Can old people make World Series?

I'm 69 and have been playing the show since 2014. Played on line for a long time and did very well but had my limits. For the last 4 years I've played with the Giants on franchise at legend level. I play in concert with the regular season. I keep my roster up to date and lead the league in hitting at .307. I'm 3rd in home runs and in the upper third of the league in most offensive and pitching categories. My record is 51-11 on June 4th. I play all 162 games and playoffs (it's nice to be retired) I also play with the A's although don't play every game. I play because I enjoy game play. I have no interest in being a masterful general manager. Whatever transactions take place in real life, I apply them to my franchise. I will create any player who's not in the game so there is no one with a more thorough roster. I have studied multiple videos on hitting , pitching and overall game play. Obviously, my reactions are not what they were, so I have to have total understanding of the game and complete focus when I pitch and hit. Because I deal with transactions everyday, I know every player in the league and many minor league players. I have a blast with this game but it can be very frustrating at times. I stopped playing on line because of the cesspool of people sending disparaging texts and the habitual quitting when I'd get ahead. It was no longer worth it. I love to talk about the game and different techniques that are used.

I somehow ruined this weekend by sneaking into the 600's (602). I don't think I have ever been that far up in the ranked and I know I don't belong. 64 years old with no reflexes. Going to be a long weekend trying to get some packs, lol

I'm 47 but I lose because of weed and Heineken.

@soulshred99_PSN I’m 48…My skills have definitely worsened over the years. Used to make WS every season, But haven’t made it this or last year. The outlier fastball on HOF, I simply can’t catch up to the high ones anymore. I still hit 775 ish in RS but always lose that next game. It’s frustrating but Father Time is undefeated.

@theBlindRhino_NSW Oddly enough I’m actually a better player high lol…It’s the only time I play patient
-
45 years old -- top out around 500-600
-
Its not all about reaction time , i played vs a real 99 mlb player and i destroyed him , his reaction time irl is probably better than mine . Its also about strategy.

Jim Abbott. Not really as much of a brag now, is it?

I turned 40 about two months ago. Been playing MLB since 2021. Made it to 700 a couple times and immediately lost on HOF each time. But, last night, I won 3 games in a row starting at 730 and made my first ever WS!!!!! I almost don’t wanna play anymore. Go out on top!

@theBlindRhino_NSW lol , funny but no , i think his last name was Harrison if i remember correctly, a pitcher in the giants organization. It was last year .

I've played a ton of Real 99's. I think it is because I live in Tempe AZ and a lot of spring training sites are nearby. Most notable players I have faced is the catcher for the Indians (Naylor) and Dalton Rushing of the Dodgers.

That's where I cap out right now actually at 38. Kinda sucks, but considering I never really got into h2h until last year? I'm happy with it
-
I'm almost 50 and i'll never come close to WS and it has nothing to do with my age. I just stink
-
@jeffstified_XBL 57 here.. I've just stuck to offline mode
-
51, and I don’t think I’ll make it… just switched over to Zone toward the end of last year, so still learning (at diminished capacity), but manage to stick around the high 600s for the most part.
Cracked 700 a couple of times, but I’ve only managed to win a couple at HOF level. I think it would take a lot of luck for me…

[censored]. I had no idea so many old timers played.
-
I am 42. And so far I’ve gotten better and better each year. I am hitting over .330 on HoF this year. I top out on legend though.
-
I’m 47 made it once last year and 2 times this year. It’s all in who you get to play. When I’m throwing Clemons or JD my chance of opponents quitting is around 70% lol
