    @theBlindRhino_NSW I’d love to get a better sense of how to invest in the market. But it’s not an enjoyable aspect of the game for me.

    I am resigned to the idea that I’ll never get live collections done. Maybe in December when everything crashes, but this game will be stale long before that. I can’t compete when the best cards are locked behind hundreds of thousands of stubs. It’s not possible for the average player who isn’t an all day, every day streamer.

    The pack luck has been absolutely atrocious. I finally pulled my first 90+ yesterday, but it’s nearly three months since release. It shouldn’t have taken that long in my opinion. I get needing to dial back the frequency of big hits relative to last year, but the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction. As far as I can tell, SDS has done this to promote more of the grind, specifically with the new DQ, and to entice more players to pay for stubs to buy cards like Shohei, Judge, etc.

    The gameplay has gotten better with updates, but I still feel like pitches and fielding plays are random against the input, and I’ve lost too many close games to bloopers. It almost feels like it’s programmed that way. It’s hard to want to play when I fly out on Perfect-Perfect but my opponent bloops me to death.

    Finally, the content has been getting pumped out with good pacing, but the programs themselves are mid. No one asked for Pipelines Past, especially since we already had the Pipelines program earlier in the year. How many Schwarber, Guerrero, and Seager cards do I need? It feels like we’re churning out the same cards over and over.

    I have always enjoyed this game, but it feels like it’s being developed by folks who aren’t in touch with the player base beyond streamers. I’d like to see the content improve (e.g. new legends, cards, challenges) and the pack luck change.


  • Pack Luck
  • WinningUglySox_PSNW WinningUglySox_PSN

    Pack luck is awful. I’ve probably opened upwards of 500-600 standard packs, Headliners, etc. No high diamonds, and only Trea, Vlad Jr., Contreras, Houck, and a few Egg Hunt players that only garner 3K at most.

    Seems like the odds are off, my luck is off, or both. Doesn’t seem fair when I hear all the time of guys at least pulling Soto, Ramirez, or Witt. I feel like everyone has a high 80s low 90s live series at this point, but I guess I’m unlucky this year.

    Can someone briefly explain how the pitching and hitting gameplay differ? I’m not seeing it with my hand-eye, but trying to understand better when people make claims like, “This guy is a BR monster.” How do player attributes or gameplay differ by online mode?


  • Slow reaction time in the outfield!
  • WinningUglySox_PSNW WinningUglySox_PSN

    I agree. At first I thought it was the power creep effect (meaning lower overall players relative to what we’re used to last year), but I’m wondering if something is up with how their response times are programmed. The game plays very different in fielding and hitting this year than last year. Lots of fun and challenging, but definitely need to adjust and get better.


  • Pack Luck/Odds
  • WinningUglySox_PSNW WinningUglySox_PSN

    I’ve opened 295 packs (mostly Show packs, but a few Headliners). Have pulled 6 diamonds. Given the odds, this seems about right. No 90+ pulls yet. How’s everyone else faring?


  • Hitting / Pitching input
  • WinningUglySox_PSNW WinningUglySox_PSN

    Another issue is defense. My outfielders seem really slow, and the opposing infielders are all platinum glovers.
