@chris9341_MLBTS You're coping really hard, dude.
Your "wild guess" is wildly wrong, btw.

So, how much did you lose by?

Thanks all.
That was my thought as well, just wanted confirmation.

I'm NMS and thanks to some good fortune and a lot of grinding, i'm Aaron Judge away from completing live series.

I have 120k stubs, so a long way off.

With Collections coming in just over 10 days, i'm torn about whether i should continue my sole focus of live series, or pivot and use my 120k to flesh out Collections.

I have many of the Collections done, aside from New Threads and WBC (still 30 cards off Garcia).

What would you do?

I've never struggled with a moment as much as I am with the Correa home run one.

I've had 63 attempts and nothing.
I'm struggling to even hit the ball, and the four or five perfect perfects I've hit haven't even made the warning track.

Seriously, what happened to offering multiple paths to complete programs? Forcing moments on people is nasty work.

On the back of my reply, and knowing you have to do ALL moments to get Correa, I conducted an experiment on his home run moment.

I tried it 5 times.
I faced 23 pitches.
3 strikes.
20 balls.
11 of the 20 balls were so wide they'd barely land in a second zone.

It's ridiculous to have unskippable home run moments and have pitchers coded to throw low and extremely away pitches repeatedly.

I've never been less excited for an XP Reward Path and it's only innings two.

That's a worry.

Doesn't feel at all rewarding with so many single base packs as 'rewards' (enjoy the 60 stubs from dupes, lads) and less cards than in previous games.

Enjoy getting about 5000 stubs back from the 10 low level dupe golds you get for your 40k.

Never open packs.

I must admit, I opened the game today and am thoroughly underwhelmed by the XP Reward Path.

I am usually excited for it, especially in the early stages, but it feels super unrewarding now with so many single base packs as 'rewards' and less players than we used to get.

My only issue with moments is the fact that they've got pitchers throwing endless balls on moments that require hits.

I'm not suggesting coding for meatballs, but if i need multiple hits to complete a moment, perhaps code for at least some pitches near the zone.

I don't have Murakama and don't think i'll get him.
I have been solely focused on Live Series NMS and am only a few cards away, so I think i'll hold the 45k (or whatever he is going for) in the hope it will help me get those last two Live Series cards.

@Rhyno1986_XBL Whilst I agree it's not a huge issue, but dictating to others what should bother them is rather obnoxious.

I haven't had a drop out in two weeks.

@rubicante23_PSN You absolutely are trying to be mean.
You repeatedly belittle others about their skill level, which is really sad.

Yet, there's all these posts that go "why is CPU so good!!!" What?

It's almost as if people have different skill levels and play styles.

2K?
So, you want 90% of cards unsellable?
You want every single best card locked behind real money only packs?
You want to spend $10k real money on one card in the middle of the cycle?
You want 'content' to be literally just packs for sale?

So, i get one or two less gold dupe WBC cards with 300 quick sell? Oh noes.

Three times I've worked through DQ, won every challenge and mini boss game with ease, took out of the Dodgers each time with ease, yet three times in a row i have played and lost to the Padres, on rookie.

I have had 0 hits across three games, and each time lost in the bottom of the third to a blooped single first pitch, followed by a deep line drive double that's fumbled (by 87 fielding Max Clark, btw) to get the runner home second pitch.

That's hours wasted for nothing more than a little XP....

I've turned my console off and have zero desire to turn it back on, such is the frustration level.

I give up.

KYLE TEST - Home Run with any Kyle in Diamond Quest

You'd think that, given it literally says 'diamond quest' on the task, but no, apparently it needs to be in a mini boss or stadium challenge game.

It's one thing to have 'riddles', it's another to just grossly mislead people, SDS.

4 program cards.
14 pack cards.

Sadly, says it all.
