Are Juiced Packs for Good Now?

Need to know if spending 900k on ripping packs is a fun idea or not. I've been doing it over the course of a few days lately, buy packs, sell, flip a bit. And now I just want to have fun ripping as many packs as possible to see if I come out on top.

Is online broken? I set my difficulty to "rookie" but it changes it when I find a game.

I've been playing this game for a few months. I like playing online w/ quick counts and hitting/pitching difficulty on rookie.

This is how it used to look for me when I would play batter.

Now it looks like:

Pitching and outfield/infield used to be a lot more simple/casual too. But now it has sliders like this:

I check the settings when I'm in a game online and it says "rookie" but it's not playing in rookie. What happened?

Marcelo Mayer not on roster?

Went to start a franchise with the Red Sox and noticed Marcelo Mayer is not on the roster?? Strange because I played a franchise this past July with the White Sox and traded for him. Has he been removed from the game??

Thank you for not quitting.

Can we all give some respect to ones who get no-hit, or a perfect game thrown against them that don’t quit the match? Especially when most players quit in the first 5 innings when they’re losing, it’s always refreshing to see good sportsmanship 🫡.

Todd Helton seriously underrated

I have yet to see another player use this card, it’s seriously underrated. Anyone else use Helton regularly? Curious if you all think he’s as underrated as I do or if there are other legends that deserve more love. Let’s hear it

We gotta talk about this.. I'm sure there's already been a discussion either way..

I know it's not just me, the new Vlad Jr card is so broken lol literally I've hit nothing but perfect/perfect with him rather it be a HR, base hit, whatever. I have yet to hit a foul ball with him maybe SDS gave us his 91 core card to troll us all year or maybe they planned this idk, cuz he really hadn't a good card this year imo. This finest Vlad Jr. slaps tho anybody else having a great time using him??

Am I Tripping Or Is the Game Dead

It just seems like there's no one playing which I found surprised as hell cause all the cards are eligible. I mean I'm struggling to find games in any Diamond Dysnasty game mode 😭

The Show 16 Starting Pitcher

I'm a 72 OVR pitcher, and want to know what it takes for me to get a place in the batting roster. all my batting stats CON L, CON R, POW R, and POW L are all at level 31... Do i just have to get them to a certain level or am I just never going to bat?

I've finally finished my All Time Greats roster, with accurate ratings and lineups/rotations ready to play.

Hi guys! Don't know if this belongs here but I figured I'd post in case anyone's interested. I've spent the past couple months making the best possible roster of all notable MLB legends with no duplicates, every team is set-up and ready to play. This roster is perfect for fantasy drafting too, albeit the players' ages are always a problem there. I also changed the Legend teams into homes for players from the NEL, 19th century and NPB.

The roster is called "ATG24" by TheMightyKow. Feel free to check it out and let me know if you have any corrections or criticisms!

Please let me use players that used to play for other teams on my theme team.

Sincerely, a Pirates fan.

My pitching rotation is James McMillan and Paul Skenes. I have Chapman but he is in a reds jersey.

Do CPU teams on MLB 07 on PSP make trades with multiple assets or just straight up trades?

I have been simulating a season and Looking at the transactions during the season and saw that teams just trade straight up except for me, so is it just me, or do CPU vs CPU teams only make straight up trades, I’m worried it breaks the immersion.

Ways to make players like Ozzie Smith, Tony Gwynn and Wade Boggs more valuable….

How would you guys feel is they changed the attributes to max out at 250 instead of 125? Max hitting, power and defense should be ultra rare. I just wish Ozzie Smith was better than everyone else at SS and I hate that any player can have max out hitting. Guys like James McCann should be used over Hall of Fame players. Am I alone in this?

Speed of outfielders

I wish the speed of outfielders could be more realistic, no matter what difficulty you have the game set to!!! There's nothing worse than hitting a bullet into a gap, miles away from any outfielders only for someone to turn into Speedy Gonzalez and handle it like a routine fly!!! Or if they have no chance at a routine catch, they turn into Superman and make a miraculous dive!!!!!!! And the only time the outfielder's speed is somewhat realistic is when you're the one controlling the fielder!!! And even then, it sometimes makes you slower than you should be IRL!!!!!!!!!!
