high Diamond SP for free
-
Ya know, I forgot where I posted it (it was either here or The Show's Reddit) but before release, I suggested that they not give out high diamond pitchers like Clayton Kershaw (TS19) , Nolan Ryan (TS19), Corey Kluber, and Hal Newhouser in the XP Path for a number of reasons:
1.) It will naturally bring out more variety in terms of pitchers users will face online
2.) If there is no easy-to-access "elite" SPs, you're more likely to increase runs scored per game which will usually result in users having much more fun by increasing the viability of all of The Show player's offensive capabilities.
3.) It encourages experimentation until a user can fill out a rotation the user is comfortable with that isn't dictated just by taking the highest overall pitcher in a funneled XP Path.
Lets face it, the smartest option is 99% of the time going to be to take the best pitcher available since you have to fill out five SPs and seven relievers and a 95+ overall pitcher is almost always going to outlast a position player in terms of how much time they spend in on your squad. With that in mind, I don't think they should put those high diamond pitchers in the XP Path. Yeah, I'm sure it would create it's own set of problems but it ultimately achieves what I think they were trying to do last year: creating a huge amount of diversity in each player's lineups.
