@SakAttack87_PSN There was no “Server issue” until they put out a broken update on a Sunday. This isn’t a server issue.
Gotcha. Well server issue or no server issue, it's still sad that there is almost a guaranteed pattern year after year where people are not able to even play the game they spent extra money to play early.
Oh you will get booted...especially during the Diamond quest stadium challenge.
That is the worst!!!
A regular Conquest or Mini Seasons game is one thing, but getting disconnected from DQ when you're playing on GOAT and miraculously have a lead with only two outs to go to secure a 100k+ card... you just turn the game off for the day after that.
It sucks for sure, but do you think they really would tank the LS market - the biggest asset of their cash cow mode at launch - before the game is even released to the masses?
There may be a 5-10 pack bundle potentially, but that's not a given either.
Who are some of the new NLB players with fun swings? Biz Mackey was awesome last year.
Hopefully this is enough to issue refunds for anyone who had early access.
They'll never extend mass refunds. You'll maybe get a 10 pack bundle if it continues to be an ongoing issue.
@SakAttack87_PSN you’re wrong, why would they put out a significant update on a Sunday?
There are widespread server issues every year around launch. 100%
I believe one year it was so bad they actually did throw everyone a five or ten pack bundle, but that always isn't the case.
Same issues for me. This is really inconvenient. I hate to jump on this bandwagon, but why are we paying for early access to deal with this? I just want to play
It's an unfortunate occurrence every single year.
Almost as if Early Access is more about being part of a guinea pig test group to give the servers a trial run prior to mass release than it is about getting a headstart in the game.
I really want them to make these more useable, but I actually finished the storylines just before the update anyway. I love listening to these stories!
And if you never listened to Buck O'Neil discuss the NLs do yourself a favor and find some recordings of him. I could listen to that man all day!
I think a simple solution would be to just include a repeatable mission for NLB cards where (x) PXP gives you a voucher for (x) TA points to put towards any team you choose.
@SakAttack87_PSN no, the game breaking server problems usually wait until the official release.
The issues definitely persist through the official launch as more players hop on the game, but having been an Early Access purchaser the last six years I can confirm most of those titles all had server problems before the mass release floodgates open.
So many threads with the same valid "I paid extra to not even be able to play" complaints flooded the boards. It's been an ongoing thing for a while now it's basically a tradition.
Anybody who has played Early Access in recent years shouldn't act surprised. The servers are always very unreliable early on especially opening weekend.
That doesn't make it right or a justifiable excuse, but this is the case every year so not a shocker to hear that there are issues simply staying connected within 48 hours of launch.
If you are someone new to The Show then yeah I can understand the frustration. For the vets though, you had to see this coming. Fool me once...
I think it was 24 where for the first month or so players had completely random no-doubt HR animations. And it wasn't just generic ones. Some had the really goofy taunts that would 100% result in a fastball to the back your next AB.
It was pretty annoying, but I can't imagine the level of frustration for somebody who plays The Show for a more realistic sim experience to watch a guy like Trout or Judge hit a bomb then start spanking the bat like he's riding a pony heading to first base. 
@SakAttack87_PSN Padres didn’t even get a Reggie Sanders card in arguably the best year of his career. What a fail.
I hate the one-and-done guys they rarely get justice.
Losing Henderson is sad. This is one of those cases where I wish SDS could give insight but wont.
Can't confirm myself obviously, but his recent passing is a likely factor. He was probably handling his own business affairs and maybe they were not able to track down the successor to his estate.
Frank Thomas
Rickey Henderson
Todd Helton
Preston Wilson
Jason Kipnis
Jordan Zimmerman
Reggie Sanders
Jim Palmer
Fernando Valenzuela
Eric Davis
Prince Fielder
Robb Nen
Jason Bay
Joe Nathan
Brandon Webb
Tony Clark
Mike Lowell
Matt Holliday
Ryan Ludwick
Tim Raines
Jerry Hairston Jr
Not too many big names, but Frank and Rickey are huge losses along with some others like Fernando, Prince and even Jim Palmer. Eric Davis is another sad loss. And gotta love getting Tulo for the Rockies, but Helton and Holliday are now gone.
Anyone else you can confirm?
The most demanded guys are either in or have been recently and/or will be back in the coming years. There are exceptions, of course, but there’s not many left that could be “new” except recent retirees like Ichiro that would move the needle.
For every big name not included for various reasons, there’s 5 that are there.
If next year or the one after the Babe goes away, you’ll have newer players btching that they never have true legends like Babe.
That's the issue. Babe being in the game for a decade, going away for 2-3 years, then being hyped up as a NEW LEGEND.
They just said when you collect Tulo there is something else????
New Legend ... the one everyone is waiting for ...
Ken had a pretty good career. Curious to see how that card plays.
I met him at a bar in Baltimore at like 1AM. He was a favorite voice from of my Yankees childhood/adulthood and he couldn't have been a nice guy.
Did I miss a Didi card?
