@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.

this seasons idea isn't appealing. I hate that I built up a solid roster in season 1 and it's essentially useless in season 2. There should've been more carryover to keep things alive and well.

@allday9128_PSN NAILED IT

@BLAISEBLAISE_PSN he has been on another planet lately. I was watching a game and the announcer said "Royce Lewis decided to start hitting like Barry Bonds for a while"

His numbers are gross.

I forget which version of the game ended this option but remember when it allowed you to create a lineup specifically against LH starter and RH starters? Can we get this back? I love setting my lineup to give myself a decided advantage and just have it default to this depending on my opponents starter.

I remember platooning some players because they were so dominant against one or the other.

...on today's daily Moment! Only needing a hit! It should have been at least required hitting a dong! I think the Moment should have been 3 dongs in 3 games as Cal hit a dong in game 2129, hit a dong in game 2130, and hit a dong in game 2131!

I will definitely not see 2632 broken in my lifetime since it will take 17 full 162-game seasons to overcome that record.

And the way organizations treat and train their players today, they made sure it will never be broken again.

You are correct sir! There are numerous records that will never be broken. Ripken, consecutive games played. DiMaggio hitting streak. Ryan 5700 strikeouts. Rose/Ichiro (however you look at it) all time hits. I’m 99% sure no one will ever hit .400 again and I’m 100% sure no one will win 300 games again. Nobody will sniff Bonds walks record….both single season and career.

Unless there's a catastrophic shift in the way the game is played this is correct. Nobody can stay healthy to play every game anymore, at least not many. Players strike out ALOT!!! so a batting average over .300 means you're in a small percentile. Even the Nolan Ryan strikeout record, there are so many pitchers who can get to the 6th inning and that's it. What kills me about this is players nowadays are supposedly superior athletes but they can't seem to handle the same rigors that the players of the past could.
