This Event is Brutal
-
I have played 24 games , winning 80%, and had 2 go extra innings.... and I have yet to strike out more than once an inning in nearly all of them. And I am not good.....I think people are mentally beating themselves.
-
Well, I’m not winning all of my games but I am really enjoying pitching, hitting wise I’m using it to make my pci placement better
-
Are people using Contact Swing or Normal? I’ve been generally using Normal until 2 strikes and then Contact but then I’ve hit several Contact HRs so wondering if so should just go Contact exclusively. Thoughts?

I've never used anything but normal swing in my entire MLB the show career. Using contact or power swing honestly just feels uncomfortable to me

I think it depends on the hitter, and the park. I’ve definitely had contact swing home runs with Trout and Griffey, but I’ve also had perfects caught at the track or before as well.
I think you’re better off using X when being aggressive, and O when trying to get a run in at all costs with Jimmy Rollins or something.

I’m with the crowd that calls this no fun. At 17 wins but very few games have been even close to fun. Will get my 25 this weekend and then find something else to do I think.
Me too. I'm up to 15, want to get to 25 and QUIT.

Are you talking about online only? Surely you must use power swing in those Veteran level showdowns or conquest games?
-
The pitching PCI passes me put the ball up and in with "good" and it goes right down the middle. Down and away end up way outside or down and in
-
I just use it to drank and get closer to prestiging pitchers. Only put the ball in play 6 times in a 17-inning game. After the 4th inning I was just swinging for the fence as I grabbed another cold one.. HAHA

Yeah online only. There is no need to power swing unless it's for Veteran or Rookie IMO

So I haven't been doing as bad as I thought... until today. Won 5 games out of 3 then I don't know what happened... timing is way off on off speed. Way behind on every fastball. Can't even buy a win in my last 16 games
-
Won 2 games today to get to 19. 2-0 today but I took me 30 stupid innings. First game went 18 and next went 12. Both 1-0 affairs. This is so beyond idiotic.....
-
I just had one go 12 only to lose after an unforced error bad animation on a ground ball to first.
It happens. Hopefully you got some prestige stats.
Sometimes I think certain pitcher attributes have an effect on timing windows. That or being at an away stadium or a bad connection.
-
I'm way in front of 94mph cutter but way behind on a 95mph fastball.

Yup. Every game goes to extras and ends 1-0 on a lucky homerun..have all guys with vision over 100 and trying to use a pci the size of a dime is a little challenging..god help you if you face a outlier fastball
I can't catch up with a 95mph fastball but way in front of a 94mph cutter. Makes perfect sense to me
-
Just had a p/p fly ball with Babe Ruth off finest Beiber on a low cutter.....
“A ball that’s carrying...” for an out at the center field wall
Immediately turned the game off. Knew I shouldn’t have come back. Online gameplay is still a joke
-
Nothing worse then a maybe homerun and you hear Vasgersian say “a ball that’s carrying”. Just kills the hopes

I decided to try my hand in the event, although with a very average team due to not having played mlb since august. I needed a boat load of stubs so that I can finally obtain trout and surprisingly I got to 25+ wins rather easily and in less than 12 hours.
Sold bregman for a cool million and bought all the necessary cards for trout, yay lol. Very fun event!

You are leaving out the part that have averaged about 1800 games a year in previous iterations ) winning the huge majority). You aren’t some schlep stumbling into the legend event without skills.

It’s not even really legend, it’s more like HOF+
