    Huge Problem: Game ends on a sudden death run scoring in middle of double play
  • sgtsly_PSNS sgtsly_PSN

    @dap1234567890 said in Huge Problem: Game ends on a sudden death run scoring in middle of double play:

    If the first out was at 1st, then the second out would not be a force and therefore if the run scored before the second out would count as a run. Was this the case?

    That is correct, but the way I read it, the ground ball went to the 1B, who threw to 2B for the force, then 2B (or SS) was intending to throw to 1B for the second force. In that case, the run would not count.

    @tonythetiger2k16 said in Question about April Monthly Rewards:

    Once Stage 2 was released, it expired whatever remaining points Stage 1 was offering which you did not complete within all the individual missions. Stage 2 Stays open until you either earn enough points to get to Stage 3 or the April POTM Program ends.
    Geting Dawson & Rizzo now might he impossible if you didnt max out on all the points from Stage 1. The ONLY thing that might save you & make it possible & "if" you have enough stubs. Is by buying every card from 88 OVR & 90 OVR packs that you do not have yet & doing both of the collections in Stage 2. However doing that will kill the last 4 packs earned because those are No Sell cards within those packs & that will make you have 4 repeats you can NOT sell.

    So you have to decide if having Dawson & Rizzo is that important to you or not.

    No disrespect but this is completely wrong. Once you complete Stage 1 with 65 points, as long as you haven't sold the cards you earned, you have everything you need to complete Stage 2 and you DO NOT need to do the optional collection, nor do you need to buy any cards. Buying the cards will help you get there faster as the two missions for PXP for monthly pitchers and monthly hitters will take less time with more players in your lineup. But the program is designed to be achievable by the cards you win.

    As the poster above me stated, complete all the missions and moments in Stage 2 and it will unlock Dawson, complete his mission and it will unlock Rizzo which will unlock Stage 3.

    If you decide to buy the cards to complete the two 15 point missions and individual player missions faster, do not lock in the optional collection. You can rent them and sell them when you're done. If you need help, DM me and I'll try to explain better.

    Yes but the problem is if you complete s1 with less than 65 points.. I’m stuck on stage 2. I progressed to s2 before I completed all the moments in s1 and now I’m stuck at 166 points. I think my only option is to buy 3 of the 4 cards and then do what you suggested (play their pxp missions and then sell the cards back). But point is, they created a mode such that you can make it unable to complete organically by progressing to s2 too soon. Definite oversight.

    As others said, you can't get to stage 2 without getting 65 points.

    If I recall correctly and If you're at 166, my guess is you missed a 3 pointer somewhere (a mission in Stage 2 or one of the 3 point PxP missions from the 85+ Monthly Award players (you should have 3 of them)), that gets you to 169, which I believe gets you Dawson. The final six points come from Dawson's 500 PxP. That puts you at 175 for Rizzo and on to Stage 3.

    Worst case, buy one of the 85+ MA's you don't have, complete the 500 PxP and then sell it, that gets you Dawson.

    Or if Dawson is 170 (can't remember if it's 169 or 170), you missed a 90+ MA mission, you should have two of those players. Those are 4 points that gets you to the 170. Then Dawson gets you to Rizzo.

    Correct, easiest way available is to just filter by the team/series to pull up all the available associated cards, then just fill in your team.

    If you switch a pitcher mid inning you lose that inning

    Wait….what? For the RS innings reward, if in the middle of the 7th I go to my bullpen I don’t get credit for that inning?

    That is my understanding of it or at least what seemed to happen to me, nothing is confirmed so it all speculation on my part. I know when there was pitching state like pitch X innings with this teams player items it would only count if a pitcher pitched a full inning

    This has been an issue for years, it's nothing new. Just avoid subbing pitchers mid-inning.

    While that may work, it would be nice if SDS could just calculate innings properly. You shouldn't have to let a reliever get pounded so you can get credit for playing an inning.

    Oh I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying that's the work-around. Having been an issue this long, I don't see it getting fixed anytime soon.

  • Why did they downgrade Turner and Soto so fast?
  • sgtsly_PSNS sgtsly_PSN

    @codywolfgang_xbl said in Why did they downgrade Turner and Soto so fast?:

    @tonythetiger2k16 said in Why did they downgrade Turner and Soto so fast?:

    Real Life Hitting Success is not only what contributes to a players card going up or down. Fielding has a big play into it & as well other A-Stats such as with WAR

    Do you even know what they did to their hitting stats after three weeks of play? Soto is like 70/70 against lefties and Turner is like 70/60 against righties. Your comment is literally pointless.

    Took them a whole year of solid play to gain those attributes and they take them away after a few weeks? Soto is off to an OK start and Trea had like 20 rbi in the first month. Give me a FLIPPIN BREAK!

    Not sure what their numbers were before but for Soto, the drop against lefties makes sense. Soto is a career .279/.378/.486 vs. lefties ... this year ... .170/.291/.255. Massive drop.

    Turner, career .295/.350/.484 vs. righties, this year hitting .253/.337/.373 vs. righties. A bit of a dip in average and pretty major drop in slugging. Turners Avg/OBP/SLG are all significantly down this year compared to the last three. A drop in his numbers makes sense.


  • 'X' amount of stats before 6 outs
  • sgtsly_PSNS sgtsly_PSN

    I've found it does that if you ground into a double play as the, what would be, 5th and 6th outs. You then pitch and then it adds in that last "out" and it's over. Just restart before pitching with "one out".


  • Moment Fun w/Joe Carter
  • sgtsly_PSNS sgtsly_PSN

    This is why I will generally do a moment 4-5 times, then move on and come back later. I feel like if I don't complete it the first few tries, then I'm just getting frustrated and swinging at everything, which makes it worse. Can't count how many times I've moved on, come back to it later and completed it after one or two tries.


  • Player program missions
  • sgtsly_PSNS sgtsly_PSN

    Online missions within programs are optional. I've not played a single online game this year. Every Player Program can be completed offline (I've done all but the recent ones, and that's cause I've cut back my playing time), every POTM Program can be completed offline (I've done both), every Inning Program can be completed offline (I've done 1st and 2nd, not yet completed 3rd), every Team Affinity Program can be completed offline (I've 100%'d both TA1 and TA2 for both divisions).


  • Best Catcher that’s not a CAP?
  • sgtsly_PSNS sgtsly_PSN

    I am an offline player, but I've hit fairly well with TA2 Bench. Couldn't hit with Huff. LS Realmuto hit really well for me also.

    Has there ever been precedent to change a players position mid-season??

    If anyone's got MLB 20 booted up, check to see what Vlad Jr. was last year? If I recall, he was a 3B, which prior to last season was his primary position and he never played 3B last year ... just curious.

    Yes, if they are for the most part playing one position, SDS usually will go out and change it

    Well, just checked the MLB20 Marketplace and sure enough, Vlad is 3B. So maybe "usually", but clearly they didn't last year with Vlad, even though he played exactly 0 games at 3B.

    Ketel Marte, last season 41 GP at 2B, 3 GP at CF ... is a CF in MLB20. Was not fixed mid-season.

  • Why are there extra FAs that don't belong to any collection?
  • sgtsly_PSNS sgtsly_PSN

    @x814xmafia_psn said in Why are there extra FAs that don't belong to any collection?:

    @sgtsly_psn said in Why are there extra FAs that don't belong to any collection?:

    There are regularly FA's added throughout the season as rosters change, so the number changes, whereas teams are static at 40. Because of this, they likely cap the FA Collection at 200 (or whatever it is), regardless of how many are in the pool. You can lock in any of those for the FA Collection, doesn't matter what their OVR is.

    Negative Ghost Rider. Any 55 OVR or under will not add to the FA collection. That's why I asked about them I saw that I needed 40 more for 200 so I just went in and paged all the way to the end and bought 40 singles.

    They were all under 55 OVR and after I bought them I still needed 40 more.

    Not a big deal as it was only 200 stubs. But still.....

    Interesting, never realized that. I always just auto-locked them in, so never really paid attention to which ones locked and didn't ... always assumed any FA's counted. Weird.

    @t00muchham_xbl said in TA S2 Hitting ...:

    @sgtsly_psn said in TA S2 Hitting ...:

    Some yes, but I also think it's because I'm pushing myself more trying to get those XBH's or HR's that are needed for the TA points. I've hit fairly poorly with MOST of the TA2 players, once I'm done with the missions, I may put them back in and see how I hit when I relax a little.

    I crushed with Thome and the Mets SS.

    Thome I'm doing well with. Mets SS (Mauricio, I think), man, took me FOREVER to get the XBH's with him.

  • Live Series Players
  • sgtsly_PSNS sgtsly_PSN

    I only play offline, but I still have Chapman as my main lefty out of the bullpen, and while he's not in now, Realmuto has been great for me (though I'm liking the TA2 Bench card).


  • Plate Appearances vs Innings
  • sgtsly_PSNS sgtsly_PSN

    Here's one other benefit of the PA vs. Innings ... if you play a conquest game and lose in the bottom of the inning, you still get credited for the PA's from top of the inning, whereas you DON'T get credited for innings if you lose in the bottom of the inning.

    The other thing is that they had to change the stat for TA2, otherwise you're getting double-credit for TA1 and TA2. Two different programs = two different stats. I'm going out on a limb and saying TA3 will have a third stat to accumulate for credits.
