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.

Has anyone ever pulled a diamond with a jelly bean in the pack? I wonder if it does hurt the chance to pull a legitimate diamond. I opened 50-75 packs and got nothing.. did get about 40 jelly beans though..
Also, why 100 beans needed? 50-60 beans would entice way more people and have them either grinding or buying packs to get over the last hump. With 100 needed ( i have 22 after completing program), there is not way i can get to 100, so therefore it is pointless.

If SDS can adjust the xp cap quickly, then I am not worried. I know that sounds odd, but everyone is in the same boat. And if they see that individuals are struggling or falling behind, then they can boost it.
Here is an interesting thought though. What is the alternative? It is people that never log off the game have access to All the 99 bosses, with the casual gamer getting stuck behind.
I personally can live without seeing Jimmy Rollins and Larry Walker in every Ranked and Event for a round or two. And being honest, aside from Babe Ruth, this is the most even the game will actually be during the entire cycle. Once the 99s start rolling in, everything changes (some for the better and some for the worse).

I was wondering if there is a list out there of players that used to be in MLB the Show and are no longer in (for any reason). I know there are some that were removed for "legal troubles," but I have never seen a comprehensive list that included every player from MLB the Show 15 to 23 that USED to be in the game. Is that even a thing?

I've had a lot of success with McCutchen. But as everyone else said, might as well buy him and give it a shot. If you absolutely hate them, you can sell and rake in usually 20-30k.

Online Mini-Seasons would be the most interesting to me. Allowing people to play each other, keep track of stats in the short term, and try to get a good enough record to make the playoffs. There are many issues with this though, and that is probably why it hasn't been attempted in head to head, but I think of it every time I play mini-seasons how much fun it would be to play other players in this mode.
You could even possibly do an online Franchise style where you are a team (but you still use players from your DD squad) and you match up with other players that have locked in as other teams around the country to finish off a short season, while keeping track of your stats along the way.
Keeping with the smaller 3 inning style, I prefer modes that mimic that of a real season more than playing mindlessly to obtain a card I will never use.

There have always been 99s day one every single year. They usually came from collection rewards (which only a certain number of people were dedicated/rich enough to pursue the first week). The other cards could revolve around BR and WS rewards that players could obtain that have sometimes been 99.
I know they are always going to be around, but to push them out so drastically day one, I felt it took away from the game's experience. Keep in mind that most people are barely building a team or bronzes and silvers and they have to go against Roki Sasaki and 99 Ohtani from Chase Packs in the first week. Unfortunately, I think this method of keeping the best players in the Chase packs made them a lot of money, so it will be shocking to see them remove it. But that being said, as long as Sets are not back this year, then going against 99s (to a degree) isn't the end of the world. They just need to realize that the average person will not have the means or ability to have these cards on their team day one, and it could easily start to separate and possibly alienate players that try to slowly build their squads through normal means.

I know this might not be great advice, but I am using the Set 1 Captains from Team Affinity. This is a perfect way to try and get them to Parallel 2 and unlock their Tier 3 boost. It is one of the only things I am still trying to accomplish

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?
-
Back, and to the left.
-
In the past, you had they take the Wander Franco card from you. It was more like a switch. Do they allow you to keep the Franco card too?
-
@GixxerRyder750 I think there are definite perks, but I think they could have used a juiced up Tim Raines card (the 99 perhaps) as captain and the team would not have been that different and it would definitely not be unbalanced or unfair.
There seemed to be the idea to keep the captains at a lower rating (92-95) because there was a fear that they could be too powerful??? It just makes them irrelivant.
Going forward next year, maybe make the captains 99s, BUT make it so they have to be on the team they are boosting. Captains should have to be in the lineup.
-
I see the "proceed with caution" idea that SDS had this year with Captains, BUT the one type of captain that has never been abused the entire year was Team Captains. They could have easily made the 99 Tim Raines card we got from Set 5 collections the team captain and gave him the captain boost that his Captain card had, and people still would not have used it or had an advantage with it. The reason is because you need 9 other Nationals to make it viable. You just don't see any team that has enough good players to run it outside of fun theme teams. This is in comparison to using these elite god squad cards that have been released, and they do not hold a candle. As a matter of fact, the only viable captains this year have been the ones that boost the mega teams to even higher numbers.
On a side note though, how interesting would it be to see someone running a competitive all White Sox team in Ranked Seasons and people get upset because it is overpowered.
-
This seems to be an annual thing. Taking out a player that is accused of having a relationship with a minor and giving you a new card. I believe they did this in the past with the Relief Pitcher from the Pirates.
At this point it is like a tradition. -
I love the idea of theme teams and have recently started asking Chat GPT to create an all time lineup. Unfortunately, no every player they suggest is in the game, but it does give a pretty solid rundown of who the best would be.
Aside from Kirby Puckett being in the game for 1 year and pulled, you can make a pretty solid team out of the players that are available, even if their card is on another team (Molitor, etc)

@xElRojo44x That is what I was wondering. Thank you. I knew some of them had to be really high up there, but didn't know where to go to look.
Thank you

The reality is that there is a 99 cap on every card, but if you inflate the stats of that card, then it would technically be a much higher level than it shows.
My question is, How much higher than 99 do you think Mike Trout, Elly De La Cruz, Adley Ruschman are than the normal cards?
This is especially true with the use of Ripken/Rollins boost and Parallels.
I only bring this up because the majority of the year, most cards were 95-97 through TA and programs. It just shows how much more challenging it is this year trying to play theme teams or go into Ranked Seasons without a complete God Squad. And that is not counting Player's Clutch and Quirks that can also aid players.
I am not really too upset with this, because all players have access to these cards (even though most are behind a paywall called a Chase Pack), but at this point, why not just remove the 99 cap so that everyone can see the true levels of some of these elite cards.
-
If Sets are back next year, I might ride off into the sunset. The use of sets was really the death of theme teams. It just wasn't fun watching all these great players being unusable in most modes. But on the bright side, I did have 5 different Trouts
-
Thank you for the advice. Definitely helps putting together a team that has a remote chance
-
Before I start, I do know and have commented on the death of theme teams with the adoption of Sets this year. That being said, using only Sets 4 and 5, I am struggling to find enough pitching to fill a 5 starters and a bullpen for a Rockies' theme Team.
Here is who I have so far
German Marquez (90)
Roy Oswalt (Astros)
Brett Saberhagen (Red Sox)
Tyler Anderson (Dodgers)
????Bullpen
Justin Lawerence
Adam Ottavino
Daniel Bard (Wild Card from Set 1)
Jon Gray (PS Reliever)
???????
???????
???????Anyone else have suggestions that can fit in for pitchers? They can be on a different team, but have at one point played for the Rockies. I usually do cards only, but it is almost impossible with the structure that is set up the year.
99 glitch is ruining online Co-op.
