@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN I just want to play casual players that play a normal clean game of baseball. That’s it.

I’m tired of playing people that start exploiting or grieving the minute things go wrong.

It’s been 4 years since I’ve made WS. I truly thought the game had just passed me by competitively. But over the past couple days I went on a tear & plowed over 800!!! I’m 48 years old & smoke weed everyday. If I can do it, So can the rest of my senior citizen friends here! Get it boys!!!

I understand the how…Now I’m trying to understand the why?

This is a video game & people aren’t just cheating by doing something here & there. They’re flat out loading into a game and then just laying their controller down & letting the programs do the playing for them…Ok but why? What are they getting out of it? Sure you get the WS rewards but you’re not earning the wins? Hell, You’re not even playing the game! …Like why would you load into game after game and not even play? It’s a video game that you’re not even playing. Just sitting there watching a program play. I don’t get it. I don’t get alot anymore though. People are just weird.

I am enjoying grinding TA. The one mistake I believe SDS made was the 100 total bases requirement. All the other missions flow well together & finish at approximately the same time with the 100 total bases being the exception. This one requirement is causing a major bottleneck. Had they made it 50 bases it would have fit in with the rest.

I HATE duplicate no sell [censored]…Wish I could even just quick sell them for zero stubs. Sick of looking at them.

She throws the filthiest knuckleball I’ve ever seen. This thing would cause so much rage in online play…But they didn’t put it on the actual card you earn so no worries. But go play her storyline and have fun with that knuckler.

The mouth pieces on the streams always say the game is play your way, If you don’t like a certain mode then you can earn cards a different way…The problem is this is simply not true. If you want to actually complete collections to get the players that will be required on all collections going forward then it is REQUIRED you play the modes they hide the no sell cards behind. And that’s their right to do so, But don’t act like it’s not mandatory.

There is on average 1 double play per team per game in MLB. Yet on this game they occur about once an inning. Must be REALLY hard to make an accurate game.

I just talked to a content creator on twitter who explained it to me. Evidently there is some software you can use that basically plays for you & plays perfectly. He also said it’s becoming common & it’s not hard to get.

Well we can only hope SDS have an answer soon. This does make me feel better about giving up 14 consecutive hits the other day though.

I just completed the forever Conquest along with almost every other program and I haven’t played The Show much at all since August.

My point is this - You could wait and start in December every year. A couple weeks of grinding & you’ll have every 99 you desire but without the headache of a large grind or buying stubs and now you can just kick back and play RS or chill against the cpu.

The only drawback I see is if you witnessed some great feat by one of your favs and wouldn’t get the card that reflects the accomplishment THAT WEEK. But if you could live without that…December is my new launch day

@DivineFury75_PSN If ranked effects you this negatively then just play offline modes. Nothing wrong with playing Conquest. This is a game that should bring you joy, Not make you feel so dark.

@Ditka06-_MLBTS I’ll try to explain one more time, Then I’ll just move on….I am decent online, Usually make WS 2 or 3 times per game cycle. The problem I have is that 75% of the player base are sore losers/toxic players. Most games they either quit after immediately falling behind, bunt dance, keep playing the pause game, ect…I would rather just have a chill regular baseball experience with the cpu playing some conquest or mini seasons. Now if SDS ever comes up with a matchmaking system that matches you with similar players (Skill & behavioral patterns) then I might prefer online more. But until that day, I’m totally fine playing more offline than online.

I use Hader. He’s fine…Sometimes I get outs, Sometimes I get shelled. Doesn’t seem OP to me.

The problem isn’t Ohtani being special. It’s that he literally costs $500. Think about that - $500 for a player that loses all value 1 year later. SDS controls the prices of everything. If they wanted to he would be 100k by the end of the week. But that’s not gonna happen because MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!

That's incorrect. He could cost time (in flipping) or skill (earning him via BR/Ranked/WC).

Those complaining about the cost are just too lazy to earn him the other ways.

I respect SaveFerris. I think he brings alot of good knowledge to this forum. Just wanted to say that so this isn’t personal…

I should be able to achieve everything in a video game by simply PLAYING THE GAME. I refuse to spend 12 hours a day flipping cards for a virtual currency to buy cards that last a short time. That is WAAAAY too much hamster on a wheel for me. I honestly miss the old days where if you wanted the best cards you could get them just by grinding the game. ZERO stubs required for Immortals. As far as skill goes - The things you listed - Making WS, Going 10-0, ect…According to SDS that’s less than 1% of player base so the “GeT GoOd” argument is absurd. There should be a way to earn every card without either spending cash or flipping cards for hours upon hours. It’s a baseball game, We should be playing baseball.

While this isn’t as big a problem as gameplay, I think it still needs addressed….I’m tired of having to open 3 or 4 packs to get to the cards and having to do this multiple times for every pack. It’s just absurd.

All the Negro League Stadiums. Just love the old timey feel of them.

Congrats on getting the #1 fan! That’s quite a grind!

Bring on the AI…Commentary is WAAAAY too repetitive in the show. “Garlic fries yo” “And that’s not outdated” “They gave him the kid size”….STOP

The live series collection model isn’t going away anytime soon. SDS probably makes more money at launch from whales that drop $2000 day one to complete the collection than at any other point all year. ZERO chance they get rid of that easy money.
