I had to switch to directional to finish his missions so I didn't smash my controller
I’m over here a grown man playing a video game cursing in the loudest whisper possible to not wake my family up...the only thing good that’s came from tonight is being able to test the durability of my gaming chair.... so far it’s withstood the beatings....

I literally came within one hit of completing it and the game decided to screw me over with line drive outs.
Dashboard man. Exit out before your final out and come back in. You’ll just restart that last game.
I love how every time you’re average player has a complaint, some elitist comes in swinging their di** and tells them they suck and it was easy for them. We get it you’re great at the game. For the other 90 that’s not in the 10% we just play to enjoy the game and collect cards. I hate how SDS seems to cater to that 10% rather than listening to the overwhelming majority of players...
In case you missed it. Gallo was pointing out the flaws that really matter....

Playing every game is fine. I wouldn’t like them giving me huge without the option to intervene. I do wish they’d start in 7/8th inning though instead 5/6th. Also don’t like that I’m on fire and momentum meter is spiked with a 3-0 Series lead and I start in 6th down 3....
Hopefully this will flood the market with diamonds and you can just get the ones you want much lower
I believe you can hit Square on the pack and it will bring up odds.

Got 4 hits my first game. 2 the next. 3 the next, then dashboarded the last game like twice until I got the final 2 hits. Pretty easily tbh
What do you mean by dashboard? Don't you basically quit and give up on that game if you leave it?
Dashboard means you go back to PS4 menu and click options on the show and close application. When you go back in it will pick up at beginning of game you just “dashboarded” it doesn’t work on Showdown but still does on moments. It’s the one bone SDS has thrown us this year

I’ve had poor luck. It’s worse this year because you can’t be excited with a good golds in hopes of it becoming diamond since there is no season. I still think it’s beyond criminal that they don’t offer a single free diamond in a 50 pack bundle.
Yeah seriously for the price you should get 1 of those flash sale live diamond packs not no ballin is a habit poopy pack
You know what's up when you buy a 50. Don't like it, don't buy them.
This is the type of response these forums are full of, that just never makes sense to me. Why do you need to say it? Obviously he can choose not to buy it lol. It’s ok to say I dislike something about the game and still love the game. SDS doesn’t need a knight in shining armor on these forums, they’ve already gotten the dudes money
@abbyspapa said in For those Who’ve gotten the shaft...:
If you are not going to invest in your own wind or solar farm with UPS backup or at least a reliable failover generator, can you really say you are putting in the 150% effort required for those 8 program points?
When you’re right you’re right. Heading to Lowe’s now
Can someone please give me some tips at this moment! Is it just me or is the hitting so broken that it's near impossible to make any headway on challenges. I'm consistently getting "good" contact with PATHETIC results. I have attempted the 8 hits in 3 games on Veteran at least 100 times and still haven't succeeded...I'm almost over this garbage already...
What are some of y’all’s hope for your team’s affinity future? Who are you hoping to see in the next update?
I’m a Braves guy, I’ve collected Albies already and got up to 70 affinity points for the Braves. Hoping we get a Deion Sanders card in the update. It’s a long shot but would be awesome
@nymets1987 said in 2nd Inning Showdown:
People hate on me when I say it but I can acquire a better team quicker in Madden because I can play on difficulties I want per mission. I still have tons of coins and training points and team ranked higher than ever for me in madden
Same in 2k. The packs are FAR more rewarding as well. Wish the show had more offline content to grind
Literally just need A SINGLE HR for this 7 game challenge. Can’t make this up. 2 Perfect/Perfect Flyballs that hit the wall on back to back hits....ON ROOKIE.
@InigoMontoya_75 said in Al Kaline:
Why does directional hitting help with this? I'll try anything now though, hitting a HR with Kaline feels impossible.
It takes away the gigantic PCI you get on Rookie which can cause you to get okay contact on what would be squared up on Veteran. Just so big it’s hard to center the ball. You can use it, I did. Just never press X or O. Swing only with Square
Then completing the showdown at this point. I managed to get the boss in Inning One without ever completing the Collections or Showdown and it looks likes I will do the same with this. (I already have 5 FOTF)
I just met David Price in the final. 14-15 with runners on 2nd and 3rd and Mike Piazza up with one out left. Runner on 2nd has 85 speed. Got a Perfect/Perfect Liner to oppo which would have given me the two runs easily because of the shift. Too bad the 2nd Baseman jumped 7 foot and robbed it out of the air. Links are to some more of my misery along the way.
Wanted guy on first to go back instead the scoring runner did with him. Then chaos ensued as it always does with the broken baserunning system.
Got the grounder I wanted on the do not allow a hit challenge. This was the first batter and the hit they got... I lost by 2 runs...This was worth 2..
Moral of the story Showdowns AI are OP or maybe I suck, I don't know. I hate that SDS took this route but appreciate that they designed the game to where you don't have to have it in order to get boss cards.
Remember how upset we were when we traded off Shelby Miller to the D-Backs. Looking back now, it has to be the best trade we’ve had in the last 10-15 years. Dansby and Inciarte are promising young guys and Miller is on the Brewers as a 53....
I mean to each his own. I think grinding Conquest is a better route. Gets you
TA, usually there’s challenges to complete as well, XP, and then a 10 pack bundle when you’re done. I use HR derby when I’m ready to turn off but close to the next level and don’t feel like doing another game.
@lucas8181 said in Video of great fielding and hitting from same game.:
Slow the video down and actually look at what you did. The PCI picture has always been a little off in this game. You were under the pitch and too far to the left when you swung, which would result in a weak fly ball. You got the correct result for your PCI placement.
also, you shared the same link twice. I'm sure that was the fault of SDS too.
Except your wrong. The simulation is based off the final travel of the ball which is dead center of his PCI. If you watch his PCI disappear and the place marker show itself it’s dead center....
I’ve had poor luck. It’s worse this year because you can’t be excited with a good golds in hopes of it becoming diamond since there is no season. I still think it’s beyond criminal that they don’t offer a single free diamond in a 50 pack bundle.
