What difficulty? I consider myself to be patient at the plate but don't draw walks that often. I play on Veteran.

Veteran as well

Remember when conquest was fun back in 2022/2023? Now I actually kind of hate this mode because all it is now is a time suck.

Playing the Mets on conquest, by the second inning i had 3 walks..... 3, and I swing at everything, I just want to hit.

Program some [censored] strikes SDS, your game is AWFUL.

I won't go as far as awful since now they are making an attempt to fix things. But, yeah conquest is bad. The amount of balls thrown outside the zone is ridiculous especially the first pitch of an at bat. You get to 2 strikes the cpu most of the time won't pitch strike until the count is 3-2 and the usually its a clown just touching the edge strike.

Lol, this is just getting worse. 4 walks against LA and the last at bat i had, ball to the the backstop, ball to the backstop, way up high, and then almost hits me with the 4th.

I might as well just put down the controller and watch at this point.

Ok awful might be a step to far but thats my frustration talking.

@savefarris_psn - is it pretty late in the game cycle to get the shark map? It feels like they just skipped it this year.

See, told you. Late August (August 25th) which is on par with all the previous years. I'm not holding my breath on any great rewards though.

Hey, does anyone know that if someone was banned, either accidentally or on purpose, are they still able to access the marketplace via the Companion App?

I am away from my console for the next two weeks and my PS+ is due to renew in the next few days and if I accidentally got banned (have NEVER bought third party stubs) I want to make sure before I pay for a years worth of PS+.

If it matters; I can still access the Marketplace via the Companion App.

Your fine, if you can still use the app then chances are pretty good that your not banned. I think and I could be wrong but it looks like SDS went after the WBC mini season pack glitch players mostly. Pays not to cheat

Come on market crash!!!!

Won't crash the market because it's No Sell

No but it definitely made cards go down as people may take a duplicate and sell their other version. That is what I did.

McGee and Berkman are below 309k for the first time in a while. I just spent 350 for McGee and 313 for Berkman in the last 4 or 5 days.

Perdomo at 280k, is way better then his price before this which was 500k something

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN -- happy to look into that for you

Thank you for this, best surprise of the year so far

This is huge!

Now this was something I can get on board with. My choice came down to either Beltre or Musial, ended up taking Musial

Bottom line is that it’s a major issue that will and has driven many players away this year, some for good. The only reasons I’m still playing this year are that I love baseball and it’s my thing to relax and unwind with after a busy day. Unfortunately this year has exposed a lot of flaws and SDS has done little to nothing to improve the experience. It’s a bummer and truly shocking how far and how fast this game has fallen.

I agree that it's a major issue, but I disagree with you saying SDS has done little or nothing to improve the experience. Manu is in here every single day removing the bots, trying fixes for it, etc. I really believe that they're doing as much as they can.

Where is your proof of that? All I see is that the market is completely destroyed now, to the point where I don't even care anymore. I've moved on.

The gold equipment cards have completely crashed and are no longer worth even bothering with.

Manu has been in the forum quite often asking people to check it. People have gotten wrongly restricted quite often as they try to control bots.

Lack of success does not equal lack of effort.

I still maintain that it must be a monumental task to try and differentiate a bot from a really efficient flipper. Also, that the people running the bots (I assume 3rd party stubs sellers) are very motivated to circumvent any safeguards SDS implements

Alright fair enough, I do appreciate that SDS is doing all they can in a really terrible situation. I imagine if we are frustrated they must be even more frustrated seeing their game in this state.

My questioning just comes from pure frustration, it's August and once again i'm down below 100k, I don't know if i've ever been that low this far into the game cycle.

Sorry if I sounded negative.

Colorado is only 4 days away from tying Milwaukee's 43-day drought.

The A's are 7 days away (yes, I know my program still says Oak)

The Brewers should get a card for the whole team for their record setting 22-0 blowout of Seattle.

It will probably be a extreme mission, score 20+ runs on Legend.

@mdafurball_MLBTS said:

When do they usually release more all star an prime collection cards etc… is it like once a month or longer. Just wondering how long before it gets little easier to get the carlos collection done since the prices sre stupid right now

It's not going to get easier until November, it may actually get tougher with the new Collection in the middle of September, unless SDS does something about the chase cards.

Well that went well, let this be a lesson of never try packs. The only reason I did is because I have everything except for the 10/15 chase pack cards. Got

Bobby Witt Jr
Pete Crow Jr
And Byron Buxton lol

SDS has released a lot of little things this year and then we have nothing for a week. The big thing missing that would bridge the gap? Say it with me now: Team Affinity!

Joking aside it really does feel like we have a large void in content. And since flipping is restricted on the app and there are over a dozen cards that are hundreds of thousands, it has become extremely hard to collect a lot of the best cards.

I've already moved on to other things, when I do play the show it's to do RTTS, because theres absolutely nothing left to do in DD. I normally start playing that mode in November when there's little happening..... it's August SDS, where is the content.

I too miss Team Affinity

They're lying again. I just checked and quick sell is 8000 for 91s and 7500 for 90s. Down from 9000 and 8000.

Not a real surprise, it's all SDS does now.

I'm missing 9 cards in the NL, 6 of them are on 3 teams, the Mets, (Lieter and Santana) Phillies (Harper and Luzardo) and Cardinals (McGee and Musial)

The other 3 are Broxton, Perdomo and Misiorowsky

@SaveFarris_PSN said:

If you read all the way through today’s notes, you’ll see on Friday we’re getting ANOTHER Cardinals legend in a Chase pack, our good buddy Stan.

I’m so sorry, @dolenz_psn

You have to be EFFING kidding me!!!!!

Seems to be a trend at this point, I guess we can expect to see a 99 Larry Walker post season chase card, and a 99 Scott Rolen at some point.

Well there's Stan Musial, how many Cardinals have gotten chase packs now? 4? 5? I've honestly lost count

Edit

I did not see the other thread, apologies

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN said:

Am I missing something or was it just a mediocre Roster Update and a 5 Moments "Program"?

And of course another Cardinal as a Chase player, this time Stan Musial
