Yeah it’s really sad this year. I’ll keep playing but I’ve given up on the idea of collecting this year. I just don’t have the bandwidth to play that many hours just to have the cards rendered useless.

I wish we could see how many player drop off after season 2 starts, I’m sure it will be substantial

I've opened my final Pennant Chase pack (from the program and conquest map. I did not do the show down), and my odds were pleasantly and surprisingly much better than what was stated.

24 Packs
18 Gold cards (1 84, 3 83, 3 82, 7 81, and 4 80) 18/24 75%
6 Diamonds (Two Mike Schmidts) 6/24 25%

Stated odds 1:6 17% (rounded)

I must’ve had the easiest matchmaking experience ever in events to get 12 wins. Many of them had losing records and my 11th and 12th won they could barely muster 2 runs

Don't you love those day's though? I have them, but not very often. Usually after 2 wins it's nothing but Goons and Gods. Always finish each event well under .500

That’s why I tell people that getting 12 wins is a lot of luck. I know that I have been to World Series and have a really good record but I am very inconsistent game to game. I’m no young buck so I am not going to put up tons of runs each game so I can go through spells not being able to hit all that well.

It think we are probably similar. I have made WS many times and have a good record, so average people probably would consider me a sweet , but like you I am not young and not going to make 1050 -1100 ratings. I have realized I can read pitches probably as well as almost anyone, but my PCI control is just not good enough to be with the super goons. I consistently oversight that darn thing and just miss pitches that the great players do not.

I played a guy the other day who had the top 50 player multi times belt icon and I decided to play it out a bit just to see. Man, I could dot pitches and it didn’t matter, he could destroy almost anything. Very humbling. I just enjoy the challenge of getting better but understand I will never be the super goon

My experience is a little different, I can say I am very decent at controlling my pci and when I really want to sweat I won’t chase too many pitches. What kills if for me is how often good input gets punished and bad input gets rewarded. I could play at high elevation stadiums but I hate homeruns with 88mph EV

By the way, hope all is good with you buddy.

I understand what you are saying completely. In my last ranked game , I have up 2 runs, both on balls that were about 10 inches off the plate on either side on not good contact. I still won easily, but it has me shaking my head as it reminded me of some super close games I have lost with similar nonsense homers while I squares up about half a dozen balls for “Atem” or warning track outs.

Love to get a cO op game in some time before this game officially dies

@lckdb_XBL said in Are they serious with the new promo?:

Tweet after tweet for a promo structured around two players that have 99 core cards in the game. Those cards are also super cheap since live series cards are worthless.

Sets and seasons at its finest.

You and I have a different definition of cheap.

Judge, Ohtani, deGrom and Betts buy now price is a combined 300K

I have 97K

@iBonafideScrub_ said in H2H rewards are killing my desire to play:

99 WBC Trout is almost the same as the new one, especially with the Ripken boost

Unfortunately I can’t use both in ranked right now, but you are absolutely correct. I loved WBC Trout.

It feels so futile to be grinding and blowing tons of stubs on cards I already have. They really need to rethink this in 2024. Can’t have day one 99s and expiring content together.

I’m usint Ripken for now too, just throw another OF there while you wait for Trout to be useable again

@talesofwyn_PSN said in SDS we need make rights for 90 Ranked pack:

While I don't need the stubs and am eventually going to collect the cards anyways as they end up at quicksell seeing sale at 80k when i get the pack just rubs me the wrong way. SDS seems to create so many issues for itself that I actually plan on playing some Madden this year to give myself a chance to like SDS again

Cause if there's a company thats known for never screwing over its fans in packs— its EA!

exactly why I want to play for a bit. I actually will appreciate SDS compared to EA.

@Pennstatefencer_MLBTS said in Do you think we will get a 2nd Core collection?:

@jcassaro44_PSN said in Do you think we will get a 2nd Core collection?:

I think If they do. They’d have to update mini seasons or something because if you don’t play BR you can’t complete the core collection even with the live series done

People that don't play BR could just buy the BR core cards. That's what I've been doing all year. I think I only have one BR game played in 23.

I don't see why they would need to update mini seasons as long as they keep up the supply of those cards with rewind packs like they did last year.

They put it in last year for off line players, they added all the bronze silvers and golds.

Faced Satchel for the first time last night. Worth the investment IMO. Donaldson is just as good though to me. Both very good pitchers, very tough to pick up for me but I’m just an average player at best.

You could use him at 1B but I wouldn’t do it because has some of the best reaction,blocking and arm strength in the game. He doesn’t have catcher pop time like Adley though.

@allday9128_PSN said in Legends Event is an awful setup:

Yeah I really wish they would get more creative with the event setups. I think for this considering that the top overall from the fathers day program is a 97 and the 12 win reward for this event is a 97, that this would've been a good event to cap the max overall for player at 97.

And maybe even cap the team overall at 95. To actually get people to use different cards, which they basically said was a main focus of the game mode this year.

Agree. What’s the point of these Events if everyone basically uses the SAME lineups?

Exactly why we need more CAPPED Events…and a Capped 9 inning mode.

Would bring a level of actual strategy to the roster construction part of DD.

And if people don’t like it…they can just stick with Ranked.

BR is popular. Events can be popular. Why not give us a 9 inning version of BR where instead of drafting, we build a lineup with the cards we have but with an OVR cap or some type of restrictions?

@pootiecat_PSN said in Is this another Event where we won't be able to use Randy?:

Why grind the cards if you won’t use them? Bro just go play some ranked

I planned to use him in Events, which appear to the last source of new cards going forward.

My binder is complete other than the Bauer and Vizcaino cards that no longer exist.

It's not the last. They only reason you can use Takashi is Shohei
