    SDS Please make this pitcher change in 24
  • Oreo Thomas_XBLO Oreo Thomas_XBL

    @YOSHI24 said in SDS Please make this pitcher change in 24:

    ok, now I get it … The amount of Fastballs at max velo…. First of all: Stamina isn‘t even „in control“, this would be an addition … slow degrease on max velo, maybe together with stamina … so you have to balance out how often you use it 🙂

    But again: Nobody works counts, would not help imo

    I’ve been gone a few months but I always worked counts, that was the key to becoming a competitive player at my old age….


  • Anybody else waiting until the streams to preorder?
  • Oreo Thomas_XBLO Oreo Thomas_XBL

    I played this game year round the last 5 years and made it thru half of season 4 before tapping out. Haven’t played a game since.

    Im not sure I will even buy it next year, more so see no reason to pre-order until possibly a day or so before release.


  • Sets critique
  • Oreo Thomas_XBLO Oreo Thomas_XBL

    For the first time in years, finally hung it up and am done with the game for the year ( I have played year round for years). I found myself playing just to keep up with all the BS grind they throw at you to have the latest eligible “plug in whomever’s 99”, and not playing because I enjoyed it. Think I am going in 2 weeks now and still no interest to play.

    SDS just swing and missed this year in my opinion.


  • Juan Soto LS "Buy" Orders
  • Oreo Thomas_XBLO Oreo Thomas_XBL

    That is always the case after a card gets bumped to Diamond ( or gold) ( those were in place before they got moved

    People not paying attention will get screwed there.


  • Ranked Rewards no sell
  • Oreo Thomas_XBLO Oreo Thomas_XBL

    Yep, the WS reward path was to satisfy the complainers that couldn’t make WS. I’m all for the no sell option for that path.

    It’s no secret that the game is slowing down as far as players and gameplay, I personally don’t have the motivation to grind for another set of cards for set 5! With that said SDS could say hey you can keep one card from set 1-4 as wildcards that way you still get fresh lineups and can keep some of your favorites along the way. It’s not too late SDS

    How do you know it’s slowing down? I only know how much I play and you only know how much you play. 🙄

    Not hard to figure out, look at how many people are playing events and making WS ( easy info to obtain). Also, watch the market for sold cards.

    This is by far the earliest I have seen the huge part of the player base abandon the game ( happened a couple months ago for most part).

    I have always been one of their hardcore players, playing all the way to the new version. I’m just can’t do it. For example, I have booted the game up 3x over the last week and literally stared at it and turned it off. I just don’t enjoy what they have done and can’t bring myself to play.

    Show the info you easily obtained. At its peak only ~200 people played this game online on PSN. There are approximately 4 times more PS4 and PS5 consoles on the market than XBox One and XBox X/S so I’m being generous to say there were probably another ~100 playing online for Microsoft. Now you playing it less means you’re playing it less not everyone is playing it less. 🥱

    Show your info or go away. You said nothing substantial.

    Boy, for a guy who is usually fairly cool, not your best day…

    All you have to do is go into the current event records or the current RS season to see player activity.

    At its peak, there were well over 100k to 300k people playing the events. This one has 23,000 that have played. Last one was similar.

    You can do similar math for RS….

    But to your last point, when guys like me who have been on here for years that typically play year round are saying they aren’t really playing ( add in guys like Ibonafidescrub, ARVCPA, Roswell25, and I could go on and on), SDS has made some wrong turns.

    The rewards are over rated and extremely over priced.

    No argument here. I’m questioning why I even grinded ranked this time…

    You already finished the point program? That’s impressive dedication. WS and BR rewards for this season in general have been as bad as I ever recall

    Of course you do….but you are kind of a big deal, people know you….

    We all have moments that end up being. Tougher than they should be….will never understand the need to come in and state “I did it on one attempt”…..guess that’s their weird flex…..

    Go try another one and come back to it and you will likely get it right away.

  • This event…
  • Oreo Thomas_XBLO Oreo Thomas_XBL

    @chuckuluck_PSN said in This event…:

    I’m consistently late on LOTS of pitches in this event and it’s on all-star difficulty. I’m used to playing on HOF and Legend online and I’m not late on those difficulties. Is there some sort of lag/connection issue going on in this event? Anyone else noticing this at all or am I losing my mind? Haha

    I noticed it yesterday. I play all conquest games on legend and most RS is on HOF. Something was definitely off for me yesterday ( first event games) as I was late on non outlier guys and had to consciously look to be early.

    Having said that, I think I am getting worse at this game as I do t enjoy it nearly as much as I used to due the all the things that have been said on here a million times.

    Congrats. That’s just not fair. I have opened so many of these this year and have pulled one elite player…..it’s

    That’s a pretty ignorant ballpark statement.

    Yep. I just got 14 packs after I hear the showdown and got 1 Diamond. Lots of fun.

    I must’ve had the easiest matchmaking experience ever in events to get 12 wins. Many of them had losing records and my 11th and 12th won they could barely muster 2 runs

    Don't you love those day's though? I have them, but not very often. Usually after 2 wins it's nothing but Goons and Gods. Always finish each event well under .500

    That’s why I tell people that getting 12 wins is a lot of luck. I know that I have been to World Series and have a really good record but I am very inconsistent game to game. I’m no young buck so I am not going to put up tons of runs each game so I can go through spells not being able to hit all that well.

    It think we are probably similar. I have made WS many times and have a good record, so average people probably would consider me a sweet , but like you I am not young and not going to make 1050 -1100 ratings. I have realized I can read pitches probably as well as almost anyone, but my PCI control is just not good enough to be with the super goons. I consistently oversight that darn thing and just miss pitches that the great players do not.

    I played a guy the other day who had the top 50 player multi times belt icon and I decided to play it out a bit just to see. Man, I could dot pitches and it didn’t matter, he could destroy almost anything. Very humbling. I just enjoy the challenge of getting better but understand I will never be the super goon

    My experience is a little different, I can say I am very decent at controlling my pci and when I really want to sweat I won’t chase too many pitches. What kills if for me is how often good input gets punished and bad input gets rewarded. I could play at high elevation stadiums but I hate homeruns with 88mph EV

    By the way, hope all is good with you buddy.

    I understand what you are saying completely. In my last ranked game , I have up 2 runs, both on balls that were about 10 inches off the plate on either side on not good contact. I still won easily, but it has me shaking my head as it reminded me of some super close games I have lost with similar nonsense homers while I squares up about half a dozen balls for “Atem” or warning track outs.

    Love to get a cO op game in some time before this game officially dies

    Your name reminded me of an Oreo Rockstar that used to post here. He was one of the better posters. Wonder what happened to him?

    Same guy! I just switched to XBOX early on in MLB 22 and this was my XBOX username. I will send you a new friend request from the game as I know we were friends on PSN.

    Hope you have been well!

    Some useless info….but the names stem from a couple of my beloved dogs that have now passed on….Oreo ( Thomas was his middle name) and Rockstar ( aka Rocky).

    Set 6 isn’t out yet, so, you were seeing things.

    I meant the one that has Trout in it.

    O thats in the set collection rewards for set 4, at about 200/250 cards.

    There is also a chance of getting it out of the main program for spinning the wheel, but good luck with that route.

    Sam is correct, but it’s at 230 cards collected.
