Packed an Ohtani during the flash sale waiting for my son’s high school game to start. Then he scored the walk off run in the 10th. I figured I ought to do something I never do and I bought a lottery ticket in the way home and hit $100 on a dollar scratch off, it’s one of those days.

On my drive to work this morning I hit three red lights! The odds are that I shouldn’t hit more than 1. Fix this!

/end rant

The three of the same card is complete BS. SDS can easily fix this. Any jr high coding student could fix this. The lack of pulls in a 50 pack is disappointing but typical. But the 3x repeats is unacceptable. This happened to me a few times now on packs I purchased.

I love the people who show no empathy on here. I’m currently playing the show with one eye. I had Retina reattachment surgery and have an oil bubble in my one eye until at least August. It has made getting above WS nearly impossible for me, but I still enjoy the game. Some modes I don’t mess with because of the difficulty in hitting consistently with precision. I like the suggestion of making the cards sellable and repeatable for folks. It hasn’t locked the dq cards up or ruined the market in that mode. How much of an impact could doing the same thing to showdown have?

Apparently DQ was too profitable for the players. I’m sure the excuse will be “we received feedback from our players that it has become an online exploit” or some garbage like that. All this is is a thinly veiled attempt to nerf a known stub making method. Throw on top of this that I have completed stadium challenges five times on GOAT and received no rewards, not even a standard pack. When I emailed them a complaint I received the same copy and paste email stating that “they can’t do anything about it” and essentially to go pack sand. I don’t need to farm stubs this way, but it is discouraging to know players have lost a method that worked. But it’s their business to run.

I don’t buy the whales/grinders/no lifers. I can literally complete a single stadium run in under 20 minutes. I’m non of the aforementioned folks.

I highly recommend reading this on X. Hilarious to read through a few people on the streamer’s X feed. I’m assuming the older female is his mother. It’s worth a read.

Don’t blame people who wisely follow real life baseball and put their stubs into under-rated cards to make stubs off the updates. It takes very little time to read box scores and baseball reference twice a week and spot trends. Yes, I do this and have made 1.4 million off the first update. I have the LS collection finished and have for some time. I’ve spent a little bit of real money, but made 95% of my collection and stubs by being aware of the real life game and the inefficiencies in the early ratings.

I also think that you miss the flip side of this inflation after the updates, that of the sellers who get more stubs from what they have in their binders. Just be smart and be patient, the market will settle back in a week or so. In the meantime sell every duplicate you own on the market. EVERYTHING, even bronze and commons. Build a stub stack while the market is up.

Btw, I’ll already have 800k invested in the next update. Not hard work when you use the companion app.

The market should dip over the weekend as the weekend classic starts handing out rewards. Additionally, with season 3 starting, lots of xp reward path packs and higher rated cards will depress the market as well. It’s coming, just be patient.

That’s your percentile. If you are 93%, that means you are in the top 7% of all players in that category. Which is good, but 37th is not. You have to keep in mind your numbers can be greatly influenced by sample size.

@Dolenz_PSN

Jackson had a career ops of .960 according to baseball reference. In an era before the home run he had plenty of power. For perspective, a .960 would place him 7th in the league right now behind Corbin Carrol and ahead of Alex Bregman.

Also, I haven’t stayed in the game past August in years. But last year I got so sick of Madden I bailed in October and came back. I plan on grinding this game all year as it is a mental health method for me to unwind. Not getting back in the Madden wheel again. I like that I will have attainable things for late in the game cycle.

Hint, next year sell all of your cards early. Grind and save to buy Ohtani first. I got him for 402199 this year. It sounds counter productive but saves stubs in the long run.

I want 22 minutes of my life back. I feel cheated.

@davisonkj17_PSN Pitchers will never throw a strike

@theBlindRhino_PSN That’s not legal. Unless they have some clause written in their TOS (which I am admitting to have not read), you can’t ban someone for their speech if they are not using your product to amplify their speech. Nike can’t ban someone from wearing their sneakers because they had them on when they assaulted someone. It doesn’t work that way. I agree with someone else above. SDS may have crossed the line on this one.

And this guy was saying some very rude stuff about Ashley at SDS. I am appalled by what I have read about it. But as Voltaire said, I would be prepared to defend his right to say it. Not sure I’d die for it though. Lol

@KingBlezz420_XBL He has since clarified himself. WGAF?

@dbub_PSN because I have more stubs than I’m able to have. Investing since day one has me hiding stubs in cards and just buying any and all packs that drop. Now for 95% of people, buying packs is stupid, but I’m not in that boat.

Eliminate captains and go to chemistries. If a player played in a regular season game with a team you can activate that chemistry. Get boosts at different levels of chemistry. I know it’s the Madden model, but SDS doesn’t seem to care about copping EAs money grab schemes with packs and such. Why care about this?

No tinfoil, just statistics. You opened just 71 packs

…and expected what? 2 Ohtanis?

That's a ridiculous response but one expected from the fan boy section.

Why don’t you answer his question? That is how discussion occurs. I know our society is gearing towards just shouting down your opponent, but your slapping him (of all people on here) as a fan boy is both misinformed and lazy.
