And they were completely fine/fun. Nobody bunt danced/R2 spammed/ quick pitched (much anyways). One game was a blowout but no one quit. No one abused the pause timers...scores were reasonable (5-2, 9-0)

The only reason I’m writing this is, given the toxic cesspit that everyone on these forums describes, I wanted to try it out for myself. It was neither completely broken nor unplayable. No vast AI conspiracy dictated the winner or the loser. I haven’t played The show since 17, I’ve never been a top player (CS in 17), and I thought the game felt pretty good online. I gave up runs on one mistake pitch and one great pitch... both of which happen IRL. I’m sure this isn’t reflective of the top tier - meta etc, but from the perspective of a filthy casual, I just wanted to say that RS felt pretty good at the start.

Now bring on the hate!

@msk5031_psn said in Needed Conquest QOL change:

I feel Conquest is overdue for a QOL change. Simulating is a real pain and makes the mode slow and aggravating. What if once we conquer the last stronghold a team owns, we gain every area that team owns, with 1 fan per area. This would really made the mode more playable IMO. With moments and showdown introduced Conquest really needs a change to make it more enjoyable. Maybe I'm wrong and in the minority and people love simulating but I don't think I am.

I don’t think this is the answer. I think the answer is that simming should be almost instant. There is no reason for a coin flip/dice roll to take as long as it does. You should hit x and instantly we w/l and fans lost. I have no idea why it takes so [censored] long.

This take is... bad... just really bad. And I don’t own an Xbox. The idea that someone is more/less likely to cheat or anything based on what console they have is... yeah, I try not to be toxic, but that is not... correct or rational.

Sounds like you are trying to drive up the price for profit before the next update.... don’t worry, it will go up... the. Down again after the update. I hedge by keeping a few, but the way to play the investment is to buy after the updates when all the “OHTANI IS DEF GOING DIAMOND” guys sell when he doesn’t

Agree with OP. What am I supposed to do at work? Work? No!

I played this gem in ranked, I hope they follow through and ban this scumbag. Trash Human Logo Here

I played some loser yesterday whose logo was the a racist epitaph....he raged quit after I hit 3 HRs off of him. I reported him and hope he gets banned. He was of couse an Xbox player since the Xbox just attracts all the racists

Right….It has nothing to do with Halo or Gears or the other Xbox exclusives like gamepass. When I was deciding which one to get it was my love of racism that made me choose Xbox. You’re extremely intelligent & intuitive.

I love these takes. (FWIW I own a PS5). I’m not usually a fan of the “go outside” advice that gets thrown around on these boards, but if you think that console choice is indicative of personality traits.... go outside.

I’m glad it’s out there. Someone tried the iBB one on me. I was up 6-0 in a pretty meaningless ranked game (300s). Had no idea what was going on but it didn’t freeze and he quit a minute later. At the end of the day companies fix stuff when it costs them money. If the streamers people watch publicize this enough, it becomes worth it to fix the problem.

Simple 5 step process:

1. Get Married
2. Have Son.
3. Wait 12 years.
4. Son won’t stfu about it and wife goes nuts on discord groups etc till she happens to get one after like 300 attempts.
5. Enjoy PS5

I’m on the “Sinkers are OP” train with one major Caveat... go hop on pitcherlist and look at the nastiest pitches from yesterday... Corbin Burnes through a high sinker that tailed down and away (and appeared to defy physics) at ~98... so it is possible... but that is something ONE guy can do... not 50% of SPs.

Seriously 11 errors and a sub 90% fielding percentage at SS means his arm accuracy should be moved to the bottom of the barrel, and hitting stats bumped. I’m a fan of his but the defense is about as far from diamond as it can get.

@evylshaun_psn said in Favorite Team Mt. Rushmore:

Just quickly skimmed this thread so I might ne wrong, but I'm pretty sure I didn't see the Red Sox mentioned once.

Ted Williams
Pedro Martinez
David Ortiz
Carl Yastrzemski

I can’t argue with any of those names, but it’s soooooo tough. Clemens, Rice, Speaker, Boggs, etc all are tough to leave off. Plus if you get into the guys who just didn’t last long enough (Nomar, Manny (seriously his numbers were crazy), Pedroia to name a few recent ones).

Semi related: I love this type of thing, really makes me appreciate baseball... then again I’ve probably sat through the Ken Burns documentary 5-7 times and could happily do so another 10, so maybe it’s just me.

Just throwing it out there: this forum could use a mod with a heavy hand.

Every day it is “Scripted BS! R2 ruins my life! [censored] everyone who isn’t me. Contact swing is worse than when my mother died of cancer! Quick pitching killer my nephew! Someone undercut me by 1 stub and I want to set his house on fire!”

The worst part is, that is the civil/productive part. From there we get to “this is your online record, you don’t get to have an opinion. Get gud. <insert bevy of personal attacks>”.

There are perfectly decent ways to complain/suggest improvements. “Hey SDS, it seems like tons of bombs are being hit with contact swing. Is anyone looking into that? It’s kind of Messing up the game for me.” Accomplishes everything that a massive toxic rant does.

Long story short. I have a suggestion: SDS, can you start suspending or banning the people who make these forums horribly toxic?

I object to every rating change that did and did not occur

Unless it benefited my investments

They almost certainly are accurate though. You are not taking into account how probability works. Flip a coin 10 times, you probably won’t get 5 heads and 5 tails. The odds of heads or tails on the next toss is still 50/50. The idea that I’m “due” if I open a bunch and don’t get a diamond is the gamblers fallacy. You still have the same odds on the next pull. If you opened 5 million packs it would stabilize. Each pack is an independent event.

SDS is not going to open itself to legal liability through nefarious coding. There are already countries where “loot boxes” are banned or must have published odds. Serious $ in potential fines would far exceed any benefit (if you are assuming there is one, which I disagree with)

@the_dragon1912 said in Y'all buying the Kitchen Sink pack?:

I probably will, because I have stubs to spare and want Dibble, but generally it's not a good idea lol

there is a new dibble? oooooooo baby i have around 200K stubs

Oh I have the stubs (thank you hot market spreads!). But I still need to buy Cole and Trout... I can’t wait to finish LS... then I’ll feel like I can just buy the stuff I want and not be staring at that Trout price tag every time...

@random_schmuck_psn said in 2021 deserves a new card series...:

I want an Overhyped Bust series. Looking at you Francisco Mejia.

This would be amazing. All commons. The “Ryan leaf” collection. Brandon Wood, Ankiel the pitcher, etc...

Agree with most of OPs post. Also I do lite flipping:

Personally I have a flipping rotation that I run through between each game. 10-15 golds that I place 3 buy and 3 sell orders for assuming the spreads are there for me to make 250+ stubs per transaction after tax per card. Doesn’t take long and it is constantly adding 10-20k to the bank without devoting hours to flipping sessions

Thome is the 1st base play!

I love Adley. Having a switch hitter w/ solid speed, defense, contact and power is super nice. Usually hits 7th, but super well rounded and helps keep the lineup balanced.

Just wanted to give a shout-out to this card. For those of who can’t afford/don’t want to pay for Santana, Adley is a very good replacement. Personally I hit way better with him than Huff. Diamond fielding SH w/ pretty good stats from both sides that he plays above.
