I would think that a PR strategy for situations like this would be that if you know your consumer base will not like the answer to an issue you have to give, it might be better to just say nothing at all.

As a PR professional, silence only breeds more distrust and skepticism for when a message does finally come out. There are ways to put out a message that is honest and direct about what is happening and what steps are being taken to address legitimate concerns. Not all “problems” raised are actually bugs or issues with the game, some are by design (RTTS being married to DD now for example). But being completely silent is never advised.

So I get the Scouting Report, didn't get the email, but logged in to proper account and getting a server error...anyone else having this issue?

If you didn’t get the email yet then your account hasn’t been given access to the app preview. They said they’re sending out invite emails in waves that’ll unlock your account and let you in before the public release.

PSN login error despite getting the invite email from Scouting Report.

I think it would be great to see Program progress and TA on the Show Nation site so I can make a game plan for what I want to do when I get back into the game rather than having to spend a few minutes looking through what to do next.

I’m looking forward to it once the patch comes through for the progression bug. In past years, what was the point in continuing to play past 2 or 3 seasons when you’re hitting 130 homers a year out of the gate? I’ll take the grind this time and it’ll get me into DD for the first time as a player so I’ll give it a shot before I [censored] on the mode

How often do Scouting Report emails go out? I signed up a while back, but haven't received a single newsletter yet and am unable to sign in to the app just yet.

About once a month for regular SR emails. They said for this app they are processing SR invites in batches each day this week to send invites so you should get one to log in before public release.

Standard. The four days early seems to be the biggest thing for higher tiers plus the donation to The JRF. Go standard and donate the difference to JRF instead of just $1.

What I mean is that while we knew there was a time limit until the start of the 2nd Inning, I don’t believe it was announced beforehand that you would not be able to go back and earn progress once it closes like in years past.

It is just processing the first round of invites. Try again in a couple mins.

Thanks Collin! Just got in!

Agreed. I’d be ok with the high exp requirement if it means I can grind each inning I want even after the next inning comes out. I don’t see how I’ll get to 350k as a standard release casual player before the 2nd Inning unfortunately

Keep trying friends - just got in!

Yeah but you don’t have to do the online ones in order to progress through the 1st Inning program to get the same rewards. Like you said in the OP, online players get to the rewards easier because they’re paying/committing to that. Offline - myself included - have to put in more of the grind on offline modes but the cards are still attainable.
