Eric Davis stance I believe was listed as a number and not by name, same for Larry Walker I believe. That's probably why you don't see them.

@raesONE-_PSN said in Derek Jeter redeem is exactly what I would expect:

Yeah it's a low diamond (86) and he'll get a 99, but this is exactly what I would expect from a Jeter card:

100ish contact
50ish power
74 Fielding
64 reaction
80 arm
82 speed

I agree, that's what I'd expect too. Fielding is right, if he got to the ball he made the play, his Fielding issues were a lot more about range, hence the 64 reaction.

I did like what I saw with draft and prospect generation. Would be a lot of fun. However still so many problems with franchise that have not been fixed in years. I hope this is just another step and we see more overhauls like this next year.

We all know not all 99s are equal, so honestly I bet this won't be as big of a deal as it sounds.

I agree this explanation was not great, this week's stream should clear it up.

I'd say Ebbets is a real classic that is missing.

Reds coming to town, good chance for at least one this weekend.

@the_dragon1912 said in No defensive shifts next year:

The way pitchers are today is why the hitters couldn't adjust and go the other way. When it was regular to take the ball the other way Pitchers weren't throwing 100 mph sinkers on the hands. It was mostly about control. Shifts also used to exclusively used on lefty power hitters(Dunn, Travis Hafner, Big Papi, Thome etc.) shifts these days are used on every hitter in baseball. No shifting still isn't going to effect guys like Gallo much because he doesn't put the ball on the Ground. Singles up the middle are almost non existent anymore. That's mostly what this is about

This is how I see it as well

Yeah, no reason to go away from a pitcher for a stat. Real baseball is pulling away from this too, which is a good thing.

I made the switch to zone in 2017. I'm 44 years old, so I've been playing the show for many years and was using analog. There us way too much RNG with anything other than zone.

Directional is only for people who want a true sim experience. In DD you want to be able to score the most you can, simulation is not the goal of DD.

I opened 2 of those juiced ballin packs for the end of dog days program and got two Golds between the 2 packs. My pack luck is at its worst right now.

Yeah, my pack luck went to hell too. I opened 80 standard packs after conquest extreme and had 0 diamond players.

I got him to p4 and knowing that it is the exact same amount left to get him to p5 is too much. I actually did a couple moments so I could get Chapman and be done with DD for a few days.

@JEEZY-E_MLBTS said in Finally beat Extreme Showdown:

I attempted it 6 times, 6 times made it to chapman, 6 times I failed at Chapman. I will not be attempting it again, the amount of time wasted on it I could have hit the 25k pxp at least twice.

Yeah, but sadly you have to hit it 9 times to equal what you get for showdown.

Trust me the only way I am getting Cano or Donaldson is by 25k pxp, I figure if I keep playing DD through the end of the year, I probably still won't be there.

SDS said a few years ago they it takes too much work to create new classic stadiums. So what they had already mapped is all we get.

My first attempt at Don't call it a Comeback. I get 6 runs to tie it at 7 without making an out, but can't get any more runs. Fine no big deal, I pitch better than I hit. I shut Phillies down in 9th. I score a run in top of 10th to make it 8-7. Bottom of 10th I strike out first batter, 2nd batter grounds out runner to 3rd. The CPU leaves RP David Robertson in to hit, I still pitch my best, it's not like I am stupid enough to pump fastballs down the middle, but still Robertson goes yard for a walk off 2 run HR.

Seriously unbelievable.

Have you tried the showdown yet? If you want the full MLB the show experience thats where you will find it

I don't think I will try it, I couldn't even get past Pedro for Dog Days.

There’s no better feeling than squaring up a chapman fastball and watching TJ Friedl rise like a salmon and pull it back from the stands. It’s really the only reason I play mlb the show.

Yup, seen it before on SD regular, let alone extreme

I wish there were more opportunities to do exchanges in place of moments. Sometimes I feel like there are just too many of them.

I have really hated Showdown this year, not a snowballs chance I am going to try this.

Conquest Extreme was easy. But I know better than to bother with showdown or moments.
