to me its simple you get 2 freebies a week, this eliminates any accidental power outage, or internet outage. Anything more than that you're dashboarding. i've been kicked off for power or internet maybe 3 times in the last year. I have just shut down my Xbox, when the kids are acting up every now and then. i should be punished i started a game and didnt finish.

The punishment is built in you lose the other person wins.
If anything it's a coding issue the devs dont care to fix, the game knows it's a homerun 99% of the time as soon as the bat touches the ball, the other 1% being ones that have an almost negligible chance of being snagged at the wall.

@iBonafideScrub__PSN
Oh no so you have to play 1 more 3 inning game how terrible, and arent actually penalized anyways because you still got the win.

@Easy_Duhz_it__MLBTS said in Co-op ranked options:

Last i heard, there are no restrictions in co-op..

The lack of punctuation here is making difficult to determine whether or not i agree with this topic.

Allow me to try and translate with my opinion as I believe I understand the premise and reasoning.

They did a really good thing this season with being able to grind team affinity in ranked Co-op, as well as stat missions in the ranked program.

The main issue with this is because there are no lineup restrictions in Co-op, you have a subset of players who want to grind team affinity with friends playing with season 2 cards playing against the people using Co-op to have fun with their full 99 season 1 cards

While I dont necessarily think those should be completely seperate queues, I definitely wouldnt mind seeing teams with season 2 style squads having a higher chance to match with other season 2 style squads, while still using the standard matchmaking score as a primary of course.

It is pretty rough especially as a lower skilled player wanting to play with friends and still make progress throwing a team affinty squad against a full team of 99s.

@HazrdCubby_XBL said in 2v2 Ranked not restricted to Core and Season 2 Players?:

Played with a friend 2v2 ranked first day of Season 2, we were able to choose anybody from Season 1. Was this intended? Spent the last bit trying to get a good core group of guys to start Season 2. Just to be able to use anybody I already had. Makes any type of grinding worthless, especially considering that no Stats towards any Programs or anything are obtainable in 2v2. Seems like it sucks to try and play with a friend.

Yes, the announcement stated that ranked co-op would not have season restrictions.
Ironically there are actually team affinity stat missions you can complete and grind in season 2 ranked Co-op (K's and Hits/Total bases) as opposed to just innings pitched in season one. Unfortunately unless you get lucky in matchmaking your throwing your team of core and season 2 players against everyones 99 season 1 squads so its a bit of a mixed bag.

@Blind_Bleeder Actually you are wrong the same rewards arent available because they changed all reward packs into jellybean packs, which is significant if you are trying to get the 100 beans to get the spring chicken pack, considering its a 40,000 stub pack

@Tylerslikewhoa_XBL It has nothing to do with a handout, it has to do with punishing players who started earlier

@x814xmafia_MLBTS
Already explained in another post in this thread.
@Easy_Duhz_It_
Pack availability is based on skill and time available, there are plenty of packs some people just wont have access to.

As to the subject of conquest maps someone who started conquest today has access to all the packs. Looking at just the regular rewards not counting the hidden ones i can count 20 packs that I lost out on a chance to get Beans, if you count hidden packs that number is probably at least 30 to 35 add in other program rewards its probably around 50 packs total.
Now suppose there is a 1 in 5 chance of a bean drop thats 10 beans who cares right? Those 10 beans are 10% of a 40,000 stub pack essentially 4000 stubs and thats just for a crappy part time player like me who hasnt actually even finished the conquests plenty of people got it even worse

You have to exchange the vouchers for the eggs

Packs arent that plentiful for everyone, most of the packs I have gotten are from conquest maps, and someone starting today could do all those conquest maps and earn the jelly bean packs instead because they changed all the packs.

Since all show packs are now jellybean packs, any packs that were earned before today we lost out chances for jelly beans.

Really ought to be some compensation based on drop rate for people who opened packs from conquest/other modes who are at a disadvantage now towards collecting dor the spring chicken pack exchange.

Have a bit of a weird issue load up the game and go through the menu with no issues, right up until the actual gameplay. Then once in an actual game i have no ability to do anything except pause and once I pause i cant move around options or even unpause. It almost seems like my controller is registering as controller 2 in this situation even though I only have 1 controller.
I then have to restart the game in order to fix the issue, it probably happens 25% of the times I load the game, and this is the only game I have had this issue with.
Anyone else had this issue? Or have any Idea I can try to fix it

@xd_Tghhd_PSN said in Does anyone else get co-op freezes?:

Does anyone else get frequent co-op freezes. Me and my friend have been trying to grind co-op and every other game at the 3-5 inning mark our game will freeze and we will wait for like 10 minutes to be notified that the game has ended. Does anyone know what’s going on?

Try taking a peak at the Co-op section of the forum.

I was using the TA season 1 Keston Hiura and held a guy at first on a sure double so his contact wouldnt drop from 100+ to his 62 clutch rating lol

@xElRojo44x_MLBTS said in So Paralleled Attributes Do Not Count:

...towards Captain boosts. Which is ridiculous. It's bad enough we get expiring cards, now we cannot parallel a player up in order to meet a Captain's requirements. Total BS!

It literally says that when you look at the captain boost on the card.

@Dyonysos69_XBL said in Is it really unlimited rewards ???:

So if there is an xp cap in place , whatever the amount may be …it isn’t really unlimited rewards because a cap is setting a limit on rewards ….Is it not ?

Its not unlimited regardless because it is a timed program that expires.

@Strattdogg2K_MLBTS said in Forgetting to turn off cross play:

I can't figure out how to turn it off on XBOX series S. I pre ordered the deluxe edition and it has been locked on the on setting since pre launch day 1. Any XBOX guys know how I can turn cross play off????

You have to do it in your Xbox settings or it doesnt allow it to save in the game, at least thats how it was last year.

Reel In The Bass.

This one is extremely annoying. I've done others like this before but this pitchers SLV is hard to control. Not enough velocity on his fastball either.

Any advice? I get so close...

UPDATE

Just beat it.

Just post and the forum provideth

Based on this suggestion I am going to complain about the Giambi grand slam moment in the weekly wonders program, I have not had this much trouble with a moment this year it is ridonkulous.

I find it kinda funny, I struggled with this showdown probably about 30 attempts all shut down by Gibson, finally got the other guy and got passed him, and being super worried going in against Chafin, but then 1st at bat hit a no doubter to beat him.

@Jumpman5802_XBL said in Season 1 program expiration:

Will season 1 affinity, monthly awards, charisma, and topps now programs still be available to play during season 2?

The only programs that expire have an expiration on them

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X_PSN said in Not getting Topps Now Cards:

@jtwill99_PSN said in Not getting Topps Now Cards:

I submitted a ticket about this when I initially discovered the stars and timeline not syncing. SDS replied:

"There’s extra points each week, but if you go over those you don’t get a head start on the next week. Just save them and do them first thing next week instead of going over."

Wish I would've known ahead of time. lol

Wish you would've known ahead of time?

Each week, after week 1, if YOU counted how many points you needed to get to the final card; YOU would've came up with 24pts.

9 Moments equals 18pts and you get 6pts for the 1000 PXP Mission.

And points have never carried over in the past.

There are a few problems with that statement.

How is a new player supposed to know that the points dont carry over, I've been playing since 21 and had no idea that was a thing.
There is also the bigger issue of why they deem it necessary to deprive players of points they earn because they finish a mission available to them, or force them to not use a card they earned for an extra week, which is not a question I expect you too have an answer for, just pointing out that it's a really dumb pointless rule.

If you did the math in week 1 where all the points are required, it is pretty fair to assume the continuous program will follow the same path throughout, a simple tooltip letting people know there are more points available than are required, and that points doints carry over as dumb as that rule is would take care of that issue.
