It’s not about reaction times or hitting DeGrom. I was early on outliers plenty.
The point of the post, since someone questioned it, is, that it’s December way at the end of the cycle. Why not try using some other pitchers?
After all, on All Star, you can get people out with a variety of pitchers. Hell, I run all sorts of lineups out there. Sure, I lost to P5 DeGrom with a grind squad of postseason players. I had my chances but couldn’t cash in.
I get that people want to win, but I don’t think you are really doing yourselves any favours this way.
If I had a P5 I'd wanna use him.
Its weird but when I get my guys to P5 I stop using them lol. And start working on some more. Its like something I have to do to complete the game or something. Only P5 I keep using is Vlad Guerrero. Because there isnt anyone that can replace him.
A bit on a tangent, but y’all ever seen a P5 reliever? I don’t think I’ve seen a single one.
I've got Goose to P5, Dibble is almost there.

For guys like me, in my 40's, outlier is a killer. Reaction time isn't there anymore. So if I can't hit DG or any of the outlier players, that's why. Not because I don't know what's coming.
Reaction time being relative to age is a real thing, and it sucks.
Try being 60 and doing it...
This rule doesn't apply to @TEXAS10PT_PSN though...he says he's old but he sure doesn't play like it
LMAO....I have turned on DeGrom a few times. I'll be 67 in three months and I'm in my Prime hahahahaha
67 and playing online video games? That's pretty cool! If I live to be that age I hope I can be like that.

I have both Eckersley and Rivera at P5. Pitchers are the easiest to get because both their pitching and batting count.
How many times do you bat with a RP???

@halfbutt_psn said in To all you guys using P5 DeGrom in AS:
My DeGrom is not even P1 and I took him out of the rotation.
I guess, sure, it’s a valid way to play, but I just think it is a bit weak at this point of the year. I mean, everyone likes to win, but we were in the 600’s so it’s not like it was his WS game or anything.
That’s just me.
I'm lost and trying to understand the point of this thread. You're upset because someone is using DeGrom? Upset because someone is using a card released earlier in the year? Upset because someone was using a P5 player?
Edit: DeGrom not Detroit like AC put!

@halfbutt_psn said in To all you guys using P5 DeGrom in AS:
Guess what, you’re not that good.
If you need to pitch P5 DeGrom for 8 2/3 and then bring in Mariano Rivera for the last out, you’re kinda missing the point imo.Sure, winning is fun, but don’t kid yourself.
Uhh, thats baseball. The nerve of that guy to use Degrom, and Mario to close it out.

The point of this thread is the point of every thread on this forum: discussion about this video game. That’s why this is called a discussion forum.
I’m not “upset” about anything. I made a comment about using P5 DeGrom in a meaningless ranked game in December. Some other people expressed differing opinions.
There is no “right” or “wrong” or “winning” in discussion forums. Sometimes this seems to get lost on some of you.
Anyway, seasons greetings to everyone.

Very well. I got Trout and that's the only reason I played RS this season.

I’m also sick of seeing deGrom but I don’t [censored] about it, I just quit. One night I started 10 games and ran into deGrom 7 out of 10. I just quit. Don’t even ask for a friendly. At this point who cares??

Hopefully twice minimum if I pitch them 3 innings so they get the save (additional PXP for saves).

I agree about the point of discussion forums I sincerely was confused at your point but you clarified it a little more although I disagree with it. If you consider ranked games meaningless then I guess all online games are meaningless?
Season greetings back at ya.

Kudos to you, that is dedication! SP are pretty easy to parallel but not RP since I pitch them shorter than 3 innings and rarely bat with them.

I guess I approach ranked games differently than many, Especially at this time of year.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m trying to win, but I generally avoid exploits and tactics I feel are cheap. The only cheap I like is Cheap Trick.
A game in the 5-600’s to me is not so imperative to win that I will change HOW I play but I get that Trout is on the line for some of you.
