Is it just me or is the PSN still broken? I have my PS4 on lan (with perfectly fine download speeds) so really can't think of how the issues could be on my end. I tested online play in Fallguys (hadn't really had reason to try that out since it was the free game, because all of my free time goes into the show), and I can't stay connected to a game there either! Just tested an event match again and it disconnected and gave me the loss before the first pitch!

Okay, well maybe it is just me. For the record, I ended up going down a support path that had me setup a Static IP and Port Forwarding, and that seems to have resolved things. It's just insane to me that without that everything was working fine a week ago!

Umm. Suddenly tonight I can't play an online match... I've been doing offline things for a few days so maybe I've just avoided the issues everyone else has been having? But I've just tried 4 different online matches (three ranked and one event) and disconnect between the first pitch and first out. And I'm taking the loss which angers me.
Known server issues?

@SaveFarris said in Another year with 0 Rockies Topps Now cards:

You're breaking our hearts over here in Ranger-land.

Our non-Live diamonds before today:

• The 3 TA cards
• ANOTHER Gallo repeat from Player's League
• Darvish Prime
• Boss Pudge

That's it. That's the list.

I was thinking maybe a Topps Now for IKF if he kept that hit streak going! But, alas... no.

Dude you’re kinda late to the party. Can’t invest 3 hours before. That’s when prices are at their highest

I mean, you can get those 2k buys in for guys about to go Diamond.

Believe me, the guys you’re getting for 2K aren’t going diamond today. Maybe later but I highly doubt today

I mean... take guys who are already trading at 4k, but put 2k buys in. The buys stay active even though you can't place more of them below the 5k sell now price. But as other people churn through sell nows, they get filled.

I'd like to understand what Mike Yastrzemski has to do to go Diamond, or at least continue to move in that direction!!??

This caused me to put a rush on the Signature Event for sure! I stopped at Simmons in the last event and thankfully made it thru the HRD rewards from the last one. Of course... I didn't get any elite round packs.

@trongo_85 said in Odds on Headliner packs:

My TA pack count went up lately because I've been making a push for FOTF cards for 99 Trout.

I'm in the same boat right now. What is your strategy for the TA program? I'm still just trying to decide if I should spend time on missions, moments, and Showdown or just do exchanges for what I have left. Every stub counts, but I don't know if I'm just wasting time on anything other than exchanges.

I'd say I relied 90% on exchanges and it was really my first time doing that. I never really did it for POTM or anything. I think I probably added around 15 TA-1 FOTF cards. And had to get between 20-30 points for most of the teams. There were a couple at like 33 so doing the moment that's specific to the tier I was on was key. But otherwise I mostly avoided moments. Buying for exchanges is a grind and a half! But what's nice about is I can do it away from the game (if we're being honest... What I mean is during work where actually playing isn't practical even though I'm working from home) but being in my computer and grinding those purchases is doable.
I was doing my exchange grind over the last two weeks or so, and I'd say the prices have gone up quite a bit. POTM investors maybe? So it's gotten a little harder. I was really trying to keep the cost down to 3600 per exchange.
Obviously you've got to use the show zone.

I've been dealing with my own TA trials just trying to get to 30 FOTF cards. I do love those 76 silvers, but just can't bring myself to over pay for them. I'm 3 FOTF cards away though and may just buy the cheap Tier 3 ones.
Curious what other collection you all are avoiding by doing the Future Stars collection. I think I'm going to get to the 15 required with out them. Prime, Signature and Awards all got more reasonable than when the Trout collection dropped.
Maybe it's Prestige that you're not doing? I've got 4/5 and very close on Torre.

I got trout out of one of the headliner packs from the Ruth challenge last night. Now I have 99 Trout.. felt good to be a gangsta

I pulled Trout out of a Team Affinity pack last night. My TA pack count went up lately because I've been making a push for FOTF cards for 99 Trout. This was the first 90+ live series I pulled and was so giddy when I saw AL CF! Also never pulled a headliner or top round DOTP. So this was well deserved! Selling the live series Trout should also put me over the top for 99 (at least to the point of not caring about what price I pay to finish it up).

@Ikasnu said in Odds on Headliner packs:

I've probably bought around 50 or so. I've pulled at least 6. 3 being headliners.

Did you get your Trevor Story, or just end up buying him?

@formallyforearms said in Walter Johnson Reviews:

All the complaining about the Big Trains windup, yet I've never heard anyone say anything about the long windups of some modern day players, like Sonny Gray.

Umm there was a Topps Now moment with Gray requiring strikeouts. I did intentional walks to get him pitching from the stretch.

I've used Boggs through a few of the toughest events (Prime which was HOF), and he's batting over 300.
I'm probably a 220 hitter overall.

@m_hennion25 said in Receiving random packs for a program:

It’s not a glitch. If you go to the event info, the 3rd or 4th section down, they explain that your wins are counting towards cumulative event wins for previous events. I won a game yesterday and was awarded the Andrelton Simmons Awards card from last event. It’s a new thing based on how it reads.

I don't know. I think that's stock language about how wins in same-named events are cumulative. I'm not mad about it if it's a glitch.

Shhhhhhhhhh

Even in real life a 109 exit velo has a .712 expected batting average. So it's not a guaranteed hit.

Not mad about the 30 Lance Lynn cards I picked up!

Fun topic: all time misspoken names? As a Rangers fan, one of the most frustrating was how often analysts/commentators said Neftali Perez (when they meant Neftali Feliz).

I submit for evidence, this CBS Sports report: https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/free-agent-pitcher-neftali-perez-to-join-tigers/

It's hard for me because I work with a Maddox.
