I'm almost to 700k. I think I play more than the average player, but my son had the nerve to get married on Double XP weekend.

It is really disappointing this year. The forums have devolved into a pit of despair. I'm enjoying gameplay (in general), but disappointed in lack of "content". The SDS forum moderators are gone. I remember when I first started posting here in 2020, people were really helpful and there were a lot of "fun" threads. Now, most threads just sink into yelling matches. Sad. I don't know where SDS's head is at.

@jaychvz_XBL I'm an old fart (turned 60 this year). I'm ok at the game. I usually play RS in the 600's. Not great, but not horrible. For BR, I'll win 5-6 games in an entry (or sometimes... None... Lol). I play all my offline on All-Star.

I'm definitely not the player I was in my 20's. I would love to take my 20-year-old self and see if I could make World Series. Probably not... But I'm so curious.

@Blind_Bleeder said in Ho Hum...:

Man, I'm just not feeling it. Every time my wife asks how the game is, I say something like "Eh. I'm just not engaged this year."

I literally said the exact same thing to my wife last weekend (this is @arvcpa by the way). I've played a little RS, I'm about 1/3 of the way through BR, 1/4 of the way through the USA map, and 1/4 of the way through the "main" Mini-Season. I did the Jeter program.

And... I'm not feeling it either. I don't rush to play the game as I used to do in prior years. For me, it's probably playing a ton in the past 4 years. That's OK. I'll just slow-roll it and see how the year plays out. Maybe there will be a new program I'm interested in.

I'm trying to be realistic since the regular season gets in gear this week. Maybe I'll get more excited.

Also... call me when they develop a true Next-Gen version... I'll be collecting Social Security by then.

This is about it...

L: Mini season stats. It can't be that hard to reset and calculate each season's stats correctly. I mean... You have to get stats right. This is baseball after all.

the announcers commentary is completely off

If you haven't seen "Brockmire", you need to. EVERYONE needs to.

Zero, nadda zilch

I'm a nice guy. I would have given you your challenge.

See? We're not all bad guys on this forum.

Me in MLBTS:

As an average player who plays online sometimes, I took a look at the Moonshot Event missions. And... this GEM:

"HR Allowed with Moonshot Pitchers" - give up 15 HR with the new Common pitchers (Glavine, Miller, etc.)

Easiest 5 points EVER.

I've got to hand it to SDS on this one. Made my day.

@ace_hardlight28_PSN said in players born in cali:

multi tasking

Both California and Angels:

Jim Edmonds (S1 Hyper)
Troy Glaus (S3 Retro Finest)
Tim Salmon (S1 2nd Half)
Kyren Paris (S1 Topps Now)
Willie Calhoun (S2 Topps Now)
Troy Percival (S3 Out of Position)

Use the Angels captains to boost 25 Power, and you should finish these in no time...

100th. It is TERRIBLE.

The best part for me... entering a Mini-season game, the lineups are blank. Then, there's a cut-scene of my pitcher (Card's Captain Wacha) talking to the catcher... who comes up to Wacha's waist. He's literally 3 feet tall.

I think I want the monsters back. But maybe not the Snapshots.

Let's have both...

@bostondirtdog21 said in Triple help:

What's the best strategy for hitting a triple?

It's funny you say this, because I wouldn't consider myself a bad player, but I haven't gotten one either. I'd say load up a giant park - Polo Grounds if you have it, or maybe San Francisco. I get a lot of weird bounces in SF.

@maddog7780 said in FVCKING TERRIBLE:

I think the took us for suckers. Just put Trout and Ohtani in the program and everything will be fine.

Man, I try to not to bash SDS too much. But... when I pulled up the program, first off, the player images didn't display. I hovered over the card, and when I saw an 88 Trout, I thought I was being trolled. Then... an 88 Ohtani? What are we doing here? I'm all for "Season Awards", but give us some juiced cards of lower end guys. Colt Keith? Yes! A sub-par Trout? No thank you.

I'm just speechless at this point.

Edit: I just realized we have to buy some of these cards? Yikes. Massive "L".

@LoneStarSheik said in Mike Trout Keep or sell?:

Sell or keep Live Series Trout?

In the long run, the trend is almost always down for the 90+ diamonds. Like others said, you may get a spike here or there due to a stub sale...

P.S. I actually enjoy my free 88 Trout from the "Season Award" series.

@TEXAS10PT I spend all day logging in and out so that I can "like" all my own posts. Someone has to do it.
