So basically what I've decided to do is create an new account. Mid season, with restrictions. I can't buy or sell on the marketplace, no money allowed, no offline grinding. It's all online and the only way I can get new rewards is packs or XP gained from playing Ranked, Events, BR.

It's so much fun because all these cards I would scoff at mean so much to the account. Like Johnny Cueto for example carried me through the events to get Correa, a monumental piece for the team. It's just so much more fun not taking anything for granted and being so barebones.

I made a series out of it if you're interested. 2 episodes a week. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlhzIlaE5taH1ZyhtrLcZiWNdVTyh-JF-

mate this is 100% what i have been doing since april - it is the best way to play this game for sure - 0 grinding, 0 collecting, playing with whatever i earn and i play mostly RS or Events thats it - some conquest early on in the year but nothing else

Not using the market at all is so so difficult. I find myself ALWAYS wanting to pick someone up

For the last couple of years, I’ve made a second account where I don’t allow myself to use meta cards or any card that cost more than 30k. It’s crazy, I always have more fun and play more on the second account. Last year I made ws for the first time with a lineup of dudes like Kyle Farmer, Lars Nootbar, and Max Schrock.

PS - loved your content in the past, I’ll be sure to check out this series

Thank you, also this is why I love this game. You can be really creative if you try to be like this.

Love this idea! I currently have almost every card in the game and 1.6 million stubs (still NMS believe it or not) and it's honestly a bit boring.

I couldn't do your online-only strategy though (not good enough). I need the best cards to be competitive online.

I would modify your strategy to something like this:

1. Start from scratch
2. NMS obviously
3. No flipping
4. Must keep cards I earn and no selling bosses high and buying low (like how I sold Musial and Honus for close to 200K each)

PS I haven't been brave enough to use Johnny Cueto online, but he's currently my favorite offline pitcher. For some reason I dot with him like no other.

Love thisssss

Not to be a [censored] to the devs, but come on maaaan. This game just needs a fresh overhaul. Very stale. No bs I legit can't even tell the difference in the games trailers the last 4ish years.

This may be the first one I legit pass on, or just wait till late season when it's dirt cheap if we even get one

This is the first year they really worked on small details. Not to mention the game looks incredible on PS5 in 4k

What small details and how do you know it to be true?

Well the diving animations are vastly improved a lot of the idle animations are improved they've done a good job with stances and all sorts of those little kind of things and I guess I know because I played the tech test

Honestly though Ray is really such a genuine awesome guy.

@ikasnu_psn said in Hi my name is Mistergraavy, I interviewed the best BR player in the world so you could learn how to go 12-0:

But does he know the sweet sensation of fresh grass on your toes?

Wellllll he is in Vegas right now with a buncha CCs and they're livingggggg it up rn so. I'd say he's probably a grass lover yeah.

@Collin_SDS_PSN

I still don't have this back and have made MULTIPLE follow ups. Please can someone help me?? There's no way I can get Jackie without Sixto and he dissapeared back when Burned came out and I replaced him in my rotation.

I understand having a high volume but this has been a LONG time. Can someone respond please? @Victor_SDS_PSN

Anyone know about how long it takes? I was top 4 in a challenge not long ago and I'm dying for the banner

Holy batman, dude why is your pitch speeds so slow?...is this like Veteran or All Star with default pitch speeds?. You're trying to give a tutorial on the game but your pitch speed is at a setting a total beginner would be playing at or maybe an elderly person that's losing their vision. You basically have to wait for days on a fastball....If you're new at the game I guess its okay or maybe you set it at a slower speed for the the video?

It’s very simple, he’s playing someone online. Obviously there’s no choice in settings when playing ranked online, All-Star is the default. The reason his pitches look so slow is because online when you’re pitching the game slows down after you release the ball so the server can sync up you and the hitter better. During that short slow down window on your end, the hitter is seeing the pitch delivered about a half second or so after it was delivered, but because of the slow down on your end it syncs up without giving the hitter any lag. On the hitter’s end the pitch looks like normal speed. You’ll also notice this same slow down for less than a second after the batter makes contact with a pitch, and it’s done for the same syncing reasons. If you’re old enough to have played older baseball games online like MVP on PS2 or 2K on the Xbox 360 and PS3 then you know that lag was always a major issue when hitting during online play. Online play was not so fun and very frustrating because you pretty much were forced to always press the swing button early all the time due too the lag if you wanted the actual swing to be on time. Online and offline play were basically two different games. This slowdown you’re seeing prevents that from happening and makes it easy to jump back and forth between online and offline play without having to change your swing timing.

Also, this dude is putting himself out there making content. That’s hard enough as it is, no need to bash someone over the level they play on. If you honestly feel like you have nothing to learn from someone’s video because you think they play at a lower level than you (which isn’t the case with this guy) then just move along without trying to be insulting. It is actually possible to not try to make people feel bad about themselves on the internet. Good rule of thumb is if you wouldn’t say something to a stranger in real life then you probably shouldn’t say it to them online.

That was kind. Didn't expect that. Thank you for being you.

can you post a video of you hitting or pitching please?

Do you want gameplay or like a tips video? My channel has either. I did an entire series starting from scratch and making world series. I also made tip videos

I was referring to the dickwad that was trying to [censored] on you for your "pitch speeds"

Oops awkward.... LOL

This.... Is literally a hall of Fame game in ranked seasons? Lmao I can prove it if you want.

I usually do hitting tips so this is super new for me .

Yes I use analog. I suck at pinpoint but imagine using my video AND being a pinpoint user. Unstoppable!!

What a weird take.

Update: Still nothing and I've sent a follow up email to no avail can't get Jackie if I can't get my Sixto back. I have video proof of this card being in my rotation. Infact, I even have stats I can provide which wouldn't be possible if I didn't have the card... Please someone help me it's been over a calendar month now...
