It’s work around for the ridiculous amount of double plays. Without it almost every ground ball turns into 2 outs.

@chrispound_PSN

Apollo is on the payroll so expect him to side with SDS no matter what you say. The duplicate jersey oversight was a clunky overcorrection at best and a way to make flipping diamond jerseys harder and more cumbersome at worst. Either way not a great look on top of everything else.

@Ditka06_MLBTS

It was already heading downhill pretty fast and this year between the obscene amount of glitches and bugs in the game, cheaters being exposed, bots manipulating the market, and lack of offline content to adequately earn XP and cards it’s like gasoline being dumped on the fire.

Enough is enough and moving forward I will play with my son a bit but my days of being excited to play and grind the game are over. It was fun while it lasted but not getting better anytime soon. Their current and future direction is crystal clear.

@Sarge1387_PSN

Oh yeah buying stubs fixes everything for sure.

@BLAISEBLAISE_PSN

That’s because they aren’t looking to improve anything either by choice or lack of resources from Sony. I think this year is gonna lose a lot of long time players with all the issues. Sadly I don’t think they really care if they lose a lot of players as long as those left behind are willing to spend money.

@Sarge1387_PSN

For sure. They have steadily cut xp and stubs for years while pushing monetization with packs and collections. Yes, it’s still better than other ultimate team games but it’s nowhere near as fun or rewarding as it was just a few years ago.

Sony and former EA suits and ties have ruined this franchise in the name of corporate greed. Anything to make a few extra bucks even if gameplay is held together with duct tape and chewing gum.

@SISCO2000_PSN

He will tell you it’s just bad luck and 1:50 is right on the money as far as odds. Even though a ton of people are going hundreds of packs with no diamonds, myself included.

Duplicates of the same bronze, silver and gold players in the same pack repeatedly. But sure everything seems completely legit to me.

@Skoolyz0301_PSN

Yes, if it was truly randomized this happening would be extremely rare yet it happens all the time.

@Ledfoot_19_PSN

Hope the short term profits were worth it.

Just release a new card or gameplay mechanic and nobody will notice the glitches.

I’m not supporting the small parks. Just saying the reason there are so many is the same reason everybody plays at Coors. The gameplay is geared towards HRs at the expense of everything else.

@Ledfoot_19_PSN

Yep I’m in the same boat. I’ve slowly just learned to log in, complete what released and then step away. Being able to complete the XP path and acquire every card is officially a thing of the past. They realized they could make more money by making people buy the xp reward path bosses and tanking the odds on packs to beyond awful.

I’m going to play on and off this year since I’ve already bought the game and then I’m done for good. The game is now for online players only or people that want to live on the game non stop and/or buy a ton of stubs. Hoping enough people walk away that it craters the franchise and somebody else picks up the mlb license and runs with it. The sooner microtransactions go away for good and it’s seen for what it really is, gambling geared towards kids, the better.

If the game wasn’t so HR or bust they wouldn’t be so prevalent. The fact doubles and triples are nearly nonexistent because the runners are too slow out of the box, the fields play too small, and the outfielders cover way too much ground with cannons for arms and this is what you get. If things were properly balanced and the stat missions didn’t rely so heavily on HRs people would be much more open to playing in bigger ballparks and creating historical ballparks instead of launching pads.

@JDHalfrack_PSN

You really like the sound of your own voice don’t you? Smartest guy in the room. You come across as extremely smug and arrogant. Most people can at least understand the frustrations with this game but you do you.

@Busta-21_XBL

Yep, screw live series. They can manipulate it all they want and they have made it unaffordable and unattainable for 95% of the player base or more. I refuse to spend stubs on any more live series cards. Absolutely ridiculous no matter how you slice it.

@JDHalfrack_PSN

You support SDS with every single one of your posts. Either you work for them, know someone who works for them, or just choose to ignore this game is a shell of what it used to be. You can choose to be an optimist but ignoring or downplaying all the faults and changes made that reek of greed and lack of quality control is delusional.

@Joho16_PSN

Yep, I totally agree. Huge ripoff. Skenes was my best pull too. Still missing 12 of the live series diamonds including the big 2.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN

Lots of internet tough guys and man children that attach their egos to this game. Along with choppy gameplay due to bad servers this kind of toxicity is the main reason most of us online players have no interest in playing online.

Sounds like you played a perfect example of just that. Glad to hear you pushed him to the limit and were the bigger man for not letting his talk get to you.

@Ditka06_MLBTS

Me too. At like 177 hrs and still missing 12 top live series diamonds including all the heavy hitters like Judge and Ohtani.

Best pull from a pack was Skenes. Still numerous vouchers short of 99 miggy. I know it’s supposed to be a grind but this feels miles away.

@AppleLemon560_MLBTS

Oh trust me I get it. I have an 8 year old and he can be a handful too. I don’t care h out w much people play or looking into how much they do so. I just know there are people on these forums that look into that type of stuff and try to call people out. So if you have a good amount of playtime on the game and are making good progress people make assumptions. It’s weird but if you are getting that vibe that’s where it comes from. Take those mini breaks from the kiddos whenever you get a chance.
