Thought we had one more day, but looks like just the top 10 rewards are there.

Only get the rewards during first 6 games. If you have bad luck or bad conditions (sketchy players) and dont do good your out of luck.

@Rhyno1986_XBL You can go watch the video Kyle put out or keep pretending you did. The cheats will get you all kinds of hits lmao. It’s not all homeruns…SDS doesn’t make a good enough game. They don’t make good enough cheats. It also doesn’t OVERRIDE PAR and just dot the corner all game lol.

Well kiddo I did watch that video probably before you did. But you try and keep defending that there "aren't" a plethora of people cheating this year. And interesting because I never said anything about doting corners. Huh? I talked about them pausing hitting 3-4 HR, pausing then not hitting. But yeah way to make yourself look like the person confused.

I faced king my first game a got a mercy in gold 2. Then faced Shultz every game after. Schultz is glitchy with his wined up but still hittable. Really even face Hader, but lucky my oppent brought him in in the bottom of the 8th down 1 run and I had 2nd 3rd no outs so both the weak contact high and away fast balls scored runs.

I was up 7-1 in the 2nd inning and my ps5 crashed the game and counted it as a loss. What can I do here? I would have been 3-1 and now I am 2-2

Unfortunately nothing, just like I was winning my game 3 7-1 and my kids accidentally unplugged our internet lol. Hopefully they'll keep doing the WC rewind packs next WC.

Cheaters are an issue, so are man babies who cry 'cheater' whenever they lose.

It's actually becoming the most toxic element of the game seeing so many decry cheating when, in fact, they either just lost to someone better or the RNG went against them.

The game would be so much better if we all just treated it like a game.

I don't killer, but when they pause and hit HR then pause and can't it's pretty much obvious. And I'm 100% convinced that ALL the people on these forums these days saying there aren't cheaters are probably cheating themselves since they could get past sprong training without it.

@Rhyno1986_XBL because your perfect were outs means nothing, it happens. I'm watching the jays game right now and vladdy just hit a 110mph liner to first for an out. Also with the cheating program that has been exposed it will not swing at any pitches out of the strike zone. So unless someone has another cheating program that swings at pitches out if the strike zone (why would they want that?) Then I think maybe you just lost this game and decided to blame it on cheaters.

I've faced cheaters and they will not swing at any pitches outside the zone but every single pitch in the zone will be perfect, every one. Also their pitching is all perfects.

Lol it gets you tons of hits that aren’t homeruns and tons that aren’t perfect. You are another person that decided you know everything about all the cheats when you don’t. I hate to break it to you, but there multiple cheating programs out there. That’s kinda how it works, they compete with each other to make better cheats so people buy those and not the others.

But yeah, Vlad just hit a line drive for an out and stuff so who cares ThAtS BaSeBalL SqUirT

No actually when my oppents hit 3 hr either very early or late and then pause. Can't hot water out of a boat with a car. Then i get some hits score a run or 2 then, then they pause to start the next inning and proceed to once again hit nothing but HR, then pause again and can't hit. Yeah go somewhere else and try your bs. You are probably one of the people running the scripts. Oh and that's baseball, no actually this is a video game ran by code not actual physics so try your non sense somewhere with someone who hasn't been playing the show DD since 17.

Listen this is a huge problem and we ALL know it. I just lost to 2 obvious cheaters in WC. My perfect swings were outs and these player who I reported to you and xbox were getting HR on pitches not near the strike zone and ever swing was a HR. This constituents blatant violation of YOUR terms and you aren't don't seem to be doing anything about it. Combine that with the monetary value of the packs i lost out on this is theft.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN said:

The thing i don't like about it is that you can no longer work the pitch count. You almost HAVE to swing at anything close to the zone.

I used to be able to work the count, online and offline, to about 15-20 pitches per inning.

Now I'm lucky to get 10-12 per inning.

Plus, now you can almost throw everything in the dirt and you'll get bailed out more often than not.

I agree with the fact that you cannot really work the count anymore. People are saying that the only thing that changed was that the size of the actual strike zone has gotten smaller, but everything else is the same. If this is true, why not allow the player to choose which style strike zone they want to use?
In the MLB umpires are not calling every pitch that is a strike an actual strike. Yes, I am aware of the challenges, but teams can only get it wrong twice. So players shouldn’t challenge a first strike, or certain situations. Anyway, my last point was if this is to make it more “realistic,” not every strike is called a strike in the MLB.

The fact that people can't watch 50/50 balls get called balls more often then a strike and work the pitch count from 0-2 back to 3-2 then foul off 7 pitches then walk. Is EXACTLY why the zone visual change was a good thing. It's 1 thing when the count is 0-2 and a pitcher wastes 2 pitches trying to get a chase and another when they literally should have struck the batter put looking.

@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS said:

@Rhyno1986_XBL they will not give you a hit on a high inside sinker that barely clips the side of the top of the zone. Anything that barely clips the zone is most likely an out. It’s mainly anything inside.

Really took 2 different opoents deep during the even this morning while they where using King. 1 with trout and the other with Happ. So idk my guy maybe I just got lucky.

I am not surprised about the pack and such you guys have shown your colors but what i am annoyed about is this.

Last year we had a chance to earn the spotlight packs from each week prior in the Lightning Program but this year you moved it to a ONLINE thing. You say you do not want to force offline players into online play and then do something like this. Your actions do not match the message you send out to the fans and that is wrong and whoever made this decision. -- SHAME ON YOU

This!

I have EVERY one of the Spotlight cards; except for what was released today.

After I complete the program; I will still need 8 of them to complete the collection.

At 20k each; thats 160K to get Elly.

Yeah, thanks for nothing!

You get elly free.

@Salluch_PSN said:

I got robbed of a wheel spin after dashboarding and restarting the game cuz of the glitch with the wheel. After I loaded into the game again, the wheel spin did not appear for me basically robbing me of a wheel spin. Anyone else have this issue as well?

No it didn't. Whatever your reward would have been is in your pack inventory. It's happened to me a few time.

@Rhyno1986_XBL I’m in the same boat as u minus the wife and 2 sons I have a girlfriend I plan to make my wife and a life off this game (believe it or not) up Until last December was working 60 hours a week these no life’s rly make me mad. I’m playing a lot more then I’d like rn but I will never be a lowlife cheater I’ve made 930 rank legit can’t imagine letting a cpu play for u…

My highest was 899 last year, but yeah exactly I've played since 18 and worked at being able to make the 800's thats why I just laugh even when playing a cheater. It's like seriously? With some practice and basically just playing vs CPU in DD against the computer you can basically get use to HoF pretty easily.

I love reading these forums. Because everyone knows most of you are just plain lieing. I've played this game online in DD since 18 and have never gone 2 weeks without pulling a single diamond. You have a better chance at pulling back to back ohtani then opening 300+ packs and not getting a single diamond

@Rhyno1986_XBL ranked it’s so they can get there monthly 250k stub payout this weekend and a nice 6-0 immortal icon

Yeah but they are still cheating lol. Know I've ran into a few both in 1v1 and 2v2 ranked. What with the pause then 3 perfects then can't hit water out of a boat. Then I score and am up by 2, then a pause and 4 perfects lol. I just laugh because it's costing them around $800 to let a program prove they suck lol. Yeah sure it hurts my "online" rating, but I have a wife and 2 sons. I play this game because I'm decent at it 820 rating usually and even with the [censored] and glitches I do enjoy most the game modes. People who have to cheat at a video game while not even gaining any monetary pay back is just freaking foolish. It'd be like paying someone to drive a car you own but you can't drive lol.

Im done giving sds money. Ive never minded buying stubs here and there, but now with the knowledge of what this cheat can do and how common it is. I will not be buying anythign until this is fixed. The yourfriendkyle video and all the comments of people talking about buying the cheat so it will run miniseasons for them while they work and sleep pissed me off. Real losers in this world.

And its a shame that we have to get information on the matter from independent youtubers instead of sds themselves.

Yea because I have ran mini seasons legit at least probably 50 times if not more. How many packs are these people stealing from legit people? Easily in the thousands.

Lol that's not how packs work. It's RNG based, so every pack has a 1:50 chance. It's not like SDS knows pack 254345761 has a Ohtani pull and that pack has to be earned on April 22nd from a mini season pack at 5:50pm mnt time. Lol

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN said:

Was thinking of playing the Event to try and see if I can pull Jensen and Alcantara from their respective packs.

But with the odds; one can assume I'll get one of the TN cards.

So with that, and the prospect if people still using those cheats, can I assume it would ve more "cost effective" jusy buying them outright?

No it wouldn't be. Free chance versus wasting stubs yoi don't have to. Even if you run into a cheat, you only need to win 5 games. Plus most the cheating is going on in BR and Ranked. BR so they can go 10-0 with no skill and ranked to make themselves feel good about not being good lol.

So first off RTTS should basically be nothing but fun. If yoi are getting angry over a non competitive game mode, then you need to relax some. Next RTTS is programmed to give THE PLAYER as many chances at points as possible. Thats why there’s crazy come backs and so many assist chances. Just enjoy an offline non competitive mode and chill.

@xxWarxxMachine_PSN said:

I've played every day, every weekend, had both bosses for the boost and I'm still 140k xp away from 500k. This is ridiculous. Casual gamers and people who hold full time jobs can't even finish the inning programs anymore. All it has done is make me not even want to play anymore. It seems like an impossible task and a lot of time wasted for nothing. What has this game come to?

Sounds like it has to do with how you're playing. Maybe mix up your team so you can double dip into TA and TA#1 fan stuff. I've played way less 2nd inning and have had the path complete for a week before this double xp weekend that I have to work during.

@MarioMendoza935_XBL said:

For LS, I still need the usual suspects (Yankees, Guardians, Tigers, Royals, Mets, Dodgers, Diamondbacks). I did pick up Soto, Lindor and Ketel yesterday when prices dropped, but haven't locked them in.

I'm a few vouchers away from 95 Miggy, and miles away from 99.

I'm way behind compared to prior years. I might just focus on other collections and give up on LS unless I pull a Judge or Ohtani.

Where are you guys at at this point in the cycle?

Just picked up Ohtani on the market while he was below 700k, so all NL teams complete. Just missing Jram, Skubal, and Bobby. Literally should have them by the end of the week with a little luck. Plus a few golds I've been hold for Friday.

@Aron1740_MLBTS said:

Most teams in ranked just spam the same switch hitters. SDS should implement a 3/4 max switch hitter roster construction so it's more balanced with cards and not exploiting opposite handed hitting every batter. This will improve hitter and pitcher strategy. It's gotten so bad.

While on 1 hand yes it is tiresome to see 80% of the players only using switch hitters, but its not like there is an MLB rule against having all switch hitters. Next problem is though is that 1 of the reasons most people use all switch hitters is to negate the PCI shrinkage issue that has been lied about, then claimed they fixed and lied about, then doubled down on by trying to say why it's needed. Personally I don't use all switch hitters because some players I don't have an issue with same handed hitting (trout, Harper, trea, justice), but I also probably have 4 in my lineup up. I feel like the new visual zone has helped some with this though because now alot of less skilled players who just guessed and would get to walk on balls that should've been strikes are having to defend or get struck out. Also I've noticed that really alot of switch hitters minus a few are high contact but less power so far this year.
