Just faced a clown that used both knuckleballers. Thankfully I ended up beating him 7-0 and made him quit in the 7th inning, but SDS needs to do something about these glitches that shouldn't be in the game. Especially Stephen Wright, he got suspended for domestic violence and it's a bad look to still have him in the game.
What glitch? You pounded him for 7 runs lmao
It's like half of you have no clue what a freaking knuckleball is or looks like, that players make careers out of it, some all star or hall of fame, or that Stephen Wright made a career for himself with it including an all-star appearance.
The fact is many don't hit the knuckle because their timing sucks with it, and most others can't put the PCI on it. You barrel that thing up it flies, like you did! LOL
Yeah maybe saying they should be removed from the game is a bit strong, but they should be at least nerfed a bit so they aren't so easily exploited.

There is no exploit.
Your PCI is the size of a watermelon vs Wright.
People suck with their timing and suck with PCI placement because of the movement. That's not exploit. That's bad hitting.
Time your swing and put the PCI on it and you pound the ball.
Be patient don't swing at the first pitch every time like everyone does vs them.
You also get free SBs all game.
You scored 7 runs in 7 innings, no idea what exploit you speak of or what you are crying about.
-
Or if you have trouble with zone and pci placement, you could try directional. Whenever a knucklballer comes in the game I just switch to that for 3 batters. Just aim up and hit x

I actually wish they would bring back Tiant and Niekro. And no I don’t use a knuckleballer this year. I did at first, but decided against. Just because I hate hearing people [censored] about it.
I’d rock Tiant for sure though.
I would love to see a Tiant. One of my favorite players from that era, but there’s no shot he’s released considering we didn’t see him or Niekro at all last year either

For DV, here's a list of people who also would no longer be in the game...
- Aroldis Chapman (a lot of people like using his card!)
- Jose Reyes
- Hector Olivera
- Jeurys Familia
- Derek Norris
- Roberto Osuna
- Addison Russell
- Odubel Herrera
- Julio Urias
- Domingo German
Number 11. Houston Astros beating trash cans at home.

Crazy how 8 out of those 10 are Hispanic.

Wright is easy to crush. However, I think Feirabend is pretty tough to hit. The lefty's KB dances more than Neikro's ever did. Seems that way to me anyway.

Yeah but your PCI is the same as the strikezone. SO just hold it there and crush it. I think i can still throw a better KB then Feirabend actually. IF my nails are ok that day. When you get old nails become a day to day project.

Same dude. They could just make them BR rewards so they are hard to get and on the market they’d be [censored] near a million stubs. Id be okay with that. Just feels cheesy that they aren’t in the game because they’re knuckleballers. They played a role in the history of baseball and deserve to be in the game.

We would be missing a lot of top tier players if that was the case.
That's all you took out of my post? These knuckleballers either need to be removed from the game entirely, or be completely revamped so they're not as effective.
No we've just seen posts about knuckleballers 700 times

My old man could throw a mean knuckleball. He'd humble me with it in BP... On a windy day, forget it! Thing would be dancing all over... Also, with no rotational movement it makes it more difficult to pick up the speed for timing as your mind uses rotation movement of the seams for you to judge the speed of a pitch.

I only just started playing ranked seasons in The Show 19 a couple of weeks ago and last week somebody put Feirabend in as a reliever and caught me completely off guard as I haven’t faced a knuckler in the game in years and I’ve not seen a ball move like that for a long long time.
Took me about three pitches and then I was smashing him all over the park. Got three hits and two earned runs off him. Felt darn good.
Shortly after that game I lost eight in a row
Karma I guess. -

Karma I guess.Why were you the one hit with bad karma? He's the one using a 49 OVR to try and abuse an exploit.

Honestly I think knuckleballers are fine in all star. It’s too hard to pitch at times below 700. At least they can help with that here and there.

What about a cy young R.A Dickey card that would be awesome !
