But at least you probably made 11 stubs for a 45 minute game cheer up
yea I don't know if I got any Stubbs. wish they still did the post game free card.
Nah, cause that would become stubs. Stubs are a no-no this year.
Huge W if all are earnable through the program. Nobody has been harsher on SDS than me, but this looks solid. I mean, what the hell?! -- what took so long?! Get some content out if you're going to nerf xp and stub generation.
@Sportfreak55 Fool.
@TXRaider78 Me too! ps5 is gone, and thinking I might hit up Jade Empire on the old xbox for kicks. Back in the days when a good video game wasn't a digital vampire attempting to bleed you dry but rather a finished product you'd replay because it was just [censored] good.
Of course it is!
Lots, probably.
Shout out, SDS.
So why when everyone mentions the Buxton boost they never mention the +10 to fielding and +10 to speed? That's huge. Hmmm. That makes that Castro card really pop -- like 95 speed with end-game contact, decent power, and decent fielding.
BTW, Captain Keiermeier (sp?) is a great Buxton boost guy.

@SuntLacrimae50
Binder system is fine, it's improved ovr time
P5'ing/ uprgading your cards display them online
3, Banners/icons display what you have done or even what you like, idk what adding a virtual room to look a trophies you earned would do, it'd be cool like twice then you'd get over it.
Throwback uniforms comes with a price tag/ rights or likeness I'd assume.
Mini season's does get a twist when extreme comes out, even then what more do you want, the word mini is in the name, you want.
Storylines would be cool, I just can't imagine with the game still supporting old gen they'd have the space for it, when they go to next gen only it should hundred percent be a thing, although they did something similar in mlb 18 with multiple player programs and missions (it was brutal)
Calling me a dev becuase I see things different is crazy, although I'd love to be one, you really think devs have a say over the higher ups? Devs care about the community and the game, most of them do play the game, for them they are doing as instructed.
Lol...mmmm, okay then!
PxP's and banners are not trophy rooms or display areas for the user. The binder system is absolutely atrocious -- it still kicks you back to the top when you exit a card, FFS. And that's not even speaking of the aesthetics of it.
You? A dev? Nah. Dev-in-waiting, like I wrote, and you'd fit right in.
As John Lovitz said in SNL, "Lower your standards!"
Peace, you are the exact gamer SDS counts on.

@AdeptOfMemory sounds like all your complaining is either false, and youre just seeing other complain or, its your internet. Bottomline youre a complainer. nothing more nothing less. take your 70$ and pay for better internet and please stfu.
waiting for your "SDS Simp" reply.
It's a legit glitch, albeit a rare one. So why the vitriol? I found your "divide by 6" post hilarious, but this is just immature and stupid. When you respond like this to something that another poster has verified as real (although rare), you're as much an "SDS simp" as he is an overcomplainer. There very much is a cadre of posters on here that trail behind complainers just to troll them...
@Ezaypz94 said in Back to fun playing MVP 2005 baseball:
@SuntLacrimae50 I'm glad I'm not the only one that things this way. I miss the old franchise mode so much which was truly managing a team. Now it's just a joke. I even miss the penthouse that was your main franchise/the player you made's screen and you could see all the trophies. Little stuff like that is what made baseball video games great back in the day. Now it's just copy paste with more ways for developers to pull $ out of consumers with giving them little in return.
100%. The golden era is gone. Unless by golden we mean monetization.
Imagine what some creative people could do to add value to the UI even in a baseball game that has all the rights to MLB history...it's sad.
Looking at older sports games from the pre-live service era will only depress you. Hell, looking at what franchise mode used to be in this game when they had concession prices, travel expenses, etc., is depressing. I'm kind of convinced an emulator is the way to go at this point...
So: coast and milk live-service monetization as much as possible.
Yawn. Predictable.
@chucky97___ said in If you think about it:
@SuntLacrimae50 I mean sports games are sports games. What else do you want, rocket launchers and space ships?
How about a better binder system? A refreshed UI? A place to display your favorite cards or accomplishments, like NCAA trophy rooms or 2K's crib back in the day? How about several more throwback unis for each team? How about a new twist to Mini-seasons on launch for vs. cpu players? How about several career storylines with players it owns the rights to, like Rickey Henderson?
Baseball is literally overflowing with history. SDS gets away with doing almost NOTHING with it, year in and year out.
Your attitude marks you as a dev-in-waiting at SDS -- it's a baseball game, what more could they want???
@genopolanco said in If you think about it:
Those years were arguably the best years of DD from a content perspective. The content structure now is significantly different and for a lot of people, significantly worse. Add on to how SDS has treated the community since then, people are frustrated with all of it. There were a lot of people who praised SDS during that time and now a lot of those same people are just bitter and burned out with DD.
I am that person. I think it's the fate of modes like DD to creep irreversibly towards monetization, and in fairness to the devs you can only do so much with yearly reboots. But this year is a lazy, stale, stingy mess. I will not play another minute of the game this year, and probably won't buy MLBtS again unless I get a next gen console when this current gen is over. It was my last hope for sports gaming -- I have no hope for NCAA because it's EA -- which is why my ps5 is gone. Now I'll slowly try to kick my forum habit, lol...
Power creep is a great thing. It's probably going too fast and the content is too light.
Power creep with seasons will probably suck. You can't have launch day back again. To think you can is delusional.
Power creep with pack-only players ahead of the creep is gross.
Just my 2 cents.
I don't totally disagree with this guy's general point, that Witt is a nerfed Lightning card compared to past cards.
But until he reveals his main account, it doesn't exist and he loses all credibility. That's basic stuff. Claim something that's easy to prove? Back it up. No? It's a lie.
He is indeed a poseur.
Sigh.
Nerfing the LS collection was a huge misstep. No division boss cards to unlock. AL and NL bosses 95's.
Don't forget that no division bosses means less xp and fewer stubs -- by a LOT.
This year's game is smarmy.
Just something to know -- Ohtani is really easy to pxp if you pitch with him and DH with him.
BUT, he doesn't get the Buxton Boost even though his vision is below 60. Is that a bug?
Isn't Mookie killing it? You might be able to buy him now and then sell him after the update if he goes up...
SDS has painted itself into a corner by trying to emulate baseball while trying to please both diehards and casuals all while focusing on monetization.
Results are predictable.

BJ, this is a thread about Logo Vault issues. I think you mean to post your defense of wokeness in the Off Topic category. Here is the link:

@SuntLacrimae50 so, youâre commenting about Disneyâs perceived âwokenessâ in a thread about the logo vault, of a video game, that you have posted in multiple threads, youâre so done with youâve, cancelled PS Plus, thrown your PS5 in a dumpster, and are trying to sell your controller.
Thatâs how youâre spending your time today?
You do you.
But I love arguing! So it's all good.
I was trying to tempt you into doing more of your patented "investigative forum journalism" -- you know, checking into people's profiles, game logs, and post histories. Well done, sir!
Also one of your go-to moves: find yourself in danger of losing the argument, so abandon it and pivot to ad hominem attacks. Who resorted to that first: you or I? Well done #2, sir!
You do YOU.
