The Show has always been my first priority in gaming. I’d never go play something else unless I was completely caught up on all grinding & had made WS that month. But now - I’m just done. It’s taking MUCH too long to build up stubs. And I feel like I’m just spinning my tires most of the time. I’m also tired of nothing being fixed - Even the easy stuff like why is the wheel still void of all visual effects? A couple months in & that’s still a thing? That bait & switch they pulled with Chipper? Unforgivable.

I love baseball so I’ll still play but it’s now just one of several games I’ll play going forward. Not letting it hog all my gaming time anymore. I’m just going to grind the free cards when they drop a new program & that’s it. Will then go play other games like I just preordered Forza. I’ll snag all the paywall cards when they post the forever program. F you SDS for ruining what was the undisputed king of team building modes in sports games. Now you’re no better than the rest. Seriously…Go F yourselves REALLY HARD.

In all fairness…They used to say Cool Papa could turn off the light switch & be under the covers before the room turned dark.

@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.

The problem is stubs, Period…SDS simply doesn’t award enough stubs across the entire mode to be able to upgrade your team in a reasonable amount of time. In Forza you earn a good amount of credits for just playing the game. And it doesn’t take forever to save up & make significant upgrades. That makes it fun & the grind feel rewarding. This is how SDS could fix it…Say you load into a game of Conquest - You should get 1000 stubs for a homer, 750 for a triple, 500 for a double…Win the game? 5000 stubs, Lose the game? 2500 stubs…Then just double the values for online play…This would make grinding for players MUCH healthier. There’s simply just not enough ways to earn enough stubs to make a difference currently. This would provide that & players would actually FEEL that they’re working towards a reasonable goal.

I would say the difference is actually fun. FH6 is a joy to play, no matter what you are doing. The Show feels like an incredibly unrewarding job at a company that hates you.

THIS! 100%

Like how fun is racing against other Door Dashers to make food deliveries? When I first saw you can make coin by door dashing between races I thought it was cute - But it’s REALLY fun!

They are now praying on the small percentage that buy stubs like most gotcha games. It’s not about getting 50$ from 100,000 people. It’s a lot easier getting 1000$ from 5000 people.

THIS

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.
