@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.

Well, if you're seriously looking to find another studio to create a baseball game, you're certainly posting in the right place...

ScottD doesn't know, that the MLB made a stadium that wasn't in the movie.

Oh, ScottD doesn't know
So don't tell ScottD

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.

You don't need to say anything really because this is a terrible take. If you don't want to use them, don't. Variety is good.

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.

I had almost every card in the game before today, and I'm 6 collections short...

I have no problem playing the long game, but that was more than I expected. Also, prices have crashes hard. I was holding some duplicates to sell, and that looks like the wrong call.

I'm not at my console right now, but you can definitely filter on the lineup screen for team or series.

I don't think anything fishy is going on with Bay. He is a BR reward that you can no longer get in the BR pack, so supply has dried up. I tried to buy him about a week ago, but there was little to no movement, so I decided to just wait for a rewind pack. People will likely overpay later to get Brett faster if necessary.

Because SDS plans on mailing it in the rest of the year

In all seriousness though, I like the look. Pumped for the collection later.

@savefarris_mlbts said in POTM is released tomorrow?:

Only one more week of TN cards in the path ... I think we just might get it tomorrow! (is what @SaveFarris_PSN would say if he wasn't banned.)

My Switch account was banned a few days ago and I have no idea why. Pretty sure I didn't post anything remotely ban worthy. I've definitely been more sarcastic on this account over the years and never had a single issue. Banning you is even more absurd.

What about Finest cards? It looks like there is one in the new always intense pack. We may need one of those things tomorrow too...

I could be wrong, but I don't think they drop much more if it all by tomorrow. I would wait to see if they go up a little if people need a Babe Ruth voucher for Brett, and decide to go for it.

No more slip n sliiiiiiide! Good bye forever.

We'll see. I just hope they didn't break the game again like they did last time when they updated it

That's true, I think gameplay updates come slow for this exact reason. They have a lot more to fix. Hopefully hitting is next!

Let's be honest fixing the super dives does effect hitting. You might get 2 or 3 more hits a game that way. Foul balls is the only thing that might be fixed for hitting though. Exit velo randomness has been a problem since 18 and isn't going away

I try and present both sides with this game. A lot of time that means there are things I think could be better or need fixed, but sometimes SDS does things right. I know I am in the minority, but I think Update 6 did help foul balls. In no way am I saying it fixed it, but they said they were making a small adjustment and I do think it helped. I think it took it back more to where 21 was at. I know I am striking out more hitters after that update, even though the foul ball issue prevents many that should be. I would love to see another adjustment or two made, but I am completely fine if they do it incrementally to make sure they don't completely break something.

I will also say that I played one event game this morning and the first pitch of the game was a low and in sinker and I hit a hard groundball to the left side with Trout. His SS dove and came up a foot short. It was a much more realistic animation. Obviously small sample size, but it was definitely different. I am interested to see if it impacts outfield dives also. The notes mention "dive in the infield", but I feel the outfield dives have been as big of a problem or even bigger.

I have no doubt they tweaked the foul balls a bit, but it's really not noticeable enough to be satisfactory. As for the outfield dives I didn't see them as much of a problem as infield myself. A successful outfield dive required much more precision in when you press the button. The infield dives seemed like you could just dive at any time and stop anything

The most unrealistic part of the outfield dives have been people diving to trap a ball which has already landed to turn a double into a single. It's not as annoying as the slip and slide in the infield, but my opponents have done that a few times and it looks ridiculous.

That card art though. Lovely.

Looks kind of like a stamp to me.
