@TheGoaler_PSN but I don't think it matters when you hit the button - the result is already predetermined. Which is silly.

It just seems like MLB could lend a hand and encourage lots of the legends and their families to participate. Wouldn't you want to be represented in a video game if you had the choice? A lot of the younger legends probably play the game.

Hot take - SDS gave up on Team Affinity and the power creep to please casual players who have now left. We should just now be getting the 99s.

The funny part is they promoted and teased Sanchez as if this is someone that anybody wanted. Seems do out of touch.

Anyone who has played Jim Rice or Gary Carter for more than an inning should get a prize mailed to their home. They are the true heroes.

Its not that Gary Sanchez sucks, it's the switch hit meta and 15 other catchers and the power creep make this card useless, just like so many cards coming out now...

Game needs an online and offline Team Building mode. Can't grind on Battle Royale, and Events still feel a bit pointless. Problem is that SDS doesn't want a mode to compete with Ranked - they want all their eggs in the Ranked basket

Everything is inflating now, for some reason. Just yesterday, you could spend 2 hours getting Glaus in diamond quest and make 60k (plus another 25k for Sutton). Thats so many stubs in so little time

@Rhyno1986_XBL or hear me out. Wouldn't it be more fun and interesting if the decision to switch cards and form different teamswere strategic....instead of just "ok, I guess I'll play with this guy for a while to change it up"

So, OP just want everyone to have the "same experience" with packs? Doesn't that totally defeat the point of a trading card game? (the luck factor of getting good pulls).

I just want the odds to be more reasonable.

I love how nobody is just "pretty good" at this game. There's the people putting up 38 runs per game - and the people complaining about being able to get hits on veteran difficulty. No in-between!

If I have 1000 cards, about 15 of them have a Use Value of "Infinity". About 960 of them have a Use Value of "quite nearly zero". There's gotta be a better way to do this.

It shouldn't be like the lottery - it should be like betting the run line at the sports book (a slightly less than half chance to come out ahead).

But, if people keep playing the lottery, I guess SDS has a good reason for making the odds so poor

You could just buy the players directly Instead of the packs, and you'll get a long way.

I don't know why the packs are such a bad gamble - I don't mind gambling if I have like a 45 percent chance of winning, but packs in this game aren't like that so you shouldn't support them

Who are these people complaining about having so much trouble with the TA path? I get if you just bought the game a month or two ago....but otherwise, you should naturally make it super far on TA by just playing a little bit here and there...

Don't understand all these "oh no, I'm only at 4 percent on the path!" people

Why is there no reward between Finest and #1 Fan Badge. Thats some very time consuming work to get those points - and you get nothing but a token badge for it? I don't understand that. Its not like it's a conspiracy or something - it would be a super easy fix. I just don't get it.

@huskerfan051214_XBL I will say, the cpu hits curveballs about as well as real players do.

This game needs to buff the CB and slurve - nerf the cutter and sinker - lets make Uncle Charlie great again.

Even as someone who only plays a couple hours every other day, I always get to the inning XP limit halfway through the inning. Even so, I do think it's good to just grind stub sources (diamond quest) and save XP, cause wheel spins are not exciting. Like, give us a Price is Right wheel - and don't just make it already determined, make it an actual game!

I also play hall of fame difficulty offline in the hopes that I'll suck a little less when I need to play online. But, sadly, the only way to actually be good at online is to just constantly play online (which is yucky to me). Like, my win percentage at 3-inning online events goes from 50 percent to 80 percent if I just play nothing but online for a week. Gotta get used to those outliers just teleporting their way to the plate....it's so sucky...

@Ditka06_MLBTS yeah, I totally get this argument. Playing cpu does completely throw off your online play. Playing online nonstop lets you get primed to handle- the lag and latency, the jank, the cheese, and the meta pitching style that everyone uses.

Its kinda sad, though, if that means you can never play any offline mode. Cause all those online things above kinda suck. A better solution might be fixing lag and having CPUs that actually play like humans....but we don't have that, so I get where you're coming from

The cpu really stinks at hitting, even on hall of fame or legend. They don't swing at early pitches enough, and they don't punish you for throwing the same pitch over and over. Cpu hitting can be dumb too, but it's way less obvious. CPU hitting feels like we are stuck in 2005.

Can't we have some AI make the computer emulate actual human hitters? They should have plenty of data to allow the cpu to act like human players. Maybe have an option for whether you want to face "AI-assisted CPU" or "classic CPU" - I can see some times where people may want the old classic "dumb cpu" experience.
