And the player selection did not seem slow or sluggish at all

If they have finally fixed this, that gets a huge Thank You from me.

@skywalker_25_PSN You also only hear how bad this game is but you still play it...I play mostly online and ive been disconnected one time. Out of maybe 100 games I've come across 2 or 3 cheaters, but that doesn't make online not fun. You should just give it a try for yourself and see if you like it instead of listening to people who only complain on here...

I've played online a few times in previous years, it was not a pleasant experience.

@rubicante23_PSN people are scared of losing. Its just a game, win or lose it had zero influence on your real life; and if it does, you need help.

It's not that at all.

All I do is hear online players complain anout online play.

• Cheaters
• Dashboarders
• Match ups against superior players
• Disconnects
• Complaints about some magic logic keeping bad players in the game
• Complaints about good contact not being rewarded and bad contact getting hits.
• Etc

As a general rule I would say when it comes to actual gameplay we offline players are more content and happy than most online gamers.

ALL OF THIS. All I hear is complaints about the online play, why would I want to play it? Plus, I feel like making more people play online is only going to make things worse for gameplay if the servers already can't handle it.

Why can't SDS do something along the lines of making it so if you play offline line you need to get 4 or 5 times the amount of stats as an online player? That way the online player is getting their stuff quicker, can play online and still make their stubs while the offline player has to grind more.

So tired of people saying "just play online, it's easy missions". Because that is entirely not the point. I wouldn't care if they had a mission that said, "have 1 plate appearance in an online mode". The POINT is that they are forcing it. Completely tone-deaf. You force a player to play a way they do not want to, they will move on to other games. Between an XBox account and a gaming laptop with a Steam account, there are way more options for my $70 next year. Just a shame there is no competition for MLB games.

Exactly.

Again, my biggest issue with this program is that they made it seem like it was going to be attainable for everyone (online & offline players) and it isn't.

The question to ask yourself is: do you want Zack Britton and Acuna?

If not, then why be sad. There’s no forcing going on.

Not necessarily, but the 75K in stubs and XP would be nice.

Just felt like false marketing. Made it seem like it would be something achievable for all online and offline players.

Obviously they went away from the play how you want and now they're forcing you to play online

Ranked, Weekend Classic, Events, Battle Royale, Multiplayer Programs. There are plenty of online modes for exclusive rewards. To advertise a program and these rewards like it will be achievable for all and force online gameplay (just to finish the first tier) shows you how dumb and out of touch SDS is. They've $hown their true color$ this year and if I hadn't invested 500+ hours and a few dollars into this game already, I'd quit now.

I was about 85% sure I wasn't going to buy the game next year, this has pushed me to 100% certain I won't.

I will say, this June countdown has peaked my interest a little. Curious to see how all this stuff is earned.

Market finally getting corrected. Shohei down almost 200K from the start of the day.

@skywalker_25_PSN you forgot diamond quest lol.

Thanks. Added.

Who are we kidding? Deep down we all know it's just going to be the Stay Tuned For Details....Program.

-Stay Tuned Program where you can earn 4 players that you'll only use for the collection
-Stay Tuned Packs featuring the better cards of the program with the best being in the rare round that you won't pull
-Stay Tuned Mini Seasons where you earn 4 cards that you'll only use for the collection
-Stay Tuned Conquest where you earn another card to use towards the collection
-Stay Tuned Diamond Quest where you will clear the map for a 90% chance on Legend to get 2 cards for the collection
-Stay Tuned collection rewards where the only card you want is the last one and you only have to collect all but 1 of the Stay Tuned cards.
-A Stay Tuned Chase Card which will be a switch hitter and the best card of the drop

I'm right there with you. The other day I ripped 157 standards. 0 Diamond players and 4 Diamond jerseys.
Kind of the year in a nutshell for me. Been awful.

As a guy that only plays offline, I'm fine with the longer conquest maps.
It's a welcome little break up from up my mini seasons grinding.

@Dolenz_PSN said:

The final collection is indeed Ted Willams

It's Skubal, which gives me some hope that this Ted Williams might be attainable.

Surprised Castro isn't the collection reward.

Curious to see what they have in the packs and as a collection if they are giving us Seager, Kluber and Headley for free. That is kind of a nice haul for a program.

@Dolenz_PSN I'm starting to buy into your theory that SDS has it out for you.
The amount of Cardinals hidden in packs is getting out of hand.

I reached the point where all I can do is laugh.

Posada and Vmart are both under 20k rn are they not?

I want Simmons for my Cardinals team

He was selling close to 200k this morning, he's selling in the 140-160K range now. I bet after VMart is released he'll drop a little more. Keep an eye on him, you should be able to snag him at a decent price.

This is a much needed step in the right direction.
This is the first time this year that I feel like they might actually care about their game and loyal customers.

Should've left it up.
