@the_dragon1912 said in Event Ratings Shouldn't Be Re-Set On Re-Entries !!!!!!:

You have to realize though, if you don't have the event ratings reset probably 70% of event players stop playing events. Good players don't enjoy matching up with WS players in 3 inning games on allstar either

Your saying good players only want easy wins? I have trouble believing this.

In events? Yes. Ranked is for sweating, events is to get the rewards and get out. No one wants to play a 12-10 3 inning game. Good players only want to play good players on HOF+

this is it 100%

@TheGoaler_PSN said in many Attributes Max out at 125 ..... So Just Wondering .....:

One time in RTTS I was rounding the bases. The icon said '108' speed!
However in DD it 'only' said 99 recently.

"One time in band camp" 🙂

@eatyum_PSN said in Finest Lindor Vs. FOTF Lindor ????:

To be fair, your fotf Lindor was facing much weaker pitching, now every pitcher is outlier 99

…beat me to it.

Think about the pitchers in events your FOTF Lindor faced early in year (ex. Commons in moonshot events) vs. Randy, Bob, etc in the most recent events.

I just did it in one. Oh well.

@steelymacbeam said in Future Stars Series Cards This year is a JOKE!!!:

There are so many viable cards to put in a lineup at this point that the future stars don't ruin anything. I've always enjoyed the future stars because I learn more about players coming through the various systems.

How DARE you bring a positive outlook to these forums!?

Mods, ban this fool.

@tonythetiger2k16 said in Why many DD Teams does NOT use a Uniform matching their Team Name & Logo?:

I see way too many DD Teams calling thier team Vikings, Bears, Wizards or what ever else & then they are using a MLB Uniform of the Mets, Yankees, Twins or which ever other MLB team. Why would someonce call thier team the Vikings & use a Uniform of the Yankees which says Yankees on the Jersey. This makes no sense to me. It just only shows the lack of creativeness & just outright laziness to not create your own Uniform. There are so many word art team names & logos 1 can get from the vault.

This my be a pety pet peeve for me, but I really enjoy when I see someone that took lots of pride & effort with making their team look & sound unique. Even if its something like the Bears. You can change the colors & designs of the uniform to make it your own & original.

I myself made my DD team be the Emerald City Wizards. I felt that Emerald City as in Wizard Of Oz plays off well with calling the team Wizards. I also a wrestling fan. So my team abbrievation is ECW which pays homage to the old ECW wrestling organization. I changed up my colors so that it would be different & unique as to others whom uses the Wizards Name & Logo's.

I am the Savannah Banana's and my uniforms are the exact colors of the actual team

I wish the Bananas were there when I lived in Savannah. I lived in Savannah for 6 years from 2005-2011. We had the very run of the mill sand gnats. They moved that team and then the bananas came in.
I have never seen them in person but I follow them on You tube

I was stationed there from 2009-2011. Really miss that city.

@tonythetiger2k16 said in Big Mistake with Goldschmidt .....:

Before last roster update 2 weeks ago I had invested in buying 20 Goldschmidt cards. Paid from 1500 to 1520 stubs per card. He didnt go Diamond, But I knew he had to go Diamond with todays roster update. So I kept those 20 & bought an additional 20 ranging me in 1700 to 1720 each.

Here was my mistake & bad judgement call. 1 hour prior to the Roster Update being released. I saw his Buy Now go up to 4800 stubs. which is 300 more than his Quick Sell if he went to an 87 Diamond. I knew guaranteed he will get to atleast an 85 & good chance going to 86. Now 87 I felt would be a stretch. So my immediate thought was to sell them all while his Buy Now was up within that 4800 mark, which dropped down to 4600 buy the time I sold all 40 cards. Even at 4600, after tax is 4140 which was still 390 over his Quick sell at a 86 Diamond which is where I thought he would be upgraded to. Even if by chance he went up to 87 at a 4500 Quick Sell. I was only losing at worst 360 on a portion if them to as little as 180 on a portion of them. However to my freaking surprise & disbelief he goes up to 88 with a Quick Sell of 5500. I lost out on all those potential stubs because I panicked & chose to play it safe thinking I was making the right choice to maximize the amount of stubs that could possibly be made. I still made out ok overall. but I really could have done much better with those 40 cards.

Our company president has a saying -- there is no such thing as bad profits (I work for a minerals/commodity trading company). You're better off selling and making a profit then speculating and risking losing your [censored] if you're wrong.

Worse thing you can do is buy at a high price thinking prices will continue to climb and lose a ton when the market falls.

Need a Dale Murphy card from one of his back to back MVP years.

@tonythetiger2k16 said in What Happened to the 90+ OVR LS Diamond Player Choice Pack This Year ???:

I am NOT talking about the Diamond Player pack which gives a choice of Diamond Equipment & Perks. I am talking about the 90 OVR LS Diamond Choice Pack which was given as Featured Program rewards like 2 or 3 times last year. (Last year & several years ongoing known as Innings Programs) Why didn't SDS bring that back year & especially within either of the 1st 2 Featured Programs. Last year that is how I was able to get Trout. He was 1 of the 3 cards able to be chosen within that pack. It made completing the LS Collection so much sooner for me because I didn't have to wait to save up 350K to 400K to buy him. At this stage in the game right now, this Pack will be such a blessing for many of us. I need 5 Players to finish LS Collection which is Trout, Ohtani, Acuna, Tatis & Degrom. Even if Trout was not 1 of the 3, at least all others would be because the 5 I need are each 90+ OVR & as well within the 5 highest price cards currently within the market.

I sure do wish & hope that SDS will bring this into The Featured Program coming this Friday as reward within the Program Path.

We are still just barely over a month into the game cycle, why would they make it any easier to complete the LS and acquire arguably the 3 best cards in the game? To my recollection they didn't introduce the 90+ pack until halfway/later in the year when LS prices dropped significantly. Have some patience man.

Broooooo.....you are spot on!!!! I think they started the 90+ LS packs in like July, maybe August. People seem to forget how early it is. I think the OVR progression for rewards has been great this year. We actually have times to use cards before better options take over. I've had a lot of fun roster building thus far.

I pulled Acuna last week.....but a whole lot of squat since. Pulling Acuna is a big deal and even though that should be what i think about.....i cant help but be bummed about a week of packs with 4 free agents and a bronze.
I think its just how our minds work. No matter how good a pack is....if the next one sucks we are bummed again instantly.
The packs are weighted with odds.....odds against getting something good.....its just how it has to be or we all would have the best players and the chase would end....and we would be bored.
Just know, something great is probably around the corner.....enjoy playing the game, and let packs be a bonus. If you get something awesome, if not, use what you got. Its about playing baseball first and foremost.....dont let the packs ruin the reason we are here.
I think about it wrong all the time.....but we have to keep reminding each other.....

@karlhungus61_psn said in Cross Play NEEDS To Be TAKEN AWAY!!!!:

Your premise that server issues being tied to there being multiple platforms is purely speculative. There’s no real evidence to suggest that multiple platforms are the issue.

The title of your post is about cross play being taken away, you can control this by turning it off to guarantee that you matchup with someone on the same console. This should then alleviate your proposed issue of software conversions.

It's ONLY controlling if I want to cross play or not. Even if turned off. Those from PS4 I am being matched up with is STILL coming from the same source or ONLY 1 server handling all the Bandwidth & Software Conversions f 5 different consoles. I work in the Computer IT dept for a firm. I'm not a 16 year kid. So what I do say does hold merit. I can NOT say for sure because I am NOT at SDS to inspect their servers & software being used. However based on what I am seeing. In My PROFESSIONAL opinion. The problem is using ONLY 1 sever across multiple platforms. It's the equivalent or trying to get Microsoft, Mac & ChromeBook to run the same program all together within each other at the same time under 1 server & that 1 server converting all the software of 3 different operating systems to be properly in sync.

If crossplay really was the problem then the servers should have been a much bigger issue last year. Outside of launch they really weren’t any worse than previous years.

@the_dragon1912 said in (Putting Bugs Aside) "Mini" is actually not bad, however it can be much better.:

I think a lot of you are thinking too much into it. Mini seasons wasn't made to be some super comprehensive mode. It was made to not be conquest

It was a introduced as a revised version of Extra Innings with rewards. The problem i have with it is, we already have enough 3 inning and moment modes. It shouldv'e been at least 6 innings or left at 9 innings. It is an offline mode so inning amount shouldn't have been changed to 3.

Also i think most people like the idea of the mode they just would like to see a slight change to it. It's ok to give ideas that could better the mode in the long run.

@tonythetiger2k16 said in What if all Non-LS Content was NOT Juiced Up?:

IMO .... SDS just went to the extreme more & more every year with creating content for players that are juiced up & are very unrealistic to what the player is currently or was before in prior seasons. Even during the best season they very played within their career, regardless if he is still active or long time retired or even dead.

Would be nice to see only realistic cards of retired players having attributes reflecting their entire career or in some cases their best season. However NOT have their attributes juiced up so much as they are right now. And with active players having a specialty card type, an added boost to certain attributes makes sense. However not to the extreme with how much more they are unrealistically juiced.

IMO .... It just takes aware from the sense of realness in team building. I get the personal God Squad & Dream Team aspect to this. For most part I enjoy this aspect just as much as much as the next guy. However it kills me when players are juiced up so much like the way they are.

A game I played a lot (and still do at times) is Gran Turismo. I bring this game up to compare & to offer a suggestion to this topic. GT has you collecting cars. Cars you either win in races, missions & different modes or buy from the shop. The use of these cars provides attributes with Handling, Acceleration, Braking, Weight & Rarity. Each car is tied to a certain class. Touring, Muscle, Super, Hatchback, etc. You can only use certain cars for certain races within the cars you currently own within your garage.

The "Rarity" Attribute is what I would like to suggest. With MLBTS, what makes a card more valuable & sort after to be owned & especially used within your DD game play modes is the "Rarity" value that card has. The "Rarity" gives a boost to XP earned from any DD mode being played. The higher the "Rarity" value is for that card is the higher the XP boost is. Also the higher the "Rarity" value for that is how it will also affect it's price within the Market with making it more expensive then cards with a lower "Rarity" value.

This will make all modes of play more challenging & evened out across the board for everyone. Both online & offline. The only difference within us would be who is getting more of an XP boost to complete their Programs quicker. SDS will not be loosing anything. They still will have us grinding our a***s off trying to win these reward cards & going into a stub making frenzy to go into bidding wars for these cards. The gain for us is having these cards to complete XP required programs quicker & giving us more time to devote & put into other modes of play which SDS has been desperately trying to gear us towards doing. The ONLY way they can keep MTO & RTTS going is my making DD players do these modes as well if they want to earn the XP towards Programs. RTTS has a very very loyal following that lives & die for this mode. And same can be said for MTO. But that loyal following is within a minority compared to the majority that live & die for DD.

I hear ya. I hate the Topps now cards that reward a player for having a decent outing when in reality they are average at best. Prospects and Future Stars are the worst. I get some folks like it but they shouldn't get above an 85 for those cards.

I loved conquest extreme, and there was another one in 18, was it conquest destiny? You got a decent Eddie Murray from it I remember. If I play offline I either do the small map for 5 packs or mini seasons.

I really do with conquest extreme would make a return.

Pulled FOTF Belli in my Chase 2 pack last night.. talk about a disappointment.

I sold off all my Trouts thinking he’d go Silver. Maybe next update.

Machado will go to 90 if he keeps up his current pace, it's just a matter of when.
