So...heres one of the greatest defensive players of all time....

And his card is worse defensively than several cards that have been out for two months. Offensively, he's tough to use due to the power numbers.

Next year, can we please fix the issue where 90 percent of cards are effectively unusable? No, they'll just give us another beltran whos better than everyone else. All baseball historians know that the best players of all time were Beltran and Ian Happ.

HEY show some respect to the great Willie Castro and Eric Sogard.

I don't know if I'm in the same boat as far as the content goes, I will say something similar: I would wager anything the CPU reads where your PCI is most of the time.

** I will also swear that, on occasion, if the CPU calculates you've got your PCI correctly positioned, the type of pitch will change on the way in. Breaking balls "jump up" from the pitchers hand and they're extremely easy to pick up, and I have seen it do this only to blow by me at 101 as a FB.**

This "redirecting pitch" conspiracy is very apparent when bunting.

Based on my experience, I can almost guarantee myself a home game if my pregame lineup screen isn't laggy. No lag = home, lag = road.

I play a little bit online. I just can't get into it without more of a socialization aspect like when I played in Madden leagues in the 2000s. Playing random strangers who have Spongebob or pornography as their team emblems is just awkward. Also, with DD there's so much "homework" you need to complete before actually playing that when I'm finally done completing the tasks & objectives I just want to do something else. Starting in '27 I'm thinking of cutting back on DD and maybe try a league or two.

...Anyone care? Any thoughts?

Giancarlo Stanton or John Donaldson. Took Giancarlo.

This Conquest map plays like there are 100 mph winds blowing the ball back into play. 105 exit velos with 30ish launch angles and they're not even close to leaving vs crappy relievers. I don't know why some of the maps play like this...feels intentional. The rewards are solid though...got a Franklin Arias with a deluxe pack from Goal 3.

Kind of funny to release him so soon after Ron Santo.

I didn't play any Weekend Classic games but yesterday I got a Weekend Classic Rewind choice pack where I took Ray Durham. Was that a mistake cause I never got that before.

Has anyone come across that "circle change glitch" or whatever that I see all the streamers complaining about (even though they're giving up lots of HRs in their videos when they throw it lol).

I pulled Judge a few days ago. Definitely feels like they're easing up lately on pack luck.

Diamond Dynasty doesn't replicate real life player ratings. Should Jeff McNeil and Alec Bohm have Stan Musial-esque hitter stats? Of course not. The majority of these Topps Now 90+ overall cards (and guys like Joshua Baez) are in reality 50ish overalls and some are already back in Triple A. They just had a big debut game / at-bat. I could argue about the unrealistic nature of almost every card in the game. You just gotta accept that this meant to be more arcadish like MLB Blitz, not online rated or anytime type of a real baseball simulation.

Not to mention how they rob of you hits when you do square up the ball. Its all designed to halt progression and buy stubs. Cpu fielders all have 99 ability and 99 overall speed also. Big scam and a joke

I've noticed the halting part so much with online when needing one HR to finish an event objective. That last HR will take games no matter how many good perfect swings. Then I finally get that HR and I'll go on a roll even with bad swings (or the opponent dashboards so I'm stuck with 1 left lol).

I'm saving it for next inning. Probably won't be an event for a few days and I finished MP program so it'll give me something to do. Honestly just waiting for some good legends at this point.

7th inning drop hint is ***** ******* (5-7). Randy Johnson would fall into that.

@Teak2112_MLBTS why would online players not want a fan favorite like Gwynn?

Probably referring to the fact that he isn't a switch hitter and wouldn't have huge power numbers. The competitive types want those Carlos Beltran near-maxed out everything cards.

Babe Ruth since the first one is wildly overpriced and it's easier to fit him into the earlier 99s because he's slow and not the greatest fielding stats. I'm guessing that's why they're holding off on updated Negro League series because so many of those guys are five-tool players with good+ power. Has Pedro gotten a card since his 88? If not, he's overdue. Randy is possible too.
