Post-Mortem from a First Year DD'er

Good stuff here. I agree with many of your points but I would have to say I love the amount of 99s and high level cards most about this game. Team building is incredibly fun and diverse so much that I have every card in the game (except Alomar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!$%#&$#^@%##:@"@&#;@;@&#,#:)...and not one P5.
I think BR is a great way to offset the amount of 99s for the reasons you stated.
TA was by far the best program in the game.

- You realize if they limit the 99 cards, that would make teams LESS varied. We tried that already in 2018 and it did not go over well.

I was not there but I'll take your word for it.
It's just ridiculous that a card like Milestone Rickey is not used at all because so many other cards are maxed out.
99 is the most useless number in this entire game...

I’m not sure I agree with you on the outlier. To me, it seems the pitcher confidence is what is out of whack. I’ve been early and very early on outlier fastballs AND late, in close proximity. I’m sure we’ve all had the experience of sitting on one, and still whiffing, even though you felt you were right on it.
I think this is not the outlier, but other factors leading to the outcome.

Nah, it's the outlier in combination with other factors. Outlier is just OP, at least for a large segment of the population. It's also a crutch for people like me -- we know we can roll out Nolan or Verlander and lots of people will quit right away or quit after 6 straight K's.

My biggest problem with outlier is that every pitch is 102 mph. Degrom threw A LOT of pitches over 100 mph this year but it wasn't 102 mph every pitch. He averaged 99.8 mph on his fastball. And it's completely unrealistic for someone to throw 98% of their fastballs at 102 mph for 7 or 8 innings. Stamina needs reworked and outlier needs tweaked so that not every fastball is max velocity all game.

Maybe outlier is a separate pitch, or you have to choose when to use it in some way, and it has a bigger stamina penalty? Of course, stamina would have to be an actual THING. I'd celebrate that compromise.

Best soundtrack in sports was NHL 2K7
I liked the "original score" from SNK Baseball Stars.

You can even say the ESPN NFL 2K4 with Warren Sapp on the cover was an incredible soundtrack because we had many songs to choose from in your Jukebox in The Crib! I think they had all SEGA game themes including the Dayton USA theme.

Regarding soundtrack, I was referring to the first NCAA on ps2 -- 2001, I think? It was just a guitar jam, from the game not an artist, and it was awesome. I think the following year they went to fight songs. But that first one brings back memories...
