I did not agree with your comment, until I did the Mazeroski 'nerf bat' HR Moment. 🤪

Absolutely infuriating.

Down again... SoCal.
2nd time in three days.

DD is down for me also.

@LadySwampfox_XBL
It is not just you and there is no definite way to consistently fix it on the user end... that I am aware of.

I have noticed that avoiding Moments, avoiding Showdown, and not making any other uniform changes (after your custom uniforms are created), seems to have mitigated the problem.

If I do any of those things, I sometimes have to reload every logo and re-sync the game to fix the bug. ...As exiting DD and logging back in to DD does not always work.

There are plenty of other threads on this issue if you want more information.

I am getting a Network Error too. Hopefully it is fixed asap.

Source?

Correct. Obviously, there are bugs within their base code. Debugging their skeleton code, and coding a fix with each issue, would be a monumental task that Sony will not support. You basically need to build a new game from scratch. Since that is not realistic with their limited resources, SDS has to build on top of their (bugged) base code every year.

It's like having a Lego tower that has problematic pieces within the base. You cannot just replace those pieces, without collapsing some other pieces built on top of it.

Even with the annual issues, I still enjoy the game and think SDS has done a fantastic job providing interesting content and solid online H2H gameplay.

Or ... "There are too many foul balls".

@JebMLB_XBL
My guess is Jackie Robinson.

Him and Votto had the only career .409 OBP.

Although, Edgar Martinez, Victor Martinez, Wade Boggs, and Paul Molitor each had single season OBP of .409.

@jaychvz_XBL
Yeah that was a great moment for Team USA.
It would be cool if he got a WBC flashback card... with that pic on the card.

@TheRupster12_XBL
His cards have been broken for a while. His 2SFB forces a contact swing.

My guess for LS collections are:

MLB: RF Ichiro Suzuki (Sea)
NL: SP Josh Beckett (MIA)
AL: 2B Dustin Pedroia (BOS)

Love it!

I thought they may use a WBC theme and so I am glad they have USA Captain Judge on the cover.

@Belli_bomb_PSN
Yep. Mookie and Yamamoto were great. Kiki came through with a clutch play. Smart by Roberts giving Miggy the start.

However, it will take more than 3 runs to win it tomorrow. The bats better come alive or it might get ugly in Toronto.

@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL
Sounds about right, it was brutal. I had to take a break and walk away after every couple of matches or my eyes would start crossing. ...If I can do it, then you can. Just be patient, work counts, look for your pitch, and take one match at a time. The Ai Pitchers will eventually make mistakes.

BTW: Go directly to Clemons, and practice a couple of times. Keep note of how many runs you can score against him and that will show you how many henchmen points you will need to acquire. After my first go around, I failed but was still able to tag 11 runs on Clemons. When I did the Showdown the second time, I only needed 7 or 8 runs when I got to Clemons, and so I knew that I could get that if I was patient.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN
I completed this Showdown on my second try and went 9 of 10. I was able to beat Clemons by making him throw a lot of pitches. Basically, I drafted a lot of lefties, sit my PCI middle center, and waited for a middle-high fastball to crush. I had about 15 outs left when Clemons was almost out of energy and his pitches became more flat and only topped out at 99-100 mph. This is when I did most of my damage and scored the final four runs I needed with around 10 outs to go.

I used this strategy for all the Pitchers except for O'Day. For him, I sit my PCI low. I was able to get a hit and immediately subbed him for a speed guy off the bench. Then I stole 2nd and 3rd and used contact swing to knock in my runner from 3rd.

• I recommend having a couple of speed guys on the bench to sub in for slower runners on base. There are too many instances where you will hit into a double play... so stealing 2nd is important when you only need a run or two with just a few outs remaining.

@sbchamps17_NSW
Sale pitches from a unique, high-velocity, sidearm windup. It's just quicker than some traditional wind-ups.
That is who I picked also. He is the one Pitcher than can give me 4-5 solid innings against very good players on AS and HOF.

BTW:
*That CP Roki card is going to be .

I have nine more collections left. I am going to work on the Neon TA and Summer Mini Season simultaneously to knock those out. The other seven collections may take a while because I have no idea how to acquire those cards without buying them from the market. I may skip the Standout collection due to that Posada card cost.

@elway7751_PSN
I do not think SDS has ever claimed this game was an exclusive "simulation". While they do incorporate some realism into the game, it has always had some arcade aspects as well. I remember in '14 or '15, hitting a 500 ft.+ homerun with Edmonds, off of a pitch just above his shoe laces. That is not sim.
