My friend has you all beat. Final showdown boss gets a perfect/ perfect pop out to the catcher. Moment of silence for my friends controller 😭🙏

How is that even possible?

I have no idea only thing i can think of is showdown scripting. If that'd happen to me i probably would've just broke everything in the house i could find then burn the house down lmao.

I thought they mentioned them in the DD stream

Oh I see, yeah you're right. You don't have to pre-order to get special edition bonuses.

They dropped the saved Event lineup back on 18, so I would not bet on it happening.

The issue I believe was there were events that had like no Diamonds allowed, and a player would go Diamond on the update during the Event and you'd see Diamonds and people would leave them in their event lineup. I said fix it by ending events before rating update. but they felt it was easier to just not let you save lineup.

Yea I’ve heard that theory, but not from anyone who works for SDS.

And even if that is the reason; the answer is to ensure that only lineups that meet the criteria can register. The answer isn’t to turn this feature off.

You are right, they have ignored the question altogether as far as I remember. We made a big stink about it when it happened in 18 and that has been the prevailing theory. I basically stopped playing events in 18 anyway, stubs were so easy to make with souvenirs that I didnt need to play events.

The jump start I would pass on as gold will be 1k for sure in 2 weeks time. The prospects one is interesting other wise I think it will be much like last year where any earlier content (Mar-May) will he close to QS value by AS break so depends how fast you want things. For me I want Peason so may just see what his cost is, my guess 45k and pick him up

You still think cards will drop to QS value now that you won't be allowed to QS anything that's collected?

Yeah at worst you lock in 1 card ecerythingvelse after that can be sold so there is a chance things drop to QS value quicker the past years to try and get back stubs faster

I plan on making a contact SS CAP with Jeter's stance and likeness

@xELxGENERICOx said in Team Affinity games:

Never played this mode this year. And I didn't hear anything mentioned in the stream; but do you get Stars towards the Innings Programs.

I feel like people are merging Team Affinity and March to October here.

In team Affinity you will earn stars for playing. So if you put players from that team in your lineup and play (conquest, ranked seasons, events, even vs CPU i believe) then you will earn stars for playing games. You would also maybe earn a few minimal stars doing the Team Affinity moments.

Finishing March to October is just one method of earning points for team affinity. In MTO you will earn program stars for playing but team affinity points are earned based on the difficulty you play at and how deep you make it into the run. It does not count innings played with players in that mode.

Ok. So here is a scenario.

I'm dont want to play H2H, other than BR (when I need a Daily completed that will get my more than 2 Stars) and Events. I dont want to jump into RS until I get a decent team.

That being said; can I just play the asssigned Conquest map(s), assigned Moments, assigned Showdown(s), and then play MTO to gather the remaining Program Stars needed to get me to atleast 300 stars?

Or will I have to play some Play vs CPU games to get what I need?

Or if I do NOTHING but MTO, will I get Program Stars towards the Inning Programs?

We don't know yet whether we will need to sneak in some Play vs CPU to earn extra points. It all depends on how many offline style missions that they add to the Inning Programs. Last year, especially in the early missions I had to grind some vs the CPU (although I just redid the main Conquest map as I was at least working towards another 10 pack that way). I also only play offline.

MTO, I would think, should earn you roughly the same number of stars for simply playing the games that you would get playing the same number of innings in Play vs CPU. It may take 3 or 4 MTO games to equal one full 9 inning vs CPU game since MTO games are not full games for the most part.

Sell your dupes or keep them for dailies.

@xELxGENERICOx said in Rethinking original gameplan for '20:

With the news out if today's stream (mainly the part where we can no longer QS any collected card); I may have to rethink my original gameplan.

My OG gameplan was to sell ALL my preorder Diamonds AND Golds and rebuy later in the game's cycle.

I was also planning on selling any Golds/Diamonds that I packed from my presale packs. (Minus Trout/Betts/Yelich/Arenado/Scherzer, if I was lucky enough to pack them)

But I may have to keep some players; as I doubt any LS players will be close to QS value in the coming year.

Thoughts?

I honestly dont know what the gameplan is now. The changes made will have impacts on the game but to what extent and level is hard to judge. I am think as of now to play it safe, not lock anything in but also not sell off anything until the market stabilizes after the first 2 weeks after the full launch on the 17th

I agree with the first part of your statement, not locking anything in for awhile; but what do you mean with not selling until the market stabilizes?

I would assume you would want to sell anything worth value when it's first released because people will want that 'shiny new card'.

I could see waiting until after the original release date; as some people may not get the game early and will need to buy stubs to catch up.

Also, could wait until the first stub sale to sell stuff; since those usually inflate the market?

I'm mainly concerned about the Special Order Diamonds. Once people start hitting those packs, in the XP Reward Path and possibly Conquest drops, they may be the only cards that will hover around QS Value.

I was going to take Ortiz and Rivera (depending on attributes); but I may take the top two that are the most expensive and sell them right away.

I can speculate what I'm 'going to do' but in reality, until we see the reward path, market, etc; it can change multiple times.

@A_PerfectGame said in What I was waiting for finally.:

What is it you guys were waiting for exactly?

I wanted to see if they brought back the XP Path and Inning Programs.

Since I started late, I'm limitied with obtaining certain cards (Gold Tony Perez and Gold Dee Gordon) unless I want to pay premium prices.

This way I know what I'm getting into and what I have to do to compete/obtain early players.

Even though these new rewards arent timed, if I would jump in say around Oct; I'd be up a creek without a paddle, so to speak.

Am I the only one that feels there are too many game modes? I know people will defend this but am I right that there isn’t anyway to get every kind of reward for every mode. In more of a casual player. I don’t enjoy endless games against cpu. I didn’t play March to October at all. I don’t usually total more than 100 games played. That’s a low amount to the 386 wins and 350 losses I commonly see. I enjoyed the game more when It was just the 1 conquest map vs how ever many there was this year. I didn’t get too far in moments. Once it went from an at bat or 2 to win 5 games without giving up 2 runs etc. so am I the only one that feels this way?

It’s just options I feel like cards being game specific is cool. If there’s something you really want you go for it. More options is always good I love variety.

Didn't even have to use my AK

You should be able to get all the LS cards by next friday. All of them are going for under 60000/70000 stubs. Try getting one of the big four (Trout/Arnaldo/Scherzer/Betts) daily and go from there.

It is a mode from an older iteration (‘17 I think).
Folks could add their friends into a league and play seasons with those teams.
Like playing franchise, but online against humans.
I can’t speak to Madden as I never did that, but I did play in many online leagues for NCAA Football back in the day

Tomorrow is the MTO stream.

That's what I thought. Just saw that they updated the Home Page with some MTO stuff. Thanks.

@foge011 said in Pre-order question:

I don't think those are sellable.

I'm pretty sure the Loyalty packs are the ones that arent sellable. Anything you get preorder bonus wise for 20 should be sellable.

Can a Dev please weigh in on this?

Yes, that is correct.
Pre-order choice pack contents are sellable. Loyalty rewards are not.

Thanks Victor!

I think the only ones I ever gave up on were the complete game ones. They just weren’t worth the effort so I would let them reset.

My advice would be to knock that thing out in the event. Go with an all gold outfield and put some gold outfielders with secondary infield positions in the lineup as well. For any infield positions without a viable gold outfield option, put in your best hitting diamond to try and drive the other guys in. Prioritize hitting attributes over defense since it doesn’t matter if you lose. Shouldn’t take long.
