I can play in created stadiums. I can create stadiums. Are you sure you're on the correct version? There have been a few instances where people have downloaded the One version instead of the X|S version.

@The-Harvest_XBL said in How do you bunt effectively?:

Let me just be clear up front, I am not looking to be a cheese bunter and I don't play online. I'm asking because I suck at bunting players over. I either hit it foul or pop-out 70% of the time.

Is there a way to deaden the ball or direct the bunt that I'm unaware of?

Before the pitch is thrown press R analog stick towards 1B or towards 3B…you’ll feel the controller vibrate in confirmation…you can swap the direction as many times as necessary before the pitch is released. Triangle at last possible second to lay a perfect bunt…lay off bunt if you see the pitch coming in high and hot…whichever way you pointed will be the direction you lay the bunt

ps good bunting attrib is very helpful but not a dealbreaker if you do the rest well

I'm using an all HOF roster. Not at my console but here are the main players

C Foxx
1B McCovey
2B Morgan
3B Chipper
SS Ozzie (he is smashing the ball to my surprise)
LF Billy Williams
CF Griffey
RF Aaron
DH Mays

SP Ryan
SP Randy
SP Pedro
SP Feller
SP Walter Johnson

Ooh! I just thought of something else I bet you could do…you could create a pitcher in rtts, then when you are asked to select his delivery you would select “current players” and cycle through each delivery and take note of the sidearm pitchers you like…this would at least show what live cards might fulfil your need? Might be a little time consuming but talk about a definitive list lol

That's what's fun about this game. You learn about players that you may not have known much about. I knew the name Jimmie Foxx but if you are alive today, he was before your time, so I didn't know much about him. Hands down he is my favorite card in the game year after year. This is certainly not the best version of his card yet and I'm still hitting about 450 with at least 100 homeruns.

@The-Harvest_XBL said in The 10k HR Derby back was huge for me:

I hesitate buying packs because they rarely cash out. I bought the 10k HR Derby pack and got Vlady, which I immediately sold for 100k. Because there were so many stubs out, prices tanked last night. I was finally able to do some flips and bought Judge, Trout, and Ohtani. My pull luck has been [censored], so that's a huge win for me.

I only need 3 more Diamonds to complete the set and finally get Jeter.

No such thing as a 10k HRD pack so this is a lie

Coming from the guy who just posts here to cut people down. Maybe it’s time to do something more constructive with your time besides name calling on a video game forum.

@The-Harvest_XBL said in All Programs complete, still no where near sets being done:

I just completed all of the TA program (finally) and I'm still about 40 cards short of completing Set 1, 30 cards short of Set 2, and 20 cards from Core Set.

Now, I do not play online, but I have played well about the assumed average hours of gameplay. Those programs are not quick.

With that being said, how am I supposed to complete these sets unless I buy stubs or play online? I was hoping that the program cards would line up with the sets, but I was wrong.

I'm really hoping the expectation is to complete all programs, playing online, and flip/buy stubs. That seems a bit excessive to me.

I am just curious, when you say that you haven’t completed the set 1 or 2 collection, do you mean all 3 packs?
Thanks

I’m referring to the collections, set 1, 2, and core. Where you get Babe Ruth, Randy Johnson, etc

Yes, I did know what you are speaking of. I guess I should have asked are you trying to get the Set 1 and 2 collections fully completed, as in Ruth, Pedro. and Chipper in Set 1. But reading further through the posts, I see that you are. Best of luck on everything and future set collections.
Sorry for any confusion.

I’ve now confirmed this one both Xbox consoles I have. Both freeze in the exact same spot.

@The-Harvest_XBL said in Is it me, or are there way more Pitcher missions this year?:

As I adjust my lineup with players I need to complete missions, I find myself being backlogged on pitchers to the point where I don't have enough position players to field a team that also next XP. Also, pitchers don't get XP as quickly in the 3 inning games, which takes longer.

I just find it annoying, but maybe that's just me

best advice I can give is if you have PXP needed for Team Missions in Team Affinity and/or PXP needed for "Program Player" missions like with Charisma, Incognito, Kaiju, etc just plug those players back in even if you already completed their individual PXP missions... outside of that the other thing I do is put in a hitter captain card (if I have it) for the team that I still have a player that I need to get PXP for.

For example: With Future Stars Mauricio for the Mets, I put in Captain Alonso and enough Mets to get to Tier 1, 2, or 3 (depending on my mood) to give him a boost that will hopefully allow for me to finish his PXP faster.

If all else fails just use cards that you want to use and/or enjoy using... that's pretty much what I do.

Also, if there is a specific type of player you need to use for Weekly Wonders like how this week has Catchers, Live Series and I think Incognito player missions.

@The-Harvest_XBL said in Can we talk about the pregame flyovers?:

Is it me, or do the pregame flyovers with helicopters and jets look like Atari graphics to anyone else?

It's so bad that it's comical to me. Is this intentional or am I missing something?

I still use my Atari every once in a while so I’m gonna assume you’re either being sarcastic or Stevie Wonder.

In past games you could gun out people from right field a few times a game. Not realistic. Glad they toned it down.

Maybe they should make the fielders slower and the runners a bit quicker, it's not like we haven't told then this before

I actually think the fielders are way too nonchalant. I think that could take some tuning to improve urgency.

Situational, see balls that should never get caught get caught and simple plays a 3rd grader could make they mess it up

I just love how people who don't even play other team modes make comments about how DD is the "best".

It's not.

it is if you are stuck in this immature mindset that it's all about 99 rated cards and trying to compete to be some kind of paid professional MLB 23 player.

There's no mode in DD with any actual strategy. Everyone says they LOVE Battle Royale, and then claims there's no need for a capped mode...when it is literally the same thing just using cards you OWN and not playing cheesy 3 inning games where players with HUGE flaws and cheesy tactics aren't exposed.

Not having matchmaking is stupid. Especially with all this 99 craziness.

At least in 2K, if I decide to load up a team with a couple Pink Diamonds I like...and a few Rubies and Amethysts...I'm going to get matched up with someone else whose team has an OVR rating similar to mine, not some team with the 13 best players in the game.

There's no way to do this in The Show...unless you're one of the best 500 players in the world and can go online with Golds and low Diamonds and beat bums like me.

I think it's kind of sad...and boring...and silly...and unintelligent...and lame....what these modes have turned into. All the grinding and silly tasks you are basically FORCED to do to get certain cards. The complete lack of any kind of roster building strategy because on DAY 1 you can easily build a team full of flawless players.

The way certain cards become "meta", so playing online literally becomes like playing the SAME exact CPU team 100 times in a row.

Gee...it sure is fun to play against a juiced Lindor and Murikami every freaking game for 2 months!! So much variety....

BTW...why TF is Murakami so fast? That dude slaps screamers to the SS with 105 EV's and almost beats them out!

It's unbelievable how they've taken what should be an amazingly deep and immersive mode and made it so shallow, lame, and completely devoid of any strategy whatsoever.
