They need to create a park where people older than 30 see a stand full of fans and people under 30 see Godzilla. Everyone wins

Seasons and Sets have been the worst thing that has happened to this game so far. I know why they attempted it (to relive that opening day feeling multiple times), but it is brutal working towards a card that has a very limited shelf life. This is on top of the fact that these games only have roughly 365 days to begin with before people move on to the next version.

Finally, to cap this off, we now have multiple copies of the same card throughout the year. 3-4 years ago, the 99 version was the best version of that player. Now they can have three, four, or maybe five 99s in a game cycle. Just seems silly and overkill. I would rather have one 99 and the parallels moved up to seven or eight, then having to level 3 different versions of the same card.

I know there is always excitement in figuring out and seeing which new legends will appear in next year's game, but I think it is time we had a conversation. I think that we should be more focused on trying to bring back some of the players that have already been in the game in previous years, but are no longer available. My list of players that we had before but are no longer in the game and SHOULD come back include:

Ted Williams! (Possibly the best hitter in baseball)
Ty Cobb
Rogers Hornsby
Will Clark
Fred McGriff
Orel Hershiser (Still listed as a legend, but did not receive a card)
Kenny Lofton (Same as above)
Kirk Gibson (Same as above)
Matt Williams
Kirby Puckett
Cliff Floyd
Yogi Berra
Carlton Fisk
Dwight Evans
Benito Santiago
Dale Murphy
...

In saying that, I do realize that SDS doesn't have the money to have everyone in the game and they have to make compromises, but I wish they had a couple of these old players back.

Are there any players you wish to see again that used to be in the game?

The WIldcard spots have one purpose and one purpose only. That is to advance Daniel Vogelbach on to the next Season.

Here are my sports

Wild Card # 1 = Daniel Vogelbach
Wild Card #2 = Daniel Vogelbach
Wild Card #3 = Daniel Vogelbach
Wild Card #4 = Daniel Vogelbach

We need the fan that ripped the ball out of Mookie's glove. Just use him as a captain and make it impossible for the opponent to catch balls in foul territory.

I have had no interest in playing since the glitch has been exposed and exploited by every player. It also takes away from the coolness of actually running into a real MLB player down the road. I know that technically if you run into one in Events or RS, then it still shows that it was a real major leaguer, but some of the magic is gone. Every player in Coop has used that card before and it doesn't hold the same level of excitement that it once did. Fix or shut down until fixed.

Batting Averages will be higher across the board because they gave us a Moonshot event right out the gate.

Does anyone have a list of all the legends that were once in the game, but SDS has lost the rights to. I do not mean players that retired recently, but legends that were in older titles and are now out.

I say this because I find it interesting that most people fixate on the new cards, but do not realize how many players have actually been removed throughout the years. And I do get that some of these names probably cost a decent amount, but I was just curious if there is a running tally of all of the legends that are no longer part of the experience.

Just off the top of my head, I can think of a couple

Ted Williams
Rogers Hornsby
Ty Cobb
Yogi Berra
Albert Belle
Gaylord Perry
Doc Ellis

Anyone else add to this list? or have a completed version?

@RazorForte45_XBL said in Does anyone only play exclusively on Legend?:

I enjoy the VS cpu mode on legend only.

I use my batting lineup with these alterations

Only 3 99’s in the lineup AND 2 Veterans AND 2 rookies

My pitching staff is only LS starters and 1 99 in the pen.

All aids turned off

No visible strikezone
No pitch curser
Meter pitching

Excellent games

Last night got a win 3-2 with a Harmon Killebrew homer in the 9th
And a sweet save by 97 pressley

Nice! I like the format.

I have a spin wheel I use with 171 different options to make things more challenging.

I get bored of the same teams and same players.

Vogelbach should have received 99 speed. They are not accounting for the bigger bases!!!

Need to fix that. That will be a running theme for the rest of the year. The one guy that is supposed to boost the team is actually left out because he is in a different classification.

Blyleven Robin Roberts, and Wade Miley

They are stacking everything.. Probably have 75 Bullpen (expect 1) rotation (except 1) and bench.

Back, and to the left.

I play a decent amount compared to the average person. My play time has dropped this year as opposed to previous years, but to put it in perspective, I have completed all Conquest Maps, the Original Mini Season, Every BR Program, and got 20 wins in every Event so far. I have not played RS or the TA Mini Season, but did start the Bob Feller mini season and I am currently 5 wins in. I have also completed every Team Affinity up until 3 (the new one that just dropped), and I have finished every program that has been added to the game.

Saying that, I am WAY behind on everything! I have yet to even obtain the Kyle Seager in the program experience, and I am 200k XP points behind obtaining my first boss. I am also roughly 60-70 cards away from completing the Season 1 Collection Reward to get the first boss in that line. I know that collecting these new TA1.3 bosses would help with that, but it is frustrating knowing they only have 20ish days left to use the majority of them.

And finally, this position that I am in is after I took advantage of both Double XP weekends that have been offered.

As stated above, I do feel like I play more than the average player, and if I am in this position, then it makes me wonder how someone who can only play sporadically might feel about the progress of the game

I don't know if I will get all the way to the end. The xp added in events will push me closer to the next reward, but it is kinda sad that I play as much as I do and am still worried about obtaining all the bosses. It really sucks that even IF i get them, I will only have 3-5 days before the next season. Really brings up the point that Seasons need to go.

I usually just go to the program and hit triangle (PS4) to look at the cards

SDS is currently out of the office. We hope to return April 1st. Please leave a message and we will get back to you then. Thank you.

I disagree with The Show being horrible and the worst. It is actually a great game that provides a solid experience.

BUT, I would agree with the outlier argument. I have not problem making 99 MPH fastballs look like the 102MPH fastball just to keep it more in line with reality.
Also, as much as I think the game has its Pros, there are definite errors and problems that needed to be worked on. For example, the Hitting system is very difficult to really understand. Why is the late side of Good so weak in contact? Why does the ball leave the yard on Very Earlys or No PCI on it at all? These have to be addressed in the next game to truly take it to the next level.
Finally, I think the template and model that they have used needed to be altered or added to in the next game. We have seen the same structure (RS, Battle Royale, Events) the last 4 years. It would be nice to spice things up and change it a little bit in the next model. This is not even counting the fact that most of the cards in the game (not counting the 5-10 new legends they introduce) are carbon copies of the prior year with new card art. It would be great to see something new in that area to break up the monotony.

I think you can make that argument for a lot of reasons

The graphics in the game are still amazing, especially noticeable in replays
The modes give options and allow players to find a way to enjoy it that is best for them
Cross Play is still in its beginning stages, but does look promising in the long term (At least between Xbox and PS)
New programs were put in to promote playing online and allowing people an alternative to obtaining the great cards
New Mods like Mini-Seasons were a nice addition that gave a new challenge for people that play offline
Created stadiums were fun (although they do need to do something about max elevation ballparks next year)

There is definitely some issues that need to be addressed as I stated above, but it is a nice game that gives players a chance to customize everything about their experience.
