So glad to have reached Diamond level 85 and I get a non-sellable diamond card when I'm Bellinger, Scherzer and Degrom away from getting Mantle. All I can do is exchange it- what a waste.

I put mine toward ta exchanges

This is a good idea

Maybe more pressing issues to fix than a banner?

If they couldn't fix the banner issue back in march, what makes you think they could handle more serious issues?

They fix issues every year, part of code development... as is worrying about more serious issues first over a banner that as far as I know isn’t game breaking

I know they fix issues every year, but why put in patch notes they fixed it when it wasn't...

Mistakes happen? They could have fixed one scenario causing the issue and a new way to manifest the problem occurred.

Isn’t that what testing is for? Most of these issues should have been fixed/improved by now. Company has been in business for awhile. They say it’s a new hitting engine every year, but it’s not. They have to reprogram it every year because they rush things after beta. It’s just a poorly ran business.

If you fix an issue and you think it’s fixed why and how would you test for something you didn’t know about? If you have a way to test for unknown issues please share as software developers everywhere would love to know.

It hasn't been an issue until this year. Coding that specific area in the program shouldn't mess with any other part of the game, in theory. It should be a simple, when player presses X, homerun banner gets deleted. I think there are some software developers who could improve this game...if the money is right.

@myrdsm said in team collections TA stage 2:

when I collected the Cubs I was at 61 and it took me to 71 (or 1 out of 50, if you want to be technical). I'm not sure about if you do it when you are already at 70 though.

If you're at 65 or something it'll carry over, but once you get to 70 stage 1 locks.

Gorman is really good.

Gorman rips?

Ahaha yeah. I’ve only got maybe 30PAs but he’s hitting over .625

@kidcharlemagne22 said in New Showdowns:

Community complained and now we have a mode that give zero competitivity. That's crazy how people are lazy in video games. If you want no challenge, play conquest in rookie mode.

Go play BR if you want competitive gameplay or RS.

This is against the CPU

The developers themselves claimed that the purpose of Showdown was to create an anxiety and tension filled experience, similar to online competitive, for single player vs CPU.
Competitive gameplay was literally the selling point during the live stream.

But along with not wanting a challenge, people also think they should be able to acquire every TA in like a week or two, so whatever...

Except for the fact that their Showdown sliders are juiced in favor of the CPU something that doesnt happen in BR or RS

Nobody can paint dot after dot after dot like Showdown CPU can

glad to see we are doing moonshot event early this year

You hang it, they bang it! That’s forsure, I feel ya brother. Charlie Blackmon launched an inside cutter the other night off of me.. I was baffled how far inside it was on him and it murdered

@BodamEscapePlan said in The skill gap between AS and HOF is too large:

As "the other side" to this argument as a well below-averagely skilled player, I can say that going from All-Star to Hall of Fame is not fun in the slightest to me. I played an Event game today and at no point did I feel like I had any chance of winning despite the two of us going into extra innings with the score tied at 0-0. I think I put the ball in play a total of 3 or 4 times and ended up with one hit on the afternoon -- which ironically enough came in the very last inning after my opponent finally scored a run.

Obviously that result speaks to my ability but is that the game that SDS wants people to have? I've been playing The Show consistently since TS16 with my only extended break during The Show 18's life-cycle after like mid-June. I'm not an inept gamer as someone who used to frequent offline fighting game tournaments (and do well) and more often than not find myself breezing through games that are considered "difficult" by the general gaming audience (Dark Souls, Nioh, The Surge, Dead Cells, etc.) so it is puzzling why my abilities have never translated to The Show. I have no personal point to make as I've already settled in as someone who knows that I likely won't ever be competing at very high level at this game but I would like to know, is that how SDS wants the game to feel and play at the Hall of Fame difficulty level? Because if not, they have a lot of work to do.

Because those are different games with different skillsets,
I'm not saying the Show is harder than those games per se, but it def takes a different skillset. It's more about tracking a ball.

Cutters have always felt significantly slower regardless of mph. Almost as if it's a slider

This one is so tough. Here are the pitchers you have to face:

Wheeler, Nola, Syndergaard, Scherzer, deGrom.

Ridiculous.

You can’t really wear them down either at 120 pitches Scherzer wasn’t depleted.

Pray you get Soto, McNeil, and Turner as your golds/diamonds

@wakefan3 @zach_b25

FOTF Gleyber...either a soul-crushing homer or a rally-crushing weak groundout. Never an in between for me

For price Whitley is probably better

Get trout if you have the stubs so you’ll be closer to finishing the collection.

In addition to the answers above, you are not using your DD team which is kind of the point. It is also why March To October does not count.

Four prospect pitchers are better than all the players you listed besides Kluber

@CaseyA211 said in Happy with the hitting:

Fielding is still [censored] atrocious but you’re right about everything else.

Granderson just cost me a game with 3 errors in a single play although none of them registered smh

I have a .998 online F%. Idk what you’re doing but it’s not the game’s fault

I've had success with Luzardo, personally. Great pitch mix and speed differential.

Thanks. That explains it alot why the PCI just got tiny for all of my hitters in addition to facing 99 Kluber.
