A couple weeks ago I said I was fed up with all the show 26 bs and would be going back to play 25…Guys, It’s been a fun 2 weeks. There are NO cheaters there. I never wait more than 5-10 seconds for a game. Anything you have in your inventory will sell and will sell for ALOT. I made $20 million stubs from just selling extras or players I don’t use. The water feels great boys, Jump in!

I've seen people complain about Forza already. Shocking eh?

Yes, If you weren’t lying that would be shocking.

There was an exploit discovered…They posted a message saying there was an exploit discovered. They posted in game alerting everyone there were taking down the problem area to look into it. ONE DAY LATER they patched it, reopened it and then explained clearly exactly what transpired…Take notes SDS.

Haven’t been able to play 25 since yesterday as well. Guess it’s affecting all of their games.

Had already cut my playing time down a ton & now there’s apparently been another game breaking glitch that’s resulted in pretty much everyone having all the cards? Yeah I’m out…Just going to play 25 for the few times a week I feel like hitting baseballs. My team is already perfect, There won’t be any script cheaters & no pci shrinkage. Sad but It is what it is.

The best for offline grinders was back when they had Immortals. I think it was 2017 & earlier. Literally ALL the best cards were locked behind a grind wall of stats. There was NO payment option, They couldn’t be bought with stubs. Only way to get them was to get the needed stats & it truly was a grind - In the best possible way.

You should get 1000 stubs for a homer, 750 for a triple, 500 for a double…Win the game? 5000 stubs

Maybe not those amounts...but I like where you're going.

Maybe something like 40 per HR, 30 per triple, 20 per double, 10 per single, 15 per K, 500 for a win

The problem is it would be yet another thing bots could abuse if it were in-game stats that made the stubs, or even booster players. They just need a general overall stub boost at game completion and it would solve the problem.

At least 200 stubs for a 9-inning win, they’re so stingy with stub rewards even in the XP path it’s weird.

As it stands, 1500 buys a show pack worth (typically) 75-125 stubs. Then complete a game and get like 10 stubs at reward screen for 45 mins of your time.

I feel if they push more completed games it’ll help kill the rage quitters, plus give incentive for playing a full game of baseball

Bots, Cheaters, Scripts….I don’t think any of those are going away anytime soon. I think it’s time they just flood the game with stubs so everyone can actually finish the live series & make it a fun rewarding grind again. Right now the cheaters are getting away with it - That happens all the time in life. Instead of spending all the time & energy on something they can’t fix - Fix what you’re able to. Make the game FUN for all the regular normal players!

@Rhyno1986_XBL when that ‘something’ you get for getting lucky is worth 3000 stubs or whatever it doesn’t really register, but sure

The fact people on here complain about "the lack" of stubs prove they don't really play. You can go get this game today start a new account and spend 2 hours just doing programs and have a competitive team up to All-star or even HoF if you are decent. Complaining and comparing it ro a racing game while neglecting to mention that it's not like you start with the best cars in Forza and have to ALSO balance your upgrades and simply say you don't get enough to stay competitive is 100% disingenuous.

Don’t really play? Before Forza dropped, I had earned every pack from every program & mode in DD. I was still like a million stubs from completing live series. Only left to do would be to go full hamster on a wheel and keep playing the same mini seasons over and over and over and over again….That’s a terrible lack of content if you’re being required to either play 500 rounds of mini seasons or to be a fake stock trader 24/7 flipping for pennies. Flooding the game with earnable stubs is the only answer.

Then you are full of it. I did live series NMS and only about 89 pull I got was judge, never once flipped cards, and never went 10-0. You people complaining about lack of stubs and needing more stubs are disingenuous. You all just want MORE given to you and changing focus, instead of actually talking about REAL problems in this game. Like the fact it is completely RNG dependent and not consistent at all. The fact that SDS doesn't police or research cheating reports or put anti script software into there game. NO instead you cry about a fake problem that literally anyone who sat down and played for 2 hours would know is a false statement. I just played for 2 hours only ranked and went from 800 stubs to 20k. If I spent that same time on DQ or Mini seasons I'd be at 100+k.

We have just had different experiences I guess.

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.

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.

Lol this is a completely ignorant post about 2 completely different games. First off stubs for HR? Seriously, how would that even be a good idea? You'd just have people doing nothing but going in against the CPU on rookie and hitting tanks at Costco. This would effectively make EVERY single card more expensive. You'd be paying 50-100k for bronze cards. Next I just completely completed live series collection NMS. Only got lucky 1 pull with judge and collected him. You get sooooooo many packs from grinding it's not even funny. Did the new mural mini season on a 28 game 3 innings on All-star run and by the end had 200 different packs to open. So even if you pull nothing but silvers in those packs thats 5k stubs in just silver equipment and jerseys to sell. Then you end up with 12 ballin packs and get 1 low 400 stub gold oh another 5k just on those. And odds are you will get lucky and get something. So please stop with the complete disinformation, simply because you lack the information or ability to do the work.

Thanks Ramone.

Ramone hasn't called the shots in the last 3 games. But when he did, this game was great.

The new smart alek monikar is now "Thanks Ashley".

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!

@Onix_Savage22_PSN I would say go with 6. The scenery & graphics of Japan are just SO STUNNING.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN said:

@Dolenz_PSN is there a new one coming out? If so I won’t buy the one that’s on sale rn.

Yes - Forza Horizon 6…Premium is out now, Standard drops on Tuesday.

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

lol of course they do an early stub sale to drive up prices even more

Literally just played a cheater. I was up 5-0 and he was swinging at EVERYTHING & getting shutout. Then comes THE PAUSE in the 6th inning. The rest is history lol. Couldn’t get him out & he mercied me. I think that’s what the majority of the cheaters do - Try to win on their own but then turn to their program to bail them out when they’re cooked.

i'm teetering on this as well. I'll never be like....GOOD BY SDS....i'm just not putting games on hold anymore that i want to play because i feel like i'll fall behind. Its started with RE, i've been playing more and more of D4, Forza next week, GTA 6, the blood of dawnwalker, Starfox remake looks good. I also need to play the first 2 entries of the FF7 remake. I'll play the show when i can or better yet when i want.

THIS…DD used to be worth putting everything else on the back burner. It’s just not anymore.
