Do custom sliders affect your ability to get wildcards?

[jetsfan28]

Or cards in general? I've notice since switching from Pro to Custom-A, I've seemed to be getting less wildcards despite playing similarly well. For example, one game I turned a triple play, robbed two home runs, and hit a walk off homer, among other things, and got no wildcards.

[Cubfan]

you cannot get them with custom sliders.

[jetsfan28]

Damn, that sucks, especially considering how bad the original sliders are

[Cubfan]

I take a break from my franchise and play a few exhibition to get some other cards, the higher the level the better your chances, I play mostly against the T.B Rays to get the wildcards, they are easy to beat, got 6 in one game once.

[jetsfan28]

Yeah, that would probably work. Just annoying when I have to play with the regular sliders, meaning they won't steal and the only way to get the Brian Schneider card if I want the chance to get wildcards as well (throw out a runner attempting to steal) is to make them miss on a suicide squeeze or get them at the plate after a wild pitch.

This whole situation with not being able to get wild cards with custom sliders is just stupid. Its a huge oversite from 2k considering that the game clearly plays better with the sliders tweaked. Why should we be punished for wanting to play a sim game with whats suppose to be a sim title. Please 2k , fix this, people want you to, that is clear. All you have to do is make it so only people playing with sliders Custom-P and above can earn wild cards (much like the achievments work on the 360)

[akathatoneguy]

Agreed. If you can get regular cards and achievements with custom sliders, you should be able to get wild cards as well.

Cubsfan, I thought I had said this several times before but maybe you missed it. You most certainly CAN get wildcards with custom sliders, it's just nowhere near as likely.

I must have missed it :o after reading so many threads, things tend to get a little scrambled. sorry :eek:

This is something that should be changed in the future. While I understand the rationale, we either need better standard sliders or it should be the same chance.

[oberkfel]

Any idea what "nowhere near as likely means?" I've been playing with custom sliders since day 1 - I've played about 35 games, with probably 1/2 at pro, 1/2 at all-star. Grand total of 0 wild cards. I care more about good game play than wild cards so I'll stick with my custom sliders, though it seems silly that I would have to choose one or the other.

[Venture68]

The chance for wild cards with custom sliders should be roughly equal to the same unchanged difficulty level. So Custom-P should be about the same as regular Pro level, imo.

I get way more wild cards playing on rookie level than on Pro (no slider changes). I'm not sure what causes this but I bet there's a bug someplace. I have no proof, just a hunch.

[soldaderyan]

well , i dont care about the cards but, yesterday i got a card with custom sliders
a giambi card

[HERDbaseball]

Well why is it "nowhere near as likely". I believe it should be the same, maybe the next patch should fix this. Its not a huge deal. Its just those who really like the cards, such as I, would really like this to take place.

[UTDevilDog]

I'm of the opinion that if you are going to include the unlockables as cards (which I personally love by the way) then you should be given the maximum opportunity to earn wildcards. Custom-P sliders should allow the same amount as Pro sliders. You'd see a lot more trading going on if that were the case because more people would have cards to actually trade.
