@surfinsantacruz_mlbts said in April Monthly Awards - Great job!:

Ya i got them all! it was so fun and quite easy. Was it this easy in previous years? I really enjoyed it as it wasn't much of a grind and I used the players I kept getting in conquest to get to the next player and levels. Now I went from a team of bronze/silvers to diamonds!

Last year was easy, it was the first year they did it this way. 19's was terrible, because you had to collect all the Topps Now cards (and you didn't get to choose they were random), and all the Monthly cards were in Monthly packs.

In 17 and 18, they had Monthly packs and you had to collect all the players and complete missions. And the packs cost I want to say 30k, along with there being a limit of 2. 18's did get a lot easier at the end, when they put a random Monthly pack in the store after the season for only 15k, and there was no limit on how many you could buy. I wound up doing them all thanks to that, and the POTM Yelich was the only Monthly program that cost over 100k near the end of the cycle. And that was thanks to it being Yelich, and you having to collecting Monthly Trevor Story who people loved, and a good Monthly Walker Buehler. The only other one that came close was the one that required you to collect Monthly Hader, because that Hader was bananas.

maybe i'll load up 20 and have a look. i think this years menus are much more user friendly to help understand what needs to be done for these programs and sub programs.

Same time as all the other threads on the subject

@thegoaler_psn said in so if you finished 1st inning program - where does xp go?:

It does blow to gain XP and it just goes into the vortex, never to be seen again.
It's like the Dio song 'All the fools sailed away.' The XP just gets carried away by the current, lost at sea. 🤣
I am waiting to dive into the POM program like a fly is circling a fresh pile of 💩 because I want my XP to count again.
I want to live again. I want to be like the guy in 'Bridges in the sky' by Dream Theater who says 'The piece of me that died will return to live again!'
That is all of us that finished the 1st prematurely, and see others bask in the glory that we once knew of seeing that XP count go up, knowing that we will be at that promised land, yet again when the 2nd inning starts.

I'll see myself out, now. Time to spend another 5 hours in the games music editor 🤪

You're wasting your time by not completing the potm now. Unless you're trying to be one of the first to gain the 2nd inning boss, there will be plenty of xp to max out the 2nd inning, provided you put in the time.

You're going to wind up in the same position towards the end of the second inning; not playing because you want the xp to count towards the third.

Besides, if not mistaken, I believe the 100 pts. from the potm only go towards the first inning.

@pbake12_psn said in Completed All Offline - was : 3000 XP away from finishing 1st Inning - what can i do?:

Remember double XP is still turned on and has been for almost the entire 1st inning. I assume everyone will complain once they turn it off that they are not earning enough XP anymore...

This is legitimately a concern though. I was at around 525k before the drop of the potm and topps now collection and am pushing 75 hours now. I have to wonder if I would have even gotten to the bosses without double xp...a near 80 hour grind fkr the boss packs is FAR too much.

@surfinsantacruz_mlbts said in MLB The Show 21 - #4 Overall on Gamepass, #1 for Sports:

#1 sports title over NBA 2K and Madden!

That's misleading, the other games are not brand new. When October get here i'll be spending all my sports time on Nba2K23 till March or April then back to MLB.
I like fifa but not FUT, so fifa 21 on next gen will last me 5 years or so, and I lost interest in Madden years ago.

Baseball and basketball are my favorites for ultimate teams.

I mean it clearly says in the daily moments tab to "look out for days that give double progress"

Lol they’re down again bud

@abbyspapa_psn said in MLB17 took 38 days to fix:

Everybody keeps mentioning 17, dude that was 4 years ago! We didn't even have a good Justice League movie back then and Bill Cosby was still loved by all!

I distinctly remember hating Cosby in 2017...and we still don't have a good Justice League movie that isn't animated.

@surfinsantacruz_mlbts said in Playing on XBO but soon may get PS5 - progress carried over?:

So I'm waiting on next gen and I think I may have a good chance to get a PS5 this week.

I've been playing on xbox one and I have all my playstation and xbox accounts linked to this site.

So if I get it on PS5, will my progress be linked up from my xbox account and I won't need to restart on PS5?

I’m hearing this is possible. I want to do it as I have my team in ps4 and want to switch to Xbox and already have an Xbox s series but 1.) I can’t figure out how to do it and 2.) I’m scared it will mess up and take my team.

So if you figure out how to do it please do share.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I kind of hope they don't do boss collections this year. No collection means fewer crazy price increases, making them a lot less of a headache to flip for 🙂

@joshjays44_psn said in Checked back 3 hours later - servers still down:

This is a sign you should become a better player...so get back in the batting cages and take swings casual!! And when the servers are back up you can keep getting XP or collect cards or whatever non baseball things you online people do when servers are back up.

servers are tied to offline play too like RTTS. I play DD Offline so if servers are down that mode does not work either offline.

RTTS?, DD offline?...What are those!!!!.....dude..go play baseball! Get in the batting cages and take swings over and over, practice your pitching....take some grounders. When you're good go start a Franchise...go play baseball!!

Ya i am a grown adult here with a full time job and kids. maybe you can do that if you're a kid but many of us can't.

I guess this is your 1st time playing an SDS game.

@scott_larock101 said in Redditor Made Awesome classic stadiums:

Wow that is awesome, so glad they finally added the search feature. I don't have the patience to build a stadium.

I spent like 30 minutes the other day toying around with it and quit. I figured I'd just end up using someone else's creation eventually, lol.

I like moving players from AAA to the majors and back depending on the player's performance. I've already sent a ineffective starter after his third start not getting past 4 1/3 innings and a very bad ERA. Bringing in a AAA starter who is doing better.

@hikes83_psn said in Roster Update?:

15-20 mins

Did you get your Trout back?

Not yet buddy, just the automatic reply thus far. Oddly enough, I pulled one from a pack earlier

Each Division has missions, moments, exchanges, and collections. Each activity gives you Team Affinity pts (TA pts) for completing. You’ll see a progress bar at the top, that will show you how many TA pts you need in the division for each reward. The 42 packs are what gives you a choice pack for a 42 Player. Also, there’s a Team Affinity showdown. Each time you beat the final boss, you are awarded 5 TA exchange tickets. You can exchange 1 ticket for 3 TA pts.

It’s a long grind to complete all 6 divisions and end up with 30 different TA 42 players.

I'd guess the legends 42 will be in a pack hidden in the 2nd inning conquest, 3rd inning at the latest. If they release them too late they'll be irrelevant because better cards will already be out.

Feel free to walk away sometimes is all I can say. Tried it a few times yesterday and couldn’t get more than 1 HR. Tried today and got 10 bases (HR-Double-HR). Yesterday all Fried did was pound me inside like some WS player. Today, meatballs. It’s Moments.....
