That's not how odds work

It's 1 in 50, but that doesn't mean one out of every 50 packs you open, it's over the whole community

I could open 2 packs and get 2 diamonds, you could open 98 packs and get nothing, the odds still come out to 1 in 50

That should be explained not implied but you live and learn and Ive learned to never buy packs.

I mean they shouldn't have to hold your hand and teach you how odds work. They are posted clearly. Your lack of understanding isn't their fault

It's an event game and you just need stats. why in the world would you stay in a freeze off?

He’s almost unhittable in the right hands. I’ve smashed him but dudes don’t touch him vs me. It a you thing not an Aroldis thing.

What does that have to do with the post? You just came here to stroke your own ego, congrats.

@raesone_psn said in Why do NMS players with Chipper/other elite players have such a complex?:

Put your annual fantasy sport gaming money in an index fund and thank me later.

Even at 100% annual returns my $0 isn't gonna go very far. Avocado toast money on the other hand...

For me it would be looking through this forum

18-0 without playing a single inning, what a monster. Such a coincidence they face the same 5 opponents over and over.

If you're gonna cheat, at least lose one intentionally here or there

This take is like saying people who drive stick shifts unfairly get too much control of their cars. If more work/skill is required, there should be more benefit. The less work you do, the more you're reliant on external factors.

You are obsessing over something that is a natural function of the game cycle. Adapt and move on. We're trying to help you

bring it to the show and my OBP might actually be higher than my AVG for once

I love how you take no one responding to your post that is almost impossible to read as fact that everyone is out here doing something nefarious. This is the only time I've seen this complaint ever in this game, and doubt its possible much less that its been going on for a while and isn't new.

I hate these. Don't they realize people on the west coast work until 5pm?

If you have time to look through the forum don't you probably have time to buy one of the packs through the website?

@maddogtannen777_xbl said in How would we ever know...:

AGAIN how would u EVER know??

The market wouldn't have crashed had that happened

Start putting together a bunch of seemingly random cards and yadi yadi yadi you end up with a group of legends

Bob Feller, final answer

first of all, there hasnt been a single ball hit perfect-perfect in your last 15 games that was an out, so thats part is just not true. you are playing at the end of the cycle where the majority of players still here are much better than the player base is in april-october, so unless you match up with the few other new players, youll get beat a decent amount just based on experience. my recommendation is to stop pressing so hard to crush the ball, be more patient, find patterns in your opponents pitching and make them pay when they make a mistake

I’m missing Ty Cobb, didn’t find a replacement for him in 21... A speedy lefty lead off hitter that hits bombs, I hope one day he’ll return.

His name is Lou Brock and he's been waiting for you all this time

Last 3 event games on wired fiber no vpn. 1st guy confirmed Boston, 3rd guy confirmed North Carolina. Didn't even ask the 2nd one. I am playing all star and having to sell out for pitches. Quit [censored] matching me against people 1000 miles away. Is there no one playing this [censored] game in the midwest?

You know it’s a red flag to message someone and ask them where they live right? You know that right?

Only if your mind is wired weirdly, like yours apparently. Asking a question with some context is perfectly normal. Not like he asked the guy for his address or his SSN, just asking what region he's from is not that weird.

Yeah, I disagree. And there’s never been anything stated about how the question is asked. If I match with someone, the pause the game, and message me “where do you live” I’m screenshotting, reporting, blocking and quitting. You can think what you want, but, this person is clearly obsessed with internet connections, goes so far to ask people where the live, uses a VPN, that’s the kind of person that does ddos attacks bud. It just is.

"Where do you live" is a weird question, I doubt he used that specific phrase.
"Where are you from" is very commonly used in every day small talk.

Yes, you can doubt it gets phrased that way all you want, much like I can assume it does.

Yes you can. And like I said earlier, that gives us some insight into your mind, not his.

Ah, yes. The psycho analysis. Where did you get your PHD Doctor?

It's really not that complicated.

There’s a lot of validity to feelings of concern when a random person on the internet messages you with “where are you from?” Especially because the preceding message was most likely something passive aggressive along the lines of “wish I didn’t have to face warp pitch speeds” just because you agree with a madman doesn’t make it any less weird.

Wasn't talking to you Skepple, save your replies for when I actually @ you.

No thanks, I’ll reply where I see fit thanks!

Also, go back in our messages on your other account as to how dangerous it can seem asking someone where they’re from. I won’t bring it up but if you go back in our messages you’ll understand what I mean.

No clue what you're talking about and tbh I don't really care either. I came here only to say that Demise is right to complain about the state of networking infrastructure when it comes to this franchise and that it's pathetic how these buffoons jump his throat on every opportunity just because he brings up the same issue over and over again.

Because honestly the issue is not that big of a deal and it only comes up when he loses. He straight admitted it in this thread, when he won everything was all good. It’s been the same thing for 6 years if it’s that bad stop playing. Who’s forcing you to be here?

Anyone who messages someone asking where they’re from is definitely on the unstable side. To try and make excuses for it is crazy weird

Not a big deal because it obviously doesn't affect you. Like I said before, I'm not hungry but not ignorant enough to know that world hunger is not an issue for some people.

Asking where someone is from is unstable because I am curious about the matchmaking? Exaggerate much?

Because you’re asking a bunch of people where they’re from? And I’m sure giving your bs before or after, yea that’s unstable behaviour. How about if you don’t like it so much stop playing and go away. Plenty of people do, you clearly do not. Go do something else instead of clogging up the forums with your nonsense and asking people where they’re from.

So Skepple, I mean Canuckler beg pardon.. tell me, do you feel like the p2p quality in this franchise is good/acceptable and you have never been in a game where it is just impossible to time a fastball no matter what?

I have never had that happen, I’ve played guys with bad connections from DR, PR, Japan, but still been able to hit ‍️ sorry that you guys can’t

See now I know you're lying. Because I used to associate with a bunch of top players when I was still good at this game and they all mention this issue as a consistent and unpredictable variable in the online environment of this franchise which pretty much ruins the entire experience. I'm not gonna name drop here, but they are a lot more reputable than you are Ske, I mean Canuckler. All due respect of course. So each and everyone of these guys are just full of it I guess.

Also I never said it's literally impossible to hit. You just have to sell out on it which makes you extremely vulnerable to everything offspeed once they figure that out, which only takes half an inning if you're playing someone with a brain or some experience in this game.

with all due respect Raes - Skepple for years has been literally one of the best players in the world - to say his reputation is not as good as some others is insane - Skep is in the 1% of performance - i remember years past seeing him overall number 1 in events - we have known each other for years - you included

In events? Okay. That's awesome. I'm talking about guys who compete for the Summer and Fall circuits. Nothing against "The Canuckler" (he doesn't want to be called Skepple), I did say all due respect in my previous comment. That wasn't me being sarcastic.

i mean i referenced a singular type of thing here talking about how good Skep is - i am sure he plays at a high level in RS - you are trying to split hairs here diminishing what his skillset is - at the end of the day he is absolutely one of the best on this forum, and in game

why you guys are going back and forth i have no idea i just wanted to jump in with my 2 cents

Because he felt like interfering about something that doesn't concern him, replying to me when I did not mention him once. I'm sure he's able but don't use events as proof lol, I have been a top the events leader boards multiple times in the past and every time someone brings it up to flatter me I cringe because it literally means nothing.

you remind me of Mitch in a way - always downplaying great accomplishments - you say it means nothing and in reality you are correct in that ALL OF THIS means nothing - this is a videogame world to begin with - so i hear you it does mean nothing in the grand scheme of things - that all being said, what you and Skep have done and do are great accomplishments compared to the average MLB gamer

Mitch would never act like this lol

mitch was a whiney cringe baby who lost his mind and had other mental issues i am sure - a guy who was truly terrific at the game and always said how bad he was - analogous to being the best golfer in a 4some but then complaining to the other 3 all 18 holes - i personally enjoyed his wit and character - but he was overall a very negative dude - i prefer RAES even though he can be spicy sometimes

i've known some of you guys on this forum for years too so its weird to see you bicker

For me it was Christmas Day when he was still being a weird little cringe cry baby I knew he had something bothering him. For Skepple it was when he tried to get the FBI involved with JudgeistheGoat and for Rae it was everything.

The fbi involved? Lol what? the guy literally called my work phone and cell to threaten me. There’s random internet arguing than there’s taking things to a whole other level. I’d say some action was warranted.

Is that why you changed your username? How on earth does a random get a hold of hour work and cell phone number tho?

Because Skepple is my last name

Ah. Aren't there many Skepples around?

No It’s not a common name.

Gotcha. Guess I understand better now why it was an issue. See, we can be civilized.

You could have begun to be civil by not calling his name out repeatedly, just to be a [censored], after he asked for it to stop.

You view yourself as an objective fan trying to better the game but then come on here and let emotion and personal history run wild attacking or annoying the people who would need to be on your side to enact any real change.

I guarantee you would get a lot more reasonable people to take your complaints more seriously if you were in fact civil more often

Tigers haven't been relevant since Kevin Costner decided to hang it up for the love of the game. Enjoy one more day of people tuning in

Accountability. Precedent. Better future business practice.

I think people are overreacting with this class action lawsuit BS, but you need to change your mindset brother. It's not about you or me and "what do I get out of it", such a lawsuit doesn't evolve around you and your wallet. It evolves around the things mentioned above.

Respectfully, no I don't. I'm a realist. A class action suit is absurd. That is what I was referring to. Do I think they need to fix their act? Yes. Do I think a class action suit would lead to accountability and better business practices more effectively than if done by their customers refusing to use their product/spend another dime/minute on the game? Absolutely not. The monetary gain is the only incentive to a class action suit and I was trying to let people know how miniscule it would be.
