Only watch Cbrev. Everyone else is an idiot. I hate Shelfy and Fuzzy's faces. Koogs is fat slob. All the other guys are boring and mornons. AJ has literally the worst commentary ever.

Well, aren't you just a fount of non-judgmental positivity. 🙄

You could have just left it with I watch Cbrev instead of insulting every other content creator.

Not really shocking considering who posted it

BR Rewarts Trevor Story at SS, Arenado at 3B - what a combo

I wouldn't wish "going to play Madden" on my worst enemy. Those guys at Tiburon/EA haven't made a good football game in over a decade.

I've played this game for several years on diamond dynasty so I save and invest a lot of stubs. Those copious amounts of diamond upgrades help me make more stubs than before. I just got him today. Too late to regret right?

What is the honest review on him? It feels like every Youtuber is click baiting with "this is the BEST CARD in the game"...His small strike zone makes it actually harder for me to track pitches since the release is below is eye level, like Albies.

Yeah I don't do well with the short guys.. Judge either for that matter.

I will never have Judge in my lineup because he is like Paul Bunyan. I can't put anyone above 6'4" because of this. Edward C. would just [censored] on that strike zone all day. Outlier sinker away while protecting up in in sinkers is just insane.

@lord-oimak_xbl said in I appreciate players that...:

Don’t forget the bunters that annoys me. Play bunt defense but they are safe because of an animation

I can see why this is annoying. Bunt defense has worked for me probably 80% of the time, which is ok for me honestly. I think MLB 17 or 18, bunting was putrid. Anyone fast can get on base pretty much.

Can you repeat the part where you said all about the things? 🤔

No idea because it should just be me ranting and complaining about how shitty everything is. I didn't win so everything is bad. bad. bad bad

@pennstatefencer said in Dashboarding in BR and Events game:

I just played 2 event games as a warm up since I haven't really played much in a few days. In the first game I immediately noticed all speed players and thought to myself "here it comes". I get Turner out, and then Puason bloops in a single. He immediately takes 3 extra steps and prepares to steal. I pick off to first, he takes off, I throw to second and my fielder has the ball when he is only 3/4 of the way to 2nd. Somehow he evades the tag and is safe. BS. Next batter, he tried to bunt with Soriano and I just know he is going to try to go 2nd to home, so I ignore the runner at first and throw home. Sure enough he goes home and is out by a mile. This time the tag is made. Then he does the same 3 step lead with Soriano and takes off, but this time my fielder makes the tag and he is out. Bottom of the first I get a single with Ohtani, and then an absolute moonshot by Trea Turner. Instant dashboard.

Next game was pretty normal. Top of the second my opponent hits a homerun with Castellanos, and I respond with one by Schwarber in the bottom of the second. Bottom of the third he brings in 99 Rivera and Trea Turner is up. I set up inside because I have a feeling he's gonna try to catch me looking on a cutter inside. I'm ready for it and hit another moonshot on the first pitch. You all know what comes next. Dashboard...

So Turner lost 2 homeruns in about 20-30 minutes, but that's what happens in events. While it's nice to use players who don't normally make a ranked squad and work on stats, since there are no consequences for losses people will act like clowns. There was also some guy on here a few days ago claiming his dashboarded homerun counted because the screen froze up a bit and he saw the runner make it all the way home. Same thing happened to me in the second game. Checked the box score, no homerun. So that definitely is not fixed.

On pickoffs, I just picked up game a couple weeks ago. This is definitely not like last years version. Half the time I go for a pick off the pitcher doesnt actually throw it or throws with horrible accuracy. Sometimes it's not even a pickoff but the throwing meter pops up which always turns into an error for me. What is the proper way of picking off in this game because I am obviously doing something wrong. Last year I never had any issues with this.

I lived in Seattle for a couple years, not a ton of good baseball weather, but its a great park to catch a game in!

That is the big myth of Seattle, the weather is amazing and it really doesn't rain that much. Add those 9:45 PM sunsets in Aug while standing in Lookout Landing looking out at Elliot Bay are incredible and hard to find a better place in baseball! Been a rough 20 years, but the M's are playing well and they have some great young players.

I remember that Phineas & Ferb episode, "Meapless in Seattle" in which the gang goes there to look for a cuteness potion. Seattle is in heavy rain with ancient coffee cups in the ground 😆

@tngu834_psn said in Making STUBS: Bryan Reynolds at below sell now price?:

I don't know what is going on here but the sell orders are less than 400, and it has been executing. Maybe this is something that will help people make more stubs. Think of the next silver to gold and place alot of buy prices well below 1000 and you make like 3X profit. Don't remove the buy orders. I did not do this because it seems like a glitch and somewhat unfair.

Reynolds as an investment to be upgraded versus the downside is great. He is going for the "sell now" price, which means if you place an order for 1000 stubs and he craps the bed, you can quick sell and get 1000. I think he is top 15 in WAR this year for position players.

Yep, it holds. Been doing it all year. For whatever reason, I think there is a fair percentage, maybe majority that do not know that you can quick sell and they will always do the sell now. NO idea why.

Of course the reverse is also true, if the player does not upgrade then you will have overspent for that card as it will sell off quick, albeit not buy much.

Only other downside is for the very obvious upgrades, you will see a very long line to make any reasonable profit. It can take some time for the sell orders to come through, which is fine, however it does hold up your stubbs so you cannot make investments elsewhere that might give you a better return.

For the most part this is a fine strategy.

It's still up!

Ohtani took as long as he did because he is a pitcher in game. How do ppl not understand this?

You think Ohtani is a pitcher? That is just their set default that they should fix. Why are you comparing him to another pitcher? You must be living under a rock. 80% of the WAR in his career in the MLB is from hitting.

Which is why his LS card… that is a PITCHER… would take longer to go Diamond.

If his LS was an OF he would’ve been Diamond within the first couple of updates like Vlad. Vlad went Diamond initially because he switched from 3B to 1B. Same thing would’ve happened with Ohtani if they switched his position.

Ohtanis insane hitting doesn’t translate to a boosted pitcher card. Maybe understand how ratings effect certain positions.

You obviously have problems reading... When you think of Ohtani, you think of the lights out ace or the insane hitter? He is a hitter first that can pitch. His card should reflect that. He has pitched a grand total of 67 innings this year but has had more than 300 ABs. The ABs are very close to what Vlad has as well. Numbers seem to be difficult for you too.

So you should have indicated that he should have been a hitter instead of a pitcher in your opening post. You clearly have problems with general communication. You can probably take some remedial distance education courses to help with that.

This is the summary:
Me: Why isn't Ohtani diamond base on upgrades?
You: Because he is a pitcher DUH? Why are you so thick?
Me: I think based on statistics he is a hitter first.
You: You need to be better at communication.

Ok man you win this argument. Have a good day man. You didn't find anything wrong with my Kyle Gibson post too right? He has taken a few ABs in his career so maybe he didn't get upgraded because he could be a hitter.

What they are saying, and now I will say, is that it does not matter whether you or I consider him a pitcher or an outfielder/hitter. What matters is that, as far as SDS is concerned, he is a pitcher first in MLB The Show. He could have 100 HRs at the end of the season but that won't boost his card at all if he is a Pitcher as far as the game is concerned.

He's had a POTM outfield card that was a diamond and I have little doubt that we will see several other higher rated version of him this year.

Either extreme rural areas just got internet, or the player base has expanded dramatically to new clientele. Some of these new users are a hoot! Thanks SDS, it brightens my day.

Gausman will more than likely go diamond in 2 or 4 weeks, he has been to good. Also i really want him to since I bought a lot at quicksell value.

@zalot____psn said in The VERY early roster update investment prediction:

This ones going into the cringe compilation, thanks friend.

Cringe?? Did your mom finally let you out of the basement??? Half life refers to decay in mathematics. You can Google GARCH model. It is how people do statistical regression models to predict future performance. Half life is how people weigh current performance versus previous performance. For example, if my half life was 1 year for hitting... My hitting stats for this year would count 50% (hence "half") towards the weight of the calculation and the previous year would be 25%.

Pitchers are tired so that has an effect in BR

@ch-76-1908_psn said in Pack Odds and expected returns:

I've had absolutely incredible pack luck this year. Big reason I'm done w collections, POM, and Jackie. I've worked the market quite a bit too tho

Yeah, I don't have Jackie but I'm not going to pay out the stubs for the 42s I'm missing. I'm just going to wait until they start handing out the pre-order 42s, in conquest, inning programs, etc. Not working the market this year, so I have to be very selective in how I spend my stubs, as I will have the big collect (Aaron?).

@kovz88_psn said in Early investment ideas gold and diamond watch:

What I usually do is look at players with high fielding ratings because they will be the easiest to upgrade if they are hitting well. That's how I hit on Wong last update, doesn't take much for gold/diamond fielders to get a quick upgrade

Yea this is good. For pitchers I look at WAR since it is a good quick filter and then all the other stats and compare it to their current per 9 ratings in the game. I was able to get a bunch of Woodruff for 1200-1500 range.
