I play at Majestic Greens and Green Valley stadium. Do yourself a favor though, no matter where you play remember that everyone appreciates a night game (7 PM in Oct).

Is this a joke? I heard that night games are more laggy.

I've never heard that. I do know that in particular stadiums it is harder for old people like me to see the trajectory of the ball coming out of the pitcher's hand depending upon the field orientation and position of the sun. Forbes Field in the daytime is notorious for this cheese.
I think the lag comes from the amount of people animated in the stands. The less going on in the outfield, the smoother the gameplay...which is why minor league stadiums are preferred.

In a big way I think it's in your head. I struggle from time to time moving from into DS. I play better once I'm in DS and CS, but I still haven't made WS. Mostly because I just never play enough to get there.
Whenever I'm trying to make the next move up or am feeling like I need a big win, I press. I'm overthinking when I should or shouldn't steal, lay down a bunt, or do a hit and run. For me it's these moments of trying to figure out the small ball game from an offensive perspective where I flounder in these "move up" type games. Also, with hitting, if I'm in swing mode, I just set the controller down or take my right hand off of it so I can only move the PCI and not hit the swing button until I have 2 strikes for every batter that inning. This forces me to watch pitches and look for patterns.
From a pitching standpoint, it's just flat out random. Finest Gerrit Cole is the prime example for me. When the game is allowing my input to dictate his pitch location, the guy is DOMINANT! When the game just leaves pitches over the plate, but my input wasn't near that location, he gets shelled. To me, this is almost completely uncontrollable. The biggest thing I've tried to do is pay attention to which pitches seem to be doing it and throw them much less. At the same time, I try and slow my pitching down a bit and change the rhythm and speed of the way I pitch each inning and sometimes each batter. Only other thing I try is intentionally throwing an awful pitch nowhere near the plate if I'm up 0-1 in the count or have a 1-1 count. Usually if I'm throwing it completely out of the zone, even a pitch the game tries to bring in still isn't hittable.
Hopefully these are some helpful ideas or ways to look at some of this stuff.

you have enough to keep you busy until July or August??
You haven't played online and only done a few moments??
haven't completed any conquest maps (they are loaded with packs,stubs and XP)?
I'd say save your money and don't pre-order MLB '20

That's so dumb!

I think they should add some HoF or Best of the Decade Moments, to close out the 11th Inning Program.

16 is overrated

Why were you telling people to play it during mlb18?

I was?

This is a wonderful incentive for pre orders. I am looking forward to playing 20’ as early as possible. I’d end up dropping the $ on the stubs anyways lol

I think opening a game to back-to-back "Very Late/Jammed" doubles for a run hurt my soul than most results.

Merry Christmas

I’ll comment on this. I played 3 ranked games where it was 1-0 which I won. The first myself and my opponent dealt with constant hard outs. My last two game I had at least 40 plus good goods that were hard outs.

I had a bunch of lag scrolling through menus too. It was weird. Don't know why.

I think the "Q" that should be asked is why does it even matter? Really? Games are so very very very rare where you run out of pitchers & need to rely on 1 or 2 position players to actually pitch. Why would need need stat records kept of how they preformed. Will you use every single position player to pitch to see which 1 is better? If you running out of pitchers like that often, then the problem is more with yourself. You changing pitchers within a game too frequently & recklessly. Do not concern yourself with lefty/righty match-up for just 1 batter only. Look at the stats for the next 3-6 batters you will be facing & which has a better match with using a lefty or a righty for the next 3-6 batters. This way you can get 1-2 innings out of that 1 pitcher rather just just for 1 batter only.

im talking about ive played a honest 18 inning game used all my bullpen, in DD you cant use a starter in releif, so my bulllpen has been used up and i have had to use a position player. play me sometime....jake93436psn

Regardless, why should it even matter that pitching stats are not kept for position players who may pitch 1 every 100 games played in MLBTS.

That would never work. Everyone has the right to choose there home stadium. If anything it's easier to play the Minor League ballparks due to them being not as deep & close in dimensions with LF & RF walls. MLB Staduims are more complexed & requires strategy & skill knowing how to go opposite field when needed to. Can any MLB team tell the Red Sox lets play else where because they don.t like Fenway with it's Green Monster? LMAO

It takes more strategy and "skill" to play in a Major League Stadium? Look, I hate the Shippett Stadium spam fest more than anybody, but let's not over exaggerate here.

That could be that your game lagged at that moment via internet & cause that to happen at that very moment or the game it self glitched oddly & randomly like that. That had nothing to do with the other player because there is nothing he can do to cause that. This game is too complex & secure for just anyone to hack like that. And if someone did, then stuff like that would have happen immediately making someone rage quit from it. That's my take on it. Next time it happens, go to the replays & see how it shows there & as well video save it so now you have something to show.

Okay, then.

I agree that what he did as a "Manager" is wrong & being banned from baseball is what he deserved. But that was as a "Manager" & NOT as a "Player". What he achieved as a player was thru honest merits & got more hits lifetime then anyone else which no one yet has been able to break or even come close with the only exception Ichiro coming some what close. That achievements alone should have him in the HOF. The ban should'nt have anything to do with it. Player / Manager are 2 different things & took place at different times. The ban is punishment enough with not being able to "work" in anyway at all within MLB. But keeping him out of the HOF for me is wrong. He did something no other player has been able to do & it's as well punishing the fans of that era such as myself.
