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.

@nflman2033 said in Thoughts on New Patch; XP grinding:

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

I’ve done it once in an event game. I think it was with PoM Mondessi

that is correct . It happened last year as well.

@CaptButcher said in Examples of Vasgersian, Plesac & DeRosa not making any sense:

When a guy is the only guy to stike out through the order they both mention that fact in a similar manner.

I once had him say this in the first inning of a game wherein no one had struck out, or had an at bat, yet

when I got the money I wanted to finish the AL collection (only need Paxton) but my wife wanted a new couch. Guess who won? Oh well, at least I’m still employed and I haven’t looked at my 401K so I can pretend there’s still money there

@CapnBob78 said in Why is CPU so easy?:

The devs don’t put a whole of time and effort into the franchise mode... trust me even the CPU is more challenging in all the DD content.

This. For reference I just realized TA Otoni has a lower ERA for me online than he does vs the CPU on rookie. This is after about 50 starts

A couch. And maybe pay off my car

The other thing to consider for HR derby is that, unlike collections or even VS CPU grinding, you don’t get any other rewards. No cards, no innings towards TA, no stubs etc...I thought it made sense for HR derby to give a little more XP than modes that also offered other benefits

@sean_87_ said in Future stars is a joke:

I don’t like anything that doesn’t accurately represent a player, including future stars and prospects.

Right there with this post. All these prospect and future stars cards are just wishful thinking.

Wishful thinking and wildly inaccurate. Just think, when they first came out in... 17? Bregman was a gold and Moncada was the highest rated one if I remember correctly

I saw the first game Pedro pitches at Fenway as a member of the Redsox. And the day before I was in Boston when the Redsox rallied from down 7-2 to walkoff on a Mo Vaughn Grand Slam. Pretty special 24 hours of baseball

@SENRAB81 said in Team Affinity:

I play 9 inning games and bunt to get out takes 20 min. I try for 3 games a hour With all same players gets 250 innings. While doing that I get the stat mission plus 5 then do the player exchanges 50,000 a couple times plus 10 each time, Plus 50 for the FOTF player. I repeat the 250 innings. AM I DUMB?

I’m pretty sure I played you in the event, or someone doing the same thing. We’re you grinding the cubs last event by chance?
