Well you should know how to hit him by now then.

@MaxHarvest said in Ahh stub sale, great time to rip packs:

Packs are worthless always , unless they are free

@InigoMontoya_75 said in Harper and Thomas have lower prestige requirements:

Anyone noticed this? The only player in all of the prestiges who requires less hits than Thomas is Bellinger. Ortiz needs far more stats.

I wonder if they're lowering the requirements because so few "average" players (i.e. me) have any prestiges complete.

If they did good. Not everyone is an online player. Large programs like that should be able to be completed either on or offline. Maybe next year.

who dropped?

Castellanos is terrible. He never should have gotten upgraded in the first place.

Byyyyeee

Byyyyyeee enjoy your horrible game.

Thought you were done. Why are you still posting?
Attention seek much?

The three triples in conquest took me 2 games. I’d give that a shot esp if you need to finish conquest.

@eatyum said in Any luck with HRD packs?:

Eh, I just bought all the low tier off the market to save myself the trouble of spending 20k to get them in packs.

Ditto.

There was a Schwarber market?

If you link your account then Drops are redeemed by watching any streamer playing MLB The Show. We can't give specifics, but we set them up to be pretty generous.

Been watching streamers all day and haven't received since 2pm

Same thing here, I watched streamers for about 4 hours and never received a single pack since around the end of SDS live streams. I didn’t get anything for watching streamers play the game at all! Hope this gets fixed soon!

I watched from 10am until 2am yesterday...one stream at a time, volume on, twitch showing me as “on,” posting in chat.... ZERO packs.

@D_e_m_I_s_E said in Latency, pitch speeds, and user input ...:

Been saying this for years. Also been chastised for it for years. Been getting worse but this year is really bad. I think it has more to do with the pandemic and amount of people on the internet with this year being worse. Game needs better matchmaking. I would rather have 5 minutes getting a good connection than instantly finding a game with a bad connection.

I’ve read some of your posts about ping and they were all very intelligent and made sense.

I feel bad for people who don’t play much, and try out ranked for the first time and end up getting a bad game or a few bad connection games in a row.

I am a fairly competitive person and when you get those [censored] connections, and 93 is 110, it’s like you have to battle your already equally good opponent with a major handicap. I wonder if the opponent experices lag the same as you in a bad game or if it is just one sided.

I have 400 MBs hard wired , fiber internet that moves at the speed of light, and I try to be home game to ensure that I’m hosting. But you still get those bad games no matter what. Comebacklogic being in England with a smaller player base makes me think a lot of the millisecond delays and glitches might be a distance thing. Like if I get someone close to me (I’m in upstate ny) it’s smoother, but if I have to match with someone in Canada or California I have a better chance and experiencing latency induced glitches.

I’ve Also noticed when I speed test my PlayStation it maxes out around 70 down and 6 up, every other device in my house can pull 400/40. Not sure if that is part of the problem and I don’t know how accurate that PlayStation test is but no matter what I tinker with it stays at those rates on the internal test

I can tell usually in the first inning whether I am going to win the game or not and it has nothing to do with the opponent. I have mentioned numerous tell tale signs that I look for.

Haven't really looked into the playstation speed test too much. I have gig internet and am usually around 30 down/5 up on the ps. Heard it was capped but I have seen it around 80 up/80 down before but that is very rare.

My connection stuff are just theories since I don't have access to the actual data. I just know there is a serious connection issue somewhere. Could be my connection for all I know. I would like some connection info like pubg and other games have that tell my ping, packet loss and other things. With softball and corporate challenge more than likely being back, I will not purchase next year. I wasn't going to purchase this year but the pandemic changed that.

The up down doesn’t matter as much as the ping rate (and WiFi if your not wired). And it’s not just on your end but the opponents as well.

I’ve had same issues as stated here. One game no lag another game lag city. And like last night it seemed to be one sided. When I was pitching every pitch went to the plate in “slo mo” while my opponent was throwing 90mph fast balls down the middle and I was consistently “late” even on sell out FB swings.

@STEVO651779652 said in Okay, Live series Mike Trout, how many times have you got him?:

Been playin since 2017 still yet to pull Trout... With the amount of packs i've opened kind of blows my mind lol.

15 here and this year was first time. And I def spend $$ on packs..

Of course I pulled him in a free pack

Once......ever...

@beanball0571 said in Check swings:

In my last two games my opponents have combined for 48 checkswings, and 44 of them being balls. Some of these are completely ridiculous on how they aren’t strikes. So SDS let’s fix this where guys with 125 discipline can barely get a check swing but guys with low discipline can just check away. By the way a 91% percent check swing rate is astronomic

I had a game like that the other day too. Totally frustrating.

I could not play until this year due to trash internet. Although my connection speed was fast it also matters how your ps is connected to said internet.

I do notice now when I am playing someone with a poor connection. There are def lags for example when a pitch is incoming at I swing. It “freezes” for a second.

lol. So much for people that planned on making $$$ on the Tops Now cards. Free falllll...weeeeeeeee....

@sufferingbravesf said in Best way to get through Team Affinity:

Does anyone have any tips on how to get through the team affinity stages? I've had DD since April, don't play everyday though cause I don't stream, but only have one team at 100% complete.

$$$$$$$$$$

@Chambers1734 said in Topps Now - Get on it!:

if you want the lightning card i'd say get these topps now cards before tomorrow, they're already starting o rise about 70% of what their value was yesterday and in some cased (Travis Shaw and d'Arnaud) are at about 107% increase compared to same time yesterday. Can only see them rising

Or you can just do the missions and get them for free...

@Bob_Loblaw1984 said in Locking in Prestige Cards:

There is no reason to lock them until you’ve accumulated all the stats.

I also don’t understand why anyone would play DD if they never play online.

There's a lot of us. Trust me. I get a lot out of playing only the A.I.
I get nothing out of playing a human. Mainly because when i started gaming, there was no online, until Sega's NFL 2K came along.

Amen to this. Online is for suckers. When 95% of a game's issues are attributed to how it plays online, I'm not about to put myself through that.

Same here. I try to avoid online if possible. However, most programs can be achieved faster or require online. Something they should change in future editions.

@MaNNYY_RaYY said in Can some explain this?:

Easy. That’s only their RS record. They could’ve played 193384884 event games. Like me, I don’t play a lot of RS, but I play a TON of event games, and I have some prestige guys like Larry Walker in my lineup

That would explain it.
