Orel is the best SP in the game if you prestige him...Marichal sucked, I could read him easily. Henke is ok. Wood is probably 2nd best and then Leiter.

The reward path players don’t get prestiged thro stats, you will be able to get his prestige at prestige level 5

@AJ_Franks said in All star vs. Hall of Fame Questions:

At what ranking do games go from all star difficulty to hall of fame difficulty?

What are the big differences? Does pitching get better.

Pitch speeds and pci size. Also, your opponent also has to be at least 700 rating otherwise the difficulty is at all star.

That makes sense, thanks guy

@eatyum said in Stage 1-3 moments:

It goes towards wherever you are at
So if you're on stage 2 with the Padres and do the 3 Padre moments, it goes towards that
If you're on stage 3 with the Cardinals and do the 3 Cardinal moments, it goes towards that.

That makes sense. Thanks a bunch for the clarification!

Yes. Agents is correct. Play now and Redeem when you connect.

The last thing this game needs is to start guaranteeing home runs. We have enough of those already.

This is correct, has nothing to do with deception as argued above.

Eh, semantics. If you throw a fastball with Chapman with full “effort” input it will surely be faster. But it will also be flatter, and easier to decipher, that it indeed is a fastball hurling at the zone.

Throw that same fastball with “green” effort input, off of the slider tunnel...it won’t be as flat or fast, and you just bought yourself a few milli-seconds of time for the batter to determine what your throwing. By having that slight “hump” in the FB’s flight path, it helps it mimic or give the split second illusion that it may be a slider.

I struggled mightily with Chapman, because I was trying to throw the heat as fast as possible. But with the effort input adjustment and tunneling, I’ve righted the ship. So in part it does have something to do with deception.

Tomato tomato

" Lineups would be mostly diamond but at least there would be some variability instead of every team having the 99 rated players."

Not true at all, no matter what mode they create, there will always be a meta. You would see a lot of Bellinger, Trout, Gary Sanchez at catcher etc.

People always think if they create some new mode, magically the playerbase will not default to certain cards, when in reality they always will

Yea I get what you're saying. I think it would be more fun, especially as the real season starts and players are moving up and down in attributes and rankings. It could be fun to follow along with that. And I still think there would be more different lineups than having the 99 card of each position, especially towards the end of the year.

There wouldn't be more different lineups, because your misrepresenting what the actual real ranked season is like. There wasn't one 99 card of each position, there were like 10-15 per position, whereas with LS, there is only one best card and that's Mike Trout, anyone who has Mike Trout will always use Mike Trout, anyone who has Bellinger will always use Bellinger. People always default to the highest/best card, no matter the mode.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea to have a always going LS thing, it would be fun, but it's not going to magically create more diverse lineups.

Currently, in real ranked seasons, you see so many different 1B, FOTF Matt Olson, Todd Helton, Giambi, Kirilloff, Olreud, you see secondaries guys like Nolan Gorman, Nolan Jones, that list will only get more expansive as the year goes on.

You know who you would face all the time with only LS? Pete Alonso, Freddie Freeman, maybe Arenado or Rendon in a secondary and perhaps once in a blue moon LS Olson.

Yea I feel you. I didn’t realize there would be 10-15 options of 99s at each position. I guess I would appreciate the increased value of the live series cards.

It’d be cool if the card’s attributes are based on Snell’s overall performance playing the video game. In other words, it’d be fun to get a Snell card that looks like an Ohtani card.
