@Teak2112_MLBTS Literally how is it a TA replacement if not every team has a card? There is nothing, at all, that would make anyone think of this content as TA related other than them saying so. I'm not even hating on the content, but there is no world where it has anything to do with TA.

@Pergo_MLBTS I'm glad the decline of the game is funny to you. The last weekend of an inning being double XP is standard. This XP path is not.

@Pergo_MLBTS That's very likely not going to be remotely enough for most people. Making it the weekend instead of a full week is just a joke and yet another slap in the face.

@SavageSteve74_PSN From what I saw, there's only one real solution, which they won't take: ban capture cards. If they don't do that, I don't see how anything else they do will work.

I don't mind it so much, other than there obviously needs to be some graphical tweaking. I had a ball that JUST clipped a corner (we are talking pixels overlapped) that was a strike, as it should be. However, in the same game, with the same pitcher, I had a ball clip the top of the zone, at the center, where more of the ball was in the zone (not much more, but it was obviously more), and that was somehow a ball. Personally, I don't care how it is, I just want consistency, and it's good that that is what they are going for, but it doesn't look like they are quite there yet.

@go4stros25_PSN You forgot "just stop playing the game", which, from the number of people who have Randy versus the number who have Acuna, a lot of people have taken that option.

@SavageSteve74_PSN Bans will do exactly jack and ****. If they can't find a way to stop the software from working, all bans will do is change which accounts are cheating, not the number of cheaters.

@Ditka06_MLBTS It's probably even worse than those numbers show. It would only show if you USED it. There are certainly people who got Acuna and never used him. VERY likely anyone that has Randy has used Randy.

@PAinPA_PSN Speaks to both how absurd the second inning path is and how many people have simply walked away after a single inning.

@DemIsE4_XBL Remember, he literally said in the video "if you have 700 packs". I don't that that was a number pulled out of thin air. I think people are MASSIVELY underestimating the impact the MS part is having. The MP part is more annoying, to individuals, and more visible, but the MS part is what is destroying the game. But hey, at least the cheaters will get the card from MS that requires you to play on All-Sta while the ones that don't cheat but aren't good enough can't, so that's super awesome. /s

@Dodgers_1890_PSN Some people have more money than sense. Has nothing to do with ROI. There isn't any. It's so they can brag to their friends that they "made" world series. Same concept as executives hiring high-end escorts to be seen with them. Everyone knows it's BS, but this somehow makes them feel like bigger/better people. At its root, I suppose it's just a form of self delusion. The one caveat to that is that having it run MS non-stop would certainly get you WAY more stub than using that money to buy stubs from SDS. The cheat bots are VERY likely the main reason Ohtani costs 700k+.

The weirdest part for me was the first card it happened to, I exited the game, came back, and it was fine. With the second one, it didn't matter what I did, it froze ever single time I looked at it (New Threads Nick Castellanos). I just gave up and stopped playing. I didn't trust other actions to not cause freezes.

That fact that the first innings bosses are cheaper than the second inning bosses (at least last I checked) with a week to go in the inning says all that needs to be said. I'm pretty sure I've never seen that before.

It's pretty widespread, and random. There's several people talking about it on reddit. Started after the patch.

@LadySwampfox_XBL I think you are putting too much thought into it. Certainly more than the CPU does. It "works" in the broadest sense of the word, but it's not very good. It doesn't take that long to make a squad. You will be much better off just doing it yourself.

@Dodgers_1890_PSN I don't know, but, frankly, the individuals don't matter. The ability to cheat is what matters. Until they find a way to keep the cheat from working, no other action matters. The cheating will continue.

@LuvMyXBOX_XBL He's talking about XP, not stubs.

@LadySwampfox_XBL I honestly think they are just trolling with conquest now. You have two "repeatable" options: 10 games for non-sellable cards or 15 for a gold card. A single gold card. If that's not a middle finger, I don't know what is.

@TripleH-4481_PSN I check every new content drop, hoping they will finally release an actual repeatable conquest map (they haven't) or fix the error that was requiring All-Star for the reward card in the New Threads Mini-Season (they haven't). Obviously, yeah, if the content continues the way it is, I will quit bothering to check the game and obviously I'll never buy or even look at it again, because why would I? This is not a "oh, they might fix it next year" situation like NHL is. This is a "fix it soon or I'm done for life" one. I've put thousands of hours in MLB. I don't want to walk away. That doesn't mean I won't. They are taking us for granted. That is a mistake.

They are very actively pushing casual single player DD players away, which is insane, since that is most of the DD player base. Still no repeatable for packs conquest. Requiring playing on All-Star for the reward card in Mini-Seasons. Preparing to require certain difficulties for things as simple as XP rewards in the reward path (the only reason it would say get X HRs on any difficulty, which it never has before). I have played very little this year, despite this being my main game for the last decade. It is very clear they don't want people that don't spend money, apparently fundamentally misunderstanding that the FTP players are required to prop up the whale economy. They also just don't seem to be putting much effort at all into this year. Sets and Seasons sucked, but at least they were trying. I'm not so sure that's true this year. Certainly doesn't seem like it. It looks like they've already checked out, knowing what is coming next year.
