I have finally done it. After playing this game for 5 years and God knows how many hours, I have reached 1 million stubs!

And I didn’t pay a cent!

EDIT: I've now reached the 2,000,000 mark! Without paying a cent!

EDIT 2: 3,000,000 now! And aced my exams. Feeling good!

EDIT 3: Just passed the 4,000,000 mark!

Playing a conquest game in the top of the third inning, winning 6-0. And the game disconnected me.

“You have been disconnected from The Show Online.” It tells me.

And that’s what it’s told me three times in the last 12 hours. My WiFi and internet speed are fine—I checked.

So what the hell, SDS? Is this happening to anyone else?

If it has happened to you, please upvote so we can get a tally.

Rookie Justin Verlander!

When you superfractor him and see you're not the first to do so, now you know who was! Me!!

Very satisfied to finally get a 1/1 superfractor this year. Even happier to do it with JV! Had to celebrate.

Opened a fortune cookie today. "An unhandled server exception occurred."

• Team logo does not show up in the scoreboard on the screen
• Game has crashed on me once
• Pitchers lose stamina way too quickly in conquest games
• Not enough gameplay xp being rewarded
• Still getting used to the new announcers, but they get repetitive a lot. Will they please shut up about the fans behind the plate already?? Unless they’re copying Kimbrel’s set position, I don’t want to hear it.
• Getting the conquest tutorials after I boot up the game, every time.
• Program progression is slow.
• I don't like that programs are merged the way they are.
• They still haven't brought game end-of-game rewards for conquest games.
• Stays alive, stays alive, stays alive, stays alive, stays alive...
• Audio error—the announcer said "as the winning run comes in to score" when it was the second inning and the score was 9-0.
• HR animations are still glitchy sometimes in the highlight reel. It's as if the bat is glued to the runner's hand with gorilla glue when it's a no doubt HR.
• Not enough rewards in USA conquest map compared to last year. SDS, do better.
• The announcers don’t want to say Paul Molitor’s name for some reason, they just call him “Number 4.”
• Incorrect announcer calls. The middle of left field is not "at the wall"
• Another announcer error. He said my SECOND BASEMAN was catching a pop-up “on the warning track” when he was just standing in the infield dirt.

I will update when I encounter more issues.

My Ma always told me life is like a box of chocolates , you always get an 'unhandled server exception'

Boiled unhandled server exception, fried unhandled server exception, unhandled server exception kebab, unhandled server exception stew, pepper unhandled server exception, unhandled server exception salad, unhandled server exception sandwich, unhandled server exception creole, stir-fried unhandled server exception...

Yeah, I expected a conquest map for the All-Star game or something. It's my favorite mode

It irks me that they sold the FOD program as good ol’ baseball, build it and they will come, and all that, then turn their backs on offline players who don’t care for showdown.

I avoid showdown like the plague. Moments already make me mad as a hornet, and Showdown is that times ten.

As a Tigers fan I extend my most heartfelt congratulations to Miguel Cabrera on his entry to the 500 club. He is the king .

Whether you’re a Tigers fan, Marlins fan, or just love Miggy in general, what’s your favorite moment as he made his way to that milestone?

@the_dragon1912 said in Prospect Cards Tanked:

They should have been quicksell price a long time ago. They just sped that process along

How do I grind conquest for rewards anymore? The prospect cards are worthless now. The mystery map only gives you 3 regular packs...

We need more repeatable conquest maps.

TN Ryan McMahon has got good fielding at 3rd, and he hits bombs.

I either didn't know or forgot these existed. Highest I got before this was the light blue/teal lights. But they were GOLD this time!

And I got the headliner 99 Kerry Wood! Woot!

First million milestone, first two million stub milestone... now first gold lights pull! I'm hitting all the bucket list things this year!

@chriscolbert_mlbts said in Switch!:

This is amazing! I do wonder if they will allow you to do offline DD stuff but I have to think an internet connection will be required.

I'm worried about how the servers are gonna handle more users on another console.

For all of us players to be showered with gifts by SDS for their server incompetence. This outage is unacceptable—it's October, it's the weekend, we just want to play baseball and chill. We've wanted to since April.

Multiple "we are sorry for the inconvenience" statements aren't cutting it anymore. They got old real quick.

We demand the full compensation that we deserve.

Add the DH for DD games against the CPU.

Don’t add it to online modes (H2H, BR, RS, or Events) because that will mess a ton of things up, JUST add it for games against the CPU as an option in the gameplay settings.

The computer doesn’t need a free out and neither do I, the player.

Also, fix moments. AL teams do not play against each other with National League rules. For lack of a better word, it’s dumb and breaks the immersion of this baseball simulation.

Please add the DH, SDS.

@gradekthebard said in It's Time to Reign in Flipping:

Let's begin with the obvious: flipping in MLB the Show takes less than 2 active brain cells AND this is a baseball game not a stock market simulation.

Flipping in the show is only possible because the market in incredibly inefficient allowing for never ending arbitrage scenarios that never close like they should in a normally functioning market. In the past, flipping in the show was very time consuming due to the input mechanisms and thus limited its adoption and abuse by most customers, however, the MLBtS app has changed this dynamic and enables what amounts to market manipulation (whether intentional or not) by the flipper community.

Why does flipping need to be reigned in now? Because the flippers drastically inflate prices on desired cards making them harder to obtain for the majority of customers AND cost SDS money because those same high prices drastically reduce impulse stub purchases. This problem only really became an issue with the app.

Fixing flipping is pretty easy and requires very little programming. 1) limit the purchase of flashback and legend cards to 1 each (once you own a card you cannot buy additonal copies, but could still ear/open them), 2) scale the tax to sales (ie first 20 sales a day are at 10%, next 20 are at 20%, and so on), 3) limit purchases of all other cards to 20 (again can still open/earn more) of golds and lower and 10 each to diamonds. Those 3 limits would prevent flippers from ruining the market for the majority of the community that just wants to play baseball.

And yes, anyone can flip (I made over 12 million stubs from the Friday after Thanksgiving through the Sunday on my alt account last year). It is literally ruining the market.

Oh, I see what it is. You just like micro transactions and shelling out money to game devs. You know that the rest of us aren't with you on that, right? Have heard of Star Wars: Battlefront 2 and other microtransaction-heavy games?

SDS ought to be commended for not making us buy more beyond the initial purchase of the game. They know that at the end of the day, we buy their game to play baseball.

Any gamer who has enough sense doesn't want to pay more than the $60 price tag for a game, given the state of the industry. If you wanna pay money to buy stubs directly since you hate flipping that much, go right ahead. We won't stop you.

What you're proposing would ruin the market, not the flipping that has been going on in a healthy market. And it would kill the game.

Have a good day, sir.

@mlbts_mlbts said in New program has absolutely killed NMS:

NMS was to easy last year. Now that it is harder this year it makes it more fun.

um... no it doesn't.

I pulled Trout from a BIAH pack I earned from the Monthly Awards program!! Woooo!

I forgot the last time this happened, if it ever happened from a pack that wasn’t a choice pack before... I bought him with NMS stubs last year...

I’m ecstatic. Just had to share and celebrate!

For your viewing pleasure!

.........................
My observations

• New camera shots have appeared in 9-inning CPU games. I just got a base hit and the camera switched to show the hitter pumping his fist on first base. Pretty cool!
• The update also resets the jukebox for some reason. So if you had all those songs turned off, the update will turn them back on. This didn’t happen in any previous updates.

I STILL want:

• The ability to use my DD team in custom practice.
• Universal DH (I know it’s not happening this year but I still want it)

With the roster update last week, some players have been moved around, with some being added to teams. Since they're new on the market, they often have no active sell orders or are for sale at a high price (going to the thousands of Stubs). This impedes the progress of those of us working to complete the Live Series collection. Remember AJ Ramos? It's like that, but with more cards, currently.

I've compiled a list of players that have been added to live series rosters that have yet to see their prices decrease. This list may also include cards that have been there since day one but are expensive for their rating. If you have any duplicates of these cards, please put them for sale on the market! Let's get those prices down and get our collections done (aside from the roadblock that is Mike Trout, of course )!

• Louis Head (Rays)
• Anthony Castro (Blue Jays)
• Mac Sceroler (Orioles)
• Zack Short (Tigers)
• J.T. Riddle (Twins)
• Tzu-Wei Lin (Twins)
• Jeison Guzman (Royals)
• Kent Emanuel (Astros)
• Scott Schebler (Angels)
• Reymin Guduan (Athletics)
• Elvis Andrus (Athletics)
• Brett De Geus (Rangers)
• Anderson Tejeda (Rangers)
• Kohei Arihara (Rangers)
• Sandy Leon (Marlins)
• Sean Kazmar Jr. (Braves)
• Nate Jones (Braves)
• Odubel Herrera (Phillies)
• Trevor Megill (Cubs)
• Rex Brothers (Cubs)
• Zach Davies (Cubs)
• Jonathan Holder (Cubs)
• Pablo Reyes (Brewers)
• Heath Hembree (Reds)
• Scott Hurst (Cardinals)
• Alex Reyes (Cardinals)
• Ben Heller (Diamondbacks)
• Alan Trejo (Rockies)
• Sheldon Neuse (Dodgers)
• Nick Ramirez (Padres)
• Ha-Seong Kim

Note: A lot of Cubs players and Athletics players are expensive for some reason.

If you get dupes of these cards, or if you got them after you've completed their team's collection, make a sell order for them on the market! DO NOT quick sell them or "sell now" when you get them from packs. There is a bug that makes anything you sell now from a pack quick sold, so be careful!

Thank you!
