this happens every game Shohei pitches, once he's taken out his player model gets replaced in the lineup. the height and weight stays the same so it has some funny changes.

Discussion SDS has 3,400+ Topps Flashback card arts. What could they do with them?

Thumbnail
gallery
25 Upvotes

SDS has a large library of Topps Flashback card art, over 3,400. The cards are from specific years and fall into the All-Star, Breakout, Veteran, Standout, Rookie, Second Half, and Last Ride series. No stats are attached to any of them that I can see. They have had this bank as far back as 2022 to my knowledge.

This could be a bank for future games. Only about 4.5% of this art appears in DD this year, so there’s a lot players haven’t seen yet. Some players are redundant.

Mike Trout is a good example, he has over ten cards in the library, seven of them All-Star. You wouldn’t want to release all ten at once, but what if SDS released 3 or 4 Flashbacks per year, each with different attributes and splits?

If SDS released even 15% to 20% of the library each year, players would get a lot of variety per player, and the Topps art would finally get the spotlight it deserves. It could also make standard packs more interesting again. Imagine bronze, silver, and gold Flashback cards regularly mixed into packs, like a second live series running alongside the main one.

What would you want to see them do with these? I personally would like to see a removal of attributes to 125 and go back to 99, and then add a ton more cards and see these replace cards like award series, summer series, etc. This library has over 900 All-Star cards alone, with only 50 in DD this year!

Question Why does this game show favoritism to lagging players?

0 Upvotes

Like this is gonna sound really dumb but I was playing ranked and for atleast 4 of my games my opponent was lagging pretty badly. but it seemed like on every one of them it ended up favoring their server inputs over mine, like I’d be trying to run to second and it wouldn’t let me, or trying to run home but it took so long for the input to be put in that I got thrown out. or even things like a passed ball looks like it flew way away from the catcher just to rubber band back into his glove so he can throw me out, or me hitting a grounder into right center field and their shortstop diving 40 feet after it was already 20 feet into the grass to make a play. Like all of those things would make me think that I was lagging but 2 of them lagged out and all 4 were doing the thing where their inputs were wrong on pitches so they’d be very early or very late so I’m sure it wasn’t that. so like why is what they see what goes in the game compared to what I see?

Question will we get a 99 mookie betts this year

0 Upvotes

last year they waited until very late in the game cycle to drop the 99 silver slugger mookie. that was the longest we had ever gone in a single game cycle without a 99 mookie. and now this year we have waited even longer. i know he didnt have a great year which limits his chances for cards but still. hes a fan favorite and HOFer.

PSA Waiver wire can build pretty decent team

3 Upvotes

In case people don't know, especially post spring training and trade deadline when a lot of guys are out od options and teams need to make decision... you can build a very solid roster from this. Got several 80+ overall A and B potential guys between 27-30 with several years before free agency through that.

Question Hitting Problems; PS5

I play on PS5 and I’m very low ranked. I play a decent amount of online but I feel like no matter what I can’t see pitches or do better hitting. Are there any tips anyone can give me to improve on my hitting?
