FOTF Trout slams for me. Dude mashes.

Is he slamming or mashing? And why is he so violent?

He doesn’t rake as well does he?!?

Does he rip like Larkin?

Does he slap like Will Smith?

I didn’t know the dodgers catcher was slappin da bass.

Getting ready for the bunts

About to see a lot of Kenny Lofton in this event

Used him during my last mini season run. He hits bombs!

Probably just a cap on power attribute level. Focus on contact people. Now we’ll see if home runs are still the only way to score!!

For the CPU matchup, most of the responses have this accurate. You have entire LS collection done, best cards in the game, and in conquest you can’t take on the #1 pitcher for 1 inning? Obviously v CPU full 9 that changes, it still not a real reason to not use Randy. I’d use him every chance I had; I’m down to 5 diamonds (ohtani, acuna, burnes, hader, arenado) and once that’s done no CPU team will be safe!

@tonythetiger2k16 said in Who misses Conquest with Player Missions or even misses Conquest Extreme?:

Last time I seen both of those was in 18. Where within Conquest you had to get "X" amount of K's or W's with a pre-determined Pitcher or "X" amount of Hits, Doubles, HR's, R's, RBI's, BB's or SB's with a pre-determined Hitter. Then after you completed the entire Nation of Baseball Map, you earned a Voucher to unlock Conquest Extreme which was the Nation of Baseball Map over again, however with turn based missions which can only be achieved by playing strongholds on All-Star or even HoF due to not having enough fans to attack for it to be on Vet or Rookie.

Both of these things added an extra element & challenge that SDS veered away from in these last 4 years by instead giving a variety of different shaped maps & themes. I feel SDS can do both. With the Nation of Baseball Map they can change the Mission Goals on it every month & give different rewards every month. As well make it able to unlock Extreme & that also giving different rewards. This will make the replay of Nation of Baseball Map more appealing & motivating. As of right now the repeatable Show Pack Bundle mission is not enough to grind out that entire map over & over.

SDS can still do all the different shaped & theme Maps as they been doing which is great. But would be nice if they added more to the Nation of Baseball Map to make it wanted to be replayed.

For people that enjoy conquest + the US map specifically, further mission/rewards wouldn’t really incentivize them further. It’s really only a “nice to have” for a specific group. With the regular addition of new conquest maps that satisfies the function of new missions + rewards.

I do the US map purposefully once each year and then popped into games for small/quick stats as needed. Mini seasons has definitely replaced the US + conquest maps for me; similar play time and better rewards in seasons, plus CPU lineup diversity makes it much better offline mode.

Showdown mandatory to complete SMH

LOL....he'll sit there along with all the jersey programs. What a dud

Believe in years prior they have added missions to programs like this, so may be an opportunity down the road.

Their approach is allowing everyone to earn every card, so wouldn’t expect them to limit it to this single pathway.

@chrono_omega_psn said in Foul ball nerf is needed:

Throwing slurves down and in to a lefty fouls off multiple and very early 4 times in a row till my filth pitch goes back in the zone because the par gravity pitch then rips a double off the wall then very early bloop to score the runner who ripped a double. It’s like clock work in this game. I know this is the event but it shouldn’t matter what game mode it is, if you don’t touch the ball with the pci you shouldn’t even make contact.

Counter argument: this is a forced result due to spamming of pitches. Believe SDS was also trying to combat the spamming of pitches (given the high sinker debacle, though that also is not itself remedied….even cpu burns me on them!) so while you may have the good control, etc, throwing the same pitch multiple times in a row, and certainly in the same spot, would lead to widening of target zone and eventual missed pitch spot.

Now, I’m not taking away from the standalone foul tip argument (curve literally bouncing that you’re early on and still get a piece of….), but specifically as it relates to spamming of pitches.

With all due respect, I think that’s a load of BS

If my opponent can’t hit a certain pitch in a certain location, why would you not attack that location with said pitch? That’s literally pitching

Why would I throw another pitch in another location knowing my opponent struggles with a different pitch and location combination

No way should we be penalized with a loss of control because my opponent keeps swinging away at a certain pitch

I do recall SDS mentioning a loss of control for throwing successive secondary pitches over and over and that’s catering to casuals at its finest

I think there’s a difference between spamming a pitch and targeting an opponents weakness (which is obviously part of the game). Same pitch, same spot, multiple times in a row for a single at bat, for most/every batter (last years high sinker!): spamming. Using the slow + low inside slider as a punch out pitch across multiple batters: targeting weakness.

Serious question here!!!! If i pulled Trout and decided i wanted to do something nice like make an announcement for a certain day/time i will sell him for 100k is that market manipulation?

You couldn't do that if you wanted to. You would need dozens of Trouts to sell in order to get it down that low.

? Wouldn't a 100k post be the lowest and if time/date were set and lets say 100 people went to market to wait to see trout @ 100k? Make it like a first come first serve deal?

You can’t sell anything below the highest posted buy order. So you’d have to go through all the $300k sell orders to get to post at $100k.

@tonythetiger2k16 said in Why did they downgrade Turner and Soto so fast?:

Dante Bichette was a huge HR & RBI Machine Monster when he played. But he hit very low for average, strike out more then the league average & his fielding was horrible & his base running was a nightmare. I'm not saying Soto & Turner are like him. All I am saying that there is a lot of different things that goes into how & why a card goes up or down in overall rank & with attributes.

Go to YouTube & see these MLBTS streamers talking about Gold to Diamond or Sliver to Gold upgrades. They get it right about 50% of the time with thier picks However how & why they say a player will be upgraded or downgraded is what you need to hear. They break it down with the players real MLB stats within certian catagories that will effect & influence their upgrade/downgrade. This is what you need to hear & see to get better insight on this.

Getting advice from a streamer on upgrades? And they have a 50% success rate? Lololololol. It's not rocket science when it comes to upgrades and downgrades.

Yeah I’m sure guys that have been watching/playing baseball since they were eight years old need to hear some dipshit streamer’s opinion.

Most of the kids streaming probably can’t even bench press the bar.

Depends, how many beers are on this bar???

@oreorockstar_mlbts said in One win shy:

Ehh, it’s a 10 pack of likely bronze and silver players. I wouldn’t give it another thought

Pretty sure trout is guaranteed in that pack….

If being ahead in the count leads to opponent home runs, then logically being BEHIND in the count would not. I say you start a game and get everyone to 2-0 to start, and then see what happens.

@aam34_psn said in Favorite LS swing this year?:

Looking to change up the squad and get rid of swings that don't work for me. Whos worth looking at or buying?? LF, 1ST, RF, C are the positions i may change. Or any position as I may take a look at their swing. Thanks

Soto always

Soto was my first P5 this year. Likely gets replaced at some point and then it becomes a challenge as LH off the bench. Devers is first off currently and destroys everything consistently. I’ll likely stick with the homer selection, but I’ll question it.

@ncstatehokie_psn said in If you had $1M and HAD to bet...:

If I had a million here is a sample of what I'd do:

1. buy you a house
2. buy you furniture for your house-Maybe a nice chesterfield or an ottoman
3. A nice reliant automobile
4. I'd build a tree fort in the yard-put a little tiny fridge In there somewhere with some little pre-wrapped sausages and things
5. buy a fur a coat
6. buy an exotic pet- like a llama or an emu
7. buy you John Merrick's remains
8. Buy some really expensive ketchups
9. buy a green dress
10. I'd buy some art possibly A Picasso or a Garfunkel
11. Last but not least I'd buy a monkey

Not 2 chicks at the same time?!?
