Stop using your bumpers to control base runners it’s that simple.

This guy! Look at the big brains on Brett

Yeah this guy who points out that you won’t overrun bases if you don’t use the bumpers to control your runners instead of controlling them individually. Wow what a novel solution to the problem. And if you refuse to learn how to do this than you deserve to be thrown out when you overrun the base. Enough said

You tell EM! Or maybe they fix this? That could be another viable option. You know... bring things to light, on a few occasions this has rendered a patch from SDS. Why is it an issue to point out something that isn’t working as intended? It’s a function in the game. If it doesn’t work how it’s suppose to shouldn’t the community say something? Isn’t this a forum where players can come to and point out some of these things? And how do people not know Clark Kent is Superman? He disguises himself as well as Waldo at a funeral.

So let me get this straight, because YOU believe something is broken doesn’t mean that the developers see it as being broken. There is a solution to this problem and I pointed it out. Don’t use the advance all runners bumper and you WONT overrun the base. If you choose the individual runner and tell them which base to run to you won’t run yourself into an out unless you are truly thrown out by the defense I.e. trying to stretch a single into a double. So please tell me how this is broken when there is a solution to the issue that you can use. It may require you to train yourself to do something new but there is a learning curve to learning anything new. Again I ask what is broken here?

So we should all just figure out ways to get around broken parts of the game and never expect the game to work the way its intended??? I wanna sell you a car!

@dbbg1515_mlbts said in I know what I’ll do!:

If they were going to do server maintenance that kept it down for hours maybe they shouldn’t have done it right when the east coast is waking up.

Not sure if some of you guys realize this, but they do it at the lowest traffic time possible. Most normal people don't wake up and go straight to playing video games. People must have pretty sad lives that servers being down is this big of a deal... when they go down the only thing better to do you can think of, is to come here and cry about it. It was scheduled maintenance.... life will go on even if you can't play the Show for 2 hours.

It's not like the only option is Showdown... you could skip showdown and play online for the points or skip online and play showdown. I like showdown a lot better than moments. They are never going to just giveaway 99s.... you have to play a little bit to earn them.

@mackattack000012_psn said in Imagine staying in a game for 8 hours you're losing:

So let me get this straight. If you were at 870 and 2 wins away from WS and you’re up 4-1 and the game suddenly freezes you wouldn’t have any other hobbies to do while waiting for the other guy to quit? Sounds pathetic to me that your only hobby is The Show and you get withdrawal symptoms cause that’s some people’s logic in here

Yeah thats why the game lasted 16 hours before i finally quit as the guy was streaming on his 2nd account and was never quitting, I watched a full season of greys anatomy nearly came back and he was still frozen haha

I mean... You kinda deserved the L. Grey's Anatomy? That's a massive L in itself. You got nothing better to do than that??

the guy stayed in a freeze off for 16 hours... do you think he has better things to do?

@theblindrhino said in lol well i screwed myself:

You'd think they would eliminate the possibility of this happening. Once you own a non-sellable card there is no reason to re-pick it.

I mean there is a big obvious x1 on owned cards so we know if we have it or not. I think the issue is people don't pay attention.

@lucas8181_psn said in Are we ever going to address catchers not making tags when they have the ball when a runner is 1/4th the way down the 3rd base line?:

Yup. I have a friend that steals home every time he's on 3rd. His pitcher regularly steals home. I won't say how he does it, but it's based partly on what you've posted above.

Too many exploits, not enough rewards for good input, MLB 21

Infuriating to lose a game on a steal of home... happens way too often. It doesn't hardly ever happen in real life and neither do squeeze plays.

tired of hearing covid be used as an excuse for companies like SDS who easily could have operated like normal the whole time safely by just wearing mask and staying home if you are feeling sick. I have worked the entire time since covid in a much more risky field than a company that literally 95% of the work being done is at a desk in front of computer where its so easy to work and isolate from other workers. I appreciate the update and not complaining about the game... just frustrating hearing all the sallies crying covid and not working through it.

Its pretty obvious from the marketplace that a lot of people dont understand how it works or just dont care enough to bother. people like this is why we can can buy order a card for 5000 and sell for 7000 30 seconds later.

I really don’t get it. Do these people pick with their eyes closed?

seems like it.

^^^^^^^^^ My whole point is that Diamonds should be for Superstars i.e. Trout, Acuna, deGrom, Tatis etc etc. Then guys like Castellanos, Yates, Jose Ramirez are great players but not superstar levels. That is why they should create a new tier of diamonds for superstars and all the other guys can have high gold ratings or the lower blue diamond ratings.

So Trout is a superstar and the other diamonds are not? Have you watched baseball the last 3 years? Trout hasn't been top ten in a single hitting stat in a long time... I'd rather keep it how it is, so we can use the stars we want and not get stuck with the Trout top player every year. Trout isn't even the best player on his own team... If Trout is a superstar currently then most this years live diamonds deserve good cards too because they put up better numbers for consecutive years. Trout is way overated and true baseball fans want the real studs of the current MLB to have elite cards too. I know people will line up to defend Trout being the best, but before you do provide true statistical evidence that Trout is one of these 4 or 5 top superstars that deserve the only diamonds... because the real numbers can't prove that.

I think a small boost for theme teams could be cool... something like +1 to every stat for 10 players from same team and +2 for 25 players. I play Madden and The Show and I.M.O. Madden has way too many boosts to be even slightly realistic. For example a guy like Jerome Bettis having 99 speed and being as fast as say Tyreek Hill is lame... totally defeats the purpose of having Tyreek Hill when almost anyone can be boosted to 99 speed. Too many boosts and you will have the same issue.
The thing I want to see the most from SDS is fixing the online play... RS and BR plays totally different than offline modes and to me that's by far the biggest issue with this game. Stuff like catchers freezing up on steals and diamond fielders botching routine plays all the time online makes it hard to get into this game enough to play straight through and skip Madden. I like online play the most and the randomness in RS games is my biggest issue. This game has so much going for it... it blows my mind that the simple things never get fixed... online play is quirky at best.

I actually really enjoy showdown. It's probably my favorite offline mode.

I think most sports games don't change much year to year. Madden is always disappointing imo because it always feels the same. Honestly.... what major changes were there for The Show this year besides cross play and a few minor differences??? I keep playing Madden and The Show every year because I love football and baseball and there are no other options for either.

@mickdrenalen_psn said in 0 dollars spent:

If you spend money on the game you probably have disposable income. That's your choice and right. I will never spend money on a video game other than the game itself ever again. It's just not worth it to me. If you put in the time you shouldn't need to buy stubs. Its for impatient lazy people. Which there are plenty of no doubt.

lazy people??? you got it backwards Jr.... I spend money on stubs because I dont have much spare time and money is easier to come by than free time with a job. The idea of flipping cards hours and hours is mind numbing to me and I would rather be at work honestly.

Some really interesting takes in here on Madden. As a lifelong Madden player I can tell some of the comments are from people that are clueless how Madden actually is. Yes... the show gives you much more to stay engaged offline, but anybody who has actually played both regularly knows that Madden is far more competitive online. The Show online is way too random to ever take H2H competition seriously and the servers on the Show definitely take away from the H2H experience. To me online Madden is way better and offline The Show is better. I rarely lose a game in Madden and feel like I outplayed my opponent and still lost. The Show on the other is so obvious in a close game that when it's time for you to lose... you are going to lose regardless of your performance. losing on a late inning HR where the guy hasn't gotten a hit all game is infuriating... 99% of the time I lose on Madden I got outplayed. Yes... people use exploits in Madden, but of you can't stop them and lose... you got outplayed in that game. The Show could be so much better with upgraded servers and less random hitting outcomes.

You don't have to quit to follow a career. You just have to find balance with it. I'm 40 years old have a great career, several other hobbies, Girlfriend, and a 16 year old son and would say I play more now than I did when I was younger. I use it as my relaxing time in the evening after running around at work all day. Everybody needs time to just relax and some people read, watch TV... some play video games. I only play DD and MUT and only commit to one at a time. I play on average 2 hours per night during the week and a lot on the weekend during the winter months. Just don't expect yourself to have every card in the game... thats for the 8+ hour a day guys... tough to have a career and play 40+ hours a week for sure.

@lazy_toast_psn said in Big Stub sell don't miss it:

Let me throw some personal knowledge your way

I got a new Financial Advisor at my job who works with me. Dude legit would work 17 hours a day if his wife let him. But he’s loaded. I recently turned him on to the show and he calls me one night. He’s pissed. He goes “ how am I suppose to be competitive with these cards against these god squad guys”? I told him about buying stubs and he couldn’t believe it cause in Madden you can’t do this. So the guy drops hundreds of dollars so he can field, in his eyes, a competitive team. Time is his nemesis so he just buys what we grind. He made me realize why some ppl do it

This is exactly why I spend real money. It's much easier for me to waste money than it is to waste time. Between work, girlfriend and other hobbies I'm lucky to play 1-2 hours per day, but I like to play H2H not grind or flip cards. The only way I can have a decent team versus the guys playing constantly is to give my team a boost with purchased stubs. It's easy for the guys with nothing but free time in their life to brag about NMS or say its stupid to spend when its so easy to make stubs... when I have time to play, I just want to enjoy playing and not have to chase stubs and cards to have a good team. I have a house, 2 cars, a boat, and all my bills are paid on time... I have no issue with knowing I'm just wasting money on a video game because it entertains me and if I wasn't wasting it here... I would just waste it somewhere else anyways.

@kingakp_xbl said in For all the players new to flipping the market..:

Now is a really good time to make stubs if you know where to look.. I'm not necessarily gonna give up my favorite method right now but I will say that easy stubs are to be made flipping collection cards. Veteran, Rookie, Breakout etc etc etc. It's obviously easier to get good margins if you have a bit of stubs to start but there are a whole lot of cards that are almost risk free. And you can just keep flipping the same cards for 1500-2k stub profits a pop til you get enough stubs to start getting in on the larger priced cards for larger margins. Def not a guide to the market but I thought I'd throw some new payers a bone. The market is moving really fast and there are stubs to be made if you stay on top of it. People are preparing for a new collection. Also, if you have the stubs to buy these cards and hold them, you will double or triple your profit when the next collection is released. Best of luck

Bro you suck... If you think you are the only one to figure this out you are a moron... There goes my profit margin...

nobody cares about your profit margin except for you. God forbid somebody tries to offer tips to new players on this forum. If you think flipping is gonna tank because of one thread vaguely describing some tips for flipping cards... you are the moron.

how is it a lie???? 1 out of 100 is a 1% chance everytime.

What numbers are you looking at? The fact that when Trout is on the field he’s the best player. That’s a fact. Look at his slugging, OPS, OPS+, OBP. Those numbers are a true reflection of what he does when he’s on the field. He’s top 5 or very close in those categories every year.

That is the point though is Trout hasn't been on the field much.... he hasn't been a top 4 or 5 in any batting statistic in the last two seasons. Why would Trout have one of the 4 most rare top rated superstar card in the only series that reflects current performance? I disagree with the post I quoted about Trout ect. should be the only diamonds superstar players. Trout should be a 99 sig not a 99 live series
