I want my time back that I wasted reading this post, but you know what the Stones say...

@Onyx_Hokie_2 said in Penalty For Requesting FQ While Losing:

A recent opponent had the brass neck to ask for a "Friendly" Quit while losing 6-0 in the 3rd inning.

I think that if/when such things are reported, the offending player should receive - at minimum - a 24-hour ban from playing online.

I also think that the game should incorporate a system whereby it's not possible to ask for an FQ beyond a certain threshold, or better still requiring more than one button press to accept an FQ.

Thoughts?

Are you sure a 24 hour ban is enough? Maybe SDS should send a major league ball player to their house to take out their knee caps with a bat.

It's a video game. Decline the friendly quit, and lighten up, Francis.

I've never watched his content. Apparently he has over 240k subscribers. You would hope someone with that kind of following would be capable of playing a video game without acting like a [censored], but I guess not.

Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?

I’ve been using this forum since 17, and without a doubt the post where people were complaining about lefty common pitchers in the event (which is allowed based on the rules) was one of the dumbest complaints I have ever seen.

The average player has never visited this forum, doesn’t notice the lag/frame rate issues, and even if they did they probably didn’t connect it to MLB parks. They’re just trying to play a video game.

Then there is another small percentage of players that know about the lag / frame rate and simply don’t care because they want to play in MLB stadiums in an MLB game.

I understand the frustration, but trying to change what away parks you end up in by complaining about it here is equivalent to pissing in the wind.

@zach7153 said in What exactly is considered bunt cheesing?:

I've seen threads complaining about people bunt cheesing but what exactly is considered bunt cheesing? Is it just people that bunt the whole game? Cause I know there are times where I bunt in this game for certain situations it is apart of the game after all

Basically bunting anytime with a speedy player to the right side or bunting to beat the auto shift. Not in a situation that you would bunt

I'm not an advocate for bunting all the time, but if an opponent keeps bunting against the auto shift and you don't turn that auto shift off... you really have no one to blame but yourself. That's no more "cheesy" than the defense shifting based on offensive tendencies so they are more likely to be where the ball is hit.

You can't expect the pros without the cons.

I hate these types of boomers who say this...like do you actually realize how low the percentages of dying over covid is? look at the facts bud

Do you realize COVID could potentially cause permanent, irreversible damage?

It's not just about death. Don't worry though. It's not like the world's best athletes rely on their lungs. Oh wait...

The more you know...

This must be a joke, right? I'm sorry if this comes off as rude, but is every one of your opponents supposed to adjust their play time to your schedule? If you don't have time to play the game, don't play the game. If we matched up and you were away so long that the timer actually expired, I'm clicking that forfeit button and attempting to match up with someone who won't waste my time.

There was about a 2-3 month period over the summer where I knew I was too sick to make it through a 9 inning game without needing to pause for an extended period of time. Do you know what I did? I stuck to 3-inning game modes where I was more likely to make it through without needing to pause, or I played conquest/moments until I was sure I could actually get through a game without wasting my opponents time, or risking a forfeit.

If SDS actually instituted what you're suggesting, as soon as anyone went down by a run or two they would just pause the game indefinitely and wait for their opponent to quit out of frustration. This idea is so incredibly bad that I am convinced it must be a troll post.

Assuming that for #3 you are also including the CPU padded stats from after the opponent quit, then #3-5 are some of the worst suggestions I have ever seen brought to the attention of members of this forum.

This is an overly complicated and unnecessary solution to something which barely even qualifies as an issue. The only legitimate complaint regarding opponents quitting mid-game is when it's mid-homerun, which could be even more easily solved by SDS not linking online stats to something like prestige cards, or by them making the stat count the instant contact is made since the game knows what is going to happen.

Plus, with how random the outcome is at times in The Show, it's way better for you when the opponent just throws in the towel. Chances are they would have clawed their way back and made it interesting on some BS anyway.

There is no DH in Diamond Dynasty.

It's not free, game pass is double the cost of Xbox Live each year. For many, buying the game outright will be a better deal.

You can convert your existing Xbox Live subscript to Game Pass Ultimate (which includes both) for $1. If you got a better deal than that on The Show, I'd like to see it.

lmfao read the fine print on that deal chief.

Get your first month for $1,
then $14.99/mo.*

Maybe you should read what I wrote. That's not the same deal "chief". I said convert Xbox Live Gold, not start a trial for $1. If you're going to try to be a smart [censored], you should at least make sure you're right so you don't look like an idiot.

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/gold/upgrade

You can buy up to three years of Xbox Live Gold and convert it to three years + one month of Game Pass Ultimate for an additional $1. I know this for a fact because I did it back when Newegg had Live Gold on sale for $50. I bought two years of Xbox Live Gold and converted it to 25 months of Game Pass Ultimate for a grand total of $101.

My long national nightmare is finally over. I now have every TA 42 player and should finally have 99 Jackie tomorrow.

50 successful TA showdowns!

Seriously though, congrats. That is a huge commitment. I've only got 2 done so far. Going to try to knock out one per day going forward.

I've had the same problem and haven't found a solution yet. Matched up with someone in the event with a custom stadium. I tried to use one and got an error message every time. I was trying the default created stadiums like cornfield so they should work.

Hank Aaron's price has tanked hard if anyone wanted to try him out. Down to 21,650 at the moment, which is 5-10 K less than the rest of the 42 series.

@legend-snake_xbl said in Which 42 Legend is the best?:

silly question here...how do you get the second one?

You either had to pre-order the digital deluxe edition, or you purchase from the market.

@rocky9169_xbl said in Picked the same 42 player on accident.:

yeah i put in a ticket as well.... hopefully they can help me out

I think they have been able to correct similar mistakes in the past, so there is a chance that they might be able to remove the card from your inventory and give you back the choice pack. At the very least I know they have the ability to manipulate your inventory based on the Pirates reward in 19, which was changed to a different card later in the year. People were able to reach out to SDS to have the original card switched to Gerrit Cole.

Just don't be surprised if it takes a while for you to get a response. While it sucks, they have bigger problems at the moment with the server and marketplace issues, and trying to get everything off the ground.

@twistedhunter said in Picked the same 42 player on accident.:

Sell it and buy one that you don't have from the marketplace.

He's talking about one of the non-sellable team affinity 42 cards.

I don't have a solution for this one, and I've been paranoid about opening those player and uniform packs myself because I'm worried about accidentally selecting the same one twice. Seems like an oversight on the dev's part. It could be as simple as adding an additional dialogue box for "are you sure" if you already have the card you are selecting. I mean, if they do that for something stupid like simulating conquest hexagons, why not do it here where it actually matters?

Check your event lineup. Even if you haven't played the event. That's pretty much always the issue.
