I went 2-4. Sorry. How do you keep your infield in permanently?

This was the worst Weekend Classic yet. I was playing on Silver II level and went 2-6, and it was infuriating. One game I played, the player bunted with his entire team to the point where I almost ran out of time in the first inning because of having to change my defense for every batter. And for some reason, no matter the player, even not very good bunters, every bunt landed where it would elude my fielders. Not sure how he did it. But it was ridiculous.

Another game, a team where every player's batting average seemed to be around .217 or lower, managed to get 8 hits in the game off a 99 Ohtani, where, magically, 7 of them were home runs. There was a stretch of a few innings where no matter where a pitch was thrown or what kind of pitch it was, it would go for a HR. Sinker outside off the plate? HR. Fastball, high and inside? HR. Splitter in the dirt? HR. Sweeper off the plate? HR. There is no way a team with that low a batting average should have been able to do that.

So I felt one game was just abusing some flaw in the gameplay I'm unaware of, and the other had to definitely be cheating based on their previous stats and what they suddenly did off a tough pitcher over the course of a couple innings.

Also, I'm so sick of playing teams that are all switch-hitters. The game should just have a rule limiting the amount of switch hitters in a given lineup to no more than 3 or 4. There isn't a single team in the history of baseball that fields 9 switch-hitters, so why should the game have it? Yeah, I know it's a game and not "real" baseball, but it does attempt to present itself as that. Besides It's just boring and tiresome to face it every game.

Every pack I got from that was Martinez or Herrera. Very annoying. Packs should have totally been part of the new XP path.

Totally agree.

I got an Egg series James Wood. Yay.

It's just weird how some of the collections require to be completed (like Egg Hunt or the one with Ted Simmons or Spencer Strider) and others don't. Hard to determine the rationale.

I’m not even really playing the market. Just trying to buy a card I need or sell a card I don’t.

Why is it that every time I put in for a Buy or a Sell on a card, it seems like a dozen people either undercut my sell price almost immediately or overbid my Buy price? Is it really bots? I don't get it, but it's extremely frustrating. I don't remember this happening in previous seasons, or, if it did, not to this extent.

What’s insane is the game know it’s a HR, the announcers “know” it’s a HR, but for some reason it needs to go to the cut screen where it shows up in the score to count. It’s absurd. And if do many achievements in the game are dependent on counting stats, it’s infuriating SDS hasn’t fixed this after all these years.

Ah. That would be wildly unfortunate. But it explains the price.

But why would that make already expensive cards like Ohtani and Judge go up over 100-150,000 stubs when those cards attributes and ratings would seem pretty static and baked in? What would change there? Or you saying people who invested in other cards and do those prices go up are now flush with a stubs windfall and ready to spend?

Huge price jump in last hour on seemingly all cards. What happened?

Why would you need Easter Mookie? You're able to complete the collection now without him

They have the app and our emails, and should not be releasing things on the cesspool that is X, exclusively. And FWIW, I have both a life and play the game a lot. The fact that the typical ways of reaching players is not used for these or to announce Flash Sales is ludicrous and poor community relations.

Why are there 2 Cholowsky cards and why is one so much more expensive than the other? They seem to have the same attributes.

Okay, so what's up with that? It's so lame. I never paused anything longer than it took me to sub a player or move the infield in. Especially in Weekend Classic where every game matters, it really sucks to lose a tight game for no reason or server error.

I spend an inordinate amount of time playing this game and always seem to miss out on stuff like this and Flash sales. They should really alert players through different means, like the App, emails, or text messages, so those of us not on Twitter/X can access them. This gets really old, really fast.

I was playing my first Weekend Classic game and it was going into the 14th inning. I went to move my infield in, and the game was immediately forfeited because, apparently, I ran out of time. This was absurd and infuriating, and has never happened to me before. I've sat and played people, watching incredulously after they needlessly pause the game for a minute, only to see them gain the time back as the game goes on, and then have them delay it again, etc. I never delayed anything in this game. Just quick moves to swap out pitchers, baserunners, and moving the infield in, etc. But for some reason, probably because of the length of the game, my time ran out. I don't understand how people who waste my time delaying the game get time added back, and the small moves I was making in an extended game somehow was able to run out the clock. It should never have happened in a Weekend Classic game, and I swear I did not make excessive moves and I did not take long in making the moves I made. Has this happened to anyone else?

But no packs or special player cards?

How have people already gotten this card? Was I reading things wrong or don’t you need to earn 250,000 PXP player points to get him? How has anyone done that in 14 hours? What am I missing here?
