What is wrong with the losers who pull this fecal matter? I mean, FFS... I hit a homerun to TIE the game in the 5th inning. That's worth not only quitting, but taking a petty, childish, tantrum-throwing swipe at your opponent on your way out?

Some people's kids...

Opponent: MorgDROL

My batter, Dansby Swanson, hit a no-doubt home run to left field, tying the game.

Before the ball landed, MorgDROL cut his internet. As a result, I lost credit for a 2-run HR by Swanson.

Why not just take your free win and move on

@mrad2010_xbl said in 99 Posey Incoming:

I talked to a baseball scout once that said Posey was the best high school baseball player he had ever seen. He’s the type of catcher to make all his pitchers better by calling the right pitchers and managing the game. Sure shot hall of famer in my book.

Was Clint Eastwood, Amy Adams, or Justin Timberlake the scout by any chance

@mubby_33 said in Best affordable bullpen?:

I picked up Mariano yesterday because why not. My bullpen is currently.
Finest Williams
Finest Anderson
Awards Kimbrel
Sig Rivera
Finest Hader
Sig Chapman
Sig Jansen

Who else do I need? Outside of WS or BR awards guys going for 1 million. Kimbrel is my worst guy but I pitch great with him, I just love the timing of his delivery.

If you collect 5 finest players you can get 95 Pat Neshek... he is pretty good

good morning people, after saying I was gonna quit sike I lied that ranked Justin verlander is gonna b mine but towards my first 3 games this morning ill sum it up

• Lost 1-0 because Larry Walker robbed Kyle Bombs homerun that was good good, did I mention he scored cuz of a early out of PCI homer?

-currently happening right now about to lose 2-0 after Miggy hit a out of zone early homerun in shippet (delete this stadium) and I hit a good good homer wit degrom lol jk he robbed me with [censored] Cedric Mullins 50 fielding.

so as you can tell my morning has gone absolutely to straight [censored]

Maybe instead of playing MLB the Show right now, you should go back to English class so you can learn proper grammar. You sound like Billy Madison when he references the Industrial Revolution and the Puppy who lost his way, we are all now dumber for trying to read what you wrote down.

Little much dude it's an online fourm u don't sorry you don't need perfect grammar.

You need to take an english lesson as well!

@raesONE said in 12-0 Flawless Idea for 21:

Ideas like these have circulated before. I don't think this will ever happen because despite them being unsellable, this would take a lot of stubs out of players pockets who live in BR because the demand for those exotic cards will drop substantially. Those million stubs should go to the players who did the work and put in the effort to get where they are, not to the developers (basically just erasing stubs from the game's economy).

So let's say everyone can buy a 99 Chipper Jones for 1M in a non-sellable pack, everyone has millions and so everyone who can't go flawless will get him this way instead. Then I go flawless in BR the legit way, but I can't unload my Chipper because the demand for the card is now nonexistent as a result of these packs.

As a regular 12-0 player myself I therefore strongly oppose the idea and I think this whole market development where everyone has millions of stubs but can't buy cards because of the lack of availability should be mitigated in a different manner.

I get this, but you are in the top 1% of this game as a player that can go 12 - 0 in BR in this game.

We need to think about the other 99% and make sure everyone else has some kind of chance at these BR rewards. Otherwise it systematically creates a kind of inequality of access which shouldn't be the case.

Sure, perhaps BR rewards should be somewhat hard and expensive to attain, but not the current state with this limited of a supply. Its a surprise that this kind of structural advantage for 12-0 players exists.

It massively rewards players who are already reaping more rewards than the rest of us considering how good they are at the game.

I don't agree with this. The game is already incredibly generous towards players to make stubs and attain free end game cards. The flawless rewards are the only cards that are somewhat exclusive for us that you describe as 1%.

But that's not even the main point. The main point is that I, and players like me, worked very hard to be able to go 12-0. Some of us on a consistent basis. We didn't wake up one day and all of a sudden we were able to have success, we spent countless amounts of hours upon hours to develop a skill level that puts us in this situation, endured all the frustrations that go along with going into a deep run. We have earned the right to be somewhat exclusive in this regard and to just walz into the conversation and say "hey, think about the other 99% of the game. I don't care about your achievements and efforts", I think that sounds very selfish and also a little bit entitled.

Yes, you worked hard and put in countless amount of hours to get to the level you are at over the years. That's a privilege unique to you and the 1% of those who can go on flawless 12 - 0 BR runs.

However the rest of us who are late to the party and havent been able to invest all that time don't have that same amount of privilege. Does that mean the other 99% of us should be held down and deprived of access to these BR rewards?

You should stand in solidarity with the other 99% of us who will never be able to go on a flawless run and encourage SDS to consider equal access for all of it's player base.

Plenty of us haven't been able to invest the time needed to get as good as players like you who can pull of these flawless BR runs - which is not necessarily a fault of our own. Newer players - especially in the last year or two - will always be at a structural disadvantage when it comes to the experience and reps that help one go on a BR run.

We can't catch up in that regards. That's a level of privilege that older players will always maintain - a definite structural advantage just on time played. You and other players are already standing on the top of the tower in that regards.

We are just asking that you allow the other 99% a chance to stand on the top of that tower as well - something the current BR reward system doesn't allow and essentially reinforces the current system of rewarding the 1% of players who are privileged to be incredible at this game.

Get good and stop complaining, both Billy Wagner and Chipper Jones have usable cards that are not BR rewards

This is just a stupid post

@College_Lefty93 said in How to decide which pitchers are the best in the game:

Hello everyone, hopefully you’re all having a wonderful day. I made this video a couple weeks ago explaining how I decide if a pitcher is good to use in MLB The Show 20. I still get asked about individual pitching attributes and I figured I would post this here. https://youtu.be/QtepamKjkp4

I watched this video and am subbed to your youtube... very good information... keep up the good work

@mubby_33 said in Best batter view?:

I suck and I just want 20 wins for Belli. I think I'm using strike zone 3 but clearly not working for me. My TV is huge but old so that does not help. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Make sure your TV is on game mode and use Strike Zone or Strike Zone High camera view

@Ikasnu said in The show 21:

Remove checkswings online all together. Make discipline an offline only attribute like HR/9.

Check swings are part of the game and should not be removed, if anything make check swings called strikes more often

@MottledAxe86 said in New event:

I'm 13-0 in this event, been good for me

Thought I recognized your name on the leader board.

Speaking of leaderboard. I was 10-1 on my last entry. Accidentally hit the quit/new entry button instead of leaderboard and ruined my run! Overall I'm doing better in this event than I thought I would. I know it is on HOF but it doesn't seem near as difficult/bad as the last HOF event. That was brutal!

I'm now 16-1, I did get Mike Trout as my 12 win reward on my first run

@myprecious_mlbts said in Seriously, SDS:

No Perez, at the freaking least Perez should be in this months program. Cole Calhoun had a solid month, Josh Smith got called up. Not one Ranger, wth man?

Easy on the Pepsi Fuller, they only announced Topps Now cards, they haven't announced the Monthly Awards yet

I am part Native American or "Indian", there was nothing wrong with the name Cleveland Indians, i thought it celebrated our heritage and was good for our people but unfortunately the cancel culture has come hard after our heritage and wants no recognition of Native Americans

@PhillyRunt44 said in Kenley Jansen reviews?:

So I've been getting lit up with finest Hendriks so matter where I throw or what I throw he blows the game. I think he's blown every game he's pitched in except maybe 1. I decided to sell off access inventory, finish some ta stage 4s to sell last night, and I had enough stubs to buy him. My buy order went through last night, and I'm excited to try him out!! Any reviews? Good/bad?? Any input is appreciated, thanks!!

Just like almost every pitcher he is no good on All-Star difficulty but he is good on HOF difficulty and above

@C_T_F214 said in Casey Mize:

Anyone else pitch just as well with Prospect Mize as FS Mize? Should I sell FS Mize?

I bought FS Mize a month ago for 1 million stubs and he was the worst pitcher I've used all year and I make WS regularly, i started him in 2 games and both starts were on HOF difficulty... I have also faced him once and lit him up on HOF difficulty

@Spidershow70 said in Finally got 20; quickest way to get Diamonds?:

So I picked up 20 during the sale and have been flipping between playing 19 and 20.
Have picked up an 85 Posada and 99 Joe Morgan by completing their programs but just realized any player praogram player is no sell and am leery of not being able to change players later or just having guys I won't use.

And these million dollar stubs are intimidating.

So I'm wondering what is the alternate quickest way.

Also, should I not bother trying to get early inning rewards because it's too late to get enough to earn the top prize?

This year has me confused about how to earn big names between collections, team affinity, etc.

And I know Conquest is supposed to be one of the quickest ways to get rewards but it usually takes me a long time and is such a boring grind that I don't understand why it's such a big part of the game. It's more work than fun and while that's tolerable for realistic sims I don't see the point in it for conquest. It's just annoying and time consuming.

Any tips on how to move through it quicker and on the litany of other topics I listed are appreciated.

Thanks!

Topps Now moments and Player of the Month programs like 99 Tatis and 99 Jose Ramirez, and for sure do the postseason program for 99 Seager, you will get close to a 99 overall squad just buy completing that, and do the 99 Bob Gibson Conquest map

@BruceyBruce29 said in Jackie Robinson Evolution Grind:

Hello.

I wanted to ask the opinions of people that performed the utter madness that is this ridiculously maddening grind for the Sig Series Jackie Robinson at 2nd to have on the team. So I'm through all of the stage 2 moments without yet finishing it yet (and this doesn't include the conquest map points yet)

Is this card even worth having online? I hate his swing, these moments are maddening, and even the stage 4 voucher moments where its the best version seem like hitting with anybody below 80 power in 18' despite the different hitting engine and the insane contact/vision. I know there's HRB Cano, and I have some solid utility PS 2020 cards and Topps Now for 2nd base, but is this Jackie worth going for?

Go do the Jackie Robinson 42 Conquest map... gives you a bunch of packs and a like 35 points towards Jackie if I remember right

@Bob_Sacamano_361 said in Has an L ever been changed to a W?:

Playing some BR. Drafted a sick squad. 3 easy wins to start. Game 4 I’m destroying my opponent who won’t quit for
Some reason. Top 3rd I hit a 3-r HR to go up 14-1 and I lose connection. Get locked out of DD. After like 6 tries to get back into DD from my game home screen I close the app and start back up and am able to get in and of course I’m 3-1. I know 4 wins is a mile away from 12-0 but I was finally feeling good and had an amazing squad. This guy had ZERO chance of beating me.

Has anyone ever sent a report and actually gotten a W out of it or should I just suck it up and redraft?

I have had this happen before after a while I was awarded the win. Don't forfeit your run yet

I went in the game log and just clicked “Report: connection issues”.

Is that about all I can do? I’d love to keep that team going, but if not I guess losing a 4-0 run is a lot better than 10-11 wins

I checked your game history and sadly it looks like you will get the L, I have a 10-0 run going right now in BR, I hope nothing like that happens to me
