    HUGE WIN for SDS today
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    Like everyone else, I've been extremely frustrated with the server issues since the launch of 21.

    IMO, today SDS delivered a huge WIN for our community. They explain the issues and gave us a sincere apology. The Creative Director looked exhausted in the stream as he thanked us for our support and candor. They're owning it, and working hard to fix it. Unanticipated problems with a huge expansion like this year is understandable, albeit, frustrating.

    Thank you SDS for your honesty, sincerity, and hard work in getting your game where you want it to be. I'm looking forward to the rest of the 21 season!!


  • Dear SDS, Communication is KEY
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    Just tried logging in for some morning play only to discover the servers are down...again.

    I get it. A new platform with Xbox, thousands of new players, cross-play and cross-progression, and I'm sure a ton of other new, different, and unforeseen challenges have popped up.

    I think the community would be a lot more forgiving, (most of us anyway,) if there were transparent communication detailing the problems, and the solutions you're working on. Instead, we get silence, or worse, you post a tweet promoting the new BR rewards?!?

    This makes you look either ignorant or unsympathetic to whatever issues the players of your community are dealing with. It's been said a million times on this forum, but I'll say it again...People spend a lot of their money and time playing this game. That kind of investment creates a degree of "ownership" to the game. People aren't simply grinding for cards, we're investing our free time and disposable income. We feel an attachment to our teams, inventory, accomplishments, and growth as players.

    SIMPLY communicate to us. Tell us you're aware of the issue, that you're working on it. Tell us why something happens and what you're doing to prevent it in the future. Anything is better than sticking your head in the sand and waiting for storm to pass.


  • C’mon SDS!!! Enough already!
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    In an event game playing an Xbox player. His record is 14-50. His team logo is male genitalia, that appears to be squirting. Really???? How does this get past the censors??? I’m far from a prude, but I do have you g kids that love playing this game.

    Anyway, I hit a double. He steps off the Mound twice, then throws a pick-off to 2B. Game freezes.

    Awesome game!!!! I am no longer putting ANY money into this sh!t show. In fact, that’s the new name for this game. MLB the Sh!t Show!!

    Fix your game.


  • Problems with the TSN Website
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    For the past week or so logging into my Dashboard on The Show Nation website has been very frustrating. Getting into the Dashboard is a 50/50 chance, and most times when I click on the "Squads" tab I get knocked off again.

    Gettting to the market, the shop, and other sections of the site seem to work fine, but when I try to get to my team things go south.

    Is anyone else having these issues?


  • Dads playing The Show
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    I'm a father of two great boys who LOVE everything baseball. We all play the show together, (on our own accounts.). It's a great game with a great community of players! I also remember the old school baseball games. I remember being blown away hearing the umpire call balls and strikes on Intellivision, which was between Nintendo and Atari. Gen-X gamers are OGs of the gaming world, LOL.


  • Please Speed-Up Conquest Sims
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    First of all, LOVE this game!! 20 was my 1st year and so far 21 does not disappoint, (for the most part.)

    Conquests aren't my favorite, but I get why it's there and I enjoy all the hidden goodies like everyone else. IMO, the biggest change that would make grinding Conquest maps WAY more fun and efficient, would be to speed-up the simulations. I feel like I'm spending most of my time watching numbers shrinking on the screen and banging the square button to get past the AI moves than I am playing baseball.


  • 99 Ty Cobb is THE best card in the 8th program
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    Hi Everyone!

    I'm new to TheShow20, this is my first year playing and I've drank gallons of the kool-aid!

    I don't have time to play as much online as I'd like because I spend most of my time in the game grinding for cards.

    Once I reached 300 stars in the 8th inning program I quickly chose Kershaw and he's great. Then I did the Conquest Extreme map and hit the pack-luck lottery! I scored tons of diamonds that I already had and found myself with around half a million stubs.

    Really wanting a solid catcher I bought Pudge, and he absolutely rakes! Then because I had two of the inning bosses I went ahead and bought Cobb to get the voucher for the 9th inning. (I was able to buy both cards for WELL under the current market value too, so I feel like it was a win-win.)

    I put Cobb in for Larry Walker, a REALLY tough choice, but I figured it would just be temporary. My outfield before Cobb was/is 99 Trout, 99 Mantle, and 99 Walker, (as I mentioned earlier, I love to grind!) IMO, Ty Cobb is THE best card in the pack and THE best lead-off hitter in the game. 125 contact on both sides and 99 speed makes him a singles-base stealing maniac! his 90 power on both sides with the Bomber quirk gives him enough pop too.

    The 8th inning has the best bosses so far, IMO. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts??

    I'm still on the fence about putting Walker back because he's amazing too. It's a fun dilema to have!


  • Is Honus Wagner not good?
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    I think Wagner is great! He's an infield version of Ty Cobb. Unfortunately, I agree with the other posts, there's a lot of great options for his eligible positions. For me, he's primarily a bench bat that I'll rotate in for fun. But when I need a fast base runner or a clutch hit, Wagner or Cobb are my guys.


  • PLEASE SDS
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    IMO, the real purpose of these cards and the "Run It Back" program, is to help people complete the collections for Mantle and Trout. It also helps players that are joining the game late in the cycle build a competitive team fairly quickly. Personally I think it's a great idea to help players that might otherwise put the game down until next spring stay engaged, which keeps the player pool healthy for us addicts that'll play right up until we install TheShow21.

    REALLY hoping we get a Joe Mauer!!!

    @TheTyGuy05 said in Kirby Yates:

    He was a reward in the little general event I believe.

    That is correct, i spent 75k in stubs on him and he has not disappointed. Another excellent bullpen arm.

    Nice. I spent alil more but I love the card are so he was a must. His splitter is filthy but if they don’t bite on it your in for a rough ride

    @lazy_toast, truer words have never been spoken. His splitter mixed with his fastball is brutal. But if you're opponent gets a read on the splitter, you'd better get another arm going in your pen. Overall, he's been lights out for me.


  • Waiting for Sims in Conquest
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    PLEASE SDS, please tweak the Conquest maps so the simulated games go faster. I don't need to watch the fan numbers shrink on the screen, there's no added drama to that. Please just simply tell us if we won or loss.

    Also, hitting the square-button to bypass the computer AI doesn't really do anything. I'm banging on the square-button like a monkey trying to get a food pellet but the AI simulation continues. We don't need to see the computer attack other computer owned tiles.

    I actually enjoy doing the different conquest maps, I think it's a great way to complete player missions offline while still earning XP, and who doesn't like getting free packs and stubs?!?

    If these tweaks can be made, I think it would make the conquest maps much more fun for everyone.


  • Contact Swing is Ruining the Game
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    Just lost a BR game to an opponent who hit 3 HRs back-to-back-to-back with bad timing and even worse PCI placement. After the game he messaged me to tell me he hit his HRs on contact swings. He wasn’t trying to be a [censored] about it, he was trying to “let me in” on the hack.

    So much hard work has been put into this game, yet SDS will let this go for this long??? I don’t get it. This topic has been on this forum for at least a couple of weeks. The content creators are talking about it, and it seems it’s all the rage now.

    PLEASE FIX THIS SDS!!!


  • Suggestion: Make inning program rewards paths LONGER
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    SDS drops great content every week to keep players engaged and playing daily, so why have the inning program stop at 650k when so many people have it finished 2 to 3 weeks before the new inning drops??

    I’d love to see the inning programs be much longer. Make them a million-XP points to finish with a 2nd boss choice pack at the end??

    Just a thought.


  • FOD Event question
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    You’re not limited to those two teams. You can also use Legend cards, and (I think) one other “type” of card. When you’re building your team, any players that are qualified, will be in the inventory for you to select by position.


  • Question from a newbie
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    Hey everyone!!

    I just started playing MLB The Show this year and I’m loving it! I have a question about diamond dynasty if you don’t mind...

    When I play DD I usually just play ‘regular season’ but I’m at the ‘Pennant Race’ level. Should I be choosing the same level of my ranking??

    Thanks!


  • Ruth Program
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    Ruth is definitely worth the grind. I finished everything in about a week, only playing a couple of hours a day. I only had to replay a couple of games, and the others were fun, exciting games for the most part. Good luck!


  • Is MVP Trout a top 5 OF option?
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    First, CONGRATS on getting the MVP Trout! I was able to get him too, and like you, I didn't think I'd be able to do it. He's the best card in the game, IMO. My outfield is Trout, Mantle, and Walker. I also have Cobb. There are a TON of amazing outfielders in the game right now and Trout remains at the top for me.


  • RS Matching Idea from a Newbie
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    Hello Everyone!!

    I'm in my first year playing MLB The Show and I LOVE this game! Thank you to the community for helping new players in this forum, much appreciated!

    This being my first year playing, I'm obviously not that good. I love grinding off-line but I also enjoy playing ranked seasons and the events.

    So here's my issue/suggestion....

    The opponent matching, as far as I can tell, matches opponents by what your rank is. But so many opponents quit by the 3rd inning, I'm not gaining much experience or at-bats to try and get better in my online play. So by the time I reach the 600 rank, I'm matched with opponents that are WAY better than I am regardless of our ranking being close together.

    What if the matching including your rank, but it also factored in your team batting average, win/loss record, and maybe your overall team rating?? I think the more variables that can be included in the matching algorithm might create better competition and better game play.

    I anxious to hear your thoughts! Does this idea make any sense to you? What would you do to make the opponent matching better, or do you think it's great as is??

    Thanks again!


  • Have you ever...
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    I played against Koogs during the event for Goose. He destroyed me of course. But I was happy to strike him out once and get an XBH, LOL.


  • Help with Miggy Home Run Moment?
  • Thebeev718_PSNT Thebeev718_PSN

    There's 3 moments for Miggy that are single at-bats. I found them to be fairly easy. I ALWAYS take the 1st pitch, then work the count so the pitcher is forced to throw a decent strike. Unfortunately, I get walked a fair amount in these moments too which is very frustrating. You'll get there! Just keep swinging!

    I got hung up on the 3-XBH in one game moment. That was a tall order for me. It took me at least a dozen tries.

    Good Luck!!!
