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’m probably the minority here, but I’m not liking the content at all this year. I should mention I was always a fan of the real topps card art and maybe they lost some licensing so I get it. The 99s from day one seem forced. The incognito and kaiju series are corny to me. Having cards that we would want to be end game “Hammerin’ Hank” not have their actual name in the line up or on the jersey is annoying. There seems to be way to many charisma cards. I could have done with less than half of the WBC cards too. Just wanted to vent.

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.

I wondering if it's just me or not but for guys who mostly grind vs the CPU as the game gotten more annoying this year? I feel like they tried to make it harder but they didn't you still dominate you just have less fun playing. For example rookie is unplayable the easiest levels to play against is vet or all-star, because the pitchers cant hit the strike zone and then magically dot something. I know the answer it to wait on your pitch and draw more walks and "get good" but all this really does is drag out the game more. It make playing less fun when you know it's going to take 3 times as long as it used to.

I feel like usually I make it to fall before the game feels stale and I want to take a break but it's coming way earlier this year.

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.

I saw this and was so confused until I realized it was sarcasm. I feel like we don't give enough props to SDS for not falling into the pay to play style that EA and 2K are.

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.

@vipersneak_mlbts said in Throw Cubs Fans a Bone SDS:

Anthony Rizzo is such a good person. I hope Yankees fans and the NY media treat him right.

Dang, this still hurts.

I hate seeing him in a Yankees jersey it just looks so weird.

That the 99 overall Schmidt card is wearing bobos and not the Nike cleat like the card art shows or like the other Schmidt card. So small it's not worth complaining about but it bugs me.

@collintacoz09_psn said in The Big Collection:

What if it’s Trout, with him missing this whole year, it would be kinda nice

If that's the case I'd start posting about how excited I am for the new NHL game

@ncstatehokie_mlbts said in Finest Harper:

I guess if you were a huge Harper fan and put in lots of time to P5 his awards card only to find out there is a better version it would stink a little. Outside of that seems like a win all around.

I’m a huge Harper fan who go the P5 MVP card and I’m excited to now get P5 Finest card. It’s definitely a win all around.

I'm really hoping we don't have the server issues for the first few weeks.

I don’t think you’re in the minority at all. These seem to be common complaints this year. I do appreciate that SDS is trying to mix things up, but they are absolutely mixing up the wrong things. No one has ever complained that the players’ names are too real. Such a weird choice. If I’m not mistaken, this will be the last year with Topps cards, so we all might as well get used to more of this next year. I kinda like the Kaiju card art, but the Incognito artwork and concept is a big miss for me. Also, is there a difference between Alter Ego and Incognito? There’s almost too much content this year, and it just feels very disorganized and structureless.

I knew fanatics was taking over the mlb licensing for cards and I wonder if that’s the end of topps now too.

Next year, instead of completing PXP missions to earn Topps Now cards, you will have to win a Mortal Kombat-style fight with a kaiju. If you defeat the monster, you earn a giant Mothra egg, which you must protect from monsters and enemy teams. Once the egg hatches, you will be required to raise it, teach it to hunt, and train it in a combination of Aikido and Shaolin Kunf Fu fighting styles. Once your kaiju reaches maturity, a prophecy will be revealed and you and your hatchling must undertake a quest to retrieve 3 ancient amulets that have been hidden in the dark world known as Yojimbo. Whilst in this parallel dimension, you’ll be required to reach base twice and drive in 1 run. Then, and only then, will the next card be unlocked. Pretty much your typical baseball stuff, tbh.

You deserve a player of the month card for that post
