Just curious if anyone else has noticed the BS double standard from SDS regarding player collections. When players go on the IL they are usually put in the free agents pool. However both Acuna and Tatis have been on the IL for large periods of time this year and never went to the Free Agent pool. Tatis is still on the IL! They have obviously done this so that people can't complete collections as easily. Just curious if anyone else has picked up on this blatant double standard?

I think it's a great idea but not for online play! In other baseball games (a long time ago when there used to be other games), I used to make complete teams with players that I played with in summer or winter ball. It would be really fun for something like a franchise or mini seasons as well, but I agree with most of the community that this should not be an ONLINE play feature.

Yes SDS really need to give some love to the CAPs. My CAP keeps disappearing from my DD lineup every time I leave DD. I put in a bug report but never heard back!

It would be great if on top of fixing these bugs, they added better card art for the CAPS that would display overall stats with Perks and Equipment. Even better, it would be great if they had a 3-tier color system for stats that showed base, perks and equipment all in the same image!

I feel like I get a healthy amount of diamond pulls every game, it's just that they're always low diamonds

I would settle for a low diamond for sure! I would actually settle for a 84 gold that has a chance of going diamond. Highest pull in the last 150 packs has been an 82!!!

BS pack odds, Super CPU fielding and commentary!

Just tried another 50 pack bundle. Chase pack a gold again! That is 7 in a row now! Bundle gave me 2 diamonds, both icons! Absolute BS!!!

I know the fan boys will jump all over this but speaking to lots of mates who play the show everyone has the same observation. Pack pulls are way worse than last year so there is no way that pack odds can be the same! I love the game and think it's great, but this seems to be an observation I see voiced quite a lot.

Last 5 "Chase Packs" all gold! Over 25 Ballin packs not one diamond! Not even a gold from the many headliners! And have opened hundreds if not thousands of packs!

Haha, just opened a 50 pack bundle now! Chase = gold 80 of course!, Bundle = 50 golds highest an 82. Absolute garbage!

I'm sure your aware of this; but the odds don't mean that one in every 50 packs you buy/earn will contain a Diamond. It means that you have a 1 of 50 chance to pull a Diamond out of that particular pack.

Yes completely aware. Just still seems like it's much worse than last year. Again, this is something that I have seen voiced quite a bit through my personal community of mates that play the game.

All I can say is it has only been roughly 3 weeks, give or take depending if preordered or not. So you are probably comparing to years past complete results not just 3 weeks. Anyone can have bad pack luck for 3 weeks. And then turn around and still have a great year.

Yes fair enough. Just a bit of a rant I guess. I hope my luck changes but I am very reluctant to open any more packs that's for sure. However, I was not comparing to the whole year, as I had collections finished in about 1 month's time last year and that was all with no money spent. I am not even close so far this year!

So far I have opened way more packs than the same time last year and it's been worse. Hopefully my luck changes but I'm not holding my breadth.

Yes I don't buy packs with real money, just what I earn in game, but it's been really bad this year. Feels like a lot of grinding for nothing.

It seems to me like my CAP's hitting is intentionally morphed! He has really good stats 100 contact 100 power yet everything he hits seems dead! Not sure if SDS did this on purpose but it sure seems like it! I have been smashing balls with silver players that have crappy stats yet my CAP can't seem to make good contact!

And still nothing about fixing the warped CPU super fielding!

They can't explain it so they say that the PCI is not the bat head. It is just a magical circle that floats around the screen with no purpose.

Just some things that need to be fixed/adjusted asap for offline play.

CPU FIELDING

• Too many successful diving, jumping, crashing into wall plays from average fielders!!! Even Trout doesn't make these kind of plays with this kind of success.

• Arm accuracy and strength need to be toned down for CPU fielders, make the stats matter. For example after infielders make an error and try to quickly make a catch up throw from a standing still position, they throw just as hard as if they have their bodyweight behind the throw. Based on real life physics, this is physically impossible to do! Additionally, when CPU fielders throw behind the runner even with their backs turned to the base they are throwing to, the throw is 99% right on the dime! That is just ridiculous,

PLAYER FIELDING

• Locking players into animations too early. This doesn't happen too ofter but when it does, it's annoying. Had a soft line drive hit right to my SS. All he had to do was lift his glove above his head, however I was unable to move the player at all as he went straight into a jumping animation and the ball went straight trough his chest!

Who needs to make the errors? Is it the player or the CPU? Or is it 3 errors in total regardless of which team makes them?

So far this year I am extremely happy with the gameplay changes, however there is still the issue of the "superman" fielders.

I have never seen a MLB player run full speed and jump into the wall without crashing into it! The CPU fielders just seem to either bounce off if it or somehow defy the laws of physics and stop on a dime an inch from the wall!

Additionally, getting sick of lower tier cards consistently making superman plays. Happens to me at least once a game. I am curious as to how the fielding stats matter at all? Some of these plays are just stupid ridiculous and only the top 10% of defensive guns should be making these plays on any kind of consistent basis!

Other than that, I think this is a big gameplay improvement on last year.

I definitely agree about the Commentary!

Isn't game testing part of the video game release workflow? I've had losses instead of wins in both Mini Seasons and Conquest now!!!

Anyone else having conquest issues. Just played the Angels in the "Mystery Map" Conquest and won 5-0. When I got back in the Conquest map, the Angels were still on the map and the win didn't count!

Yes same here! I won 3-2 and it gave me the loss!
