The softball version was because that game played like a slow pitch softball league with grown men playing on little league fields. Pitch speeds were slower, but it was a homerun derby. Every swing was either an out or a homerun.

@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN Okay. Well, lesson learned. Thanks for the intel.

Dang. I’m definitely not buying 27 until it’s $20. All I want is to play with NLB players and I’ve been grinding and keeping up with programs only because I want to be in a position to get a NLB player that requires it. But JFC. I’m beginning to think SDS hates the Negro League players.

Big ups to the geezers in here. I’m 47 and was about give up the game, but hearing yall in here makes me think, f it. I’ll be here for MLBTS40. Lol

The only solution would be once a match is made, backing out gives someone a loss. Not sure if that’s possible, but I would support it.

Home hunting is lame. I wouldn’t mind it as much if people chose different stadiums. I play as the visitor at Coors so much it makes me sick.

And before the Coors gang comes after me, I get the argument for “rewarded swings.” I’m just saying, the same old visuals is boring to me. I don’t mind playing as the road team, but if I could back out after I see it’s Coors that would be awesome.

@Dolenz_PSN By definition, Negro League are different from other Legends. I can’t fault SDS for releasing an end game Trevor Hoffman or Ken Singleton before releasing an end game Nolan Ryan or JR Richards. Thats more of a [censored] shoot.

But Negro League players are a unique and distinct feature in this game. We aren’t arguing that ALL end game Negro League players should be released already, but that once end game-caliber cards start getting released, Negro League players should be sprinkled in with them. We shouldn’t have to wait for the end of the game cycle to use an end game Negro League player.

If you think of the Negro League series as its own team, like the Yankees, Braves, etc., the Negro League team would be the only team without a 99 overall. Some teams have more than others, but a fan of any major league team that plays this game has a least couple end game caliber cards of their favorite team that they can use. Negro League fans have none.

I agree with Dolenz. No card, no program, no special release whatsoever commemorating in any way the events of 9-11.

I think SDS is making us feel what the Negro League players felt like: knowing we deserve something but making us wait.

I think the matchmaking could improve, for sure. Not sure how it can be done but it would be nice.

@MycoSynth-Valde-_MLBTS I don’t remember Steve Garvey ever being in the game…

It’s maddening.

@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN Yeah, not having Ernie and Jimmie is painful.

Legends I miss being in MLBTS:

Dave Winfield
Ty Cobb
Reggie Jackson
Rickey Henderson

What about you?

@Player99_MLBTS People were passionate and mean-spirited. There were regulars who you could guarantee were going to come on and get people riled up. The topics weren’t as important as the personalities. I guess you had to be there.

@Player99_MLBTS Well, to name a few, there were some very passionate discussions about:

• CAPs in DD
• Pepe Alazar
• Matchmaking based on Internet strength (one guy used to bring up the Internet as the answer to all problems. Not saying he was wrong, I don’t know. It was just funny at the time)
• Of course, guys used to challenge each other to games all the time and stream them on Twitch for the whole community to see. Those we fun)

There were tons. Someone else might comment and jog my memory about some of the others.

Yep. I remember you. I played franchise only for the first ten years or so of the game. I started dabbling in DD in ‘15, and then got really into it from ‘16-‘23. I post on the forums once in a while now, but from ‘16-‘22 or so there were quite a few characters on here. There were some legendary arguments. Haha. I remember you more as a peacemaker, though. If I recall, you always gave reasoned, thoughtful responses and didn’t attack anyone, only the occasional sarcastic barb.

@Dolenz_PSN You’re right. Sorry. 90 and 91. Still unusable in H2H

@SaveFarris_PSN That is a Dodger card.

@globetrotter360_PSN Lmbo. You’re tone policing, thinking that makes a difference. Get out of here with that.

When there will be end game Negro League players, please? They should be sprinkled throughout. We have a million 99s already and 16 versions of Carlos Beltran but not a single NL card over 88.

It’s just bad planning. I hate SDS for that. I never criticize them for so many different things; I get how hard it is to make a game. But man, it’s September and we don’t have a single NL player that would crack anyone’s lineup. A [censored] shame. Don’t buy the license if you don’t want to share them with us.

All yall at SDS can take a long walk off of a short pier. I hate yall…
