I don't like Polo Grounds
-
Never played an event before.
Played 2 games. Both against WS players.
Won the first 2-0. The other player started spamming R2 so I just kept stepping off. Is it that toxic that high up?
Second game another WS player and 12-0 player. Lost 2-0.
Am I going to keep facing players who are over 800/900 in ranked?
Doesn’t seem fun to me, that.

I mean that’s a pretty small sample size. You’ll play a wide range of players. Also, typically the people who spam R2 and bunt dance can’t hit to save their lives so they do that desperate stuff to try and get you frustrated/make a mistake. I’d say the a very small percentage of the higher rank players would be doing that stuff.
I grinded out 12 wins last night and had plenty of average to below average players I faced as well as a few legit players.

Thanks. I may give it another go later then. Thing is I’m not really a fan of 3 inning games but am a fan of rewards!

It’s a perfect way to give bad players a crutch. Can’t catch up to a fastball? Home run! Swing 5 minutes early on off speed? Home run! Meanwhile, I’m hitting 480’ outs on perfect/perfects.

What does bunt dancing actually do? I am mostly a offline mode guy, and don't use pinpoint. Had a few people do it in some of my online games and did not see what advantage they were gaining.

I use pulse and it blocks my view if I’m aiming high and in.

There is no advantage. They're just idiots who think they can get in the head of their opponent and screw up the timing of the release on the pitch. More often than not they can't hit for [censored] because they're so focused on trying to mess up their opponent.

Its just adding movement to the screen in hopes to distract you from your meter/pinpoint input, etc hoping you botch the pitch. I'm pretty sure the bunt dancer swings and misses or hits a weak out 99% of the time after bunt dancing (because they just suck in general).

Just had a ball hit to deep right center, ball bounced, landed on the bullpen roof, and roll around until Kelbert Ruiz was rounding 3rd base for an in the park HR. Gotta love the fact it wasn't the typical ground rule double, but was absolutely unplayable for 3+ seconds

I've seen that happen in prior years. Not fun to have happen to you but that feels so rare its entertaining to see imo.
I had a ball that I shot into the gap that hit the bullpen mound weird and died. Turned what was probably an inside the parker to I think a double.

Yeah had one that died on the wall back there myself. Just took a day for Ruiz to run home, was funny. I've had some strange goings lately, like a ball bounce off my left fielder's glove for a HR, bounced a good 6 feet off the glove.

Think my current favorite fake out is the HRs that hit off the facing of the upper deck will show where the ball will land on a ricochet so its like "hey you got a chance!....for a souvenir"

You know what really shows off how unnatural this game is? Hitting a ground rule double to RCF at Polo Grounds
. I'm totally sure someone could hit a ball that far that would then be on a trajectory that could bounce over the wall. Ball physics bro! -

I had that happen to me, threw it in and it bounced off the cut off guy. Sadly it was in inside the parker to make me lose the game

Had a dude hit foul ball homerun. It was quite the sight. Then just figured RNG got me and moved on to the next loss. LOL
I saw a video of the Youtuber Shelfy which his opponent hit a Foul Ball which was called HR and then in the bottom said it was a inside the park one. And he lost the game since it happened in the 3rd inning

Had Dibble in the game and my opponent was in swing mode, ended up bouncing a fastball that he hit out. Didn't know whether to be mad or impressed.

Has anyone hit it out of CF yet? I came close just now with Posada and came close a few times last year but never got it the 470+ so curious if anyone has.

Some alien took me deep to center with Giambi a few years ago, best hitter I ever faced, absolutely demolished anything and everything in the strike zone
