They could increase pull rates slightly and make it much more rewarding for players. Last year seemed abnormally bad for high end diamonds. Not saying they should be easier just not impossible either.

The super dives didn’t get bad until 23. The dives didn’t cover as much ground in 21 or 22 and they didn’t get up and gun you down to boot.

Or balls floating in the air letting outfielders run down or cut off every ball in the gap or throw frozen ropes from the fence to the infield making triples almost nonexistent.

The fielders didn’t use to cover as much ground and balls didn’t use to hang as bad in previous games. I’ve been playing a good amount of 21 and this issue wasn’t nearly as glaring. The field played bigger and made for a more realistic hitting environment. It wasn’t as much home run or bust.

Yes, the legend trailer was underwhelming to say the least. Add in that 3 of the big legends are simply returning to the game in Pujols, Jones, and Hernandez and it’s a bummer. Fred Lynn having his glove on the wrong hand better be corrected by release too as that’s inexcusable.

@Teak2112_MLBTS

Still feel like even if the average player age of MlBTS is greater than 26 it’s not by much. All things considered I think SDS is heavily incentivized to push modern players in their game more than the true legends of the game. Plus I gotta think modern players are way cheaper to implement.

99s are certainly out of control but done so to make more cards usable.

Bottom line is SDS pushes the modern players harder because most players of this game were born in the 2000s. They simply don’t care about the older legends. I’m an older player myself and love the older legends. My son appreciates a few of the old legends but at the end of the day he prefers the younger players that he can watch on TV. So ultimately it’s a business decision on the part of SDS and us older guys just have to live with the scraps they throw us and hope for the best.

I think it’s because the odds are glitched. At least that’s what SDS said when people complained about not getting rewards with 100% chance or something extremely close to it. While it could be true it could also just be a cop out for a broken mode. One look at all the card prices tied to diamond quest tells you all you need to know about how popular the mode is with most players. Sadly, it’s nothing more than a stub farm for elite players that play on GOAT.

Pitching is beyond horrendous and been that way all year. Wild pitch/bean ball or super dot with very little in between.

After a couple days without disconnects it’s happening again. It’s not my internet as it doesn’t happen on any other games or with other devices. It’s the servers plain and simple and I guess the risk of playing knowing you can be booted at any time. Pretty frustrating to say the least.

@Sarge1387_PSN

You are probably right. I just want to be able to complete a game without being disconnected. The rest of the issues I can deal with.

@Sarge1387_PSN

Oh, there are a lot of broken things in the game for sure. But, until today, I’ve never been booted out within 15 minutes in 2 games straight of offline DD gameplay.

The other issues are really more annoying than anything else but this actually makes the game unplayable so hopefully it gets fixed soon. Fingers crossed with Thanksgiving right around the corner.

Yep. They must have broke something.

15-20 mins of gameplay was about how much I was in for 2 straight games before being disconnected. Wonder if they broke something with the server maintenance yesterday?

I’ve had multiple disconnects playing offline DD just this morning. Was there an update or server maintenance yesterday that made things worse?

I did the diamond quest too but I have zero interest in the moments, conquest and showdown for my own mental well being.

I don’t care who else has the cards and no one else should. The great players will get them much faster but ultimately this is a game we all paid for and should have a chance at all the cards if we put in the time.

Gatekeeping virtual cards that will have no value is 4 months makes zero sense. If you are claiming they are trophies for being elite at the game I actually feel bad kinda bad for you.

3 weeks after release and only 20K have Buxton, 12K have Clemens, and 6K have Elly.

Think it’s time they decrease the pxp requirement from 40K to 25K and or provide some type of collection or exchange program so more can get these cards before Xmas.

The baseball season is officially over. It’s time to loosen the reigns a bit with Finest on the way. Increase the diamond pull rate in packs and throw average players a bone by rewarding the grinders and not just the elite player base.

Except that the shrinking PCI on sliders has largely made switch hitters the meta. So by not using switch hitters it puts players at a competitive disadvantage. It’s not a cop out it’s objectively true.

SDS realized this which is why they have doubled down by releasing numerous high end switch hitters.

@NotesOfJohn_MLBTS

Based on your one year of playing the show and maybe any other sports games you have played.

I can tell you in my 6 years of playing DD on the show this year packs were very different. They were always bad but never this bad.

The fact live series Judge is still insanely expensive tells you all you need to know about pack odds this year.

@NotesOfJohn_MLBTS

I know you are new to mlb the show but a lot of the frustration this year with packs is that they are far worse than previous years.

The odds are heavily skewed by low diamonds and duplicates with it being almost impossible to actually pull any type of high diamonds.

I’ve opened thousands of packs this year, earned in game, and it’s super obvious that it’s more than just random bad luck.

@demilio_PSN

Nope, unfortunately, you have to beat the third stadium for Santana, and second stadium for the chase pack too just to get to the third stadium.
