    Best thing about Shippet is that the players that play there actually think they are good at hitting lol dude I’ve almost bunted a homer. Yourfriendkyle is the worst and thinks he’s some baseball guru, he literally just plays at shippet because you can a homer there no matter the pci placement.

    Ridiculous take lol.. top hitters are top hitters. YFK or any one of those top players would still clap you at whatever stadium u choose.

    Take away Shippet and most of them don’t even sniff the top 50.

    What the heck? How would win rate go down based on stadium? Both players are playing at the same place. Sure offensive stats are boosted, but top players are top players.

    Clap lol I can honestly say I couldn’t care less if some video game YouTuber beats me in a video game. With that being said they absolutely play at shippet to give off the illusion that they are the best ever. Take away Shippet and most of them don’t even sniff the top 50. Anyone can agree to disagree but that’s my take on it and it won’t change.

    What stadium do u play at? I could change ur opinion. And yes it would be a clap. Also why are we even mentioning top 50? It’s irrelevant 😂

    I play at different stadiums and here’s why. It’s a VIDEO GAME lol no I don’t not need my opinion changed. You should find something more productive to do with your time instead of trying to prove you’re some MLB the show professional which isn’t even a real thing by the way. Using the word clap in the context you are using it is not a real word. If you would like I could send you a link for cheap online classes you could take to freshen up on your English. 🤷‍♂️

    Buddy I don’t need to freshen up on my English at all. Using clap the way I did is internet slang.. we’re not writing essays here.. This is an online videogame forum. It’s not formal, it’s casual. You’re the one making the ridiculous claims such as top players “not sniffing top 50 if they weren’t at shippett”. Awfully hypocritical of you to tell me to find something more productive to do when ur making stupid [censored] claims like that

    Shippet is for scrubs who think baseball is purely about hitting and home runs. There’s a reason all the popular streamers and “top players” only play home games at shippet. It’s to boost their averages and make them look like they’re incredible hitters, when the truth is, a weak pop fly will carry out at shippet. If they all had to play at a reasonable stadium, maybe things would look different and the best players in the game wouldn’t have ERA above 5-6 despite being the greatest players on paper.

    the greatest players "on paper" lol

    You should play rebel at a your stadium and see how it goes for you lol

    Last time we played was a couple years ago. I was the away team and we were at Petco. He won 3-2 in 9. I’m a 600-700 average rating player in RS, I’m not even close to being good, nor do I have any illusions that I am good. The best players “on paper” are the best players. In a game based around statistics, the stats don’t lie. There’s more to baseball than hitting home runs and batting .440, that’s arcade game [censored] to me.
    I prefer a more realistic baseball experience when I do play and Shippet is the opposite of that. It’s a crutch for weak hitters and provides a boost to offensive numbers for already skilled hitters.

    You prefer artificially limiting your opponent I got you

    so is Main Street field considered bad?

    I love playing there - looks great at night on the eyes and hrs are pretty fair. u have to get a good knock at the ball to hit it out. i think it plays fair.

    it would be great if someone had the positives/negatives of all the minor stadiums.

    How so? I call it how I see it. 🤷‍♂️ I don’t have to have some crazy good record to have an opinion. I said what I said. Accept or don’t I really don’t care.

    You’re talking [censored] on top players for choosing shippett but ur stats are terrible. You just don’t understand the competitive scene in mlbts, which makes your takes completely irrelevant.

    Interesting that you think I need your validation to have an opinion. You should really pump the brakes on your entitlement. I can and will comment on whatever I want, if you don’t agree with what I say that’s fine but don’t ever think someone needs your validation to be right or wrong.

    Not saying you need my validation, but I’m much more experienced than most with the top player base, so ik when someone’s just saying [censored] and doesn’t know what they’re talking abt. You’re basically calling out top players for using shippett, so naturally I take offense to that. For one thing, a lot of top players often don’t play at shippett. I can tell you just don’t know the situation when u make claims like “Take away Shippet and most of them don’t even sniff the top 50.” You also made a fairly degrading comment about grammar, so that ofc gets me fired up a bit as well.

    Yeah I am calling out top players for using shippet because there’s obviously an advantage, So tell me expert. Why do the top guys use Shippet? I think it’s because it takes nothing to hit a homerun so it really doesn’t take much knowledge of baseball to play there, it’s basically like playing an arcade game and doesn’t take anything more then decent pci location to hit moonshots. Not much strategy goes into playing at shippet.

    I think it's lame that top players think they need to play at home and shippett to ensure they get 'rewarded for good pci placement'. If you end up in a game where you are playing in a stadium other than shippett than hit singles, hit n run, try to bloop singles if you have to. Baseball isn't all about homeruns.

    Imagine being an MLB pro and refusing to play anywhere other than Coors. It's pathetic how competitive and serious you guys take yourself.

    Is there something unskilled about hitting singles? Pitching and defense are as much a part of baseball and although not as much skill is required in both real life and online DD it's still a skill that should not be factored out because that's what shippett does is takes away defensive baseball as you can't stop a homerun and on top of that pitches hang a lot more at shippett i've noticed as well.

    We get it. Your the best hitters and you want the game to reward hitting but the fact that so many top players refuse to never play away games unless it's a challenge(where they then have a full bullpen) is kind of psychotic. Winning means so much to you that you have to give yourself every advantage you can.

Not much strategy goes into playing at shippet.

    It’s because when ur elite with the pci, it’s very frustrating it to get rewarded consistently on great swings. Is it realistic to lineout all game? In the mlb, the average on hard hit [censored] (95 mph or more) is above .500. So in the game, I want to get rewarded on that consistent of a basis when I hit the ball well. You claim that it takes nothing to hit a hr there, but if we played there on legend you’d get shutout, so that’s yet another ridiculous claim.

    So u wanna talk strategy? I’m curious exactly how other stadiums are more strategic than shippett. At shippett, you’re forced to make smarter pitches or you get punished. At other stadiums you can get bailed out on mediocre pitching by lineouts. Also, if you’re referring to small ball, that’s not viable in mlbts period. Doesn’t matter what stadium ur at. It’s just the way this game is.

    Just for the record, I play road games. I’m not one of those guys to back out on every road game. Most top players don’t do that. I just prefer playing at shippett when I’m the home team. And I think it’s absurd for people to talk [censored] on top players for their stadium choice, but whatever. Top players will be elite at any stadium they play at.

    I never said that top players can’t play outside of Shippet, I said they choose Shippet to boost their offensive numbers because they think it’s sexy to have the whole lineup batting .400+. I find it to be a tad unrealistic myself. It’s pretty ironic, in my opinion, that your take is that I’d like to be “artificially limited” when you’re out here arguing the case for a stadium that “artificially enhances” player[censored]ting.
