I swear when I play the moonshot events the ball is always dead and I end up with low scoring games and no power again bronze pitchers

Then ranked you get like 10 runs against 99 diamonds

I think events are broken this year. I feel like I hit 100% better in ranked games compared to events

said in Weekend classic top 10.:

I'm ranked #3 at the moment and went 5-0 with 22 runs scored and a 145 rating change.

Guy in 1st had a 233 rating change and went 13-4 with 119 runs

I don't even know what the rewards are other than jdom being #1 who i likely won't use anyway

I doubt they're ever going to fix dashboard runs not counting since the game probably ends before it registers the outcome. One of the many reasons I gravitated towards offline play this year and hope for a 9 inning offline mode in 2026.

Hmm now I'm number 2 and that #1 person is gone completely

maybe the next weekend classic will be a "rewind" type thing where 1-6 wins are all choice packs.

I had about 1.3M stubs and use 750k or so to buy satchel paige to try to get a WC win and it worked so I ended up getting jram too.

I would sell [censored] you don't want and just buy jram honestly. Not much to wait for nowadays

For the weekend classic I went 5-0 with

Trout
Polanco (switched out to Reynolds)
Soto
Chipper
Cal
Daniel Murphy
Posada
Seager
Spooky marte

So three lefties. I did super good with Soto and Murphy but seager I'm batting like 115 with and Idk why. Against the cpu I hit a hr almost every at bat.

I only got one randy in my wc run and no John Don and I assume they all did bad against randy.

My Polanco is also hitting like 115 so switch hitters are no sure thing.

I do have mantle and I subbed him in some but he didn't do anhthjng. My Beltran is good but was trying others. I need to try zobrist maybe at 3rd

1. Switch hitter
2. Switch hitter
3. Switch hitter
4. Switch hitter
5. Switch hitter
6. Switch hitter
7. Switch hitter
8. Switch hitter
9. Switch hitter

Bench: all switch hitters

So much fun

I feel like it's not that big a deal.

Circle Changes for me are the best pitch against switch guys. Outside of randy and John Don I won't use anyone without a circle change

Ideally a slow cutter too

Ranked should always be competitive and pay with your best players and no restrictions. Just remember sets and seasons when we couldn't use who we want

With that being said. I would like a 9 inning more casual mode that may allow restrictions, doesn't count towards your record, etc... Something more for fun

@Vipersneak_MLBTS said in Are 99 OVR Cards becoming meaningless at this stage?:

Why would you want the best cards to come out in November?? You guys make no sense. Very few people still playing in November.

Why?

Because I've been playing dd since 2020 and by the time finest comes out every year I don't care cause my team is already maxed. Finest should be fun and exciting and it's simply a lateral move as nothing really makes my team better.

That makes perfect sense to me

I think the power creep should've been slower. Get the big collection 99 here and there that's hard to obtain but like the juiciest of juicy shouldn't come out until finest imo

I think most people still want to feel like they're improving their team

When new finest drops it'll just be a lateral move

@rageincage007_XBL said in Cheaters arent even hiding this weekend classic:

What do you gain from cheating in the long run? Can't make you feel good about yourself. Just never understand it.

What do people gain from bunt dancing an entire game from the very start?

Online play just hasn't been fun this year for a number of reasons

There are so many 99s now and 75% I would never use that when you want to make a lineup change you gotta scroll thru forever.

Even just being able to "favorite" players and put them on a separate list would be nice.

I still use Danny columbe in ranked and he's like a 92 or something

9 inning franchise mode in dd.

Not sure how it works in other games. But I would like to be able to use my dd team against cpu in 9 inning legend or hall of fame games.

I am kind've an online player but I've grown tires of the pausing, bunt dancing, r2 nonsense of online. I prefer 9 inning games to 3 inning games.

Not sure how to give out rewards for this mode equal to others but I would like to use my time in a mode like this. I also wouldn't care if my opponents were randomly upgraded as well opposed to using the live series teams

@ref479ode_PSN said in Team Affinity Finest…please reconsider:

Once you have 99 everything's then there is no point in ta or even finest because you're not really improving your team anymore so why grind

Not everyone plays a god squad every game

Some people like to play with theme teams, or even use their favorite players.
But admittedly those people are few so SDS stopped caring about them.

Even still at this point in the year. I would see alot of Cardinals fans wondering where Stan musial is...

He's here now... So you have him and what's next? Conquests for more premier packs? Ranked? Postseason stuff you can just do moments and get cards for free. Like what's next for a cards fan. A 99 arenado? Okay then what.

Theme teams or not once the 99 every card is 125 everything drops it's kind've like what's the point?

I usually play the game on Monday. And I'm playing now with my God squad doing the two playoff conquests on all star. I'm doing it for no reason other than this is the time that I play the game. I'm just getting packs, there are no new cards to get really.

I'm a fan of the game and this year's game. I got my $60 worth or whatever and then some. I just feel like the game kind've dies before finest every year and once we start getting the juicy juicy cards then there is not improvement anymore. And I guess I okay to keep improving the squad

Once you have 99 everything's then there is no point in ta or even finest because you're not really improving your team anymore so why grind

Once I get my God squad team then I pretty much lose all desire to play

So yeah, I spend all years using cards I don't want to use to earn the players I do want to use but then there is no more path forward so I never use the cards I want lol

I currently use honus at 2nd

I had neon albies there for the longest time. I started out great with him and then got terrible with him. I usually like the higher leg kicks but I fell out of sync with him.

Mantle?

Id rather have him than John Don I guess but I already have a million of

Beltran and trout are locked in for me. Then I kindve rotate griffey, Reynolds, chipper (when not at 3rd), will try the new 99 judge, I was actually real good with Ted Williams but I took him out.

So yeah not worth 750k really to test out mantle altho I have nothing to use my 1.1m on

I did not try one time.

Dq is just not worth my time with no guaranteed reward.

Since byson stott hovers around 50-60k for the past few months that's telling me not a lot of people are utilizing this mode after the first month or two.

Its not a terrible thing but nothing worse than being successful for an hour and having nothing to show for it.

I remember a few months ago I just kept repeating the conquest mlb draft map bc of the reward guarantee

@haZZ3rd0U5stick_PSN said in 9 inning mini season on hof or legend would be cool for extreme:

@ref479ode_PSN gross. Veteran.

People should be able to score like 53 runs on veteran in a 9 inning game

@TheBigPapa55_PSN said in 9 inning mini season on hof or legend would be cool for extreme:

@Jeff7407_PSN
That's not the point. The point is NO ONE wants to play 34 FULL LENGTH 9 INNING GAMES ON LEGEND. I mean that would be a little much, yk

This I can agree with. 9 inning games would be too much.

I disagree... The more ways people can play the better.

I was previously a mostly online guy and this year it's just not fun. No events and no br. Ranked is fine but I gotta be in the right mood because so many opponents are toxic, pausing, bunt dancing, disconnect in hrs, etc. It's just not fun so frequently plus the latency.

After 5 or 6 years im tired of conquest, especially simulating the board or whatever. Mini seasons 3 innjngs I don't really like.

Diamond quest, I don't like getting a random reward at the end that's not guaranteed. Not worth the run for me.

9 inning games on legend against the cpu with cards I've earned is the most fun way for me to play with the current state of the game. The problem is you can do this in play vs cpu and that's it. For the most part you get no rewards attached to that and it's easily the least efficient grind method.

At this stage of the year... I'm kind've over putting a bunch of postseason cards in the lineup to grind stats... Basically doing Topps now stat missions always. I kind've just want to play a 9 inning game, work counts, etc. I think the actual game is most fun in that scenario and I think I improve better that way.

@Talkingben9558_XBL said in 9 inning mini season on hof or legend would be cool for extreme:

Please no SDS ban this man I would quit the game if you do this

Why would you quit the game, just don't do the mini season

Do showdown or conquest or moments or whatever else
