Sds I love how broken your gane is. I get 4 perfect outs but my oppent has 3 very lates 2 very earlies for hits. Just admit your game is broken and you don't know what you're doing lol.

Are any of you focusing on this? I've been using an all AS/HRD/Draft squad since the All Star program came out. I only have pxp's left, and I'm at about 220k of the 250k needed. Quite a slog, but these are the types of long-term programs I don't mind.

Any of you acquired him yet?

Yep got him a couple days ago, the all star event was great way to just earn tons of XP towards him, as well as just rerunning the all-star mini season

Dustin and Singleton are pretty useful cards. The problem is - we need another mode that gives us reason to use all these cards. They can't just keep giving you awesome rewards - you have nowhere to use them! (or else they're just as good as the cards you already have, so who cares?).

If I were required to play some games with a Pirates theme team, then I'd be delighted to have a lot of these rewards - would have a place to use them.

Well technically you are forced to run certain cards in event games, but again you wanna run a pirates theme team due it. I would agree that due to the fact they have quietly fazed out captian boosts that it isn't as fun, but i still due sometimes.

@Teak2112_MLBTS said:

Guys like Mike Schmidt are out of the game because the people that matter to SDS don't give a rat's [censored] about how good the player actually was. Willi Castro > Willie Mays to that crowd

Hey you do realize you can build your team however you want right? You DON'T have to just run switch hitters. I currently only have 2-3 in my line up and 1 on the bench. I do just fine righty/righty or lefty/lefty. No one is forcing you not use who you want and I would argue due to the MODS system this year it's even easier to.

@ShadowJake77_XBL said:

I remember when inning bosses use to be the elite, cards you just had to have. Players that truly stand out....they so have gone away from that format this year. By not it should be well established players who automatically earn a spot on your team. Seems like this game is on its peak decline which I hate. By sixth inning it should be atleast the elite players. You went from trout and othani to Dustin and singleton. If that isn't throwing in the towel I don't know what is

WTH are yu smoking? Are you seriously trying to say neither of the 2 XP season 5 cards are good and that neither of the new season 6 cards are? Yeah kinda sound like you have NO idea what you are talking about. Sound like those people who complain and say LS should be way easy to complete because those rewards won't be good in August lol.

@rubicante23_PSN said:

they practically telegraphed that you'd need him. if you didn't realize it, you weren't paying attention. also, you can skip two collections, so just skip that and the signature where you need Leiter. then you don't really need any Chase cards or judge or shohei. How much easier do they need to make it for you to get the collection? Like, if it gets any easier, then pretty much everyone just gets the card for owning a copy of the game and playing every once in a while - is that how it should be for the biggest reward?

Not exactly correct, you still need either Stanton (185k) or the other previous chase card that is (250k) and then still the prime previous chase card (250k) and and you would still need multiple awards cards with most going around 50-80k if you don't have LS collection then at least 1 100k+ award card. So not technically true at all. But yes it isn't suppose to be completed by 90% of the player base even the 1st week of the collection reward drop.

@GoozeFn_PSN said:

@Rhyno1986_XBL Basically anything you would never see in a real baseball game. Rounding third and scoring from second on a ground ball to an infielder, intentionally getting in a pickle etc.

Lol yeah except you've actually seen that in real baseball. In fact there is a highlight of Javier Baiez getting in a pickle going to FIRST and the runner scoring from second. Just the other day there was a successful delayed steal of home where they intentionally slowed up so the runner going home would score. So guess you don't watch that much baseball huh

@GoozeFn_PSN said:

@Rhyno1986_XBL I don’t have a problem with stealing in general, but people being cheesy on the basepaths will be an auto quit in the event for me.

What do you mean rounding 3rd to advance from 1st to 2nd? That's not cheesy that's good base running. If you mean the guys who are good at running through pickles it's not that hard to not get caught off guard and simply throw it home. And don't fall for their stuff

Stealing isn't cheesing it's a legitimate part of baseball and there are teams that use this strategy all the time. Now I will grant you that SDS shift to ALL catchers having pop time did not work as intended and stealing is fairly easy. However there are ways to deal with excessive speed teams by using HIGH arm strength, accuracy, and high pop time catchers. They will get better timing windows. As well as mixing in step offs and throw behinds instead of just pitch outs. And if you know you are using a catcher with bad fielding like Posada or Cal then just go after the batter.

@parky_8_PSN said:

Sorry guys not trying to beat a dead horse but how the hell are we still dealing with this. Just faced a guy in a quick event game and everything was squared up. I get there's a chance I can run into someone far more skilled than myself but I am admittedly so bad at the game I assume those people will never get matched with me. Bomb after bomb, I eventually gave up. I loved this game for so long and with the market bots and the cheating, they are making it harder and harder to keep playing.

Unfortunately events doesn't work like that. If you look event rating starts at 1400 so basically anyone can match against anyone, just like in BR. I'm not saying this player wasn't cheating becaue we've all by now know there are cheaters. But in events just use it as a learning tool since it's locked at All-star.

@Bridge-Piece_XBL said:

The bots are back, and they’re even dumber than before.

It looked like they were successfully removed for a while, but now they’re back to destroying the market. The behavior doesn’t even make sense anymore. Yesterday I saw someone with 44 Corbin Carroll Live Series cards listed (when cap is 20) and once those orders went through they’d be making 150 stubs under quick sell value. How does that make any sense? Has to be the same bot account because that’s too many orders of the same value.

Whether whoever programmed these bots is just bad at it or intentionally trying to wreck the market, it’s frustrating either way.

I actually prefer the cooldown every five orders. It was a small inconvenience for real players, but if that’s what it takes to slow this nonsense down, I’m all for it.

First off the cap for a card is only for buying them, not if you pull that card. Next just because there are 44 orders at the same price doesn't mean they are all the same person. Finally this is a baseball game and it is really funny how many people will be upset about wanting it to be a stock market simulation, while ignoring game play issues.

@SpawnOfDitka_XBL said:

@Rhyno1986_XBL you did the wbc patch glitch?

I wish I did but I was at work the day I found out about it. But the proof people are mad they didn't is HOW fast and correctly that got patched. While it took a year to fix hader, months to fix King, and let's face it pci shrinkage is still not working correctly.

Just more people simply mad because they couldn't

Utilizing the SP selection is a good way. By this i mean the CPU will use thier #5 SP if you select your #5. So obviously if you are picking your #1 SP and then struggling against Joe Ryan every time, then start utilizing your other SP so you can go against an easier pitcher

@Rhyno1986_XBL

Are you stupid??? I’ve played on legend with 80% chance to get reward and get nothing. If I were to play on rookie I had like 50% chance. So I’m forced to play on higher difficulty and even when I win I don’t get reward. That’s a horrible model to base a game where you can complete all missions all goals and then end up getting nothing. You spend pretty much a hour depending on which quest. That has to be the worst model to sell to people. I understand risk reward but why the hell is that even in a game like this?? That takes all the fun out of playing. Some people have jobs and families and don’t get to sit on a game for 8+ hours. And the facts are all these people in this forum that have played on higher difficulty and got nothing. What are you even talking about

Huh I'm stupid yet you played for an hour to only have 80% on legend. Interesting so you failed at least 2 challenges olayed the whole map. Sounds like a you problem. Since i can run to the stadium pass the 5-6 challenges along the way, beat the sweeper and have a 65-70% chance in 10 minute, and usually walk away win 1 or both top rewards. Huh yeah deffinetly a you problem since in and hour I can do this 4-5 times. So seems like YOU don't know what you are talking about.

@Rhyno1986_XBL

my point is it forces you to play in a higher difficulty which is fine but if I’m playing in a higher difficulty then I should receive the reward. If I told you to go work for 1 hour and in the end I said you have a 70-80% chance to get paid if you worked really really hard would you do it?

The only show down that forced a higher difficulty was the Gegrom one. I'm sorry but veteran is NOT a higher difficulty. I would even that All-star is basically the base DD difficulty since events, BR, and anything above division series is All-star. And if you're talking about DQ with your second statement. The harder you "work" the better your odds. This isn't a job this is a game. You aren't guaranteed to make WS and get the best rewards, you aren't guaranteed to finish programs, lol so your argument are without any actual facts.

@Nickc22_MLBTS said:

I’m all for dragging this game in the mud it’s deserved but even I think you sound entitled. Take a game mode out because you suck is the most Gen Z response ever. Get rid of diamond quest that mode is a joke. How do you justify spending over an hour on a mode to get a silver card playing on HOF!!! If I wanted to play dungeons and dragons I would have bought that!!! If I beat the mode I should get the reward not have a 70-80% chance of HOF or better and get nothing meaningful.

What are you talking about, you can run through any of the DQ maps in about 30 minutes and then play on ANY difficulty. Yes your chances are less but it's pretty easy.

@WackyGrass_PSN said:

By far the worst mode online or offline in The Show is Showdown. It caters to a very select few players who are able to beat it the rest of us can't. The amount of Runs needed vs Outs allowed is so disproportionate its insane. Now you've locked an entire Program behind being able to beat that Showdown and thats just unacceptable as me and plenty of other players will now be unable to complete that Program. This is the worst Show game ever made and the Devs have absolutely no clue because you cater to small fraction of players vs the majority. FIX YOUR GAME PLEASE, take Showdown away or make it actually beatable.

Lol it's on veteran there kiddo, with a pitcher who throws 89 lol. It is pretty easy actually

Yes SDS did a good job with this drop, but in all honesty it's probably NOT because of players criticizing. It's mostly probably due to a 40% player drop due to CF coming out. Again though the content was good and actually fixing things that should've been fixed day 1, as well as finally trying to remove shrinkage after lieing about it
