17, Although I’d say content wise ‘20 could give it a run for its money if they just fixed... well everything I guess. If good/okay got fixed, pitching was more reasonable and fielders could make even simple plays consistently I’m pretty sure this would be my favorite version. also, FWIW 17 was my first year playing DD

Your understanding is correct. Also, BS move by him to not turn off his PS4. Down 6-1 you should give the other guy the W IMO

I actually think it was a little harsh. I realize I’m a homer but the league basically said “no player,coach, or FO representative did anything wrong. But we’re gonna take your second round pick anyway” this after dragging the investigation out for months

I’d like it if the went historic and picked previous months where people felt someone got snubbed. For example I think it was two years ago everyone thought G. Stanton Should’ve had the lightening card but he already had a Diamond so they went with someone else. So in April they could do “April 2017” POTM Giancarlo Stanton.

Not happy about losing double points on MTO. They all but acknowledged that S1 Showdowns are bull [censored]. It was the only [censored] way to get points for teams in the East, those two Showdowns are bitches.

I’m just floored that your post has [censored] censored, but they missed both [censored] and bitches...

I have messaging turned off for this very reason. To try to explain the thought process perhaps this will help. I had a friend once who was in an elite army unit and he told me a story about how his buddies would try to hook up with girls. They would yell from across the sand dunes (it was in Iraq) “hey! Let me [date] you!!” And if the answer was anything other than “okay” the would wave them away and continue the search. Minimal effort and if even 1 out of 1,000 say yes it works. Hope this helps I guess?

@ClownOnCrack said in Hitting in Showdowns has be nerfed:

Showdown has been tough on me. Haven't gotten vouchers on any. Guess I'm SOL now.

I wouldn’t give up on them yet. I don’t know which was the last you tried but stage 2 and second inning are significantly easier than the first versions. Also, I beat the NL one this AM for the first time after failing twice and this was AFTER the patch. It’s a lot of luck, both RNG and what cards you get. If you keep at it the bill will drop in your favor just enough

The only time this really annoys me is when I have a stat mission and some clown quits before the HR counts. I’ve hit 4 HRs with FotF Gallo and I’m still at 0/3 on that stupid mission because of this. I think if your opponent disconnects before a play ends the above punishment, or something like it, should be in play. Also, I think if your opponent quits the game should continue with the CPU taking over for the quiter. This would also eliminate a lot of the beggars. With all that being said, I have no problem with people quoting early in events. To each their own, but I’m the opposite of you. My only goal in events is to get the highest rewards as fast as possible

If I had to guess I’d say they chose content because they have data for hitting and pitching. Whether we agree with them or not they can go back and see how many people got X hits on Y mode and make adjustments. Also, I think everyone can agree that fielders not locking in routine fly balls is bad, no need for a survey there. There is no other way for them to know whether we are enjoying the content other than to ask.

Personally I would hold out for Mike trout. You have close to enough and after getting him completing the rest of the angels and AL west wouldn’t be too daunting

So, to the people who got the email, do you have an MLB THE SHOW credit card? I heard someone say that might be why some people got it and some didn’t. I do not have the credit card and did not get the email and I’m not trying to dig into peoples finances but just figured that would be one explanation

@NWBearcat29 said in SDS Really Doesn't Want Me to Have Shinn-Soo Choo:

Thats rough man. Keep your head up! I've found the later at night I play the stiffer the competition gets. It really put a damper on my win percentage this year when my daughter quit taking mid-afternoon naps. Goodbye opponents with silver XP and rosters with rookie Mantle, hello diamond and ruby XP with Prime Mantle.

This. I get up at 3:00 so I can get some gaming in before the Familly wakes up and it’s scrub central. I’m really bad and I got my 60 wins like 2 weeks ago

1996 FS Brian Rose.

You get more than the inning boss for 120K though. You get to keep Chipper, Roberts and victorino. You also get stubs for locking them in, both from the voucher and the prestige program. Finally, this doesn’t seem to work As well as last year, but you can use the 75 point boost to get the boss while It’s still expensive, sell it, and buy it back when the price drops. You’re not gonna recoup 120K but you’ll make a few stubs

To answer your original question though, I would lock in 120K in cards for a Prime David Ortiz no doubt. Not sure about Mo.

There is not

What do you mean?

There is no way to know when stage 3 starts. I’m in the same boat as you. In the World Series with the cardinals but don’t need the points. The above person is right, it won’t be before late June but other than that we can only guess.

There is not

The next event isn’t “live series 2” it looks like a switch hitter event. I don’t know if they’ll let wins carry over or if they’ll have a “live series 2” later in the year but the fact that this is “live series 1 would lead one to believe there will be a part 2

I think the hitting update made fielding even worse than it was before!!!!

You can't drop this without detail for those of us not on game. What do you mean by this. Is it simply more balls in play leading to more opportunities for fielding blemishes or is the hit type variety returning us to the days of no lock on for IF pop ups?

It could be that the increased opportunities are further highlighting how bad fielding is and how urgently it needs to be fixed!

One of the first at bats I had with the new patch my opponent’s OF got the “oh! And he misses it!” Animation. Not sure who he had in RF or if he just got a bad read, but it had been awhile since I’d seen that happen

Update: it happened to me with Ronald Acuna right fed and I did t think I took a bad route. He was there in time and the ball just clanked off hum

Hopefully this update marks the end of “freeze offs” and being called out when you beat a throw by 5 steps. I also hope there is a major crackdown on RS cheating. Fingers crossed.

Enough with the cheating crapola. You sound like a broken record.

Funny you mention it, I just entered my first freeze off of the year so, no, it didn’t fix it
