But you also pulled Ohtani like 3-4x and judge at least once so you can’t leave that part out. That makes a massive difference when most of us haven’t pulled either one of them even once.

Bottom line is that it takes extreme pack luck, extreme flipping, or being elite at the game to keep up with most of the collections. If you don’t fall into one or more of those categories you are SOL.

This is a complete false statement. This year I pulled Judge once about a week in and never pulled ohtani. I have all the legends collections done, live series done, and am now working on just boosting the cards inside those collections for the most likely final legends collection this year. I am not ELITE at the game, but I suppose above average and I dont do any flipping. You can complete everything without spending extra money, YOU just have to make wise choices. First DO NOT worry about other collections until live series is done first. Why? Well completing live series boosts your ability to complete the other collections. Next never buy packs, just buy the cards. Open the free packs, sell duplicates and don't go buy the NEW chase card just because if you don't have other stuff done. Finally just learn to grind better and faster. Don't go into conquest, or mini seasons and just demolish cpu teams on rookie to pad you PXP. Go score 3-4 runs and then intentionally get out unless you are completing extra missions for packs. It literally just being smart and not just spending. 1 million stubs right now and you could have judge and ohtani this time of the year.

@Rhyno1986_XBL You're expecting too much. I haven't seen or heard a word from them in two months.

Lol fair enough. Just pre-recorded videos about HR weekend lol

@Sarge1387_PSN said:

@Rhyno1986_XBL That's my point though...they've always thrown over at least once with the extra lead. I'm talking about runner freezing every other time now.

Never had that happen. Like i said though there is no need to take the extra lead. Heck I've seen 50 spd with 40 steal get the base stolen more then half the time this year against certain teams

True mathematical odds or SDS odds?

Odds my guy odds. Listen yes SDS has dropped the complete ball and any fan support these days. But the odds are pretty normal. I've been in dry spells and oppen a 100 standards and got nothing. I've opened 10 standards and got 5 diamonds. The odds are pretty spot on, now if you wanna say well I haven't ever pulled ohtani. Well then that's like saying you've still never pulled 1 single card out of real baseball cards. Not that hard to imagine and in no way makes the odds seem fake.

This has always been the case against the CPU when taking an extra lead. But really there is. NO need to take the extra lead this year anyways since just about any runner with 75spd and 70 steal is almost 80% guaranteed to get the steal

You had to NOT lock in the one you pulled or bought. If you got lucky and pulled him and still planned to earn him then shouldn't have locked him in. For all of sds issues the free one clearly says NO SELL in the program.

No sorry best SDS can do is tell you the game is working as intended, and make sure to be ready to pre-order 27 with lies about fixing the known issues just to find them still there.

Wow guy you need to relax and realize it is an offline mode. It is RTTS, if you are that worried about making sure you have the greatest player of all time then set the game to begginer and just hit HR on noting but slow fastball right down the middle.

@TheGoaler_MLBTS said:

Did anyone check the possible contents before opening?
I was so angry about the one in the CQ map. I thought we were guaranteed one of those high priced CHASE cards. Got a choice between LS Ketel and WBC Bo-gyeong Moon. Yippee!
This one gave me the difficult choice between LS Glasgow and John Don. I just opened without seeing who was teased again.
Fun times!

See these are the posts that just flood this forum instead of making devs aware of actual problems. No instead people complaining about their bad luck on a FREE pack that is at least a diamond. But don't worry about broken pitches, broken hitting that nukes exit velo on good squared, the FACT THAT CHEATING is still obviously prevalent. No gonna complain about a free pack that the odds of getting a 99 diamond out of are 1:120.

Live series 89 and 88
I love being blacklisted by SDS
You clowns are such a joke it’s not even funny anymore

Lol yeah blacklisted because you have bad luck. You really do not understand odds do you?

to then tell people they are basically not allowed to take an endorsement deal from said 3rd party contract also violates some of thier rights shows you are probably mid 20s and mad because you have NO real world life experience.

I'm 62 and I think you are full of it.

They are not stopping Streamers from streaming
They are not stopping them from taking those endorsements.
They just won't be playing MLB The Show while they stream and promote their endorsements.

There are plenty of things to be upset about and aspects of the game to protest against, but I don't see this as one of them.

Your Friend Kyle's promotion of this 3rd Party company got hundreds if not thousands of players banned. SDS are actually protecting large portions of their audience by not allowing them to be duped by streamers who are financially motivated to steer their audience down a path that is against the terms of service.

How are they not stopping them? If they can't promote something they aren't gonna get paid for it. How do you think endorsements work? And agian since all of you must just read 1 point i never said that they shouldn't have been banned for it because I don't care either way about that. But when they have blatantly lied about fixing their game, keep allowing ACTUAL CHEATING to continue, but then suddenly punish people because their profit margin was taking a hit. Yeah it's scummy and just shows how most people on here literally don't think and will just celebrate the smallest thing.

You're right it should be, oh wait sds is to busy NOT fixing the broken shrinkage on just about any pitch now, the broken exit velocity on change ups, oh and ofcourse not banning cheaters. Oh but yes any TOS violation hurting the profit margins will not only be banned for 3 years (not saying they shouldn't be), but now we are even gonna tell streamers (who are basically keeping are game alive) what they can and can't say on a private channel they don't pay for.

Lol wow all you people hating on streamers who were giving endorsement contract instead of calling out the hypocrisy of SDS is just generally showing of your age and misunderstanding of what is happening. Even though legally they can do this it is starting to tread on violation of people's personal civil rights now. Yes it's a private platform, but so is that streamers youtube, twitch, TikTok whatever and to tell them what they can and can't promote is getting very sketchy now.

Are you serious?

Should probably look of changing ToS after already accepting current ToS contract and how it technically is not an enforceable thing since you already agreed to a set contact and to change ToS well into an agreement already can be fought without AMPLE notice and accepting new ToS wording and changes.

We’ve officially reached the “advertising black-market video game currency is a civil right” portion of the discourse. Incredible. Streamers are free to promote TOS-breaking services, and SDS is free to ban them from its game. Freedom of choice isn’t freedom from consequences. Please leave the civil rights movement out of Diamond Dynasty.

Aww look who obviously skimmed a comment then thought they'd do a gotcha. Listen they ABSOLUTELY have the right to get promoted and endorsement for whatever they want. And yes SDS has the right to ban people from using it. But since you obviously don't understand to then tell people they are basically not allowed to take an endorsement deal from said 3rd party contract also violates some of thier rights shows you are probably mid 20s and mad because you have NO real world life experience. All well this company had lied, defamed their product, allowed contuined obvious cheating with proof, and punished people with thier personal blunders. Then simply said sucks to be you guys and still have people going "yeah back this company and don't talk about their hypocrisy" then leads me to believe that you are probably either A) a bot AI reply B) a paid employee or C) simply don't have enough world real life experience to realize when someone is saying look over there just to distract you from what was happening. You know kinda like, look we banned these people for breach of ToS but hey no don't worry about them over there doing something any normal person would say is even worse breach of ToS. All well basically going hey it's not at all because this thing costs us money and the other thing simply make our game a wreck. LOL and finally NO WHERE DID I SAY advertising 3rd party currency is a civil rights, I said telling someone what they can and cannot say on THIER PERSONAL platform is starting to skim the line.

Yeah the shrinkage on legend is ridiculous. Can’t even see my pci. Ive seen on sinkers and changeups low

I wonder if it happens to be that connections aren’t great now with lesser players or something. Because online just doesn’t feel good to me anymore. I just played BR and it just feels way off

From they way I understand it, it is because they hitting/strike zone is just screwed now. The rng will read some sinkers as a change up that's when you have them break wayyyyy crazy and then the super slow change ups are being seen as out of the zone even when they aren't. I was playing my franchise and had shrinkage on a change up down the middle to kill the exit velo.

The circle change shrinkage is not a conspiracy theory. If you don't play enough to see it then that's on you. Again though like all the shrinkage it mostly happens on HoF and Legend and it also happens on Sinkers sometimes. This game is broken and if you think it's just streamers maybe pay attention to their PCI and see for yourself

@BLAISEBLAISE_PSN said:

I report every single one, it will catch up to them eventually

Lol no it won't, cheating and dashboards don't hurt DDS or Sony in the wallet and they've proven that's all that matters

WC is becoming the most bs game mode there is. Allowing players to foul off everything and then get just late HR, while the player who is hitting perfects and good squared just gets lined out every other batter. If they spent the same amount of time actually getting rid of cheating and fixing their game like they do jumping on banning 3rd party stub buying or people abusing THIER in game screw ups this game would actually have an online competitive game players like other sports games.

Something needs to change, either SDS needs to go to Microsoft and ask them to be the company or laws need to be passed to actually make it possible to sue these companies for lies and actively not policing cheaters out of their game.

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

How is this running this time?

Still have higher ranked players playing in the lower tier?

Because they are sand bagging and it doesn't run like it is suppose to.

WC is literally when all the cheaters get back on now. That and most BS RNG game play to just give players runs. Not a single game I played did my opponent either not swing at a single pitch just off the black or swing at every pitch and get 60 fouls by the end.

SDS or Sony who ever is in charge now does not give 2 craps about game play anymore. It's obvious at this point.
