Excitement in the names has gone down the drain in the last 3-4 years. Not what it used to be.

It's sad SDS is more worried about people buying stubs from other websites than they are fixing the numerous issues they created within the game. Maybe, just maybe, if they fixed the gameplay, people might be willing to spend money on stubs the right way.

I feel like i have to quit the game more often these days because the gameplay is just so laughable and unrealistic. Good timing with good placement with a power hitter goes 325ft. SDS is just too worried about profit, they forgot what the game should feel like. I hope someone goes Office Space on their building for Christmas this year. IDGAF.

I personally think SDS or bots are buying/selling items. I've started flipping early in the morning on certain items. Buying/selling the same item 20-50 times within 10 minutes seems wild. Especially the stuff I flip.

Just thought of something about these bots. If you think you're up against a bot to sell a card, why not just try one card and bid so low you can scoop it and flip it for profit? Example - try to sell for 20K when 99% of the cards are over 50K. If the bot is going to follow your lead, it will bid lower, and you just scoop it up...only if you have the stubs to do it.

I'm just now starting to flip...my God this is awful. I thought SDS gameplay was bad...their bot detection is on par with the course. Currently there is a bot on St. Pat's Wade Boggs. 3 cards go up/down on whatever you place. Even an hour later.

@LIONED-33_XBL Bro, you've put in 450 hours of work on DD. I've only been able to put in 117 hours. So, you tell me who has more time on their hands. Not saying you do, but some are worse than others.

@Pergo_MLBTS I had to look at your profile and see the hours you've put in. 274 hours compared to my 117. Seems like you have a lot more free time than I do. It is hard when you don't have the hours to put in.

@Pergo_MLBTS Time is money and griding is time. The people who work full-time, spend time with their kids, help around the house, etc...it leaves some with 2 choices, pay for stubs or don't worry about the card. Not complaining, just hope people understand it's not easy to grind for stubs/cards like it used to.

SDS is trying to force the degenerates into buying more stubs. I wonder how many people have used AI agents to buy/resell cards throughout the day?

They’re not going to do much beyond adding some color and maybe designing a few new cards. They might even increase the RNG so younger kids have a shot at beating more skilled players, keeping them interested and encouraging them to ask their parents to spend money on stubs. Physics will likely get worse, servers will cut off half the games, maybe the low-grade bunting skills will make a comeback, so everyone has a chance for a bunt single.

I don't even think there are actual employees at this place anymore. the game is just beyond God awful. Past years, I'd play 3-4 hours every day. This year, I might play a full game 2-3 times a week. It's just terrible, unrealistic gameplay at this point. I can see why everyone on social media bashes the game. SDS employees - Like Lou Brown once said, "save everyone the time and trouble if we just went out and shot ourselves".

@JenkinMeyer_PSN I finally got in. But maybe it was. I just know i couldn't connect to anything last night, this morning or up until 3PM today. Sucked because that was the time i really had to grind. Now i have to neglect the kids for some stubs.

I couldn't play BR last night because it failed to find a game. Same thing today. Can't play Co-op either. And now ranked search is showing 0-70 and never finds an opponent. I could have finished this today, but SDS is refusing to let people play.

This is 1st time in about 8 years I haven't spent a single penny for stubs. I just don't see the value in it anymore. I've dropped more games this year than ever. The RNG hasn't changed. Always have to keep the weaker opponents close enough to think they might have a chance (myself included when i get too high in the rankings). I would have thought with AI coding, the game would improve, not get worse over the years.

After playing this weekend, I can see why people cheat. No way does the "mechanics/physics" work anymore. I've been playing the events. I don't know how many 100+ EV, 25–30-degree loft ends with a line out in the middle of the outfield. And then I play rank and a guy is hitting bombs with 95 MPH EV. Make it make sense.

@DEF266_PSN You also have to consider the game isn't on xbox gampass this year. less players pulling him too.

@thebeev718_NSW Same. Trying to get into a game is what dragging me down. Hitting and its weird engine physics doesn't help.

Sell...but if it's anything like Trout for the last 5 yrs, he won't dip below 400K.

Where can you find the RNG pack shop? Because I’m curious how someone goes 4-4 on contact:other in 3 innings?
