I’m interested to hear off any other European players this year as I play in the UK and haven’t had any server issues so far. Just for context the servers have been an absolute dumpster fire every other year.

Sold 3 of the hardest pieces of the collection to start on the collection. Solid strategy
Sadly this is how financially stupid this community is. You think having 700k locked away in collections not being used to flip is FASTER than selling those cards and flipping with all of the stubs put together until your done. It’s not and never will be.
It’s not financial stupidity. Some people, myself included, get absolutely no enjoyment playing the market and flipping cards.

@halfbutt_psn said in Daily moment:
I know many of you can do these with your eyes closed, but if Sleggers starts Mookie Betts off with three balls in the dirt followed by one high fastball out of the zone, then a slider, one more time, I am going to lose it.
Why do they call this veteran difficulty and then jack the sliders? Why not just make it AS or HOF if you want it to take a bunch of tries?
/rant.
I get this argument for a hit a home run style moment but it really isn’t an issue for this one.

Honestly if they’re skill involved keep it. I’d rather have this than 20’s gravity ball down the middle pitches.
I mean is it really skill? Seems kind of gimmicky to me. At least on the old 2K games the gesture corresponds to the wind up and release of the pitch. From what I see in practice you do the gesture and then just watch the pitcher throw dots.
Yes it is a skill, the gesture also corresponds to the release to, you don't just gesture and the pitcher pitches.
I respectfully disagree. Something needs to be tweaked. Shouldn’t be able to put it on the exact corner consistently.
There is skill involved, you need to do 3 things to have a perfect release, and even with a perfect release you can still miss the exact spot. So you aim for the corner, get a perfect release, and still throw a ball just outside the zone.
Especially in an online environment with latency being a factor, its not as easy as it seems. If you master it, it's greatly beneficial for sure. That's no reason to remove it or to tweak it. I prefer this over the meatballs down the middle on good input. I don't care if you paint corners, I'll pick up on your tendencies and punish you for being predictable. That's also how baseball works.
I personally think there isn’t much skill involved and that pin point is easier to get good input on than any other setting.
Yesterday I got a perfect release with a 77% accuracy on the gesture which is just crazy to me. I’d say I get a “perfect” on 80-90% in game but the real issue is where those 10-20% that aren’t perfect end up. My misses all end up in the dirt or so far outside the zone that I never have any fear that when I miss my pitch it’s going to hang. If I see I messed up the gesture enough where I can’t get a perfect, I just make sure I throw it late and to the side and it goes safely in the dirt. Then I’m ready to paint with my next pitch.
In my opinion they need to do 2 things:
-
Greatly tighten up the ranges for “perfect” input. I’d say no less than 92% accuracy on all pitch types.
-
Get rid of instant feedback on the gesture that lets you know before you ever start the pitch if you need to purposely throw late or early to make sure the ball sails way out of the zone to avoid hanging pitches.
92% is way too high of a number man. Currently its 85% for a fastball and 75% for everything else. I'd be okay with them upping the 75% to 80%, but 92% is too much of an increase.
Idk, I think I’d just like to see it require more skill. I thought pin point was going to be difficult but it feels just so easy at times.
Granted, I’ve played this game way too much and been using it since day 1 basically so maybe it’s not as easy for others yet. But a few months down the line and I’d imagine people are going to get used to it and never miss.
What makes me say that these numbers you proposed are too high, is because of the speed of the motion that varies per pitcher and also the speed of the release which does make it challenging to throw perfects from one pitcher to the next. Of course if you always use the same guys, you get accustomed to their motions better and you will make less mistakes.
But let's not forget where we came from in previous years, that even a perfect release could result in a meatball. If I would record my gameplay, I think I'd have a few hundred hours of gameplay where the horrendous pitching was the cause of me (almost) blowing games. Like I said before, I don't mind if you paint corners for 9 innings straight. I'll pick up on your tendencies and lurk in that spot where you'll try to beat me and I'll punish you. That's also baseball, it requires some more intelligence and less reactionary play.
Totally agree with you here, you just have to be more patient as a hitter and learn rather than waiting for the AI deciding when your opponent needs a hand.
I still put the odd ball down the middle with pinpoint but the difference now is that I know I’ve [censored] up the input when it happens so deserve to be punished.

@t-rox_09_mlbts said in took 2 42 series by mistake..:
I created a thread about this earlier today. Uts a total waste and a problem. The cards are not sellable and not able to be exchanged. Its a flaw that we can even select the same card twice. I submitted a ticket days ago and have seen others on here complaining about the same thing. I have the stubs for the market cards for Jackie to be unlocked but by the time they fix this I will probably not even want Jackie anymore. @Collin_SDS_PSN please pass this on to the proper team members. I opened a pack and every card read "new" even though I already had a max Muncy. So now I have two Muncy amd two Santander. @Collin_SDS_PSN
It’s pretty crazy that we even have an option to pick the same player in a no sell pack. Surely they thought this would happen.

@blitz77tw_psn said in so if you finished 1st inning program - where does xp go?:
There are so many things SDS COULD have done to prevent this issue from even being an issue that it kind of annoys me but with all the other issues ( Server mainly but mostly fixed now it seems ) was not worth getting too upset with it. HOWEVER with the 2nd inning program out tomorrow i will be curious to see if they do something to address it going forward.
How is it an issue? If you can just let yourself pretend that XP is stars this year then it will make sense that even last year you stopped getting stars at a certain point every inning. Its NO different at all. And let me guess, you're gonna bring up the XP path from last year, right? Well here's my answer to that. Go look at the XP reward path for last year and then go look at the new inning program from this year. If they continue to give the same or better rewads EVERY single inning, we will get way more than the XP path ever gave. Way way way more. Give it up about the XP path. It's not as rewarding as the new inning programs. Anyone with a half a brain can comprehend it.

There's 3 points to this point 1) I pulled trout and lost him due to server crash, I'm Missing Mike Yastrezmski 42 series card too
2) I'm Gerrit Cole and Trout away from completing the collections and 3) I am done with Team Affinity completely and don't know what to do.So basically when I pulled trout I had Arenado and Mookie then after I lost trout I had pulled Acuna, then bellinger and saved up for Degrom and It kinda looks Sus but I never sold him so I know that for a fact. But Will they even investigate that properly weeks later?
2 and 3) I basically completed the game and have no idea what to do now someone give me ideas.
So you're bringing up weeks later that you lost Trout due to a server disruption? Weeks ago? Did you put in a ticket or mention it then? Honestly just asking. No d bagness here
He's complained about it on here before. This is the dude that made the post that the game should be taken off the store and SDS was intentionally making him lose. Idk how reliable this guy is lol
He's obviously a DD player, sometimes with these people you just have to nod and keep walking.
what does this even mean. Theres a ton of DD players, not all of them are fools or d bags
Haha, they are DD players..meaning the majority of them are fantasy baseball video game players not actual baseball fans. Real baseball fans are the ones that play Franchise with realistic sliders.
Wait who are you to dictate whos a real baseball fan? Also what about the players that do both. Either youre a troll, an idiot or tried playing DD and got your [censored] handed to you
Haha, I said majority not all of them...also I've never ever played a DD game in my life..isn't there like a default settings you casuals play at?..like default pitch speeds?. I've seen a few of those on Youtube, that pitch speed is slower than molasses...If I can't play on Legend hitting/pitching with pitch speeds at 10 I would fall asleep.
Good for you but who cares how you like to play? Let people play how they want to play. What they chose to play says nothing about them as people yet most of your posts criticize DD players. Whats with your fascination with people that play DD, Its weird af my guy.
If we were all pro players like me the world would be a very boring place .
There it is. This sentence tells me everything I need to know. Imagine being elitist about what game mode people play in a video game. Go outside man, there are more important things other than MLB the show franchise lol. Im done talking to you narcissistic [censored].
If you don’t look at him for long enough he gets confused and goes away.

@tarne67_psn said in Dear SDS:
First off, I want to say thank you for the 16 years I have enjoyed playing The Show, except maybe the start of 2018 when we couldn’t choose our starting team in RTTS. There have been some ups and downs but I have always enjoyed it.
However, I think this might be my last year. Not threatening or anything, it just appears I’m getting to old for the game being almost a 6o yr. old gamer. I could never use the pci. My mind only has enough time to figure out timing and whether it’s a strike or not and sometimes not even enough time for that. I have never been able to use it. So, I can never do the online missions or mission difficulty beyond all-star because the pci shrinks so much. I am not much of a DD player being mostly a rtts player but I do like to do a lot of the missions, conquest, and event stuff but too much of it involves playing online and I can’t do it. I just get creamed by everyone and can never advance I do get addicted to opening packs lol, probably nostalgia from doing it so much when I was a kid. I would never ask for a game to be dumbed down and I am not. Just pointing out my own personal reasons.
But, on to the main issue.
I love RTTS. Every year I would create 3-4 players. All with different looks, names, personalities etc. I always did a power guy, a contact speedster, a starting pitcher, and sometimes a closer. I enjoyed developing them through their career and establishing them as the top in their position. But you have taken all this away. I can’t even make one with a different name or change how they look or anything due to your push towards making everyone play DD. As a RTTS player I still bought stubbs because I wanted the gear for them and like I said, I get addicted to opening packs. There was no need for this push. And speaking of pushing, I wish the game would stop asking me if I wanted to be a two position player. Leave me alone and let me play the game I want to play. Sorry, little rant there. I just get frustrated when I ask myself, Is anyone at SDS a true gamer or have they all forgotten what it’s like to be a gamer and enjoy playing, creating your character, and developing them? You have taken all this away from me and made it all very generic and because of that I do not think I can continue. I will just go back a few years and play that one over and over again.
I really doubt this not will fall upon any ears or if any would agree with me, but it’d my 2 cents.
In addition, just some side notes..
You need a way to be able to call your agent instead of waiting for his yearly one call.
I do not understand this double stat thing and see no purpose for it. Why are they 30-50 but then on my card everything goes to 100 and there seems to be no correlation. 40 speed might be 93 speed but 40 contact might only be 75 contact. It makes zero sense.
Check swings, annoying. I mash the button and get nothing but a check swing, usually only on curveballs and change ups. Add in feature to disable them. I like the realism but when it’s not working its needs to be able to be shut off.Thank you,
My man I don’t think you’ll find many here arguing with you on this one.

That would involve communicating with the community which they seem to have forgotten how to do.

@halfbutt_psn said in My theory on difficulties in the game:
It just occurred to me that the reason I am so puzzled about what the difference between the difficulties is that... there is none.
Aside from PCI size and pitch speed, they seem to be all the same.
All you have to do is face the mini-boss battle with Rob Dibble on “rookie” to see this in action.
Sure, there seems to be different slider settings from mode to mode, but I don’t think these have anything to do with rookie/veteran/HOF/legend.
Thoughts?
But the PCI size and pitch speed is what affects the difficulty, what else would you expect to change? (Ps. I’m not asking that sarcastically I am genuinely curious)
Well, for pve games, smarter AI, Better pitching decisions, etc
Yeah I get that now, I’m a dafty.

@halfbutt_psn said in Why is Danny hitting?:
Poor Danny Duffy! He is busy trying to get eight strikeouts for his potm moment and then he has to go grab a bat and face Matt Boyd.
And all this time he thought he was in the American League pitching at Comerica Park...
At least he gets an easy K when Boyd comes up to the plate.
I really wish they would sort that out, it’s good that we don’t have to run the bases anymore but I could really do without having to hit when it’s not needed.
