@MileHiMayhem_PSN said in WTF SDS...:
I had an 80% probability to get Fielder on All-Star difficulty and I don't f!@$ing get him. This sh!t is more rigged than a carnival game.
Well, 80% is not 100%. Just saying.
Had you gotten him, would you have come on here and posted, "Whew! Only had an 80% chance and still got him -- thanks, SDS!"
Don't play [censored] modes.
@Liltwitch31_XBL said in This is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME:
@BJDUBBYAH_PSN you cant be expecting these guys to understand economics
Please. SDS has manipulated the market with quicksell values and pack distribution to create the type of market where flipping is basically a waste of time, all in order to encourage players to spend real money. Raising the cap on high diamonds to 750K as well -- almost forgot that.
WHO doesn't understand economics???
@trfatboy22_MLBTS said in Amazing pack odds:
@TripleH-4481_PSN Pack odds are exactly the same as they have always been.
This is true, strictly speaking.
But if you flood the market with low diamonds and there are hardly any high diamonds, then it's not the same.
Destroy flipping, slow the grind, and give out fewer packs -- while raising the cap on 90+ LS to 750K.
I am SO glad to have parachuted out of this game early this year.
@MarioMendoza935_XBL said in Ohtani and Judge are more expensive post flash sale:
If you had told me on release night that in mid-May I'd have 1.6m stubs and that wouldn't be enough to buy the remaining 8 cards I need, I would have said you're nuts.
SMH at SDS. Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. As bad as EA almost.
2, maybe 3, years in a row now SDS has instituted terrible DD mode decisions at launch that have made me not want to play the game.
Bringing back a 3-game/5-pack repeatable Conquest is a W, but it's a Maddenesque W -- putting back something that never should have been taken away in the first place.
SDS has made grinding unnecessarily frustrating and has all but destroyed flipping.
I probably will not log more than 10 hours total on the game this year. Franchise and RTTS are stale with minimal improvements, and DD has run its course.
I mean, I don't "create content" for a living, but there's so much SDS could do in terms of interesting programs that just don't get done. How bout a "Crosstown Classic" with Cubs & White Sox players?
@SaveFarris_PSN said in PLEASE ADD PETE ROSE!:
If Pete Rose ever makes it to "The Show", here's how it'd happen.
A. The Historical Overview Committee meets next in December 2027. They determine whether Rose is put onto the ballot of the Veteran's Committee.
B. The Veteran's Committee votes (whether this is in 2027 or 2028 is unclear.)
C. Assuming Pete wins in 2028 (for 2029 enshrinement), SDS would make Pete the "lead" legend for MLBTS 29 just as they did Clemens/Manny this year, Jeter in 23, Randy in 22, Clemente in 21, Rivera/Ortiz in 20, etc.
See the post above yours. Will never happen.
They've made it so hard to flip/generate stubs the past two years. One of the reasons -- not the main one, but a contributor -- why I'm hardly invested in the game this year. Probably will not come back more than a few hours total.
I thought I read that part of the reason they waited until he died, maybe the main one, was to send a clear message to future players that a lifetime ban is indeed a lifetime ban. You will not enjoy an association with MLB, including the HOF, while you are alive. If so, I can respect that even if the softie in me bristles at it.
@Teak2112_MLBTS said in Why Are We Getting Dupe No-Sell Cornerstone Cards?:
Im guessing your quote is from one of the people who try to counter every complaint.
No one should be against this. The view that people should be locked out of things because they werent around day 1 is an absolutely indefensible position
"Absolutely indefensible" is a bit much. You can argue it either way. I agree with your general take, btw.
I'm not really playing this year, but I'm fine with it, too. It's called GOAT, after all. They've democratized rewards consistently in the past few years -- leave a little something for the killers out there to earn.
@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL said in How did you or plan to complete Live Series Collections:
How are you guys doing DQ ? I keep getting demolished by the As and I’m a 900-1k player online typically. I can dot 3 pitches and they literally nuke all of them. My par sometimes is aweful and results in walks. And my batting exit velos are severely bad no matter how good I mount up. It’s a joke the gameplay is aweful. I’m playing legend and Goat
Legend/GOAT is giving the CPU permission to cheat. It might seem counterintuitive, but it's probably easier to play a human on legend than the CPU.
I do not plan to finish. SDS has nerfed, intentionally, all no-money-spent stub generation methods. Offline grinding is not very rewarding and Rookie pitching is frustrating (not hard: frustrating).
I'll play a few games here and there this year, but I'm pretty much done.
@warehousetom_PSN said in Alternative uniform collection:
Thanks, I appreciate the info but it doesn't answer the question that I ask. I asked why? There are more than 4 alternative uniforms so why would it not be updated? Still wondering why? A simple reading of my question would have you seeing that I asked why? It only takes a few seconds to read through what I asked and see that I asked why. Thanks though
Wait, what did you ask?

Diamond quest is a joke. The amount of times I’ve been screwed by the cpu is a joke. Perfect double plays. Terrible exit velos. I play on goat and legend. I’ve been up by several runs and suddenly the cpu starts blasting bombs on me pitch after pitch I’m dotting. If not that the cpu dinks bloopers for a win. It’s dog [censored]. And I’ve rolled a 1 4 times in a row that directly countered what I just spent 6k peanuts on. The games a joke. The exit velocity I get on squared up hits combined with incredible ludicrous defense from the cpu and the lack of my par making anything happening is all RNG bs. I can tell from the first inning if the computer has me to win or not. Suddenly all those hours spent are wasted
You're playing on GOAT and you're upset that the CPU is good?
To be fair to this guy, when you get to max difficulties in sports games, it's not that the CPU is "good" -- the game literally has been programmed to screw you.
Add to this that baseball itself is a sport that routinely screws you in real life.
Solution: Don't play on these difficulties and expect good results from good input.

If you play on goat and/or legend, you're playing a game that is programmed to screw you. Just saying.

@Rhyno1986_XBL said in Diamond Quest Sucks:
Well obviously you've not played the show that long because there has never been repeatable conquests for rewards. And the mini season rewards is the exact same they have been for 4 years. So again invalid argument since your only saying your feelings not facts. Mini seasons always has mission rewards (so many hits with certain series or tier or strikeouts) then 1 time rewards for winning so many games, and then your post season pack and championship pack. Then usually some repeatable missions.
- There has been repeatable rewards for conquest in all the recent versions of the game.
- Mini season rewards are GUTTED for repeating them. Ill just give one example, comparing the only repeatable MS in 25 (classic) to 24's TA 1: 10 packs for 40 hits in 24 vs 5 packs for 300 hits in 25. If we drop difficulty to rookie I think getting 300 hits in 2 runs is doable, but can be a stretch the way the game plays today. But lets give SDS the benefit of the doubt and say 5 packs for hits every 2 mini seasons. In 2024's TA 1 you would have 20 in the same time.
Wow, that's TERRIBLE. What a disrespectful decision towards players on SDS's part. I remember grinding MS 2 years ago, maybe last year, to get a bunch of packs.
EVERYTHING Diamond Dynasty has become a squeeze.
[censored] this game. Long live Oblivion Remastered.

I have never seen them ban someone for talking badly about the game. God I wish they would, because some people incessantly whine… about everything…
You want them to ban people for expressing thier opinion? Wow bet you want people arrested for free speach too huh? Because that is what it is free speach. Not saying I agree with everyone, but seriously they have a right to say what the want.
As others have said, citizens have the First Amendment; posters on an online forum have its TOS. Silly comparison.

@Jacob151167_XBL said in MLB The Show Has Regressed — It’s Time to Prioritize Gameplay Over Content:
They can't even patch the game without introducing multiple new bugs, soft locks, and game crashes. I think it's time for Sony to fully step in and see what is taking place in San Diego before the game becomes a colossal mess like EA Madden NFL, which is unfixable and fundamentally broken across the board.
Its extremely likely that Sony is to blame in the first place. Madden is also the wrong example to use as its a shining example of profits above all else.
True, but at leat they overhauled franchise a few years ago. If SDS would do that, I might come back. Played 3 conquest games yesterday and couldn't wait to turn the game off. DD is very stale, and franchise is the same old mess (with some new messiness added).
