Any old farts good at this game?
-
I’m going to be 55 soon, I have been playing since my early 20’s. MLB The Show since 2006. I can sense my timing has slowed a bit. I strike out a lot more. I change the difficulty to help but rookie is just too easy. So I bat veteran and pitch all star. Still strikeout a bit more than I would like. The dynamic setting just changes too frequently for me. Although I think my younger self would have liked that better
-
50 here feel I am decent at everything playing this game other than hitting for power. I struggle to hit homeruns even with top HR hitters.

@frankieciv608_PSN try holding the right stick slightly up
-
im 40 and started playing 5 years ago. best I've achieved in ranked is low 700s. a few times this year and maybe once previously. normally 500-600s.
-
59, play offline mostly. Don’t like the glitching in online play. I think I’m decent. When I do play online I win more than I lose
-
55, not good. Used to be ok but only play offline now.

Im still alright. Dont know if 47 is considered old. I always made WS at ease 16-22. then in 23 lost playing time and interest, but still felt if I had PT of prior years WS would be easy. Same this year. But with the whole earn cards without reaching WS program I kind of lost motivation. All extreme stuff still is very easy. It is all in the eyes when you get older. When I play on the portable Switch i dont stand much of a chance.

Working on 63 years old next month so I think I've got you all beat.....but it would be the only thing I could beat you on. I am terrible but I love the game although the new season seems to be a lot of time spinning my wheels again
-
I'm 54, play offline, how good I am depends on the amount of arthritis I have on the day I'm playing.
-
I am 46. I am very streaky in online. I find offline play to be too boring so I try to do the minimum of conquest and mini-seasons. I'll do the moments and the normal Showdowns once. Rest of the time it is ranked seasons where I am currently around 210 - 220. Would be better if I didn't automatically quit when playing an opponent in a created stadium. By the end of the game cycle I expect to be about 20 above .500 when I am only using my favorite squad and not trying to achieve TA and whatnot.

You're all a bunch of young farts. I'm 74 (75 in sept.). LOL I do fair at the game. I play at veteran or all-star levels.

I’m 49 and it is really cool to see dudes my age and older still playing. I can remember when I didn’t even want people knowing I still gamed. Well, I didn’t go out of my way to tell em’. Anyway I made Pennant this year once so far. Last I made it to whatever the next one up is for 1 game and was sent packing back down… lol. I have been doing a lot of HR Derby this year, number 18 or 19 on the leaderboard, and it has helped my timing a great deal. Another tip I have for ya older players. Get a DualShock Edge controller. You can adjust the response times on the sticks. I know it has helped me a bunch. Maybe it may help ya’ll as well. Kinda pricey though.
O A D L Old As Dirt League has a nice ring to it… lol I’m on ps5. Interested in the league idea for sure.

@jaychvz_XBL im in an over 40 custom league. It's a chill group. All that we ask is that you be active and play a couple games a week. Let me know if you are interested.
-
@sleever44_PSN See my message in this thread to another player. If you are interested let me know.

This is great to see older guys playing. I'm 43 and love playing . I play both online and offline. I'm can normally get to about 600 in RS but then I move on to something else like events or offline.
-
45 and this is the first year that i can definitively see I'm getting worse at the game. Made WS in past. I usually play on HoF. Now that I'm older my interest really lies in strategy game and mlb the show. I am interested in the new NCAA football though
-
I’m 45. Starting playing in ‘20 and got beat up on. Slowly started to get better. Made WS for the first time last year. This year 2x flawless and on the verge of WS. I woulda had it last year except for a stupid disconnect cost me 30 points at the end. I’ll get it this time.

I’m 57 . I’m disabled. ( chronic back & hip pain , 2 bad surgeries ) . I mostly play casually . Mostly rookie or veteran against the cpu on DD or Franchise. I Love baseball . I play once in a while against people and get my [censored] beat and go back to casual. I’ve been playing The Show since the first year on Xbox. I mostly have a lot of fun, but this year’s game has been pretty frustrating at times with bad glitches, bad play mechanics and other problems. But I’m still playing & hoping it gets better.

I'm old and terrible.
