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.

Just think of all the other games you could have won and played in that time.

This guy negotiates with terrorists.

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.

Your "opponent" is free to undercut you by one stub to maximize his profit, just like you are free to drop the price by thousands to reduce how much you will make. That's how a market works.

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.

For those that try to collect all of the cards in the game, it's a good idea to complete all of the inning collections before the end of the inning, even if you don't need the XP. Otherwise you're leaving free stubs on the table. Especially with the inning bosses.

@ccarr77_psn said in Give Cubs SP Kyle Hendricks some love already! MLB leader in wins and he gets a downgrade!?:

You said, "Pitcher's don't win games". If your team win a game 1-0 then indeed your pitcher "won" that game for your team.

It's really not that hard to understand dog.

And how was that 1 run scored? Unless the pitcher hit a solo shot and had 27 strikeouts, then the team won the game. The pitcher didn't win it for the team on his own. Even then, you need a catcher that won't drop all those strikeouts.

@weshill627_psn said in Can someone at sds explain:

Oh yeah, let me do Conquest. The exact same game mode thats been there for 4 years without ONE update to make it different. I've done all the Conquests. That is legit the worst thing about this game. Its boring

If you think that's bad, just wait until you find out how little baseball has changed over the years. They still expect us to hit a ball with a bat? Ridiculous. We should at least have jet packs at this point.

@aaronjw76_psn said in Bye Bye Bryce Harper Value:

This didn't age well lol

It didn’t at all he shot up to the moon shortly after I posted this lol

I am really kicking myself. I saw him drop to around 260K at one point and I thought about pulling the trigger. Next time I checked he was back over 360K. I forgot to take into account all of the investment stubs that would flood the market. Oh well...

@weshill627_psn said in Can someone at sds explain:

I'm looking for a way to get the cards they release vs walking my second controller...

Don't we have a month to get the bosses? Do you really need them in 24 hours, just so you can whine about how you have nothing to do for 3+ weeks because the reward path wasn't long enough. Just play the game...

As long as you sign in with the same PSN name, then yes. Everything will automatically be there and you do not need to link accounts or anything like that.

Collection on 8./3.

*Just saw Lischynski beat me to it.

Nolan Ryan with 125 H/9 and 125 K/9, and decent control (for a Nolan Ryan card). Might have to rethink trying him. Usually I'm not a fan.

@yankeefan412_xbl said in YourFriendKyle:

It surprises me reading through this thread just how many people actually spend their time watching other men play video games. I just don’t get it.

If you think about it, it's really not any more absurd than people spending their time watching other men play sports. Why watch football/baseball/hockey when you go go out and do it yourself?

I don't regularly watch Twitch steams, but sometimes I'll check out parts of streams from Kinda Funny since I listen their podcasts. For MLB The Show, I only watch KevinGOHD on YouTube. I stumbled across his channel a few years back when I was too sick to play regularly, and now it's just part of my routine. It helps that they'e short videos. I couldn't imagine watching someone play for more than 10 minutes or so.

@pennstatefencer said in Machado is the new headliner:

@aaronjw76_psn said in Machado is the new headliner:

headliners have seemed really bad this year

Here is a list I put together after a little searching.

Set 1: Josh Donaldson
Set 2: C.J. Abrams
Set 3: Tim Salmon
Set 4: Orel Hershiser
Set 5: Ivan Rodriquez
Set 6: Adam Wainwright
Set 7: Craig Biggio
Set 8: A.J. Burnett
Set 9: Eddie Matthews
Set 10: Dan Plesac
Set 11: Greg Maddux
Set 12: Joe Morgan
Set 13: Pedro Martinez
Set 14: Mickey Mantle
Set 15: Carlos Santana
Set 16: Ron Guidry
Set 17: Cliff Floyd
Set 18/19 (seeing overlap here, not sure if I missed one): Bob Gibson
Set 20: Anthony Rizzo
Set 21: Dwight Evans
Set 22: Ken Griffey Jr.
Set 23: Robb Nen
Set 24 Logan Gilbert
Set 25: Michael Young
Set 26: Stephen Strasburg
Set 27: Manny Machado

I would say at least 10 of those are pretty solid cards, especially at the time they released. Personally, I really liked Donaldson, Abrams, Hershiser, Wainwright, Maddux, Martinez, Mantle, Santana, Floyd, and Griffey Jr. They may not be Chipper, Ortiz, deGrom, Cabrera meta type cards, but they are good. I'm not sure what exactly you were expecting out of headliner type cards that drop to 20K or less.

17 is Brian Roberts, 18 Floyd, 19 Gibson

Thanks, I fixed the list. I can't believe I forgot Roberts. He is one of my favorites of the whole bunch. Still hitting around .400 for me. I've been using him again in the current event.
