Hi everyone,
If an SDS employee wants to reach out to me, I can provide details.Let the community know if they actually reach out.
Will do.

Because it is much closer to the mound than 1B
Huh? Isn't 2nd farther from the mound than 1st? The diagonal of a 90' square is ~127' 3". Mound is 60' 6" away.
That would mean that 2nd is 66' 9" away from the mound where 1st and 3rd are 63' 7.5"

The only way I see SDS really going after it is if it drastically cuts into their profits.
I would make the argument that activity such as botting the marketplace does eat directly into SDS profits. Users who are willing to spend $10 a day on botting are going to be the users who are willing to spend money on stubs. Whales going to whale, but they are going to go with the most cost affective option.
Hi everyone,
I wanted to draw attention to a botting service that has sprung up over the past year or so that sells their services. The service functions as an in-browser addon that automatically lists, removes, edits, etc. items on the marketplace for a user. This service has integrated themselves into very popular fan-run pages online.
This not only has the potential to cause havoc on the marketplace, but create massive imbalances in competitive play for Diamond Dynasty. They advertise making users 200,000 stubs per day using their service.
For the sake of not giving them free advertising, I am not going to mention the name of the service itself here. If an SDS employee wants to reach out to me, I can provide details.
Is something being done about this? How has it lasted for so long when it threatens an integral component of the game to it's core?
New announcers mean a new audio pack. The audio pack will expand throughout the years as the announcers add more and more audio to the game. More than likely you are out of luck for this year.
Do you have a common middle name? That could be a good middle ground!

Yet again we are back to blaming Gamepass
Gamepass isn't to blame for bad coding, bad net code, and bad overall development
I don't think anyone is blaming gamepass directly. It's not like gamepass is CAUSING the issues.
Gamepass simply explains a higher than expected volume of users, increasing then number of get requests on the DB level, which is causing issues on login.
Here's an additional bit of info you might find interesting. I've been keeping an eye and developing a bit with their API and noticed a change that appears to be correlated with their attempts to fix server load. The listings.json file recently had a trim to the data it was sending. It previously contained completed order data that still is in available in listing.json. listings.json would previously send back completed order data for 25 cards at a time but that went away.
I actually have a backup of the file from when I was working on it. Here's an example of listings.json from 4/21. Compare that with the file sent back today.
I think you are right with some of your assumptions and this issue appears to be at the architecture level. Although I'm not so sure this is a load balancing issue as your were insinuating but rather a database/worker one. I think this was also evidenced directly at launch. Users were canceling orders and not receiving credit back for the cancelations. This isn't simply an issue of too many get requests or straight bandwidth at nodes. Database and worker load would be my bet to point the finger. Take what I say with a grain of salt. I have a fairly base level understanding of how the stack interacts without specific intimate detail at any layer. I think there is enough evidence though that I can, with some level of confidence, point there.
I don't know how you fix that issue though without simply waiting for or forcing the volume to decrease. It's not like they are going to have the ability to make the architectural changes needed on the fly in the production environment in a short period of time.
You are correct however that this isn't a "game server" issue. The game and online connection, once the connection is made and data is synchronized, works flawlessly.

Hi everyone. With showzone.io still in development, I figured I would create a google spreadsheet that calculates the value of flipping certain cards in TheShow.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1961cHWKQoYXGU0FQNQXEvJSiyp43uoWsh7YSbmZJz_A/
It connects directly into the API and automatically updates values every 5 minutes.
If there is enough interest I'll go ahead and create a sheet for equipment too.
Enjoy!
Good job...but 5 minute updates..a lot can change in 5 minutes
Unfortunately I'm limited with google's limitations on outside URL calls. They have a limit on 20k at day.
I have to call each page individually. 64 pages for all the cards.
64 pages x 12 calls an hour x 24 hours a day = 18,500 calls so I am right up against the limit with 5 minute intervals.
... dup post
OF COURSE... I still have issues with google telling me I am calling services too much... I thought this was fixed but the sheet starts throwing errors right after I post this and I can't call out to any APIs until tomorrow morning. I will attempt to have this fixed by then.
Should be back up and running now.

Our nightly server outage is here
Having a Hall of Famer come out of the pen for Matt Vasgersian to say "Number 45 comes out" is just plain disrespectful.

I'm expected to somehow just know what position I'll be playing before each game?
It tells you at the bottom.
Anyone see the patch notes fly across? Haven't seem them anywhere.
Do you guys have HDR turned on with a non-HDR display? Looks fine on my PS4.
We back.
Looks like the servers are back down.
Type of league? Season structure?
