    Pudge, was an elite of the elite defensive catcher. Still with the 96 overall pudge they give him high pop time and arm stats, but no quirks?

    I don’t understand not allowing a counter to all the 99 speed 99 steal guys???

    I’d gladly use a catcher that had 10 power if he had a pop time quirk and could throw out half of the baserunners. Can’t stand giving up free bases.

    @I23SAVAGE23I_XBL There is no pop time quirk anymore. It’s just the pop time stat. Go parallel him and use a defense mod. You can get him to 99 arm and pop time. A diamond power/fielding mod gives you max arm strength, accuracy and pop time.

    Out of curiosity, where did they say there is not a quirk this year? I use Realmuto maxed out with fielding mod and the [censored] still does not work.

    Don’t act like people can’t steal at will on any catcher, even with maxed out stats.

    Glad to hear this garbage won’t have a counter all year!!!! Awesome.

    I believe it was on the pre release stream when they announced that pop time was now an attribute

    @I23SAVAGE23I_XBL Before the season started. Have you not seen the new pop time rating? Sure, you can still steal most of the time, but you can easily max Pudge’s ability to throw runners out.

    @Dolenz_PSN Yeah, they made a pretty big deal about it and failed miserably to execute it. It’s easier than ever to steal. You get thrown out trying to get a double on a ball off the wall with decent speed all the time though. Great job SDS.

    The double problem is caused by all these android diamond outfielders - doesnt really happen when playing with "normal players". Its one of many ways this game goes wonky when every player is a juiced diamond

    The catcher problem...I just dont understand. Stealing is so so free, and it makes no sense.

    Well yeah, I’ve seen the rating, but I thought/hoped a quirk would unlock some new animations or something to help control the running game.

    That is a good point. They probably make the game around realistic ratings in mind.
    Like I said before, I don’t hate the running game being a factor, but give me a legitimate counter if I want to sacrifice hitting.
