This must be a joke, right? I'm sorry if this comes off as rude, but is every one of your opponents supposed to adjust their play time to your schedule? If you don't have time to play the game, don't play the game. If we matched up and you were away so long that the timer actually expired, I'm clicking that forfeit button and attempting to match up with someone who won't waste my time.

There was about a 2-3 month period over the summer where I knew I was too sick to make it through a 9 inning game without needing to pause for an extended period of time. Do you know what I did? I stuck to 3-inning game modes where I was more likely to make it through without needing to pause, or I played conquest/moments until I was sure I could actually get through a game without wasting my opponents time, or risking a forfeit.

If SDS actually instituted what you're suggesting, as soon as anyone went down by a run or two they would just pause the game indefinitely and wait for their opponent to quit out of frustration. This idea is so incredibly bad that I am convinced it must be a troll post.

Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?

If he doesn’t get hired it’s because he had connection issues when submitting the app.

Joke was good/okay, but still went into the upper deck. Home run.

If the MLBPA folds and gives in to the owners, then I think to make things realistic we should all get trout at an 80% discount.

That's the dumbest thing you could say. A more reasonable thing would be to increase odds on headliners. But to give away content people had to grind for will [censored] more off then please.

Do you hear that sound? That whizzing sound right over your head.

That was the joke.

did I miss your other threads wanting prayers to the thousands of other people diagnosed with cancer every day?

As someone currently battling cancer who recently went through months of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, I hereby give permission for anyone on this forum to pray for Trey Mancini.

Thinking of one person people actually know doesn't mean you're wishing harm on anyone else with the same disease. This is a baseball forum and he is a baseball player. Don't be a tool.

This is a direct quote from the Playstation Twitter account.

"While we understand gamers worldwide are excited to see PS5 games, we do not feel that right now is the time for celebration and for now, we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard."

It's not that the Twitter guy is looting, so he is too busy to tweet. This was a clear directive from higher up to allow the focus of attention on a serious issue. The only negative is that many companies or people in power are jumping on the bandwagon for selfish reasons in order to improve their own image.

I may be a white guy who has cop family members, but I'm not blind. Police brutality is real. People of color are discriminated against. It doesn't take much effort to find dozens of videos of white police officers beating the hell out of peaceful protestors and journalists. Police officers are not above the law and need to be held accountable for their actions. They shouldn't get off with a slap on the wrist and a paid vacation for blatant abuse of power. Change needs to happen. Enough is enough.

I honestly can't believe anyone would have the audacity to whine about a lack of information about a video game because a company is attempting to show solidarity with a downtrodden group of people. It's [censored] embarrassing, and you should all be better than that.

@Halfberry said in BR and voice:

BR is the only pure online mode. Enable chat already, or is everyone a snow flake?

In two sentences you demonstrated the exact reason why SDS will never enable voice chat in this game. You're already insulting people you've never met in an attempt to bully others into getting your way. You should start a Twitter account and run for office.

This isn't a team based game where you need to strategize with other players. It's one on one. If you want to [censored] talk to your opponent, use messages. If they're smart, your opponent will have them turned off so they don't have to deal with the stupidity.

And honestly, do you really need to [censored] talk in a game where a large percentage of the outcome is decided by a roll of the virtual dice? It's bad enough people have to play through games with bunt dancing, R2 holding, fly ball circling douche bags. No one needs to also hear their prepubescent crackling voice hurling insults while their mother yells at them to take out the trash.

Every couple weeks we get a thread about him...
Do people not know how he died and how by his actions he killed 2 of his friends in the process? This is equivalent to drinking and driving and killing 2 people, only it was coke.
He will never be in this game. End of story

Did anyone ever teach you it’s bad karma to speak ill of the dead?

So by your logic, Hitler was a standup guy because it would be rude / bad karma to say otherwise? Obviously that's an extreme example and Fernandez was nowhere near that level of scumbaggery, but it shows your view is flawed. What you do in life affects how people view you after death. Evidence shows Fernandez was coked up and drunk while driving his boat over 60+ mph and he got people killed. The guy was no saint, and he shouldn't be viewed as one.

That's not even speaking ill of the guy. Those are facts. He was a solid pitcher, but he does not belong in the game and SDS should not go out of their way to acquire his rights just so kids can play with one more OP card in a video game.

You must not be invited to parties.

Meh.

People who use Twitter for sports and game related information aren't bothering to follow anything protest or political wise.

Most of them are not going to simply start scrolling through the trending page and looking at protest stuff because there's no updates from Sony.

I can see it though for people who are politically minded and also may be participating in the protest.

Did you seriously just claim that people who follow sports and video games don't care about the protests? I hope none of them follow Tim Anderson or Lucas Giolito. They might see something posted that they don't care about.

Maybe you don't care, but that is a ridiculous generalization.

It's funny. I never thought that supporting people who are being beaten and murdered in public would be a "hot take". I guess protesting or supporting those protesting is fine as long as it doesn't interfere with info on the latest diamond dynasty cards. Gotta know what new shiny card you're going to be lining out with ASAP.

Meh.

Lol take your white guilt somewhere else. If they want to cut back in a time for "more important voices to be heard" then they should start with their stub sales and flash packs. Wait, that's about money though. Got it, loud and clear!

Empathy does not equal white guilt. You have problems. Get help.

@PennStateFencer said in Question about turning off messages:

I could be wrong, but I don't think you can message them. You would need to send a friend request first.

Even if they have messages from all turned on?

What I'm trying to find out is if I play someone abd we have a decent game; id like to msg them good game abd see if they would want to play again.

I have my messages set to friends only and I think I’ve had issues messaging other people. Maybe it was just a coincidence and they also had it set to friends only.

To get around that, I’ve sent opponents a friend request after the game if it was a good one to see if they wanted to play a friendly.

I could be wrong, but I don't think you can message them. You would need to send a friend request first.

I downloaded it yesterday and played through the first chapter of the campaign. I got stuck trying to get the Balance Point trophy in chapter 2 and decided to stop playing for a while. I'll definitely give the online a shot within the next week or so. The first reboot on PS4 was okay, but it wasn't quite the experience I was hoping for after enjoying the PS2 games. I was hoping for more of a Warhawk PS3 type of experience where you could transition between ground and air vehicles as opposed to game modes for one or the other.

If anyone wants to play it online, you can add me. Maybe we can get a group of The Show players together for some games.

I played a guy like that once last year. Luckily he got tired of watching me hit inside the park home runs and eventually quit.
