to score 10-15 runs per game and hit maybe 5-7 home runs on Rookie...

28 runs, 35 hits, 21 home runs.... wish I knew how to share screenshots on here but they're in my activity feed on my xbox profile.

@dbub_PSN

Thx! Sorry I didn't see any posts. First time on boards this year. Glad I'm not the only one tho. Thought I was gonna a have to hang em up.

So Manny tattoos a perfect perfect to dead center in a short porch custom field with max elevation and the ball is caught routinely IN FRONT of the track....

Wait...what?

Even outside of this glaring example I have had a TON of examples of balls hit that should have gone out based on timing and PCI but they all end up routine fly outs even shallow.

I know the cards are low rated and all to start this year for the power creep but darn [sry]! This is nuts!

Did SDS do a sneaky nerf to high altitude custom stadiums to punish stat grinders? Lol

Anyone else finding this moment impossible to complete?

It's like he doesn't have the power to get it put of the park nor does he have the speed to make it around the bases.

I have hit 4 perfect perfects only to have them caught at the wall for 2 rbi sac flies and I have been thrown out at third or home now 7 times. Everytime the throw actually beats me to third but I run thru the tag only to get nailed easily at the plate.

Wtf?!

550 with Teoscar Hernandez

Did something change with the XP cap? I had serious downtime for the holiday and able to grind out all 6 affinity programs as well as the season awards program.

Between those and the collection awards I got 126,000 XP for non gameplay.

That said I have been stuck at exactly 186,000 XP since Mon/Tues and have not gained ANY gameplay XP for 2+ days.

Usually you get prompted whenever you log on and have hit the daily cap but there has been no such prompt.

Did they switch to a weekly cap or something?

Anyone else having an issue?

@SuntLacrimae50 said in TA2 pitchers dont work for mini season 25 IP challenge?:

Oh, don't forget! -- they stealth-swapped diamond cleats from people's inventories and replaced them with gold ones!

Say what?! I didnt hear this. Which one?

Don't do it! (j/k)

It's so incredibly frustrating when everything you hit sounds like a 500ft home run and ends up a roll over or humpback liner in infield or routine fly out.

So it's a 93 ovr. Jackie Robinson and 3 other cards 90-92, all season 1,a barrier breakers pack, and a conquest map.

What else do we want to [censored] about now?

If true, nice.

I'll [censored] again about the Hank Aaron miss, the early release mishaps, the stub gatekeeping, the xp nerfing, the TA2 conquest map, the servers, and a couple other things.

Careful. These forums are no place for negativity against SDS. The fanboys will eat you alive. 🤪

@Pergo said in SDS has even monetized the JRD rewards...:

Wrong...

https://theshow.com/news/mlb-the-show-23-jackie-robinson-day-celebration/

I stand corrected. At least on the charity front.

Continued lack of content obtainable through means other than spending money buying packs and stubs still stands.

I am just amazed at how greedy SDS has become....

So the bat skins, socks and bat grips that have been free via programs or conquest map rewards EVERY SINGLE YEAR are now only available in the show store for $4.99.

I wonder how much of the proceeds actually go to the JR Foundation. I bet its not much.

Once again... Classy move, SDS!

@fubar2k7 said in No Doubt animations:

@Kaznella You will love Manny Machado.

Oh boy! Well at least its not just me.

Anyone else notice that quite a few of the no doubt animations are inaccurate?

A couple glaring examples are Trout and Harper. Their animations have been the same for years but Trout does the Flick of the Wrist custom animation i think (maybe he just throws the bat down the 3rd base line) and Harper stands there and throws the bat straight up into the air (not sure which animation that is).

There are quite a few other but these are the two biggest names I have noticed.

Yeah servers are back up but the game is still broken.

Actually was able to load into mini season games after about 10 tries and my entire roster was replaced with 5' tall CAP players. All player names were blank and i started on the mound and could only throw pitches in the dirt. What a joke.

WTG SDS!

Amen, Brother!!

@Pergo said in Game Update 3 Coming Tomorrow:

@Kaznella It only caps gameplay XP though. That's not the only way to gain XP, so it will not take 67 days. For example, right now I am at 250k XP, and I've only played like 8 or 9 days. So that's over 25k per day I'm averaging. I've also never hit the XP cap.

I know. I am at about 250k as well. Problem is i have completed all programs and TA to get there. As a result i am only getting the flat 15k per day.

Playing as much as i can since early access i am avg 16k per day and that includes completing the programs and team affinitys.

SDS is basically forcing its offline players like myself to play H2H modes juat to get XP required for season completion.

@b00std_mark_II said in Game Update 3 Coming Tomorrow:

@DominickB3 they addressed it read the patch or update notes they saiid if your hitting the cap you will have the 99s in no time and long before the season is over

I call BS on their claim here. You'd have to hit the cap every single day for almost 67 days just to hit the 1,000,000 mark for ONE of the season one boss cards. Thats almoat ten full weeks of guaranteed every day maxing out the cap.

God forbid you "touch grass" or have a job and cant guarantee that level every day for 10 weeks.

SDS just flipped a bird to all the offline players saying to get more XP you have to complete the multiplayer programs (battle royale and ranked seasons).

CLASSY!
