Kaiju Takeover is a very misleading name, to me. I thought there would be Kaiju something in every pack. As it turns out there is Kaiju something in very few packs. That is not a takeover in my mind. It should be called Minor League Uniform Takeover.

I find in Ranked that I win roughly 40 - 50% of my games. In Events it is 20 - 33%. Seems almost everyone I play is a guru at hitting and usually pitching as well.
I do Events after I have all Conquests, Ranked and Battle Royale done, and only if it helps me in the latest programs. I usually try to get to 5 wins, if possible.
I wish good luck for all of you that you match up with me in Events. I'm just trying to get PXP for the latest program.
This was bugging me before but now my progression (that shows after a game) shows mostly team affinity 1 which I have complete. I want to see my active team affinity 2 progression on that screen instead of ones I have completed.
I did send this in to customer support.

How about just don't messages people unless it is GG...
Oh so don’t use a feature given to us by Playstation? If you don’t want people to message you, simply turn messages off.
I use it all the time! For GG messages like a nice person.
I like getting that kind of message! This year hasn't been good for that kind of thing. I kind of wish there were some preprogrammed messages to send during a game, like "great play", or the one I would use the most, "you are way better than me".
I would like a way during the game to send a "good pitch/catch/hit" "great game" "That was fun" type message.
Wow! Every time I check if PS5s are available there are none. How am I supposed to buy one? Luckily some people's parents bought them one.
I didn't play at a fast pace. A game or 2 a day. Funny, I never faced perfect game Randy at all in my 250+ innings in Ranked.
I get to use him in the new Conquest but probably not at all when I tackle Battle Royale next. (I am not selling him.)
Hope there is a new Ranked Seasons soon (December 12th or 14th maybe?) so I can use my best team.
I got to about a 668 ranking somehow. Very unusual. Then I started playing people much better than me and dropped me down into the 400s.
Last game was a bunter. Just befuddled me until I got my defenses right for each of his players, and even then he was still better than me. I enjoyed the challenge of trying to counter his tactics.
It was in a 15 pack of cards from the TA2 Mini Season championship bundle. Mantle came up and now I am stuck between keeping him (I already finished the AL East TA2) or selling him for big stubs and getting cards to get to 260 in S1. I have about 220 cars there now.
I am leaning to keeping him because it might be months before I can buy him. I think the buy now was around 350,000 this morning.
@nash_524_psn said in My opponent paused the game so he could se me a message that I was "cheesy".:
If you like winning by using zero skill then bunting is for you. Just hold a button, close your eyes, and let the game do the work for you.
I remember when I wasn’t a good hitter. You know how I got better? By swinging the bat.
I am really happy for you. (Really!) I will swing the bat and sometime make contact. Please don't think I bunt all the time. It is a strategic decision. If the game is tied or I am 1 down I might use it.
It's actually a legal play, it's not even against the unwritten rules. If I am up in the game or down by 2 or more I swing away and usually miss.
This event is really fun for me. I can actually hit the ball sometimes! I am a terrible hitter, as some of you who have beat me have kindly sent me personal messages to tell me that I can't hit.
I gave up 5 in the first inning in one event game, got 4 in the bottom of the first. Went on to win 8 - 7. What a feeling it is to hit online. Now I know how all you good players feel.
By the way, no lead is safe in this event.

I wish l got it. Can you tell them to remove the option of me forfeiting if my opponent disconnects their controller!?
Wish I had thought of that. I bet many people suggest it.
There was an option that when the opponent's timer hits zero, the game is forfeit immediately.

I am going to pause my current RS game and take this survey right now.
Well done!

And managed to do it without playing conquest.
Trick for me was the mini seasons on legend really have a huge boost of points and it only took me 23 games including playoffs ( I lost 2 regular season games, not counting the 12 I forfeited once I hit 15 wins). Plus playing at home saves a bunch of time vs conquest.
Beat showdown and all moments except the mind numbing ones I could avoid as well ( Shohei, Elly, Garcia, Morrell, and the perfect game 1)…
I naturally beat some of the missions as I played….I’m sure I will do conquest at some point but very slowly just for hidden packs.
Kudos to SDS, this was the most enjoyable program in awhile for me.
I am just wickedly impressed. What am I at right now? 6 points? Closing in on my first 25000 PXP for another 3 points.
Got to game 4 or 5 of the Billy Wagner moment and the Nationals knocked the stuffing out of the ball to score a run.
This should never happen. Before the run is scored pause the game and close the app. Use this for any multiple game moment.
Oh no!!! You mean I could have avoided that? I guess I'll give it another try now, knowing that. Thanks!! (I may have known this in previous years.)
I picked Bo so I can use him in TA3. Still have AL East and Central, and NL East to finish.

I got an email asking me to do the Online Pause Timer survey. I enjoyed doing it and giving my opinions.
My main opinions were less time on the pause timer, and the R2 button should know off 15 or 30 seconds from your pause timer.
In a moment of weakness this morning I bought a 50 pack, still hoping to get Joe Mauer. (I can afford the 75000 stubs, not the 250000 or whatever it would take to buy him).
Got a live series diamond worth about 3500 in my Chase pack. But, and this is a big but, got live series Mookie along with a live series Buxton and a diamond sponsorship in my 50 packs. I really didn't know Mookie was going for so much. Just trying to sell that card now.

I’m still having anxiety attacks from facing Fernando Valenzuela in last years game. Nobody this year has been anything like that guy.
For me it wasn't anxiety, but great fun trying to hit Fernando. He usually had me totally baffled.
I almost got the Steve Nebraska treatment, if you remember that movie, someone struck me out 24 times to start the game before I managed an infield single. I didn’t strikeout 27 times though. He got a double play then struck me out 1 more time.
Ha ha!! That is amazing! I didn't see that movie but just your description is awesome.
When I am always striking out I go to the contact swing hoping for a bloop single. I still strike out though.
Last year I felt bad for 3 of my opponents who were dominating my batters when I got 9th inning hits to break up their perfect game/no hitter attempts. I swung like always and somehow got hits! If there was an in game way to message my opponent I would have apologized to them.
I’m too stubborn to use contact in a game but I’ll use it in moments. I worked in a movie theater back when I was in college. Brendan Fraser is in it so that’ll tell you the kind of movie it is. Lol. He throws a perfect game for the Yankees and strikes everyone out on 81 pitches. It’s one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen but it was free as a perk of working at the theater.
At least you saw the movie for free. Great story though, 81 pitches!
