Yes and those were my exact options too. I posted about previously. It’s clearly an issue.

@Joe-Del-Maestro_XBL

In the vault pack. It was listed as 1 of the 2 options. Ridiculous.

@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN

It’s recurring. Happened to me too and I was legit shocked.

Wow a new low. My choices were a live series Tyler Glasnow and a quit/disconnect icon. I am not kidding one bit.

I mean in a year of glitches this truly takes the cake. As if these packs couldn’t be any more garbage than they already are that is just a giant middle finger at this point. I’m just stunned.

@Jeff7407_PSN

All of them suck considering how many hittable strikes the CPU throws and the super dots are maxed out. Just feels like a huge time sink that isn’t actually playing the game.

@PapaRick68_MLBTS

Think it looks like polo grounds on the right and I’m guessing it’s Willie Mays. Say Hey and The Kid fits the hint and with 2 all time great center fielders it’s makes the choice a little less lopsided.

@NotesOfJohn_PSN

I’ve noticed all headliners going for that now which means one or both of the following: nobody is buying the packs and/or nobody is pulling the headliner.

Yeah cards play much differently in moments but if I fail a moment more than 10 times, especially due to cpu shenanigans, it will sour me on a card for sure.

@DrBear100_PSN

Oh yeah for sure. Ratings don’t seem to matter for CPU players.

That is crazy, but just another example of how the game randomly goes off the rails. Using the excuse of “that’s baseball” can’t be a catch all for poor gameplay and ridiculous RNG.

You aren’t doing anything wrong. The amount of perfect perfect hits that magically warp right to gloves is one of the many things wrong with gameplay this year. It’s always been an issue but this year is far worse.

@capardo_XBL

Exactly and if new players try the game on rookie and get dotted up by common pitchers or robbed of hits by ridiculous sliding plays and/or cannon arms on common fielders they will just walk away. That doesn’t motivate players to get better it simply invites them to leave and never come back.

@NotesOfJohn_PSN

That’s exactly it. The modes and difficulties play very differently depending way too much on RNG and pitcher confidence. Rookie should play like rookie and goat should play like goat but that just isn’t the case. There is basically zero consistency.

@Dolenz_PSN

I think it’s pretty clear that resources are very scarce across the board. Whether they were diverted to the mobile game or simply laid off who knows. Either way the product is suffering greatly.

@samguenther1987_PSN

Yep the CPU pitching is unbelievably bad and worse in modes like conquest where rewards are attached. It’s not just on low difficulty either as I’ve played on all levels and seen it baked into every one of them. Can’t just be a coincidence to see it so often.

Mailed in laziness in many ways. Something also feels off after this drop as these power hitters are getting terrible exit velocities and ball carry. Almost like they don’t want us to get those home run missions done too quickly. The game just feels off more than usual and the card art is a copy paste job from last year.

@Sarge1387_PSN

100% agree

@Joe-Del-Maestro_XBL

If it’s Mays they need to make his swing better to do him justice. He should play WAY better than he does. Top 3 player of all time for sure.

Knowing SDS it’s gonna be a switch hitter like Mantle or Jones or a fan favorite like Griffey. I’d say Ruth comes in a distant 4th but could be wrong.

@globetrotter360_PSN

Hoping they speed up his swing a bit. As a Tigers fan I used to hate Trammell’s swing but now it’s great. Would be nice if they give Roberto the same treatment as he deserves it.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL

Unless you are Bo Jackson gunning down Harold Reynolds at the plate in the old Kingdome.

Otherwise yes the field is too small allowing fielders to cover way too much ground and make unrealistic catches and throws. This makes it very much HR or bust.
