Does the 99 Shohei Ohtani even work how it should?
-
As in, can we use him in the field and as a pitcher? Or is it still kind of gimped where we can only use him like we would a position player being subbed in as a pitcher?
-
Basically the only way to get him in the outfield is being up by 6 or down by 6 runs, which is when the game lets you put pitchers anywhere on the field. (Or by having one of your batters pitch 3 batters)
-
Nah he’s a pitcher and not in the field. Which is sad because he might be the best hitter in the game.
-
Conquest and play vs CPU you can sub him in as an outfielder
-
yes but more important is Jake Cronenworth has RP as a secondary. Would love to move him to a RP position in the bullpen and use him as a PH.
-
Walsh too.

That's so disappointing. I mean, it's still a great card but in my personal opinion, the card loses a lot of its luster with these restrictions in place.
If we could use him as a super-sub and as a starting or relief pitcher, the card would easily be amongst the most valuable in the game -- if not be the most valuable. As it is, he's only as valuable as his arm takes you really. SDS needs to find a way to fix this in the future.
I'm still excited to try him out once I get him unlocked (I'm at 16/30 for TA3 and have bought the other cards I'm going to need except for Lynn, Realmuto, and one other one).

Kinda wondering, he can definitely be subbed into the OF in offline play. I haven’t played any online since he’s been released. Is this not an option in online?

It sadly is not unless you are up or down by 6 runs. I have no idea why 6 runs triggers this, but it does
-
Someone said Walsh and Cronenworth's RP are the same. Only used as pitchers when a game is out of hand.
-
can you at least pinch hit with him on his days off?
-
Has anyone tried ranked seasons? In event game I can’t sub him In outfield but against computer I can

Not in the event that I can find
-
I actually don't hit will with the 99 Ohtani. I hit ok with the other cards. Seems like the power is nerfed at least for me?

I feel like I’m the only one that doesn’t care Ohtani can’t play the field lol if he could i probably still wouldn’t use him tbh

I don’t think it’s as much about him being able to play the field as it is the benefit of having a pinch hitter/substitute that doesn’t take up one of your bench spots. So you could open up a bench spot for a situational sub such as a pinch runner or something and still have an extra power bat.

That i agree with. I always like to have a 99 speed guy on the bench but sometimes I’d rather that spot be takin up by another big bat so i agree it would be nice to have that extra player

Yea man I’ve always wanted to have Henderson on my bench but I can never actually do it cause I’d rather have certain situational platooners where maybe one of them has decent speed instead but definitely isn’t no Rickey. Lol

I feel you. For a while i had Finley and Mantle as my speed/bench bat guys. Would be nice to have Rickey or Lofton there

That’s funny because I still start Finley today because he just RAKES for me. Yea it sucks that the PCI is smaller for him but I feel like it’s getting me prepared for the harder difficulties. And he’s batting like .460.
