I don't know how, but I finished all the offline missions by some major miracle. The two doubles and a stolen base was the hardest one for me, oddly.

But I want to point out a few things, if anyone at SDS is paying attention.

1. It would be nice for players who haven't beat these challenges if you let Robinson actually get a full leadoff, or extend his leadoff in these moments before the pitcher starts his windup. Especially when you are accelerating the counts to 1-1 2-2, etc. Not cool. Nothing like needing a stolen base to beat a challenge and the pitcher starts his windup before you can get a lead properly.

2. Stop making completing a program contingent upon playing completing some things online. Sure, you can get the Robinson diamond card if you beat all the offline and conquest challenges, but to get the rewards beyond that, you are forced to play online. And as a 40-something year-old player, I don't want the toxic nonsense that comes along with it. Give us the option to complete these offline if we choose. Tons of other customers are saying the same thing on here today.

3. I noticed that there were some offline missions left uncompleted in Jackie Robinson's Stage 1 of this program. But because I completed 35 Program points/stars/whatever in them, I cannot go back and get those points even if I complete those goals.

Huh? What kind of nonsense is that? Really?

Anyway, my two cents, and plenty of others on here today are posting the same thing.

@xSwampbear19x said in Gift me Mike Trout pleaseee!!!:

Hello fellow MLB lovers,I am new to this game series just starting playing last year and I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to sell mike trout to me for 21000.I have never had Mike Trout before.Hes always been one of my favorite players.Please sell him to me at 21000 if you don’t mind.Have a good season and be safe out there fellas and ladies.

Anyone wanna gift me Jennifer Love Hewitt from 10 years ago, while we're on the gifting subject?

Propose any idea here, even if it is a good one, and all you get are personal attacks.

Then people wonder why some of us choose to avoid online play. It's that childish, immature toxicity that makes me avoid playing head to head games.

That same toxicity is literally costing you potential customers playing more online, SDS. I really wish you would crack down on the behavior on this site. Have fun arguing everyone. I am off to have a life away from this silliness.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be playing games on Hall of Fame mode, nor did I think I would ever complete this.

Only two wins left, one against the AL in six innings, and one against the all-time stars in nine innings, and the Ruth card is mine.

I have lucked out quite a bit, except for the last game, which took me three tries and 16 innings to win.

An absolutely insane grind, though.

I'm sitting at 240 program stars grinding for Frank Thomas, and while I know I will likely still get to 300 in the next six days, it would have been nice if instead of giving me 35 Jackie Robinson program points I can't use because I already have his card, if you gave us even 15 program stars as an alternative for those who already have the Robinson card. Makes me feel like those last countless hours I grinded for that 99 overall Robinson were a waste now. Those moments were absolutely brutal to get from 94 overall to 99.

And I don't try to cheese and steal that much. But the amount of pitch outs by the computer are literally a third to a half of the time you attempt a stolen base. It gets ridiculous after a while.

If you can’t handle the fire. Stay out of the kitchen.

This forum is tired of being lied to and deceived with the same ol SDS dance year after year.

Thanks for proving my point. It's called having respect for others while disagreeing. Try it sometime.

@JMilne76 said in Showdown pisses me off:

Showdowns are the worst addition ever

I honestly wish they would just remove them from the game completely. Like a failed experiment.

@NDStew_32 said in Jackie Robinson missions. Take notes SDS.:

"> No, we just don't want to have to play laggy, buggy online games with rage quitters, pausers, and juveniles who don't respect anyone because they are sitting at home in their parents' basements. "

This says everything about you we need to know.

You are correct, It says that I have respect for others and you have proven my point. Condescending responses are the ugly cousin of rage, my friend,

Have a great day, man.

@TheHungryHole said in Soooo tired of getting thrown out stealing on pitch outs:

SDS broke the game this year that is for sure mate

The pitchouts were like this last year, too.

@tfrog76 said in Should be able to see opponents PCI:

This is the worst suggestion I have seen on here in ages. You cannot read someone's mind in real life, why should you be able to in the game and exploit their patterns and habits? Awful idea, with all due respect.

Showing the opponents feedback swing is pretty close to exploiting their habits.

A lot of things in this game don't mirror real life.

Use Lucas Giolito and Eric Gagne a lot. H/9 for both is 125 maxed out. And get ahead in counts and have a stacked lineup.

@Nanos_McGregor said in Looks like people will be coming back to The Show:

SDS treats the fans better than any sports gaming company. There’s no debate. Are they perfect? Far from it. Way better than EA and it’s no contest.

That's like saying John Gacy is better than Jeff Dahmer...because Gacy only killed his victims he didn't eat them too.

This is the worst analogy I have ever seen. Comparing EA's trash, or 2K's, to the awesome content SDS gives us for free, is such an insult to SDS.

Any Nationals or Angels player with a paper bag over their heads as card art, because their teams suck this season, works for me.

I don't care if it is two of them, or twenty. Us customers all want new stadiums. I know it can be difficult to upgrade a game, or render new artwork, etc. And I also know they have to pay for the rights to those new stadiums.

So do it.

So many of us spend SO much extra money on this game. It's the least you could do, SDS. Give us Old Comiskey Park. Tiger Stadium. The Kingdome. Candlestick Park. Something. Anything. Old Comiskey and Tiger Stadium, specifically, should be easy to render. How much can the rights possibly cost? I would even pay for it as DLC!

@Ikasnu said in It's about time. The White Sox finally got some respect in live series.:

Purchased an Abreu jersey shirt when I went to a game several years ago. I'm glad to announce that it is for that sole reason he went diamond today.

Honestly I'm a closet White Sox fan so I'm really happy to see the love as well.

I am in my 40s, and this is the best-hitting Sox team I've ever seen, by far. The 2005 team was one of the most complete teams of all-time fundamentally, but this team can flat-out rake. 24 home runs in seven games is no joke.

Long overdue.

Gave up a two-run homer to Yellich after a walk in the 5th, but that was the only hit I allowed. Got it done on the first try. High fastballs up and in, slow junk down and or away, folks.
