Community Forum

The forum is ALWAYS full of complaints. I've been on here since 2018, and in that time literally every single version has been the worst thing in the history of gaming according to a majority of the comments. SDS isn't "listening" because they're smart enough to know that no matter how much you complain most of you will continue to buy the game anyway, and they know that even if they were able to fix every single one of your complaints you'll all be right back here in 2027 with a long list of new ones.

@Onix_Savage22_PSN I've been on the forum since 2018, and it's exactly like this every single year. The only thing that changes is the specific reasons for the outrage.

I find it amusing that the forum is filled with 'i hate this game!' posts and also 'Waah why did the servers go down?' posts. If the game is so terrible then why do you care if its up and running? You all confuse me lol

@Pergo_MLBTS I don't understand the complaints about offline play. I'm an offline player and I usually have plenty of stuff to do. And when I don't, I do something wild and crazy that a lot of players apparently have never considered. I take a break and play a different game for awhile, or maybe just go outside to touch some grass!

It's funny how people always whine when the game doesn't provide enough content to play 40 hours a week like its their full time job, even though it pretty much does if you remember that there's a lot more to the Show than just DD.

Clearly they will miss your 59.50

It takes more than one person to hold a company accountable for a disappointing product. Fact is if this were the mentality of even 15% of the player base it would go along way toward forcing some sort of accountability amongst all developers , not just SSDS.

You should be congratulating his ambition in the matter not criticizing it.

If 15% of the player base left, it would probably lower the strain on the servers enough for the other 85% of us to have a flawless online experience. I hope this happens! lol

People seem to have a wildly exaggerated idea of "the community's" importance. The regulars on this forum represent maybe one or two percent of the game's fanbase, and even those numbers are probably a little generous. If every single one of you stopped buying the game tomorrow and convinced everyone close to you to do the same, sales of the Show still wouldn't drop enough for SDS to even notice a difference financially. The majority of the people who buy the game are casuals who have absolutely no idea that there was a cheating issue to begin with.

@samguenther1987_PSN Yes, he does show up as red. I got lucky and pulled him last night.

I usually try to stay positive about the game and in general I think a lot of the complainers go overboard, but on this one issue I gotta grab my pitchfork and join the angry mob. Bots in the market have gotten ridiculous and I really wish they'd do something about it. Flipping has been a frustrating experience this year.

@SpawnOfDitka_XBL I don't understand why you're still here. If I hated this game as much as you then you'd never know about it because I would have already disappeared from the forum to focus on playing something different that I actually do enjoy. I could address your points in more detail, but it's really not worth the effort. I have better things to do with my time than debate people who can't make an argument without resorting to childish unprovoked personal insults. Consider yourself reported. Good day.

In my experience, the percentages are actually pretty accurate. I'm not good enough to win at the higher difficulty levels, but after six or seven attempts playing on all star with an average chance of 45-50% I came away with three cards.

I think everyone should mentally prepare themselves for the fact that whatever action they end up taking, they probably won't announce it and we'll most likely never know for sure if anyone got banned unless the banned players choose to whine about it online. So a couple weeks from now when this board inevitably fills up with 'Why aren't they doing anything?' posts, I hope the more rational players among us will realize that silence from SDS doesn't necessarily mean that the issue wasn't addressed.

Probably an unpopular opinion around here, but I honestly don't care about the whole glitch "scandal". I don't support cheating and I hope the people who did it receive some sort of punishment, but beyond that why should I get all upset about something that had absolutely zero effect on me? I was actually offline that day and didn't know anything had happened until it was all over anyway.

"But they got all those cards for free and I had to grind for them!" The grind is the fun part for me. If I was able to easily get the best cards right away, I'd be excited for about five minutes but then get bored and completely lose interest in the game.

"But it gave them an unfair advantage online!" I don't play online. Don't care.

"But their teams are better than mine now and I'm jealous!" I barely have enough free time to manage my own lineup. I'm not worried about who other players have.

"But they messed up the market!" And it was back to normal within a few days.

So yeah, I'm not a part of the glitch mob. If they all get banned, that's cool. If they don't, that's cool too. It's just a stupid videogame. Isn't important enough to get all worked up over.

Stories like these make me kinda glad that I suck at the game, because I almost never have a negative experience on the lower levels of ranked. Most of the teams I match up with are as bad or worse at the game than me so we're just focused on having fun because we know we're never making world series anyway.

I still have about 10 cards left, but if i hadnt got sidetracked grinding the Miguel Cabrera collections then id be a lot closer. I usually dont finish until around the all star break anyway. Ive really just been doing all offline content then playing online if I have time, and selling all dupes.

I usually don't complete the LS collection until sometime around the all star break. This year with flipping not really being a viable option anymore, I'm still sitting at about 10 cards away from finishing. Definitely more difficult than it's been in the past, but I've managed to adjust and I'm still pretty close to my typical pace.

I actually encounter very little cheating where I play on the lower levels of ranked. If you're a cheater then you'll most likely have far too many wins to ever get matched up with me. Being terrible at the game does have its perks lol

@SavageSteve74_PSN

Flip/Invest - Me neither
Spend money - Never do
10 win BR runs - I'm not good enough at the game for that.
Get lucky with pack pulls - My best pulls are Skenes and Seager, so nothing incredibly special.

I'm currently sitting at 10 cards from completing the live series, five cards from Jram and 18/21 on cabrera collections.

The grind is definitely harder than it's been in the past but still very doable.

@SpawnOfDitka_XBL I play offline 90 percent of the time and I actually agree with every word of your comment. I genuinely don't care about getting better at the game, and I actually do have lots of fun mindlessly racking up stats against the cpu. I'm wierd I know lol.

And yes, i do have plenty of grinding methods. The game has come a long way since the days when offline had play vs cpu, one conquest map and that was pretty much it for the whole year.

So, youre totally ok with a player getting rewards they didnt earn as long as that player is you? Are you outraged by the cheating, or just outraged because you didnt benefit from it?

I can't hit on hall of fame. I just bought the card.
