You guys just won't let that cheating scandal go.

Logged in this morning and there's another flash sale? Did the last one end and this one started? Maybe I'm going senile.

Maybe they're trying to get the "St. Patrick's Day" Trout under 100K...

@GoozeFn_PSN said:

@MarioMendoza935_XBL I think this is entirely dependent on who you are replacing them with. Who are you using at CF, 3B and 2B?

All switch hitters, of course!

I'll have to go look...

Well... I finally got to the point where I can collect one of the following (given how much I play, it's a little sad):

1. Mural J-Ram: I do like his cards in general.

2. Cityscapes Mantle: I usually struggle with him. Maybe because he stands so close to the plate? There was a TA card years ago that I liked. Remember the glory days of TA? I know @ericulous1_psn does. Let's not get him fired up again (or me).

3. Spotlight Chipper. I do like Chipper cards.

So... I guess it's between J-Ram or Chipper, unless someone can sell me on Mantle. What do you guys think?

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE! For at least the next month or so until 15 more switch hitters are released.

Companion app is trash again.

Yup. The wheels just spin...

@Dolenz_PSN thank you for doing this so I don't have to

If I were you (we all are) I would buy and use cards of players I really like and ignore collections until it’s a favourite player of yours.

I love how the other team in mini seasons can use the same Ps over and over and no health decrease that’s impressive

PEDs are rampant in Mini Seasons.

I'm in the 24th game of my mini season and my guys are up to 177 games on the stats page. No wonder there'll be a lockout in 2027.

@MarioMendoza935_XBL Ud probably have a good chance I don’t think many of the mlb guys are actually good besides like snell.

I'm proudly 3-0 against Real 99's. Snell would crush me.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN said:

@MarioMendoza935_XBL yeah it’s never the mlb guys it’s always low a high a or aa guys.

I wanna play cover boy Judge. I'd crush him. If not, I'd sell my Xbox, buy a PS5, change my username and never speak of it again.

Got my 85+ pack and got an 85. Mission accomplished.

@abolish-irs_XBL said:

Is he able to apply for a real 99 series card?

I've played a few Real 99's over the last year and they were always minor league guys.

@WillyDub_PSN said:

Wouldn't be shocked if they phone in another year to focus on mobile.

That is a great play on words

I'm in the App right now and it's painfully slow. Also tried to download some data using the APIs tonight, and they're taking minutes to run where they normally take seconds.

I started participating in the DD forum in 2020. I had played RTTS for years, so I had a lot of questions about how DD worked. There were a lot of folks who were really cool and patiently gave advice. There was certainly negativity, but I don't remember it being this bad. There were a bunch of guys I followed out here because there posts were hilarious (i.e. @schnauzerface_psn ). Sadly, many of those folks have moved on.

In short... Seems way more negative now, to me.

New conquest coming today that has a repeatable mission for 20 Show packs. Thats a W.

https://x.com/MLBTheShow/status/2057889707053482457

Definitely a W. I think in the old days the USA map was repeatable for 20, and I count 11 teams on this map.

Ooooffff... sorry, @dolenz_psn

Prime Ted Simmons, as a Cardinal.

Plus... another switch hitter. Weird, as we just had Santana as a Chase pack (switch hitter, Catcher secondary).

I'm getting that tingly feeling that a Flash Sale is coming today. Or, it could be a pesky rash again. Possibly both.

@Teak2112_MLBTS said:

The main thing is its really a continuation of last years model:

I agree. When this year started, I thought... "OK. We're going to get the same basic overall model as 2025. So long as they beef up TA and fix the things that are broken, I'll be OK."

Well...

1. They didn't fix the things that were broken (I'm looking you square in the eye, mini season stats. BTW, I'm in the 20th game of my CityScapes 9-inning mini season, and my guys have all played 177 games. Are they moonlighting? I didn't put that in their contract).

2. They broke things that didn't need fixing (User interface/menus).

3. They keep making the online program worse. I do enjoy online play from time to time, but smooshing (?) together online modes into a single multiplayer last year wasn't a great decision IMO. Then, to limit Events to "part time" this year? Yuck.

I'm still playing, but my hours are down from last year. I used to play every night before bed. Now, I'm watching "Love is Blind - Paris" with my wife. God help me.
