They have to do something with the Captains.
-
@Born2beWild007_PSN They should have scaled the other captains up with the new ones. The jolts should be 96’s just like the newest ones.
-
Well it's pretty stupid that at this point I have 10 Yankees hitters better than Ruth (who is also a terrible fielder and can't run) who is the only hitter captain and I have to play him. At least if I could put him on the bench it would help even if it becomes a wasted bench spot.
As someone just said chemistry would be much better. He was also a good addition at the start of the game but now has no use. And I'm sure most other people are running into this on their teams as well.
-
Yeah, that works. There seems to be various solutions and hopefully they do something and very soon.
-
I use Bobby Grich Angels Captain, i like him , great defense, decent bat . I double up the boost with Ben Joyce .
-
Yes, ALL the captains were good and useful at the start of the game and for quite a long time. But now people are running into the problem of having better players at that position but can't afford to replace him. Or, even put him on the bench since doing that negates the bonus.
-
@Born2beWild007_PSN You can have a pitcher operate as a captain and never use him. They still occupy a valuable spot. It should be the same on the bench for position players. The glitch last year made it so much better. They should have just implemented that change.
-
yeah I mentioned that in my original post...can stick the pitcher in as your 5th starter and never use him and there is no reason you shouldn't be able to put your hitter on the bench although that is a waste of a more valuable spot then the 5th SP.
I have a feeling this isn't an issue for very many except the Yankees fans with loaded teams lol. 85 Ruth as the captain and now about 15th on the hitters depth chart lol. Plus he can't field or run.
-
@Born2beWild007_PSN Ruth was probably the best position player from that series too.
-
I use Luis Gil tier 3 on my end of season all switch hitter team. Gives arm strength and power to Dominguez, Bernie, Mickey, and Posada. And to me he’s the best catcher with 89 arm can throw out 99 speed guys and very rewarding.
-
And now not good enough for a Yankees team. Obviously way too many great Yankees cards being released.
-
@Born2beWild007_PSN Sure, but even with him it’s far and away the best theme team.
-
Yes, not nearly as many diamond Yankees pitchers as hitters. I still use Gill. The Max Fried AS card is also a Yankees pitching captain option now and has slightly different bonuses unless they changed everything? Mine are all now a bonus of 6 in all categories on tier 3. Either they changed it or Fried gives a bigger bonus.
-
Of course it is. I just made a comment to MrNintendo's reply about the pitchers. Max Fried's AS card is also a NY captain. Have they changed it all or is Fried giving a bigger bonus? With him, all the bonus categories on tier 3 are 6. Plus a couple of the bonus attributes are different now.
-
@Born2beWild007_PSN Lots of relievers and good ones compared to most teams.
-
@Born2beWild007_PSN Same boost I believe.
-
Mine are now batting clutch instead of Arm strength and H/9 instead of K/9, the rest the same and everything is a bonus of 6 when all were 5 with Gil. That's with the Fried card you got with the team affinity AS voucher. He's a 95 OVR
-

-
Yeah I tried the Fried captain boost but I like the arm strength and Ks over plate vision and BB. Something cool is that the +6 arm now makes Dominguez and Bernie gold defense if P5 and with Mickey at RF have all gold OF. I bought the new Cam Schlittler card and enjoying with Ks boost.
-
I love Dominguez. Every year there's always at least one guy I hit way better with then his attributes are, at least compared to other's with higher attributes. It's him this year. I also hit incredibly well with Giambi who is my DH but I just got Sheffield....hmmm.
I like Bernie too and used him for awhile until the 98 Mantle came out and that was it for Bernie lol. I would love to put Bellinger in at 1B for Ruth but no way it's worth it to lose those boosts. I just hope they change that and at least allow the option of putting Ruth on the bench and still giving the boost.
I didn't get Schlittler because his control is terrible. He doesn't even have one pitch with even average control, everything is really bad. You are probably better at pitching then I am!!! maybe I'll give him a try
-
Cardinals have 3 hitting captains. Luckily, I guess they gave Brendon Donovan the same exact boosts as Jolt Edmonds. I never used Victor Scott II as a Captain cause his boosts are pretty irrelevant for offline play (speed and fielding)
