I am in love with this parallel system. It’s definitely my favorite addition to the game from recent memory. It prolongs the life of some cards deeper into the year and being a baseball card fan in real life it adds another level of accomplishment when you get a low number. But before I get toxic again about server issues or something stupid I just wanted to give SDS an atta boy this really is a great game so far.

I have been asking for a 99 Harper wearing number 3 for months and you not only delivered but made him free. Thank you. Drop the 2022 pre-order now so I can blindly follow you through these troubled times. Love you always SDS no matter how many of my older posts suggest otherwise.

The real low of todays update is that we got 10 more 5k cards put into the pool of diamonds for packs.

Obviously there's not much good about being stuck in the house for months but it did work perfectly for SDS's release of this game so I'd imagine they have had an all-time high for sales and people playing and all I see on this forum is people complaining about the game. I hate to agree with the whiners but they have some valid points the game isn't much fun right now. But I guess just like the game SDS had an easy pop fly and let it bounce off their head.

I agree. I was excited to see who it would be and now I'm probably not going to go out of my way to try to complete it.

I'll start by saying that hopefully there's some positive ideas in this and that someone that works with SDS accidentally stumbles across this on their lunch break. But I'm an offline player, I don't mind grinding and I probably enjoy collecting players as much as anything else on the game. I see people complaining on this thread almost every time there's a content release. So it leads me to believe that people overall aren't having as much fun playing this game as they had hoped to. I like most, dislike showdown and moments but still give them a try mostly to gain the XP that they are offering. I haven't had a moment this year yet that I haven't been able to beat but countless that have left me annoyed and wanting to turn off my game. The Clemente program seems to be a huge topic of conversation for offline players because you either have to suffer through the showdown or play online to complete it. I will choose to play online because 5 wins in an event is a couple hours of play and it's much less frustrating than a showdown and I'm not horrible at the game so I will hold my own online. But online definitely has it's warts and I feel for the guys who just want to play online for a few hours a night and move on. The lagging and overpowered fastballs make it more annoying than it should be. And before the "GET GOOD" or the "THAT'S BASEBALL" crowds come and state the obvious, I agree with you but at the same time it's a video game we're not actually on a baseball field. But I want to see some ideas where we as a community think that SDS can improve on a video game that we are going to buy and play a lot regardless of how well they make it.

Wasn't he a headliner? Wouldn't he still be in pack circulation?

I was thinking the same thing playing the moments like Rest In Peace pal but boy does this guy stink!!!!

@bhall09 said in What a missed opportunity:

I've often thought about this MLB Players league. That's a ton of free advertising for them. And then to see the players complain about issues is quite a sight.

Yea it seems like the really just missed a shot by putting out a game that wasn’t ready.

Is it just me or is it not that exciting? Maybe it’s that I subliminally already dislike him for doing the right thing for himself and accepting a record breaking deal to go play for the Mets and not staying with this horrible franchise with the worst front office in baseball. But most of the finest cards besides Soto and Story aren’t that exciting to me. I’d imagine Machado is pretty great too but I haven’t seen his stats.

@bob_loblaw1984 said in Working list of cards coming Friday:

I’d like to see a 99 for him, but it’s unlikely. Hopefully we get something like an all-star or second half card so he eventually gets a 99.

Smells a lot like a 2nd Half card in a Phillies jersey at this point.

With the Oswalt reveal today I’m convinced that we get Doc on Friday. First and foremost thank you SDS!!!!! This is a great year for Phillies content. With that being said your showing too much love to the Phillies in these reveals which makes me think this Inning Doc will be a Blue Jay. I would have picked that the other way. His 99 card would have been a Jay as a prime series or something along those lines and the mid 90s diamond could have been a 2nd half card or an all star series card with the Phillies

I think you can go either way really, give him a 94 to 95 Blue Jays All Star card and then his big card has to be his Perfect Game card later in the year. That way I think both cards are usable all year thanks to parallel getting the Blue Jays card up to a 98 or 99 at P5.

Either way I am so happy he's in the game, as a Jays fan and lucky enough to see him pitch more then 10 times I can safely say his card will not leave my line up all year

After I made this thread I thought to myself the perfect game or the playoff no hitter is probably the 99 card. He won a CY Young for both teams too so that could be an option as well. I do regret that a was a broke high schooler for most of his Phillies career so i never saw him pitch in person.

A lot of them are against relievers so if you let their pitch count get up their energy is empty and they will throw meatballs or just walk you. Be patient is the best mind set in showdown.

The exciting Market crash. Will we buy too high or not get our orders in because we are too low? Only time will tell. But remember "Fortune favors the brave" lol

Lol, I sold Tatis 2 weeks ago to get Trea and finish the entire Dodgers to get Gibson. Not really regretting it, but in that time the Cover Athletes program and Tatis' price shot up and not Trea down. No regrets, but I got the stub shaft!

Happens to the best of us pal don't sweat it.

These roster updates were nuts. Makes me wonder if theyr'e trying to control the market a bit more.

Dropping the gate keeper for an entire divisions price in half is literally the opposite of controlling a market. It’s actually huge evidence that they DON’T control anything.

Its just not realistic to think a team of guys sits there and crunches every stat for every player in the league. It’s an algorithm, they do next to nothing, they input the stats and it does the rest. It would take dozens of people working all day to do all of that.

I'm not a conspiracy theory guy especially for a video game so this point is not really worth arguing for me. But, I was looking at it from the other side of things. I was meaning that they were adding some unexpected upgrades and downgrades to throw off investers. The collection means nothing after the first month or so. The upgrades is where the stubs come from. Them changing QS vaules is evidence of that already. But lets see how the year plays out.

Live Series Pack will make my day

I've found that wrapping your console in aluminum foil and then blankets so that the SDS spies can't track your moves is probably best. But it's very important to keep your console running for at least 48-72 hours wrapped air tight
