First time I’ve made good. Got Arenado. First 100k plus card of the year

I was under the impression if your batting power was over “diamond” perfect/perfect fly balls were no doubt homers. Just did the challenge that should’ve have been an easy 2 runs for showdown where you need two runs in two innings. Face a lefty from the Red Sox don’t remember the name. Using Braun who is 125 C and 114 P against lefties blasted a perfect/perfect fly ball that died at the warning track. I’ve taken a month long break (sucks I missed out on Chipper in inning 3) because the game had grown tiresome. I came back hoping that patches had fixed fielding and hitting a bit. Am I missing something?

@KOTANK1334 said in Just got screwed out of a showdown moment.:

Just got a "Defeat" for a mission where I need to score 2 runs and an extra base hit off Micheal Kopesch,

I scored my 2nd run and it even shows it on the score board. I made the final out on the base path waaay after the final run needed had crossed the plate. But it show's that I made the 6th out. Anybody else get Hosed like this before in these showdowns? first time something like this has happened.

Meanwhile at SDS

@dmc04005 said in Finally Decent Pack Luck:

I grinded showdown for stubs and XP last night, got up to 50k, bought. 20 pack. First pack...Trout. My second. I’m through the roof excited. 14 packs later, Rendon.

Then with the stub profits, I ended up buying 2 50 packs...first one I pulled Alonso. Meh. The second one though, oh boy. Altuve, Yelich, Freeman, Lindor, and almost 20 golds. They were totally juiced last night

I’m telling you! I think it may be a hint of an upcoming stub discount...but that’s my tin foil hat thoughts...

I think their packs are that way because unlike Madden and FIFA they offer a ton more free higher tier cards through grinding quickly. Madden has them but it takes a bit. Nobody is as generous as 2k though. Literally got a free pink 96 Kobe yesterday

@Hikes83 said in Event Games:

To be fair, this event was announced long in advance. You shoulda had plenty of time to grind out some more FOTF

Yea you’re right, just didn’t lol. I’m not good enough to consistently get vouchers so I have to grind MTO and they’re exhausting

Nice uniforms as well

Been trying to save up for Trout now for about 4 years and still haven’t made it. Was sitting on 140k and decided to give myself an ultimatum. Buy a bunch of packs and see what happens, hit some good stuff, or move on to my ever growing backlog of games. (Still haven’t finished Death Stranding...)

Bought a 50 pack and 20 pack bundle and 5 Headliners. Ended up pulling:

Normal Packs:
Yelich
Strausburg
Freeman
Springer (Always upsetting)
Harper
Morton

HL’s:
Baez
Cobb

Ended up selling Cobb and Freeman because I had them already and bought another 20 pack bundle and Flaherty (Last card I needed for AL Central) and pulled a Chapman

Pretty stoked since I was hitting the end of 2nd inning Program lull that always happens. I don’t count them but I also got a diamond bat, sponsorship, and stadium sound...

Anyone else who waited to long to collect enough FOTF cards and are getting absolutely hammered in the event games. I’ve only got a Albies, Gallo, and Torres to help. Been playing guys who did the right thing and got 10-11 while I bat Tim Tebow in my seven hole....

@Raider52Morrison said in Unbalanced rosters:

why the hate on my Dodgers? Not our fault we produce star players . What do you want to play with a bunch of Reds, Twins, A's players????????????

Produce stars but no rings....#foreversecond

Have you tried placing The ball elsewhere? In the corners, low, high? Also if you’re hanging troubling avoiding grading disc think about buying digital next year

@MikeTheSpike23 said in Hey SDS.....STOP GIVING ME ALTUVE PULLS!!!!!:

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

I understand your reasoning. However, I believe the real issue is that there is no season this year. Trout would probably be getting bumped up as well as nameless diamonds and golds next week while prospect cards stay the same. I believe it is a good way to introduce us to real prospects and get you more invested in them which will be cool as we see these guys develop. It’sa fantasy game though, play online with updates MLB rosters for real deal stuff. The truth is Cobb would get ordered with his batting stance in today’s game but he’s a 91 and I rake with him against Kluber ‍️

@MathMan5072 said in Event opponenets:

Just an observation...over half of my opponents are gold level or above. The remaining are In silver. I am not good. So, all of my games are against people who have not won many games.

I know xp level does not equate to ability. And, this isn’t meant to be a complain post. I’m at silver 40 and I pass no judgement on those who get to the play the game more. But, last year I know I would face a lot of bronze players in events.

What is this? Is the matchmaking different? Have the quarantines reduced the number of new players? Have the quarantines just allowed people to play more?

I play a LOT. I just figured In events I would run across more people who play casually. Any thoughts?

Combination of all the above. Also HR Derby grinders are all over.

@markdavo4 said in MTO Points:

I swear I just got double points in stage 1 a moment ago. I was sitting on 30 for the Jays and then I hid the mid season evaluation which should be 11 pts max on Veteran (right?).....and next minute I'm on 52 points (i.e. awarded 22 pts) and I've got Vladdy. Am I missing something here? Do I get extra points because I'm winning with a longshot or something?

You May have accomplished other missions apart from MTO check your mission list and see. I never got double when I finished with Rangers so it’s either a glitch or something else

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.

Tatis is nasty. Albies is great against lefties. Gallo is ok as a pinch hitter. Bell is super fun, lots of power and he’s a switch hitter

@BatOsc said in Jackie Robinson program Stars:

Do you guys know if 35 stars in the first stage of the Jackie Robinson is the max amount you can get? I need 10 extra stars to get the 5 pack bundle, I would get them if I do the exchange in the first stage but I already have 35/35 because completed the other stuff in 1st stage.

Not planning using him online *
Thank you for your help.

They don’t carry over to stage 2. Just do the miserable conquest challenges. I did it putting him as lead off. Somehow got the 3 triples quick and then took forever getting doubles. After that get your hits online and you should get the steals along the way.

If you are a player that can consistently complete showdown without fail showdown is the way to go. If not probably HR Derby. I like doing MTO. Gets TA and XP for in game rewards.

@MaxHarvest said in 125k stubs:

Only if you want to complete them all, I did, but with high level diamonds flowing like rain it’s def not needed. Those fotf cards play as well as the collection cards. Mantle was my dads fav player and first year in game so they sold me on nostalgia. But it’s not nessacary to compete

Yea my goal is to collect them all but trying not to “pay to play”‘ I’ll drop a 20 spot every once in a while but that’s very rare

It is an indisputable fact that the more 20 spots you drop the faster you will complete the collections.

It's really just a question of how much willpower you have to overcome the fear of success.

Dropping 1k on PSN cards tonight.

Well if that's the best you can do, I guess you will have to make that work, it is what it is.

What’s a reasonable figured? Just want to be the best
