You’re so much worse than that guy

@drnkmnky13 said in Just beat someone begging for wins in the event lol:

Asking and begging are 2 diff things. Theres lots of people who literally play events for missions(including myself).

I love how your first thought is that the person is a kid lol.. u dont like it? Just say no and move along. But no you instead made a useless, pointless post for what reason??

This guy obviously begs for wins...

9 inning games are great, but 45 mins+ is often too long for people with lives. I know events and br games are 3 innings, but you can’t use your preferred team. Would be great if they had a ranked seasons with shorter games. The “World Series” rewards could be slightly less given that the games are shorter.

Just got the boss pack on the spin and it’s nowhere to be found. Any ideas?

Does anyone actually like how easy they’ve made it to get all the best players in the game? Am I the only one that actually enjoyed having to put some effort in to build my team? I played for one hour and had a full team of 90s... what’s the motivation to keep playing? I don’t see how this game lasts. 3 days in and I’m already bored. I can’t be the only one.

Personally I would have preferred they went in the completely opposite direction. Cap out the rewards at 85s to start. That would make silvers, golds, and live series players actually have a purpose other than for collections (they might as well be hats or jerseys). And when you got that first diamond, it would feel like an accomplishment. If you pulled a diamond, it would feel like a huge win. Call me crazy, but it seems like that would be a fun game.

Season 3 doesn’t start for 4 months. The majority of people won’t last that long. It will keeps things fresh for diehards. But I don’t see how this game holds the interest of the majority of people. Maybe I’ll be wrong. But I’m already bored and usually I don’t start feeling like this until month 2-3.

I expected this to happen when they introduced it (insert LeBron meme).

Same. But I was hopeful they would come up with something interesting. Now it’s just the same game as every other year fast forwarded a few months when every card is a 99. My favourite part of the game is when shitty cards are relevant at the beginning of the year. And getting a diamond is actually exciting.

Well to each their own. I play a few hours a day and have so much content and cards I haven’t touched, this will keep me busy and entertained for months. Last year I ran out of content after a week and was playing the mystery map over and over. I’ll take this model every day of the week.

The issue last year was they got rid of team affinity for some reason. It’s the same game this year just with team affinity added back in. Having the easily attainable 97 rewards just makes every other reward less excited. Just my opinion though.

I do get what you’re saying and I’m sure there will be people who decide they have the team they want early on. To me, the addition of the captains is a cool twist, the variance of Mini Seasons and the additions they made there, the storylines addition and keep in mind the game has been out less than a week. 1 day for regular release. Who know what is in store?

But I appreciate a good debate and you aren’t just arguing like some people do so while I hope you are wrong, I do see your points.

I hope I’m wrong too. I love the game. But I’m disappointed that I think it’s going in the wrong direction.

They tell you that you have a 1:10 chance of getting a diamond. You got a diamond in one of your 10 packs. What more do you want? There are 34 live series diamonds. Of those, only 7 are worth more than 75K. That means if you buy 10 headliner packs there’s about a 20% chance of you getting a diamond where you will break even or come out with more stubs than you spent.

The moral of the story is you shouldn’t buy packs.

The community has been quite vocal about how SDS has capped out rewards early on and nerf what should be good cards (April POTMs for example) just to meet these requirements. SDS has listened to the community, thought outside the box when it comes to how to improve on the fantasy card-collecting type of modes of sport games. We understand that you may not like it, but the majority of the community asked SDS to come up with something different and they did.

All I’m saying is I think the way the game is currently structured will have no longevity. And a very small percentage of people playing in April will be playing in May and June. That is a poor business model. That is my opinion and maybe I’ll be wrong. Hopefully I’ll be wrong... but I doubt it.

Not sure if you can speak on behalf of the community nor that the "majority of the community asked them to". Some will like it, some won't.

I'm not speaking on behalf of the community, the community has been speaking for itself over the past several years.

This is a ridiculous comment. Of course you’re speaking for the community. That’s literally exactly what you did. Which is fine, but own it.

You are truly stubborn in your ways, my friend. You came to wrong place to get your confirmation bias needs here! All you have to do is check out the history of this community forum, all the other community forums on this game, and the history of social media articles on this game to find out the majority voice about this topic. Either you learn to enjoy the game or not is your choice. I am willing to bet your prediction of this game not lasting is not going to pan out like you think. I wish you happiness in life, my friend, and maybe you should go enjoy something other than this video game in order to find that happiness!

Surely you see the irony in your refusal (stubbornness) to acknowledge a view different from your own.

@Opus18642_XBL said in If you don't add a player from a pack to the lineup immediately are they gone forever?:

"You should still be able to "see" 95 Bob, you would just have to remove 84 Bob to add him to your lineup"

That's what I thought, but it wouldn't show last night until I completely remove the 84. Maybe it's me.

This is right. You can’t see the guy at all if you have another version of him in your lineup. So if you had 86 jeter at short, but wanted to replace him with 99 jeter, you wouldn’t be able to even see 99 jeter until you removed 86 jeter from your lineup

You can’t have this because people will take advantage and farm pxp by playing causal for all cpu games. The only way around that is to allow you to play casual but drastically limit the pxp that can be earned depending on the mode you play. But I imagine you wouldn’t be happy about that either.

It’s 45 minutes easy. I don’t know why anyone would have an issue with an additional mode. If you don’t want to play it, don’t play it. But it’s another option for those of us who can’t commit a ton of time to 9 inning games.

A 50 pack bundle is 75K. The odds of getting a diamond in any standard pack is 1 in 50. There are 34 live series diamonds, only 7 of which are worth more than 75K. So even if the odds of getting every diamond was exactly the same (pro tip: it isn’t - you’re far more likely to get 8K Kershaw than 98K Scherzer) then it would still make absolutely no sense to buy packs instead of just purchasing individual cards on the market. Packs are gambling. They’re fun but the house always wins.

Eck gets crushed for me. Gagne and Nen are the only righties I’ve had any success with. Nen’s splitter is NASTY. He got me out of a bases loaded jam in the 9th to make World Series

Yeah if you’re 18-18 you’re just not as good as you think you are. The game has issues but everyone is dealing with them. The best players are always the best players

To be fair, the problem was probably the 12 times your contact result was worse than good/good.

You had a .667 average and 2.000 slug on PPs. Can’t really ask for more than that. You got unlucky on Good/Squared, but that happens when your sample size is 3.
