I'm not retired. But I am up there in age & easily older then probably 80% of MLBTS players. I'm hitting 51yo this year. Been playing video games going back to the Quarter Arcades & the Atari 2600. Played on every system since then (with exception of PS5 & Xbox Series X ... still waiting for the price to drop down much more). I am 1 of those that never outgrew playing video games. I am a true gamer.

So do NOT feel weird or alone. There are more like us out there. However within the minority. LOL

Stop crying, no one cares. This game gives you all the free content in the world and is arguably the best sports game out by far…quit being a baby

It's the ONLY Basebal game out there like this and that is what the problem is. SDS puts out whatever & we just eat it because it's the ONLY 1 out there. So it's either play this (regardless how many things we dislike or hate about it) or play nothing at all. I love Baseball in general too much to NOT being able to play a Baseball Video Game. So therefor I still play it & will continue to play it. However will abandon & leave MLBTS is someone like 2K or EA relaunches out a Baseball game again.

FINALLY I can NOW say """LET'S ALL DRINK"" Because I just finally joined the club 6 days ago of those who do have J. Diaz.

So here it goes ....

""LETS ALL DRINK!!!!"""

LMAO

@maddogtannen777_xbl said in If MLB goes NL-DH, Will DD ....:

I dont understand what the issue is with the Bold? Does it REALLY bother you THAT much to give the Topic creator a hard time and not even answer the question?

Thank you MadDog. Or should I say "THANK YOU" .... Lol

Each time you level up a Pitcher, it will increase his individual attributes which will alter how he pitches with speed, breaking movement & trejectory. Therefor you need to adapt to those changes too. You can not do the same thing over & over same way with him & expect same results when the card is no longer the same.

It just may be me, but want to see if anyone else feels that same way.

In any mode, RS, BR or Events, when the game just loads in & you see the home stadium being featured with the letter board graphics of the 2 teams facing each other. Many times it does not show the W-L record of both teams.

This always annoys me & upsets me when it does not show it. I like seeing how good of a player I am facing before the game starts because that in a way lets me go about that game in a certain way. Being able to see if someone is 300-100 as to 100-300 tells me a lot with what to expect from this opponent & how to try to implement a game plan. Same with seeing if it's a newbie & if he is 40-10 or 10-40.

Maybe most in here, this really don't matter to them. But wondering if it does to any in here & they would like to see "ALL" game Intro's (in any DD mode) showing W-L records.

It's like ANY fly ball hit in the OF will be run down & caught regardless which Outfielder is used & what's their speed. It has to be a low hard hit line drive into the gaps or down the lines for an Outfielder not to get to it for an out. Or if a fly ball, it has to be a soaring bullet heading to hit off the wall before the Outfielder can get to it. Previous years OF defense was more realistic with speed attributes & with what is reachable or not for an out. I made so many catches in the OF this year that I never would have made in previous years of MLBTS. But the coin goes both ways. So frustrating when hitting stuff to the OF that will easily be a hit in ANY real game & instead is track down & caught.

Just something else SDS screwed up this year with them thinking it would be better & is actually NOT. SDS always wants to fix what is NOT broken instead of fixing what was actually broken & needing to be fixed.

I'm happy for Freeman. He finally got his ring after staying with the Braves going back to his rookie year. I love it when I get to see a team lifetime career player finally getting his ring. So wished that was the case for David Wright before he was forced to retire due to medical issues.

Signature Lindor.

I feel those who quit games, do so mostly when they feel out matched or when someone just had a really big early inning scoring 3-5 runs & now doesn't want to grind out the game trying to gain back the lead fearing they will continue being out scored by that other team. I know because I have quit many RS games for those same exact 2 reasons.

Oddly at times I have mixed emotions when someone quits on me. At times I feel like "Cool, easy win, easy RS rank points" & at times I get really pissed off because if that game was being played for a program mission objective to gain program points & the person quitting now nixes that mission & it has to be done all over, then that ticks me off.

I feel there is not enough penalty or penalization for those who quit other then the loss itself & getting an other "quit/disconnect" card. The player needs to see there is much more to lose & to be punished for by quitting games.

I feel I may have a solution to this that will prevent those from quitting as easy & as often as they do. Some out there will LOVE this idea & some will HATE this idea. But here it goes ..........

Lets say that RS game would give +50 to the winner & -50 to the loser. If the Loser played out the entire game to it's end, then the loser only gets -25. He only loses half the ranking points as a bonus for playing the entire game. But if he quits, he now gets a -150 which is 3x in negative then what the winner got. So quitting is now a ranking point value of like losing 3 games immediately back to back. Apart from that, quitting causes a 3 hour ban, meaning the system detects your last "quit" & blocks you from being matched in an RS Game for 3 hours.

ONLY THING THAT BYPASSES THIS "PENALTY" AN AGREED "FRIENDLY QUIT"

I feel this will prevent many from quitting so easily & as often as they do. Tell me what you guys think.

So many other online games allows a voice chatting feature via headsets. MLBTS should do the same. Everyone can choose to either enable this feature or not & as well easily & quickly disable it if & when someone is just being too offensive, abussive or stupid. However I do feel that being able to headset voice chat with someone I am playing online against would be very fun. We could be complimenting on plays, challenging each other, daring each other, even some trash talking. Someimes what you hear your oppenent is saying to you (either being meant in a good or bad way) can drive you to play better. Both could just be talking about Baseball Shop overall & not about the actual game being played. They are both discussing topics commonly seen & read in here. Or be talking about the REAL MLB. "Yo Dude, how you feel about the Mets & that Scherzer signing?"

What do you think about having a voice chatting feature via headsets? Yes, No or Maybe & Why.

FS Kelbert Ruiz is actually a very good card & option to use for a Cacther. Has a very good swing & as well is a switch hitter. His attributes are not as high as the other Catchers already mentioned ealier in here, but please do not let those lower attributes fool you. FS Kelbert Ruiz has produced more for me then all the other 95+ Diamond Cacthers in this game so far this year.

Bad enough there are so many skilled players Online. What you suggest would go both ways, meaning they as well would get feed back on your PCI & your timing with being either just a bit or even way early/late. That gives them even more of an advantage to dominate weaker players Online. Just seeing what your own feedback is, for me is good enough & shows me where "I" "Myself" need to correct & adjust with.

Attn: SDS, Please Do NOT bring back 2 way player CAP to the game & especially NOT into RTTS. The 2 way player this year literally RUINED RTTS & took away the draw to want to play it.

Those in here felling same way about this, just reply back with ... "Attn: SDS, Please Do NOT bring back 2 way player CAP in MLBTS22" ... maybe if enough of us say it, then they will realize how badly it tanked this year & will not bring it back next year.

With XP being doubled. just do 1 or 2 MTO's (March To October) on Beginner Level. You will fly thru it easily, gets tons of XP & as well get a nice leap up in TA's, especially with TA5.

@tonythetiger2k16 said in where are the rest of the uniforms?:

I really have no care or desire completing Uniform Collections. The reward is not appealing to me & I have no need or use for Uniforns. I created my own for my DD Team & when I play Franchise Mode, all uniforms are available via default, regardless if you have the card for that Uniform or dont have it.

You’ll need them for the final Barry Bonds collection

Where the heck you getting Bonds from ??? Bonds is forever banned from Baseball & his stats all have an asterisk attatched to them which means they are NOT acknowledged as the leader in that category. SDS is in 100% compliance with the MLB & will NEVER EVER include into MLBTS any banned players such as Barry Bonds, Pete Rose, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGuire, Roger Clemmens, Carlos Beltran, Roberto Alomar, Felipe Vasquez, Etc

Could be Trout, Cobb & Ripken. Those so far at the only high demending 99 Daimonds that has not been released yet this far. 10th Inning surely would be last program for new bosses & 11th being a rewind of previous bosses for thosr who missed out on them before.

The way they played in real life at the ending of the season is how their card is currently being rated & is how their card will start in MLBTS 22. Only difference is the team if they were traded or signed in the off season 1 month prior to spring training. SDS will update that card on its new proper team. Then after the 1st roster update is realeased for 22 is when it will reflect ups/downs in card class based on how that player preformed in real life up to that point.
