Are perfect releases suppose to hit the spot or is just a random chance like the rest of the game?
@ryansitko11 said in Perfect release missing spots?:
Just random chance. SDS doesn't reward user input
Pretty much. Nothing says rewarding like grooving an 0-2 pitch for a HR on perfect release/input. I'm all for card stats mattering but the amount of override is ridiculous.
@Chuck_Dizzle29 said in A couple of Conquest observations:
Fun fact, simming in conquest is booty cheeks.
Always has been terribly random. I've always enjoyed going into a sim up like 53-10 and losing 30+ fans to take the one tile.

@the_dragon1912 said in 8xp per homerun in HRD:
Let me ask you. Would you have played HRD mode if the XP yield wasn’t so high? Why should you get DD rewards for exploiting a mode that is only played when people want to give their kids something to play to distract them. You all really need to get some perspective
Would I play if it isn’t so high? Would you keep your job now if they starting paying you 33% of what you currently make?
No, but would I expect them to fire me if I exploited their system to get that pay in the first place. HRD is not meant to be a mode tied to DD rewards. Its a fun mode to play against your friends/with your kids, not to gain XP and get level up rewards. I love how crazy this forum went about the astros/redsox cheating but when they do it themselves its alright?
Welcome to the internet. First time?
Completely agree btw.
On the plus side it will let you use cards that are terrible fielders without worry of them costing you runs and it allows you to not have to choose between say a personal favorite or a card with slightly better stats. I know I come across the latter quite a bit at almost any position.
On the downside, it takes out the only remaining "managerial" skill decision left. They already removed injuries to non-pitchers removing any reason to think about bench construction/roles.

Can they be used for exchanges? I think in past years, you'd just use them for exchange missions.
If you read all the other posts you'd know you can't exchange them
Apologies, I don't seem to have the time you do to read every single topic to know this off hand.
Uhhhhhh...about 95% of the posts are about this very thing...trying to be a smarta$$ just made yourself look like a dumba$$
On the first page, this is the only topic mentioning no sell players and by my original statement, I don't read every post. So in addition to your inability to read and infer conclusions, it appears you also failed several math classes. Go ahead and keep embarrassing yourself though.
Ok first of all I simply pointed out if you read all the other posts about this very topic you would know...no idea why that would upset you so much...everything ok in your life? Second the only one that should be embarrassed is you..first page huh...pretty lazy.
Everything is fine, thanks for asking.
For what its worth, and apologies if I inferred this incorrectly, but your original post said "If you read all the other posts you'd know you can't exchange them" which comes off as incredibly condescending, instead of just saying it doesn't work.
Nothing lazy about reading the first page. I just check every so often and if there is a topic that seems interesting, I'll check. This is the first one I clicked on about no-sell players. Only search deeper if I'm looking for a specific answer.
Anyway, that is all. Have a good day.
@genopolanco said in Beyond toxic vile experience in a game:
Pause time needs to be changed for sure.
Why do we need to be able to pause for like 10 minutes during a 40 minute game? Lol
This. I miss the old way. You had like 4 or 5 minutes to use (which was still excessive imo) Now you get like 3 minutes for the first inning and like an extra minute every inning after, if not more. Plus with the 3 batter limit, you're going to the pen even less so it makes even less sense to have that much pause time.
I get pausing real quick in some situations (most of which are probably also under the "could have taken care of that before you started" variety) but pause time is far too generous.
The player's league games are incredibly fun to watch and even more so with some of these flaws being highlighted almost every game.
@thelowrie5 said in Sorry for the questions:
How do I unlock Duke, Roy Oswalt and Helton?
You can't unlock them anymore unless you have enough stars to get to 300 via showdown/conquest/collections. Otherwise they are purchasable on the market.
@thelowrie5 said in Sorry for the questions:
Can I just buy them and use them towards the 2nd inning voucher and 75 stars still?
Yes.
@thelowrie5 said in Sorry for the questions:
Can I still collect the legends Maddux, Smoltz, Mantle and get the 20 or so stars for that 1st inning program?
Yes...buy via market and you can lock them in if you want.
@thelowrie5 said in Sorry for the questions:
Do I have to collect Carter, Hanram, and Feller before new bosses are released May 1st?
You can only "collect" one of them via program when you reach 300 stars. You can buy the other two at anytime (or all 3 if you don't make it). Just like with the others, you can always buy and lock in after the 3rd inning program starts.
@thelowrie5 said in Sorry for the questions:
Will I be able to still collect points from April players in May and beyond?
Not sure what you're asking here. I'm pretty sure you can still collect the player program guys and lock them in and do their related missions even after the inning program "ends".
@thelowrie5 said in Sorry for the questions:
If I collect Carter, Hanram and Feller and get the voucher and 75 stars, can I sell them after? (I thought I saw a post about that)
Technically, you're not supposed to be able to. That's a glitch.

@Nanthrax_1 said in Sorry for the questions:
There are no time limits to collecting and getting the stars, or for monthly programs.
The only time limit is the daily missions. Those end for previous innings
Also to slightly expand on this. The only thing that I believe expires at the end of the current "featured" inning program are:
-Daily mission stars
-Stars for just playing the game (no notifications but you'll notice slight increases as you play)
-Winning Ranked/online games. There is currently a mission to win 10 games in ranked seasons and 10 games in online. I'm fairly certain that once the inning moves to inning 3 program that all ranked/online wins will count towards the mission for the 3rd inning.Anything listed as Playing Online (except for Dailys) will go to what ever program has them available.
IE; If you dont start playing RS until the 5th Inning. Once you start playing, any win up to 10, will give you credit for that Mission in the current AND previous Programs; as long as they weren't already completed.
Interesting. Did you test this or have a source? I tend to get my 10 ranked wins during each month so I can't personally test. Be entertaining to get 15 star boosts for all inning programs at once.
I figured ones like the current "Get XBH with FOTF players" would still be do-able but assumed the "win online" was like dailies and only available for the current inning.
When I get to my console; I'll send a screenshot. I didn't start playing Ranked until this Inning (you can check my recorded on here).
I have 6 or 7 wins for 2nd Inning AND the same amount for 1st Inning.
Also, I never attempted the 6 Hrs with Curtis Granderson online until this month (that's in the 1st Inning) and its tallying now.
Well, thats surprisingly unexpected and good to know.
The Granderson thing I expected to not be an issue (I'm actually banking on being able to lock in and do missions with Gibson and Posada later to make further progress in inning 2) but never expected wins to count across innings.
Thanks for the info.
@dantheranman said in IV Chipper:
I would hold onto the 3 bosses now and not lock them in. The 1st inning bosses were going for 50k earlier in the 2nd inning
Two things imo:
Nice...I just got cole last night (thanks market crash). Now I need Belli, DeGrom, Scherzer and Arenado. Need to get more stubs or a lucky pull out of some free packs. This is easily the closest I've ever been to a collection reward.
@SaveFarris said in Unpopular opinion:
... Jose Vidro?
Carlos Baerga?
Termel Sledge?
Vidro played 8 years in Montreal and started his career there. Sledge....hardly worthy of being in the game. 4 year career....first year was 2004 with the Expos.
Baerga...is a stretch and a half. Played his very last year as a Nat so technically could qualify as a non-expo Legend but be hard to see him as anything outside of a CLE card.

@SaveFarris said in Happy Bobby Bonilla Day:
Everyone who guessed that as of today, Bobby Bo is the highest paid player of 2020, raise your hand...
Prince Fielder would like a word
Yeah Prince making 9 mil today. Chris Davis will replace Bonilla in 2023 with like 3.5mil/year in deferred payments.
Feel like any current LS players that won will get a juiced up card. Not sure how many total there will be....first pack has a selection of 6, so if 2 sets maybe 12 total?:
LS Option: Judge (won as rookie + Set rookie HR record), Alonso (did same as Judge the next year), Cano (Father/son duo win), Harper (Won at home stadium), Cespedes (2x winner), Stanton (Generic power-hitter prototype throw in)
Legend Option: Prince Fielder reveal! (2x winner), Griffey Jr (3x winner) , Dave Parker (first HR Derby Champ), Frank Thomas, Cal Ripken Jr (Both legends with no high end card yet), Garret Anderson (low diamond collection reward only...so kind of another generic throw in to give him a high diamond option)
Possible legend sub: Morneau for his win against Hamilton who had a monster day but tired himself out at Yankee stadium
@TEXAS10PT said in Has SDS ever had post playing days rights to the following players (any possibility that they attained rights this year)?:
To the best of my memory, these guys have been in the game going back from 16
Ichiro
A Rod
Mark Teixera....I miss that card
Jake PeavyI think that's it.
All 4 of those guys were active in 2016 so they would have been included already.
Honestly, I can't recall anyone who has retired and been in the game the following year immediately.

@Catman9186 said in I Got My Second Mike Trout W/ a Free Pack for logging in:
I got Trout as a Post-Game rewards on Veteran back in March. Gotten lots of diamonds for free including Verlander being the most expensive. However, I wish I had another Trout. I have DeGrom, Arenado, Cole, Bellinger and Scherzer as the last I need to finish MLB.
Nice. I got mine off a Conquest Win on Rookie lol.
I've only gotten 5 free diamonds this year? Trout as post game....Bregman, Aroldis Chapman, Acuna and Strasburg via packs. Bregman was twitch drop, the others were free packs from missions/programs.
I'm only missing Cole, Bellinger, Arenado, DeGrom and Scherzer as well.
One more free Mike Trout will certainly cover the cost of at least three of them...lol.
Probably 2 now. Trouts price was down to like 260k last night. But yeah...I've been hoping I'd get lucky with some free diamonds (either Trout #2 or one of the guys I need) to help but I feel like my luck was used up for the year on a rookie post game reward Trout.
I'm like 0-40 on diamonds with Ballin packs...but have a 100% gold rate (Technically its like 103% since one of them had 2 golds lol)
If you're ultimate goal is Mantle, I think it makes sense to forgo keeping Ellsbury and sell him for stubs and just roll with Buxton (unless you really can't use him well).
I'm starting to wish I didn't lock in some of my earlier boss picks that I don't use and should have sold them for stubs.

42-21. Think I'm 1-3 in my last 4 though.
I've been mercied twice (just not a good day on the mound) and no clue how many of my wins are from rage quits.
Everyone has at least 1 card that they cant use that others seem to do well with. I'm this way with any version of Gallo. Guy destroys me when I play him but I can't hit water falling out of a boat when using him.
Last year everyone I played seemed to use SS Ripken but I never could...swing was too slow so I preferred the Vizquel card.
