Why in the world would anyone rip a 15k/30k/75k bundle for a long shot to pull a 9k LS diamond?

SDS still doesn't understand that making only LS and headliners available in packs is a detriment to their attempt to make cash off microtransactions?

Add those 2 together along with the reason to pull/collect is to play RS but most people aren't since 400 innings is ludicrous really spells disaster to DD this year.

Why was there absolutely zero changes to RTTS this year?

Does anyone really play March to October?

Anyone know who was let go and/or who was added to The Show from a corporate standpoint that absolutely destroyed every aspect of this game?

400 innings of playing and not quitting as opposed to forcing you to win against top tier players once you reach that division if you ever do? I like it b/c it gives people a chance to experience a card that they want without purchasing it on an overpriced market.

RTTS has had changes and most are on the backend creating the foundation to setup what is in thier plans in the future. They spoke exstensively in pre launch video.

MTO is a great way for people to play a "shortened moments type season" and can then be carried over into Franchise. Allowing player to build thier favorite team the way they want.

As far as who was let go or not is irrelavant. There is still a plethora of talented staff in the studio. Card Art, Developers that actually played pro ball ect.

Get out of the consumers forum and go back to your SDS slack channel shill

I pulled Trout in a 20 pack - only pack i bought with cash. He mashes everything at every level. Kind of redic. Parallel him up to a 98/99 and he's a mainstay in your OF until the 99 trout is released near the end of the year. Totally worth it.

@b00std_mark_ii said in Player Stats Not Counter - Gold "The Duke" archetype:

when you get to silver and gold is there any missions for diamond dynasty

Sadly no (so far). We'll see with the diamond archetype but I'm doubting it.

The bronze and silver archetypes worked just fine but as soon as I added the gold archetype and got called up to the majors, the mission stats are no longer counting.

Can we get a fix SDS?

Need to build up your finger strength. I know it sounds silly but it's a must. I'm 37 and have been playing video games since I was 7 (Nintendo) and have been on a computer since I was 10. Working from home the past 4 years as well.

Also played outside everyday as a kid, played sports through high school and (try) to keep my muscles from getting weaker as I get older. Nothing crazy.

Grab the groceries in your fingers and carry them around for a little bit, grip vices work as well. Stress balls. Just get your hands stronger.

And of course the obvious...if you're fingers hurt, stop doing things that hurt them until you build up your strength. If it means giving up video games, so be it. Don't wanna be walking around like the guy from Scary Movie when you're 50 lol

Use all the cards that people can't hit with and see what you can find. Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Frank Thomas etc. I found out that I smash with the Big Hurt when most people don't. But don't try Barry Larkin, whatever you do, don't try Barry Larkin (hint hint)

Degrom but it's more boredom than him being tough. I couldn't hit him for shite this summer. Now I just wait for a fastball in a quadrant and go deep. They usually quit.

I used Whitey Ford last night and this dude couldn't touch him lol.

I think the random pitchers are the way to go right now because they're so unpredictable compared to the norms

Remember when you had to play the game of baseball at the highest level and be looked at as one of the best in the sport during your time period to be in the HOF?

Now it's just media members circle jerking themselves. We all know about the media these days so it's expected.

What's the most laughable?

Modeled my own windup after his. Glove chest high, square up to the batter, step back 45 degrees, pivot, explode the hips and fire away at any arm angle

Now if only I could throw a changeup like that I could have made it past high school lol

GOAT

Update:

Offline - still sucks. Barely batting over .300 with him and that's only because I played an Extra Innings game on rookie
Online - 3 games - 3 bombs. So far he's an online GAWD.

FWIW - Babe Ruth is the the king of singles

Looking at Bronze/Common cards in a "crash" is a waste of time. I tried to keep up with my binder this year but about a month ago I had about 20-30 of every card. I found the companion app that let me post 25 orders of a some bronze [censored] for 200 each and over a week - they sold.

I did that for hundreds of cards during my down time.

I can EASILY see someone doing the same thing but not checking the prices and just throwing all their worthless cards for 2x/3x QS value.

The crash was more about all the old inning bosses that dropped 50-60% overnight. How cards went from 300k to 120k despite not being an available card to collect and hasn't been for 6 months.

Bruh - TA 1-5 and these dopes are still picking the same player?

Dear Dummies,

Please put down the adderall, look at the green tag at the top that says "New" or "x1" and since SDS puts the extra click with the message "Are you sure you want to take this player" and you still click yes....well...that's your own fault.

Be smarter

For those who have him, how do you like him?

I got him ASAP and pumped for it. Only played 1 game online with him and he took a high curve deep (who tf throws hanging curves in ranked?)

Almost finished the 3rd conquest map for TA5 and I'm disappointed with his offline play. He was the KING at scooping low balls out of the stadium IRL. - but every ball at the bottom of the strikezone is a weak grounder OFFLINE ON VETERAN.

Only thing that would make sense is my conspiracy theory I've brought up before - the higher % a player is being used: the more nerfed he'll be.

That's why I'm keeping my SS and 2B cornerstones quiet AF bc they still smack to this day.

If anyone has a good review of his online play - I'd love to hear it.

Considering the PCI is merely a tool to help you hit as it's based off your swing plane and not where you put the barrel of the bat...

I'll take #1

@dirty-shawnchez_psn said in New cards vs current cards:

When you get a new card, for a specific position, do you automatically replace the card that you were using for that spot or do you keep playing with a card until you get it to a certain parallel?

Since I got Mo I have yet to pitch a single at bat with him because I've been trying to parallel Sig Smoltz (300pts from P3).

So I'm just wondering what other players do when they get a new card.

I like to test drive most of the new cards I get (not all, but a collection reward or big purchase for sure]. Today my lineup is all 2021 Finest to see how they play.

But I get trying to P5 guys. I just never got into that, but it's probably what I'll focus on after TA5.

This - I always have a lineup full of new cards at the ready. I'll play a couple offline then 1 or 2 online, see who stands out and have them in my lineup when I'm serious. Keep an eye on them to see if I keep or store.

Some guys are great vs CPU but stink online and vice versa

Let's say everyone under cut each other by 1k-2k stubs on their sell orders. Take Vlad Sr for example. He was around 280k before Tuesday. He's now at 120k. For each sell order to be 2k less the one before it, there would have had to been 80 VLAD CARDS POSTED WITHIN A COUPLE HOURS to drop it like this.

80 cards of an old inning boss that people didn't mark as "no sell" in a collection so they could buy 30k Finest pack trash?

Yea, 80 isn't a wild number but it's like 30-40 high value cards that did this. Was there really 3200 high end, sellable rare cards that were posted all within 24 hours by actual players?

I get that some people were low on stubs so they sold a couple cards to get 150k to open 5 packs and get 25k worth of players BUT why are costs down across the board?

Did EVERYONE say, I need to sell all my old inning bosses and RS/BR rewards at the same time? Enough to drop prices 50% across the board?

Or were the prices brought down artificially so the average person could complete the set coming out today

Also a subs sale today....would you buy stubs $100 stubs in November so you could afford 5 of those packs. Would you buy $300+ worth of stubs to buy Nolan Ryan at his price last week?

Something smells fishy and my girlfriend already went to work so it's not her.

I play 2k proam
I play(ed) Madden squads
I played team deathmatch in COD

I play this game because I can get away from everyone and play 1 on 1

[censored] bro - how much is EA paying you to litter our message board?

EA is DEAD

I repeat - after Madden's catastrophic release this year and beyond subpar games of the past 2-3 years - THE COMPANY IS DEAD

Nobody plays NHL
Battlefield is already being [censored] on
Madden is a trash game with blood sucking, money hungry scum running the microtransaction/pack game

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust - Electronic Arts games are sure to be a bust
