My opinion of the game and my offline franchise
-
I loved ABBA, too!!
Oh ...
Sweet!!!
A few years back I was ordered to get all my stuff from my parents house. I was going through those about 3 weeks ago. I got all the sets from the 80s through 1993 and a bunch of the classic teams. Plus 1978, the one I played with my dad.

@dogfishjones0_PSN I appreciate these good vibes Dog Fish Jones

@Barfy-Bad-Gas_XBL Same here, if you avoid playing DD mode, and treat this as an offline game, akin to baseball games on the Genesis, or N64 days, it's a great baseball sim.

I have gameplay on simulation and this isn't close to simulation. Late innings are a circus.
-
I play each and every batting/pitching in the game. I simulate nothing. I do not have an issue with late inning homers. Yes, I do lose and win a few in the 9th inning, but it is not something that regularly happen. That happens in real baseball.
I have lost games because of a homer, but I have found that real teams do start swinging for the fences to gain that run(s). The CPU pitching can be hit or miss, but if i see their reliever is rather wild, I'll wait unit the pitch location is in my favor, but that does not result in a homerun often.
I do have my sliders adjusted to make it what I feel truer to life. -

I have mine set on simulation mode. I am not seeing those problems, not saying you are not.

I played APBA and strata-matic way back when. I loved it because for its time it offered great realism. At 70 years old, it took some time to adapt to video games, but having played since 2014 I've reach a point where I can play my franchise on legend. I played online for years and fared well but stopped a few years ago because of all the quitting, cheating, and disparaging texts from petulant sore losers. I think I'm just getting too old for online play but with all the complaints I find this game very enjoyable to play.

I remember playing 'baseball' on my 2600 in the late 70s. The 'player' was essentially a rectangle with a circle for a head (I sure would like the 'face scan' folks to play that for a few hours).
But, despite my near 50 years of playing video game baseball, I still can't hit water if I fell out of a boat.

Are you using manage mode?

I bat with my team, and I pitch with my team. The only thing I have on auto is fielding.

A friend in Strat is a friend of mine!I 100% agree.
This version of Baseball we have with the show is pure art to my eyes.
I see Keith Hernandez play vs Detek Jeter.
I love it and thete is Strat randomness in the RNG of Classic Pitching and auto fielding.
Hitting on Legend is hard enough.
