Any oldtimers still here?

I've been playing DD since 18, posted a fair amount back then but now I mainly just lurk. I remember some of the crazy people, the guy who complained that every opponent and everyone who posted were "center swingers".
JJdaggas or something like that was his name. I played him a few years ago and he messaged me recorded voice messages over and over again calling me a center swinger amongst other things. He is the reason I switched to no longer accepting messages. It was pretty funny though I guess.

@dr_zoidberg25_MLBTS That was his name! I was trying to think of it, thanks for posting. Don't blame you for switching messages off, he posted some really off the wall stuff. I don't think I'll ever understand his whole center swinging obsession, lol.

I'm 47, I'm an OG of the community and my skill has really fell off. Can still make CS but that's about it with the new strikezone, and facing pinpoint players i'm out in 2 or 3 pitches every AB -_-

@texas10pt_mlbts , nice to see you again.
Similar to all of you, I played for a long time but fell off when they started treating the PS4 version like a step child and I had not upgraded to a PS5.
It gave me the opportunity to go back to all the single player games that I had neglected when all I did was play the Show.
I remember all the bunt cheese arguments, the lack of cards back when flashback cards were almost nonexistent, so everyone had the same lineup argument and that internet guy. I can always him claiming he had the best interest because he had Google fiber in his neighborhood and every year, he would do it to the point it was ridiculous.
I’m also an “old timer” in my mid fifties.

I’m 51. Been playing since 2015. Not nearly as good as I used to be. Still enjoy from time to time. I’m a weekends mostly player.

I'm 73 and have been playing since 17. Used to play Strat O Magic years ago and for me this game is like SOM come to life. My son bought me a PS5 then told me about this game. I play on low difficulty and directional hitting. Eyes a reflexes aren't what they used to be but still enjoy baseball.

I'm 45. I love this forum BTW, i'll say this: I've been gaming since i was 5 years old. Between NBA Live 95, Tecmo Bowl, NBA Jam tournament Edition, Every Madden From 92-22', MLB the show has been my favorite sports game the last 10 years. My reaction time kinda of tailed off dramatically this year. I'm a world series player early but i've been hovering around 10 games over .500 in ranked, so my best days are probably behind me. I still love the chess of baseball and the competitive ranked games, it's still my thing.

Good to see y’all. Funny thing I am 71 now and moved from Texas (ugh) to Indiana after I retired last year. In about 3 weeks time I have a lineup of 99’s and all but Altuve are P5 lol. I’ve been playing Co-op with a friend and we only have 2 losses. Yeah y’all remember CardinalBird5 from back in the day. He was the top player online I think until 18 the softball version came out and he quit. I still think 17 was the last great game for online play even if late was great lol.
