I think ill bet the under on this one

You say youre better then the worst hitter ever - i would say youre likely not - even the worst hitter to play the game is in the Top 1% of baseball players

Its actually kind of embarrassing imo that we are 2months into a game where a lot of the infrastructure could be pulled forward from previous versions and the Community market has been horrendously slow most of the year, we are barely 2 weeks past server issues, and people who lost stubs and had issues in the first two weeks still have yet to hear any thing back from SDS Customer service

Moments as a concept i think are great - but their execution is insanely flawed imo
Its one of the few areas of this game that functionally punish you for play "good" baseball - in a three ball count you're better off swinging at a bad pitch and hoping to bloop a hit or be blessed by an RNGesus home run rather then taking the free base

Is there any way to permanently turn this off?
I never want to watch this but kind find a toggle to turn it off but I might just be missing it

Lol thx gentlemen loving the mode besides server issues just like w you all I've only got so many gaming hours a day and when I log on to enjoy my newfound love isn't accessible lol can't wait for the issues to be fixed there's so much to do!

Give it about 3 weeks then they'll get it all fixed - happens pretty much every year.

Day 1 - Complete Clusterf*ck, game is almost unplayable
Day 7 - Online modes work ~50% of the time
Day 14 - Works about 75%
Day 21 - works 99% of time

LS DJ - card should have great contact and should be able to rattle off a good amount of at least singles with him - but everything feels like a duff off his bat, or just hangs up long enough to be caught

42 Xander Bogarts - his mission for 2 XBH's for some reason just eludes me

@allmustfall16 said in Vlad Jr.:

He’ll be a diamond at some point. Things finally slowed down for him. You love to see it.

Betting it was the 40lbs

Id be surprised if he didnt go gold with the first update with the way he has been hitting to start the year.

5th in Avg so far this year
2nd to only Trout in OBP (and one of the only 2 players still over .500)
Top 10 in Slugging and top 3 in OPS

I think its going to be tough to not get him the 5 points

People love 42 Gallo - i just cant seem to find that happy spot with him.
also the Player Program Jason Giambi has also disappointed me

Turnbull will get his - pretty sure if you look at the dates on the topps now pack its ending date is before Turnbull threw his no hitter.

Dont forget SDS doesnt actually 'make' these cards - they just take the ones that Topps actually prints and turns them into in game cards.

I wouldnt be surprised if you see both Kluber and Turnbull get a card next week for their no hitters

Wasn’t utley in the game as recently as 2019?

Personally I’d love to see Delgado or Halladay but I expect as a jays fan we are just going to get Joey Bats

How many at bats do you want ./sarcasm

this one of better trolls in a while - kudo's friend

I think for me its the frequency that these robbery style plays occur that bothers me.

They really are highlight reel catches but the problem is that if you told me you had 10 consecutive highlight reel outs made against you in a Showdown would you be shocked? I know i wouldnt

Your 'theory' is mathematically fine - but i think a better way to think about it is that now you actually are incentivized to actually PLAY OUT the full conquest game rather then just get 1 run and bunt around. If you keep going with your math that you had its ~4.5 AB's per inning you need to average to be on par with the Innings math. You should be able to do that fairly easily

The reality imo is that the Plate Appearances stat incentivizes you to play the lowest difficulty you can to maximize your PA's where as the Innings Played incentivized you to play at the highest difficulty you were comfortable with. Honestly if you just play out the conquest games now - yes they take a bit longer but you should be able to rack up the PA's fairly easily.

POTM Turner
POTM Vlad

TA2 Mauricio

will all do fine for you at 3rd - currently im using Vlad Jr at 3rd since i want to Superfractor him

@speedy44_psn said in Sell investments before update or after?:

I sold my Lynn's bc they were going for 5400 so you should always take the profit

so you sold your lynn's for less then they would sell for if he goes diamond? For him it really is just a matter of time and his start 2 days would do nothing but help his case he should be a diamond

@earths-flat_xbl said in If “pack odds” were truly legit…:

we would/should get at least one diamond with every 10 pack bundle and 5 with a 50 pack yet I seem to get 1 diamond out of every 10 10pack bundles and maybe 5 diamonds out of every 10 50 pack bundles. The shown/given odds are a lie. I’m new and thought “wow a 50 pack bundle I’m bound to get something”. No more of the pack buying nonsense for me.

So many people make this post - so i figured I'd make a spreadsheet showing the math on the packs to help illustrate.

on a 50 pack bundle theres actually a ~37% chance you WONT open a diamond.
On 2x 50 pack bundles there still a 13.3% chance you WONT open a diamond.

If you want to 'guarantee' (ie to statistically have a 99% likelihood of seeing a diamond) you need open ~228 standard packs.

Just for you I actually ran the numbers - you have a 98% chance of opening a pack and not seeing a diamond - which means in 200 packs you actually had a 1.76% chance of not seeing a diamond. I would say that you were rather unlucky here but not to the point of it being an absurdly uncommon occurrence. For comparison sake - the chances of rolling 2 six sided dice and having the result come up 9 twice in a row is 1.2%. Or rolling 8 twice is 1.9% - its rare but it happens.

For comparison sake somewhere between 34 packs and 35 packs is where your 50% chance of seeing a diamond and
It would take you between 339-340 packs to have a 99.9% likelihood of seeing a diamond
