Finest has always comes out after the postseason is over so not sure what you are referring to.

I do wonder if SDS will mix in some Retro Finest cards or if TA4 will strictly be current players as usual? There are already so many endgame 99 overalls available especially when you consider that every card will be eligible for the S4.

@Sarge1387_PSN said in umm:

After they specifically said the bosses would be easier to obtain. This is NOT what they did. What they did do was simply give lesser versions of the bosses earlier in the path…deliberately misleading the player base…not a good look

I think it is too soon to make the final judgement on that. With the 60K head start and all of the XP in other programs and modes you can get a good jump start. We'll need to see if they are better at adding in XP to some of the other programs.

Easier does not imply that it will be Easy, simply less effort than Season 1, no matter how much or how little.

Ive actually started noticing it seems to mess with your ranked season stats on the leaderboard its counts a game as 9 ininning for certain stats like avg k/9 h/9 hr/9 im pretty sure the actual inning stat is correct though .This is what happend to make me notice I played a 2 inning game had 6 hits 2 dingers5runs the guy quit and a bunch of my hitting stats dropped than next game was 3 inning with 7 hits 4 runs 2 hr another guy quit and half my hitting stats went down againn im going to watch it a little closer tonight to confirm before really complaining about it

When it comes to physical copies I think they can't ship it before street date for legal reasons. But yeah if you order the digital you should've had that email in your inbox at midnight or soon after, at least no later than whenever the company opens for business... that's wack if GameStop did you like that but at least you didn't spend your own money but yeah still sucks... I'd at least like to have the option to play the moment the game releases.

I like the dualsense Edge on PS5 and the Elite 2 on XB.

@GoozeFn it'll continue trust. I can tell you that there's a large base of RTTS players that barely touched Diamond Dynasty and vice versa... yeah you had guys that grinded for CAP reasons but from what I could tell (outside of content creators) the player base for those modes is pretty unique to their respective modes. I'd imagine the player base that plays Franchise intersects more with RTTS than the DD player base.

I completely agree with @Whiplash831_MLBTS and @capardo_XBL. As an offline player myself, they are definitely not catering to us. We aren't able to finish any of the collections without buying cards. The only good thing is that we can complete 95% of our goals without being restricted by the sets rule.

So the question is: Who are they pandering to? If both the offline and online players feel they are being slighted, then who is benefiting?

Follow the stubs. SDS has to make money to stay in business, which is at the expense of those who want to play the game. So, @LIONED-33_XBL is right. The only way not to be aggravated is to accept what we can do and play the game. If that isn't possible, then it's best to move on - like a lot of players have said they are doing. That is the only way PS and SDS will get the message. Once they see their sales drop (both game and stubs), they will have to make the decision to either change the model to compromise what the fans want or quit making the game because it isn't profitable enough (think SOCOMM).

I play MLB on switch more now then my Xbox

Grinding conquest, programs, mini seasons while the game is one or while watch TV with the wife

The switch version gets the job done and that's all it needs to do

I took Foster because I could use another starter and he had the outlier screwball. Bo and Thompson just weren't too enticing to me at the time and didn't really need either one on my squad. But I'd say Foster is alright not great... the outlier screwball isn't anything to write home about (I see no real difference from normal srewie) and his delivery isn't very deceiving either.

Currently 8-0 won’t get to pick up til this weekend. But I doubt I go flawless. Who you guys taking? I don’t need an infielder but Bo is always fun. Rube? Thoughts?

Hank Thompson plays every position, doesn’t he?

No that’s Martin D.
