Standard version on the 28th I believe.

So they used have events with strike zone off. I do not remember it being well received by the community.

You're best bet is to buy cards at qs value. Possibly the cards in the chase packs depending.

George Brett gold card from 18 anyone? Specific conquest missions with crappy player cards. Nava. Cris Carter walk and a home run in the same game? Who was the other guy with no power from 18? Anyway the point is that while some of these moments can be annoying is nothing like what was. Breathe walk away for a second and come back to it. And yes I have completed it. Yeah it took about 17 attempts and yes I hit like 5 bombs contact swinging. It's just a matter of when the game says yes.

I'm still waiting for my drops from the push the button stream 2 weeks ago. Who knows

It’s just you and failing to realize this is a tech. You’re too busy trying to equate it to the final product

nah not at all and you shouldn't be making assumptions - many people probably feel the same - i just think its a very poor update - lipstick on a pig - by all means you can buy the deluxe, do what you want - this game is a big joke these days - i'll still play once in a blue moon to blow off some steam but my point still stands

see you in April

ive been playing this game since sammy sosa was on the cover - probably longer than you - i know you are a fan boy - it's obvious - big shocker to you and your buddies that not everyone is going to agree with the "i love this game" stance

haters of this game live on this forum and twitter yall aint going anywhere

lol and clearly guys like you too who just hate to hear an opinion the opposite of their own

like I said see you in April

you love to repeat yourself - i can easily do the same - maybe you should join a discord group where you can find friends who all love this game, and you can talk about how great this game is, and how much you love to play it, each year and every year

lol Im in the discord/forums/reddit come on over and spend some more time hating on a game to keep playing year round

i bet you are lol - it explains so much as to why you are the way you are - invisible keyboard warrior on the net - big man !!!!

still purchasing explains so much as to why you are the way you are

let's just be real for a moment - you're a gimp, trying to catch a rise out of people - just remember you are invisible on the internet - your words mean nothing - your voice is as easy as a block away and you can try to tickle someone else with your internet garbage

Honestly bud just block him already. Is he adding quality to your day....no then what's the point. He wont see your point you wont see his. The game feels basically the same as it did in 20. I skipped 21. Played about 10 games of this tech test.

Here are the good and bad parts.

• The game looks beautiful ps5 on a monitor is gorgeous.

• It's always great to build a team of your favorite players

• Hitting perfect perfect sounds great.

Bad parts

• 3 laggy games not being the home team still sucks.
• pitching is still and will always be random
• hitting can still be random.

@savefarris_psn said in what do you guys think of the alpha test?:

if they're having server issues now; do you really think they can fix it in a little over a month?

Maybe that’s why they’re having a tech test? To sort out the issues NOW instead of after launch.

nope some seem to think this is the final build

Well let's be honest here. They had issues last year during the test and the server issues stub issues and other [censored] plagued the game for weeks from launch. Why would anyone think history wont repeat itself?

@dadarkdingo367 said in Next or Current Gen - Unfair Advantage?:

Only difference so far i would notice would be graphics. SDS wouldn't give next gen the advantage. It's all about getting paired with someone of your skill level (i.e rookie with rookie or veteran with veteran). If someone from SDS would like to reply to this they'll say the same thing. I've NEVER been paired with a legend skill level on veteran. I always get paired with veteran players.

I think you are confusing opponent skill level (human) versus technology. You can own a PS5 and suck because maybe your stick skills are terrible. You still have the advantage of a more advanced tech with the PS5. You just might not put it to good use. No one plays in MLB stadiums because the FPS is terrible. With a PS5 you can. So little Johnnie with his 1st generation ps4 is gonna sit thru 9 innings of crappy frame rate loss while the PS5 owner has a smooth game. This has nothing to do with internet lag either BTW its just a superior machine that can process information faster.

You could just play the shipvent. Work prestiging some guys? 13 games only 2 werent played there.

Fun fact. I've played roughly 13 games in the event. 0 have been at shippet.

I'm not hating it though. Trying to finish Trout and Griffey so Shippett helps

Yesterday alot of the game werent Friday and Saturday though almost all were there.

what is your budget? Righty or Lefty?

@halfbutt said in Who thinks AS pitch speeds are too slow?:

I started before 16 when the cards were temporary and you had to name them and pretty your whole team were caps.

I agree with your comments on the gameplay but I’d like to think it is not just a question of accepting more dice rolls and inconsistencies.

While I dont disagree and hope that you are right. the way the gameplay has been trending it would suggest the opposite. PCi ratings of 14s are line outs. Perfect Perfect with 110 power are flyouts to the track but early swings with PCI ratings of 11 leave the yard. I mean you can hear when its a [censored] swing. Perfect release balls miss their spot by a wide margin not inches. its still 26000000% better than RBI baseball so I guess there is that.

@halfbutt said in Who thinks AS pitch speeds are too slow?:

I’m not really seeking resolution, so much as looking for future improvements.

I started playing DD in 18. Every year it seems that the game play is getting worse not better. Content was fantastic this year. Gameplay was and is lacking. Next year will be more of the same and the year after. Input seems to be less and less important and is more about dice rolls. If you can accept it you buy the game and move forward.

You could just play the shipvent. Work prestiging some guys? 13 games only 2 werent played there.

I'm not so sure if it is a glitch. This is what I found. It seems like because you didnt have any position players left and ruth didnt make the last out he wasnt eligible to be replaced.

When the team is up to bat, a manager can get the same effect as a double switch by leaving in the player who has pinch-hit for the pitcher and replacing another player in the lineup who has made the last out of the inning with a new pitcher. This will take the following form:

Player A (outgoing pitcher, batting next) is replaced by Player B (a position player) as a pinch-hitter, taking Player A's place in the batting order.
Player C makes the last out of the inning is replaced by Player D (a pitcher), taking Player C's place in the batting order.
Player D is pitching in place of Player A, and Player B is fielding in place of Player C.

have to keep them both as the diamond had to be locked in to prestige the card.

@SaveFarris said in Sig Cards for collection:

You need 8 for Trout, right?

Encarnacion: Showdown Starter 2
Lester: 7th Inning Player Program
Edmonds: 9th Inning Player Program
Cabrera: 10th Inning Player Program
Jackie: Evolution Program
Eckersley: Run it Back
Lee Smith: Run it Back
Billy Williams: Run it Back
Cepeda: Run it Back
Cliff Lee: Run it Back

Sandberg: XP Boss
Newhouser: XP High Diamond
Kiner: 10th Inning Henchman
Rivera: 5th Inning Boss
Boggs: Duck Pack
Posada: Beach Ball Base
Lofton: Beach Ball Base

That's 20. You can't find any of those for less than 250?

To finish the Sig collection its 45 cards.

@DaKid2416 said in SDS dropped the ball on this event:

what are the settings for the event? like innings and difficulty

Stadium Locked - Iron Horse
Difficulty - HOF
3 - Innings
Team Ovr - 95

I think it will really depend on how the program is delivered next year. This year they included showdown and player programs tied to innings while removing moments for the bosses. The MA programs were more enjoyable this year than years past as it was about logging game time rather than $. Some cards played better/worse than last year so it was interesting to see which you should obtain. Aside from gameplay the only thing that sucked was prestiging players. It forced players to log extra hours for cards they would have already earned in prior years.

It was a glitch. I think it is already fixed.

The dream of an all CAP team is dead.

That's probably the reason it was fixed so quickly lol. Having to go against 4 Chippers isn't anything compared to facing a full lineup of big daddy [censored]

I wonder what ever happened to Big Daddy Dirtbag (King Gryph). That guy got me hooked on RTTS until 18.
