I wonder how many fewer complaints would exist if SDS adjusted the RNG even a tad. There are instances where the perfect swing outs pile up similar to how nuisance streamers stack criminal charges. Then there's Kyle Schwarber turning into Brenton Doyle as a fielder. The showdown concept is great but the execution creates for a frustrating experience at times.

Do you have to complete the showdown twice to get the four cards? Only two per?

Sounds like you're tiring of those rookie/veteran brain rot contests where you're expecting big margin wins so you can get missions done faster.

That's Topps Now for ya.

Hell, I'm grateful if I get a gold. Sometimes I don't even get a silver.

Well, this is goofy.

After playing for about 9 days, I'd agree that they need to balance the output on good/bad swings. I'm finding myself far too many times saying "THAT was the hit?" when completing moments and rookie/veteran grinds. I'll hit consecutive perfects for outs; however, in-between that are TERRIBLE swings that should generate swing-and-misses but they end up as hard-contact XBHs.

I guess you could say that it evens out. If anything, bad feedback is probably rewarded more often than good feedback is punished.

Is there a fee? I might try a league (not sure how well my schedule would mesh though). I used to love leagues back in the early/mid-2000s with Madden.

These are supposed to appear in My Inventory - My Packs, correct? If so, I'm also waiting (and yes, I did complete program & pre-ordered).

I don't think it's been much different than 24. Lots of good/perfect outs directly at fielder; however, lots of early outside corner / late inside swings with weak PCI placement that find a gap or go over the fence. The bad output being rewarded probably occurs more frequently than the good output being punished...at least for me.

I mean if casual players don't like grinding then they shouldn't play DD. That's the entire point of the mode. They don't have to finish it in one week. Also, those casuals aren't god-squadding so they don't need to do all 32 team affinities or get every single card. It appears that, after 55,000, that most of TA is excess waste or vouchers that you can't immediately use.

Remove the outer PCI, especially on higher levels.

Why does a PS4 version mean that the PS5 version must be held back? I grew up with older systems and I don't recall that being the case with crossover years for SNES/N64, PS1/2, 2/3, etc. The newer system had a clearly better game that was coveted. More importantly, if PS6 is released in '27/'28, does that mean Sony will hold back for another 5+ years into that system's existence?

Off the top of my head, Roy Halladay, CC Sabathia, Jake Arrieta, Zack Greinke, Randy Johnson, Johan Santana, Jacob deGrom, Rollie Fingers, and Bob Gibson got out of position cards as position players so presumably they get the hitting boosts.

So they created a non-OoP card where half of his boosts are for OoP cards; however, two drops ago they created an OoP card (Warren Spahn) that provides better contact boosts along with POW vs R.

Are the OoP cards that popular?

Cy Young boosts include CON R and CON L ... How does that work?

Ohtani?

From what I can remember and tell, he never won one.

He really wasn't that good defensively this past season, and played alot of DH

That's weird how they're basing a captain card for Retro Finest on a player's '24 age season. I just assumed they would've created him based on one of his GG / prime hitting years.

I'm a little confused as to why this card has such low defensive numbers but 70+ STL stats ... but whatever I guess it's good enough haha.

It's non 2024 finest.
