@Apolloz_99_MLBTS if you want access to all the cards you have to "spend money" or "pay to play". The guys who are making money off the game will do this whereas the average person is likely not throwing their VISA number in to get the 500k Geraldo Perdomo or the 400k Willie McGee. Those two cards are off limits to anyone "casual"

@Onix_Savage22_PSN I have started dabbling in RTTS a bit more but I am also just frustrated when I see the MLB the Show Logo I am not a programmer, nor am I a coder, but I don't understand how they cannot get a handle on it. I loved working the community market in previous years and now I quicksell basically everything I get as a reward, feels worthless whereas in years past guys could get excited if they landed a cool card because it meant something and it was like winning a fantasy lottery. Market is completely destroyed, multiple players are out of reach, I barely touch ranked because it's too volatile with matchups and cheaters. I can mostly get my head into event games because you can just show up, lose every game and eventually get the rewards just from enduring the BS. You're bound to eventually get someone you can handle and manage a few runs. Sad considering I remember my first version of the game was 16 or 17.

I loved the Captains last year and how much they added. I used an entire Rockies lineup for the better part of a year because it juiced the hitting on some early cards enough to make them playable against 99's.

I think Captains is one area where they went backwards this year, they are now completely useless with the 99's being released because nobody in their right mind is plugging an 85-88 into their lineup, Jeff Bagwell, to juice their Yordan Alvarez.

@DemIsE4_XBL sad part, is the guys at the top are loyal if the money keeps coming in via streaming or views on YT. Let's be honest, if a new game came out that could provide more views and ultimately more money for the "streamers" they would jump ship and then you're left with the 780 and under guys because they just play games for enjoyment.

I've played the game long enough to remember when there were no guys on twitch, YT or any of those services. IMO, those guys have ruined the game for all of us mainly because SDS caters to the top 1% whilst completely ignoring the base. They will experience ups and downs but if they continue down this path, the online ranked will be a remote desert of elite 1% players and guys picking up the game for the first time.

Sorry guys not trying to beat a dead horse but how the hell are we still dealing with this. Just faced a guy in a quick event game and everything was squared up. I get there's a chance I can run into someone far more skilled than myself but I am admittedly so bad at the game I assume those people will never get matched with me. Bomb after bomb, I eventually gave up. I loved this game for so long and with the market bots and the cheating, they are making it harder and harder to keep playing.

@brobass23_PSN love this, why not just have intentional talk guys giving us some fun info and data.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN man I feel this, I played baseball for years, started a family and this is my only connection to baseball other than watching MLB games. Been buying this game for years, and will likely continue because the core of it, the game is still fun. It's like most video games now, they cater to the top 1% and everyone else just has to enjoy what is given to them. Taking feedback from the guys, and gals, who live on the game and make money from it, doesn't make sense to me. These are the sort of people who will move onto another game if there's a higher dollar value attached to it but the main core group will likely continue playing MLB without compensation attached to it.

@go4stros25_PSN this would be a great idea. At least you'd see some variance in the lineups instead of switch hitters 1-9

@go4stros25_PSN I'd consider myself a casual, and my online gameplay has dropped off a cliff. At my peak I managed to get close to 100 games online a year but I don't go on as much because of the exact reasons explained above. I stay offline for the most part, grind programs and play the odd event but I rarely go into ranked. This game was so good in previous years, it's always had issues but some of them were more tolerable.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN I am 1000% okay with losing to guys who are just locked in. But knowing there are cheat aids in play, my gut instinct now assumes I am being fooled and playing against someone with a paid for advantage, sad.

What exactly is anyone to do when you are 99.9% sure someone is cheating? Should the name be reported somewhere?

Asking because my buddy had an incident where he took the lead, game gets paused and then 8 perfect-perfect homers in a row. Could he have be facing Thanos, yes possibly. Was he facing a cheater? I would put my money on the latter. Is there nothing that can be done to remove these people. Ultimately this will kill the game, people who buy it to play baseball and have fun will get smothered by the cheats of the world and move on and this is just from ranked gameplay. The bots controlling the market is another rabbit hole but I'd rather focus on the gameplay and removing the idiots who knowingly cheat to win.

@Dolenz_PSN Appreciate it, I stumbled upon that while I waited for a reply but it was so easy to access in game before, not sure why they'd remove that. Minor inconvenience but just seems silly to have to fire up the website to see the game log.

Thanks again!

@ryguy034753_XBL I am fully aware I am dog [censored] at the video game but it does rattle my cage a bit when I come up against an opponent who is swinging at NOTHING but strikes. You'd assume the human element at some point would get them to chase something but nope. I just assume I am playing a robot when this happens.

Stupid question, it was always so easy to access but where did they locate the game logs? There was a tiny section where I could go back and look at game history before but cannot seem to find that anymore.

TIA

@sbchamps17_NSW thank you, thought it might've been a mistake.

@supplication1975_PSN with the mercy rule, why quit? Stay in there against tough competition and try to take something away from it. There's a large group that "want" to face a scrub and just stockpile runs or bombs for clickbait if they can get the video or clip.

Play the games people

Is anybody else having an issue where the app is sending a Brian Reynolds supercharged message every couple hours? I don't know how much more supercharged this card can get. I can take a screenshot to show the frequency, just curious if anybody else was getting these messages for Reynolds or having a similar issue with another card. TIA

@AGStros_PSN I'd be happy to take a team if something becomes available.

@Jcassaro44_MLBTS season 4 should be just a free for all with all cards eligible and bring out the biggest, wildest cards they can think of. This is just an example but "all seasons eligible in season 4"

Season reward path bosses

Barry Bonds Giants 99
Greg Maddux Braves 99
Alex Rodriguez Mariners 99

Just give me something outrageous and let the ranked games get wild

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X_PSN even though we could juice the lineup against the pitcher? wtf lol

Maybe I'm alone in missing that option, just thought it was fun when you could platoon and get a left handed bat that was 125/125 vs RHP but terrible against LHP.
