Hopefully everyone fills this out. Whether or not SDS changes anything who knows. I did let them know a lot of what’s not good in this game.

Survey?

How do you know from which area of the country your opponent lives?

Disconnected your Nintendo account and try again. If it gives you two options (accounts) connect the newer account.

Game dropped price on PS5 if you're interested. $50 for the digital standard edition.

Wow! Thats early.

@capardo_XBL said:

@rms1980rms_psn thanks. Yeah, I tried that particular showdown. As my usual, I got three of the 5 showdowns (but not the last one). Got 3 cards…but not the 20 points for the program.

Not doing it again. Showdowns and DQ are awful offline modes. (That’s as far in my rant as I’m going to go….)

Just remember; you'll need the cards associated with that Showdown to get 99 Jackie.

I bought just incase worst case I sell back on April 24th but real question what are we thinking for egg hunt and trout only cards in game I don’t have minus wbc which I will be using my skip on. And some of the awards cards and adley.

If you have the stubs; buy them. You may not need them THIS Collection; but you'll definitely need them for future collections.

This is what I should've done, when I pulled Shohei. Sold him and bought some of the FB and Legend cards.

I'm in no hurry for Pujols, or even Tulo, and I could've eventually earned back enough to buy Shohei later.

Instead I locked him in and spent an additional 40Kish to finish the Dodgers and BOTH Shohei and Manny aren't even in my lineup.

Any advice on how to do the negro league storyline fielding missions where you have to throw a runner out? They are giving me lots of trouble . Thanks for any help.

Catcher ones or infielder ones?

@NWOStunna_PSN said:

My pack lot over last week has been awful. I grind mini seasons. Classic gives you more packs but it takes twice as long. WBC doesn’t take long, but my pulls have been dog . It’s very discouraging.

What you have to figure is how much more Classic gives than WBC.

Pulled Skenes (sold), Raleigh (sold), Lindor (sold), Judge (collected), Ohtani (collected), Witt (collected) and Aroldis (dupe - sold and bought Buxton).

@Cryptex-v2_XBL said:

They have to turn off the automatic shift for online play. The amount of times an opposing gets bailed out on a routine ground ball or fly ball. If you want the shift on, you should have to do it automatically. It’s costing too many games.

You can turn it off in the Main Settings screen and it will stay off.

Anyome else having issues editing lineups?

Takes at least 10 seconds to swap out one player.

Im not worried anout any Legends abd Flashback Collection Reward because chances are I'll be to busy grinding needed stats/PXP with other cards, in that position, to complete other programs.

Heck, I haven't played more than a handful lf games with my "Main" squad because I'm to busy trying to finish the TA Program.

@The412Smoke_XBL said:

On moments when you select restart it should immediately put you back in the moment. The two presentation screens we have to skip EACH AND EVERY TIME need to be removed. This should be a simple fix & a no brainer.

Yeah. Thats like 10 seconds of your life you'll never get back. smdh

@SDS_JoeK_PSN

Fix this and we wont be talking about the tools and methods

Wow i just said what your boss should have said to you

Joe has nothing to do with the programming if this game. He's a liaison between the Forum Community and the developers of the game.

@taylorcarpenter_MLBTS said:

First year not doing live collection unless I pull shohei or judge.

I'm buying cards I want to use and then investing in the spotlight cards assuming we may get something on par with Carlos Santana from last year.

I'm just using all my favorite swings
DH seager
Lf tucker
RF acuna
2b ketel
3b jram
1b corey seager
DH albies

Prob running those guys into the ground cause I love their swings. Past 5 years I was always trying to keep up or use the highest attribute guys

They're all p5 so I have good mods working too.

How do you have two Seagers and two DHs?

SDS_Joe,

Everyone who has the skill set to do what I described, much less the basic amorality to do it, is well aware of the method basics. Though I do not participate on what is called the "dark web" these cheat codes are frequently discussed in detail and anyone who desires to cheat can easily find them.

Nothing in this thread remotely makes it easier to do. What I wrote itself is so elementary that it would provide no assistance to anyone not already well aware of the details and willing to exploit it. BTW: This is precisely why Sarge and I privately provided SDS a roadmap to kill Lagrassa long before it reared its ugly head, and that was done in private.

I would be far more sympathetic to your reply IF SDS had taken our concerns seriously and implemented the ideal solution, which was very doable. Instead, SDS's actions almost seemed to desire the rise of Lagrassa so it could be exploited as an excuse to do what ended up happening several months later.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

So this is the lineup my program comes up with for best overall squad currently. Obviously this is a program so it is just crunching numbers and doesn't or can't add any value based on which players have good swings or bad swings, nor does it give any value to being a switch hitter (I have a separate best switch hitter lineup report).

It does it's best to fill the spots, taking into account secondary positions (which is why Albert is in RF and Jackie Robinson is at 1B) to create the best overall lineup of 9 players. It takes into account hitting, fielding and speed (and blk/pop time for catchers).

For pitchers I know people have preferred pitches but again that is way to involved for my program. It does however place some value in Speed Differences between pitches and average break of all pitches. But that is a small amount in comparison to the attributes

Takes into account fielding and puts someone with 34 Fielding, in their Primary Position, in a secondary position in the Outfield.

If someone is running 99 Pujols in ANY OF spot; I'm hitting it to him EVERY CHANCE I GET!

First BR game. Opponent msgs me asking for 3 Ks and they'll let me win in 3 innings.

Proceed to tell them to earn it.

Gane ends and I happen to check out his game history.

MULTIPLE games (BR and Events) where the scores range from 50 runs each to one gane that has a final score of 110-111.

Guess its ok to boost.

Just packed LS Shohei from a Standard packs that was in the MS Championship Bundle!

First year I packed Shohei, Judge, and Witt in the first month of the games cycle.

Also packed Skenes, Lindor, and Raleigh; whom I ended up selling earlier.

Or just throw strikes. Nobody has time for count battles. Games failing worse every year so anyone who’s good at it needs to touch some grass. Gamer nerds. PlayStation peasants and their Walmart WiFi. Waste of time playing this game online. You guys all ruined the game and in 5 years they’re not even going to make the show anymore

Or don't swing at junk. If my opponent is swinging at pitches outside the zone; why would I throw inside the zone?
