I did some MLB The Show survey near the end of last year where I suggested that R2 take 30 seconds (or 15, or 10) off the pause timer. I thought that might stop the potential abuse of that button.

@Sarge1387 If I did, then I lucked out. I think the packs came to me on Sunday.

MLB The Show invited me to do a couple of surveys about the story lines. For each I got a Thank You pack which were delivered the other day. First pack was your basic stuff. Second pack, a diamond player card. Live series Ohtani!

I was at the point of only needing Ohtani, Betts and Acuna to finish of the NL. I have the AL done because I pulled Trout about 2 weeks ago.

So I say thank you to the Thank You packs!

As for the surveys the only thing I complained about was how hard the defensive moments are for me. They take me many, many, many retries.

@Shauwn The game code knows it is a home run already. It started the announcer's home run call. So if the game code knows it is a home run why can't it update your stats properly?

I had that happen in a Battle Royale game. I thought the game froze so I waited a bit, then it unfroze. Finished off the game (it went 6 innings) then I got that error. I never earned any progress for that game and I cannot find it in my game history.

I didn't want to complain about the 6s and 8s because I thought it was my eyesight being not so good. Is it ok to be happy that it isn't just me?

@AfterShockGamer_XBL said in Online Pause Timer survey:

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 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.

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!

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 am one of those terrible players and I appreciate getting a hit/run scored/win once in a while. I hope there are many of us happy about it.

@mames29_XBL said in Got my first Chase pack and got Mickey Mantle:

I also just pulled him, don’t know if I want to sell or keep him . Within 2 season I won’t be able to use him in my lineup.

Great luck getting Mantle!! I ended up keeping him, even though I am not using him yet as I am going through the Team Affinities and did the AL East already. Eventually I will unleash him on the world!
