My Thoughts on the Dead Ball Event
-
Well said, it certainly brings back that older style of true baseball. This even will be a good break from the homers and be fun to use some different cards that most players definitely wouldn’t use in a main squad. We got a change of pace event and nothing like going back to deadball lol
-
I like this event. It's different.
-
I like the change of pace but when I hit 2 P/P fly balls to right center with Gwynn and another lefty...it stung lol
-
I would’ve loved this event on AS. Imo it would still be enough of a challenge with the high diamond pitchers and low power hitters.
That’s not to say we’ll see different variations of it in event 2 and 3
-
We will see quick counts, and 6 innings in one of the next 2 variations....sure All Star will surface too
-
ME WANT HOME RUN

I thought these were 6 inning games? Oh nevermind, it’s just scoreless ties going to extras
-
Hard pass on this event. Still love they are changing it up. See you next event.
-
..... bunt .....
-
The only thing I don't like is the day time play. It's difficult to see when there's a righty on the mound. Someone at the top must not have tried it out before sending it through to us.
-
My boom stick has been turned into a legit twig. Lol but well said OP
-
I actually like this one because... I can win. I can grind to a 1-0 win, or a 1-1 tie after 6 innings where my opponent quits. I NEVER QUIT. I'll take a 0-0 game into 15 innings if I have to.

I think I went into 13th and lost 1-0. Won 1st game 1-0.

I think I lost a "Moonshot" event 18-3. I was the home team so I didn't get mercy-ruled, if I remember correctly. So... this is a refreshing change of pace...
-
Hard pass if 6 innings no matter what it is.

I definitely understand that. I would frequently play at Forbes in Ranked when I knew the game was going to be on AS, but I at least had the decency to play in October at 7pm. Haha.

Brutal, especially considering how nerfed pitcher stamina is in the 3-inning format. Did either you or opponent have to use a position player on the mound?

Nope but I had to go to 2 starters. We used a lot of RPs for 2 innings
-
My games were played at night, that was a plus. I also liked the MLB coverage. It was something different and looked pretty cool. Not sure how long this event will keep my attention, but I was expecting much worse.
-
I don’t mind the event itself, I just can’t pick up the ball off the pitcher
