In 2 hours I got Luis Gil and Blake treinen

I did the repeatable conquest map with Yankees and then played 1 9 inning game with dodgers plus Luis Gil pitching the whole game.

Got the 500k need for Luis Gil to make a ton of team affinity progress.

Got tons of packs in the process, pulled a mason Miller and increased my stub count by about 60k

This is good content, I'm making progress and can multi-task things as I'm doing it. I don't have to wait for an eternity to make progress and earn packs

Very happy not to see Barry Bonds

Not me, that was the first name I was looking for

I got Witt and was able to finish off live series

9 inning mini season

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X_PSN said in Community Homerun Packs:

I'm assuming thst since nobody has posted about who they pulled from these packs; they haven't been that great.

I got a bunch if LS players I already had in my binder; including the Chase pack.

Probably the only positive thing about these is that Wright tanked in cost.

I pulled Wright out of the chase

I didn't even notice on socials that they had released anything today and then about 9pm I went in and I was like holy [censored]....I can prob easily get randy or gehrig now once I get half of this new content done. I still haven't finished the jdom program or mccutchen and I'm over 100 cards. Would be nice if it was like this all year where I have a sense of urgency to even keep up

I spent like 600k stubs or something a few weeks ago on Adley and still haven't used him bc I have posada a p4.5...trying to get him to P5 before I switch.

Would hate if Adley dropped back down to like 100k by the time I even used him lol

Dedicated servers please

@dbub_PSN said in I Give Up on Ketel Marte Cards:

I couldn't hit well with his first 99. I hit worse with his 95 AS. And the absolute worst has been this super juiced Finest.

I know most everyone else loves him which I guess is why I keep trying him, but I'm done with Ketel.

I'm always good with ketel but always terrible with lindor

I was good with Jeter last year but not this year

Always terrible with biggio but he may be my best card this year.

Last year trout I was great wiht jive series but that juiced 99 I was terrible with

Always terrible with vlad Jr period.

Last year was great with carroll but most seemed to not like his swing

So yeah attributes are overrated at times

Polanco is always a top 5 card for me too, each year

Am I the only one that likes showdown more than endless moments and these get 15 base hits with LF type missions?

Each year I get sweaty and nervous playing ranked where it almost eliminates the fun of ranked for me as I do events and br way more frequently.

This year I went 42-0 before losing and then I won one to end. So I'm 43-1...using playing on all star and playing end of season knowing I prob have a good advantage against my opponent. I don't ever really sweat for world series. I'm not trying to brag my record cause I'm not really pushing the competition so it is what it is.

To play well I feel like I need to be in the right mood, well rested, caffeinated, calm, patient, in a recent groove hitting wise, etc

Part of the reason I protect my record is I get ALOT of free quits in br and events making my speed of getting thru the programs better and more efficient but that doesn't matter now at this point in the cycle.

I honestly didn't even care that much that I lost and my plan now is prob run weird teams and not God squad for the rest of the year so I also care less

Is it easier to not care when you're running theme teams as I've always tried to run God squads and Meta Pitchers

Did anyone previously care about their record then eventually not care? I almost have to be in the right mind to play ranked where as br and events I literally have zero care win or lose. Br or events I'll just quit rather than play shield woods and then ranked ill just deal with it.

Also, next year I think I'd rather just quit rather than play a bunt dancer or excessive pause guy... Shield woods, etc. Should I just quit out of 10 games to start 2025 and sabatoge my record?

@MarioMendoza935_XBL said in How much do you care about your ranked record?:

In my mind, I only care about being above .500. I don't know why, but I do.

Since I'm not a "World Series" level player, I never run a "God-Squad". I load up my team with players to accomplish another series of goals (i.e. Hits with SS, HR's with OF, etc). If I run into a player like you who has an insane record, yes, I'll quit (but NOT in a BR game. I never quit BR games, as I'm always working the program).

That's actually how I do events. I usually load up with a squad to complete a program. It's fun and stress free

I legit get sweaty palmed playing ranked before I even play. It makes no sense. Each year I say I'll make a run at world series but it's not really fun even if I win

I feel like the event is often fun i just wish it was a 9 inning game opposed to 3.

Id prob like playing in a league but I don't think I can join one while I'm working and be available enough

@Chrono_Omega_PSN said in Pitching too powerful or hitting not powered up enough?:

On hall of fame and up it’s a real slog. Really seems like majority of good swings are nerfed to oblivion. Some pitchers are just tough like anyone with outlier, but the hitting isn’t there on good swings.

Honestly every game feels different to me. I lit up Pedro on hof and the glavine next gamw the fastballs were like 105mph
I feel like it's always been that way tho

@Capt-Clutch-2K24_PSN said in So, now what?:

Finished all the programs.
Have every card available.
Have 5M in stubs.

Now what?

I've been running an all left lineup to try to get better left v left

I played a 700 rated or so game and it was a tight game I think 6-6 that went into 10 innings. The opponent was constantly dicking around on the bases, bunt dancing, and he replayed one homerun. I picked him off like 3 times and he still was doing weird stuff on the bases. On two or three occasions he would bunt while stealing 3rd with like hank aaron or some other 99 power hitter. I guess that's a strategy? But the guy didn't suck at hitting so i dont know why he was playing like that

I didn't replay anything, I didn't bunt dance at all...I was just going to let him do whatever. I was down 2 in the 9th and tied it 6-6 then in the 10th i crushed a 3 run walkoff with corbin carroll and he actually let it land

So people play like that at all different levels of ranked and I gotta assume its just to be annoying because they have nothing better to do...like maybe to intentionally get under the opponents skin?

I always block these players through the ps app to hope that I never match up with them again and then I report them for toxic play to also hope that they never match me up with these opponents again but I don't think it does anything...I've never noticed if I play repeat opponents or not

I've been playing franchise for a few weeks and went back into the event because not in the mood to play HOF ranked.

The first guy I played bunted twice, then quit.

2nd guy did a bunt dance the whole game, r2'd the whole game, quick pitched the whole game. Is the intent to just annoy people and klnot even play the game?

East coast it's 7am Monday. I don't understand the motivation, why is this so normal when playing online? Is there something sds can do to make a mode where people just play normal? Does madden, nhl, nba, wwe, etc all have this same stuff?

Id like to play in a league where I'm assuming this isn't an issue but I don't have the availability to do it

The only day I can play a good bit uninterrupted is Monday so the daily cap sucks

I don't care who gets what and how quick

I play the game to progress and if I hit the cap it kills motivation to play entirely. I hate conquest but I do it to finish programs. If you cap my gameplay xp then I just finish the program xp at another time when I can kill two birds with one stone

Go into practice mode, set it to fastballs against randy on hof or legend and then increase the fastball slider speed a bit

I've been playing online rated today on all star. It's easier and quicker to get a game surprisingly compared to the event.

The game plays pretty good, lots of the defense is bad so more singles and doubles. Every single hit isn't a hr.

For the last week of the year in 24 it's probably the most fun mode imo at the moment. If someone starts out bunt dancing then you just quit and it doesn't matter because nothing counts.

It'll prob crash like every year
