Cool story

they only put good past players in the game like Pedro and Ortiz. lol

No need for speculation. The team is working hard on the connectivity issues.

It was down again last night, the night before, the night before that. I spent $100 dollars on this game and barely have been able to play because it seems to never work when I can get free time. It's fair to expect speculation at this point with so little information on your end as to what is going on. It's honestly gotten very frustrating now and think refunds should be given if problems can't be solved. This is an online game that doesn't work online... I wouldn't have bought the game if I knew I couldn't play it.

Honestly tho I have the MLB hof ones done and the AL done , doing the NL today , I’m about 8-12 hours playing time deep. Haven’t lost yet

Funny how some people can call grinding 12 hours in one day easy or not too bad. I'm jealous because I'm lucky if I get 12 hours in a week. LoL... if i played moments for 12 hours in a single day my brain would literally leak out of my ears.

Nope... the biggest issue is the servers are garbage. This is by far the worst lag game I've ever played.

Played a couple hours last night and an hour today and I am very impressed with the game so far. I play The Show half the year and Madden the other half. Getting back to The Show at launch without any lag or server issues is great and loving all the content. The addition of captains and ways to boost your squad is a great addition. There is so much content to go through and excited to be back to the grind. My biggest complaint with this game has always been poor servers and issues especially at launch and I haven't seen the slightest bit of lag yet... if that keeps up all year, this game is nearly perfect. I wish SDS could make a football game similar to The Show. I'm excited and just wanted to share.

Cool story... but there are not 98 diamonds at every position yet. And wasting time between pitches intentionally has to be one of the most sour puss reactions to having an inferior team. Grow up bud... get a better team before going into ranked seasons if your gonna pout over not having one.

I feel sorry for anybody willing to sit in a freeze off for 8 hours winning or losing. Its 1 win of a video game and to care that much is very bizarre to me... some people need to get outside and get some fresh air... I can't even go 9 innings with a pause spammer when I'm winning... nevermind 8 hours in a freeze off. some guys care way too much about a video game record... sad.

I'm not a good hitter and do the Showdowns easily too. Patience is the key and also "hero time" is the best perk by far... it stays active for ever swing throughout the entire Showdown. Showdown is the quickest program points we get... I really hope all the crying this year doesn't make SDS get rid of them. I hate how time consuming the PXP missions are... we should cry about those instead. It blows my mind that people hate Showdown which is 25 points for 30 minutes or so of time, but have no issue doing hours and hours of mindless PXP missions for equal points. If you can't beat Showdowns, you are either swinging at every single pitch or you are not hitting in any mode anyways, so why only cry about Showdown.

I think it's being aimed more toward casual players than years past. They want a bigger fan base and for somebody like me who can only make time to play an average of 1-2 hours a day I can say that you aren't getting the LS collection done already unless you play a lot more than 1-2 a day or paying over $1000 in real money. I'm trying to get just the A.L done and still haven't gotten there. To those saying it's super easy to aquire every top card already.... you are full of [censored] and you know you have to grind your [censored] off to get all the LS players done already. Some of you guys that's only purpose in life is to play video games 8 hours a day take that for granted and also get whiny when you see others at the same point as you already. I'm glad it's not super difficult to aquire a good team because I can't play enough to have a God squad like some, but I can still compete with them. There are all different types of players out there with different schedules and most of have a life outside of videogames and kudos to SDS for making a more level playing field... it's nice being able to work, have a family, a house to take care of and still be able to log on a couple hours at night and still enjoy online matchups.

@DeleteyourTTVBTW_MLBTS said in Idea to get more action in Ranked?:

When WS players won’t play away games for three years, egos are most certainly on the line.

I don't necessarily think home hunting is due to egos. It's really a [censored] shoot playing away games, because trying to hit a baseball with lag is unbearable and not fun at all. I don't have any ego regarding video game performance, and have only played maybe 6 RS games all year due to all the content to grind offline and limited time to play. When I play ranked or BR I will back out if I see lag in the select pitcher screen and has nothing to do with ego or having an advantage... I just hate playing H2H games with lag. Honestly I don't blame anyone for not wanting to play a laggy game, and SDS should have done something to correct this issue a long time ago and they haven't. This game is literally the only game I play that I have ANY issues with lag... it's a major negative for me in this game... it's ridiculous.

Agree 100%

@talesofwyn_PSN said in Miles Mikolas “nickname”:

most of these "nicknames" are pretty bad Youk instead of greek god of walks? I imagine most of these guys were never called these nicknames in their life

Literally was called "Youk" his entire career by fans, players, and coaches. I get your point, but that was a horrible example... lol

Agreed.... it's not about "keeping it fresh" it's about keeping the whales spending money all year. It only gets worse every year in ALL online games now.

@BestPalV_PSN said in Freeze off what's new?:

Multi million dollar company still can't fix simple networking/connection issues since MLB 14... Please hire me I'm a senior software engineer I can get things done right at SDS.

Do you [censored] and moan when something doesn't go your way at your senior software engineering job too??? Good riddance if you're actually an adult making multiple threads pouting about a video game.

For some odd reason... I have always hit better in conquest on All-star than I do on veteran. If you are struggling, hop into practice on HOF and then go play conquest on All-star... I think you will do better than playing on veteran.

Nice thread.... thanks for sharing. LoL

It seems to get a little tougher every year. It's not viable for everybody... but the margins are a lot bigger in the early morning. I've had some good mornings this year when I have had the time to pull out my phone at work.

@ChuckCLC_PSN said in TA Season 2 is underwhelming:

This is how I feel about LS collection as well. Billy Wagner may be the only one I continue to use.

Sosa and Jeter are great.Mark might be the worst 99 I have ever used

Wagner, Sosa, and Jeter are all very good... but with all the buyable 99s this year, they aren't 3 million stubs good.

Seems like a lot of content this year. I can't even come close to completing it all. There is nothing wrong with pleasing the hard core players, that play like it's a full time job. My issue is the limited time our rewards are relevant. All this grinding is way less rewarding knowing that I only get to use these cards for a few months and then useless. I'm sure a lot of people love this new "keep it fresh" system... but for me, it has only killed my motivation to grind as much as years past. Looking at a huge collection like set 1 and knowing the rewards are only usable for a few months, takes all my motivation away from trying to complete it. That set is a massive grind for cards that you can't use all year if you like them all.
