Easy Platinum this year?

[legacyme3]

Is it just me, or was this year's MLB the Show platinum easier than it usually is?

It's not a complaint, I don't mind, and I'm not much of a trophy hunter, most of these I got without even having to go out of my way this year (the only trophies I had to were the 15k trophy, since I only play with Quick Counts, and the pitcher home run trophy, since I always play with the DH rule on).

I got the MLB 12 platinum, and I had about 86% of MLB 13's (I didn't get MLB 14 until a little before MLB 15, as I didn't have a PS4 until November, and didn't feel the need to buy 14 on PS3), but this year's felt way easier in comparison to those.

Anyone else find it easier this year?

No, i think the previous games where just as easy if not easier but this list is a lot more fun as i don't think i will need to boost/cheat like i did to get the player specific trophies in the past.

But on the other hand i am not getting any chance's to rob a fly ball from the crowd and i have only ever robbed one HR in MLB TS before so it may take awhile.

Yeah its a pretty easy platinum.

Only ones I can see being difficult are hitting a HR with a pitcher, and robbing a homerun.

This one seems medium difficulty, it's perfect not just anyone can get it but us hardcore players will, still have to put your time in though it doesn't come that easy.
Most platinums in games are just absurd this one's just right.

I hit a homerun with ja happ of all pitchers in an offline diamond dynasty game. I was just trying to make contact and then it went over the fence so I think I got pretty lucky

I've had exactly zero chances to catch a foul ball out of play and the one homerun I robbed was online DD.

Hope I get some opportunities soon

I am glad they finally took out the player trophies, I hated those.

I probably won't get the platinum. I have however gotten more trophies already than I have in the past. Earning a diamond card may be tough. They are supposed to be pretty rare. The wording I believe says it must be earned as a reward so buying one probably won't count. Not sure if getting one in a pack will.

You can't buy a diamond card to get the trophy. My friend tried it and it didn't work.

I got a diamond sponsorship myself as a REALLY lucky grab after a random game in Franchise. It's the only diamond card I've pulled.

I got the pitcher homer early on, guess I got lucky on that one. Can't ever see myself robbing one though.

Turn on Auto fielding. Apparently they count. I got the Sorry Kid trophy on auto fielding although I can't believe that was intended. Have not robbed HR yet though.

Re: Easy Platinum this year?

What's funny is that I've gave up two home runs to pitchers within the first week of my franchise. I've hit a couple with pitchers in the past, so it's not going to be impossible.

One was to Travis Wood, I think, and the other was to Jason Marquis.

Re: Easy Platinum this year?

i noticed i got the sorry kid trophy a few days ago. i cant even remember the play to be honest.

oh wait i remember now, i got it from having my guy over by the dugout and catching the ball before it landed in the dugout.

Legends Never Die – In Diamond Dynasty, play in a game with or against a Legend player. This will be pure luck if I get one in a pack or it will be expensive.
