Roden, Springer, C. Young, Wood, Vasho, Call, Adell, Rushing, Anthony, Dunn, Sanoja and Estrada all have 27.8 sprint speeds. All below Garcia's 27.9, and all of them have higher in game speed. Hell, some of them even have over 20 points more in speed in game then Garcia does. SDSs sprint speed for speed simply doesn't make any sense at all.

If that's the case then you have a legitimate complaint.

All I pointed out is that they don't base the Speed attribute on Stolen Bases.

Sorry for calling you an SDS apologist too btw. lol

Atleast 3 of those guys I mentioned have mid 80 speed and then some with the same sprint speed as Garcia had lower speed in game aswell.

Maikel Garcia has 22 SB and his speed didn't get an upgrade from 64? Bonkers. His defense attributes should have been boosted a bit too and they weren't. He is one of the best defenders in the game, his stats prove it. Yet he still sits at an 84?

Yes, I did invest in him quite a bit for this "update". lol

Speed is determined by Statcast's sprint speed and stolen bases have no bearing on it. He already has 89 steal.

It's always best to understand how they derive their attributes before investing.

That's a moronic way to determine speed then if you ask me. If you've ever seen him play, he definitely should have more then that measly 64 speed. He is constantly beating out throws to first and he always goes for the extra base when applicable.

It's moronic to use actual measurements and times that measure a players fastest sprint speed to get his speed stat?

Or is it moronic because you invested money thinking that Sprint Speed and Base Stealing wire tied together?

Looks like I've finally ran into one of you SDS apologists I've heard so much about during my time here on the forums.

Yes, it is moronic. You cannot objectively watch baseball and honestly believe someone like Realamuto is faster then Garcia. You can't. SDS says Seiya Suzuki is faster then him too. In what world is this true? Not in the real world. Garcia having only 64 speed is a god [censored] joke.

Realmuto's measured sprint speed in games is 28.3 feet per second.
Garcia's measured sprint speed is 27.9 feet per second

But sure I am being an apologist. Sorry if my facts got in the way of your outrage.

Schneeman, Trout and Rivas all have the same 27.9 as Garcia does but all are faster then him in game. Speed is determined by statcast sprint speed is what you said, how do you explain these guys having higher speed then?

@Talkingben9558_XBL said in George Brett?:

The card isnt even that good ngl. Just get Junior Caminero

Fake news

Cutting down the amount of free agent cards in packs and increasing the amount of team cards would be nice. I have 20+ dupes on a ton of free agent cards. Why?

I'm sure this has been brought up already but the cpu/online stats for players don't work for me 95% of the time. There is no tab to switch between cpu and online stats

@TheGoaler_PSN I’m talking about the attribute wheel, which has been broken the entire year. They even talked about it in a pre release stream.

Wow. I never even noticed it, to tell you the truth. Since I never noticed, please explain what isn't working?

The attributes on some of the wheels are way off. You have to click on the cards to see the real attributes.

@jaychvz_XBL said in Ichiro???:

No one would use him anyways , people only use switch hitters or power hitters.

I would definitely use him.

Will they release a different Beltran card the rest of this year other than the collection one? As a Royals fan, I've always wanted a Beltran card ever since the show came to xbox. I won't be getting that collection Beltran until the very end of this games cycle when it will be easier to obtain. I can't recall but in years past it did seem like some collection cards like that received different version or two throughout the year, am I correct or no?

I just opened up 200+ packs this weekend alone. Show, BIAH, HL. 1 diamond Will Smith. I've already reached 200 FA in collections, just got 86 new FA in those packs not including dupes (I bet it's about the same amount too). I also counted more gold equipment and jerseys than actual gold players aswell. A bunch of dupes there too. I get it, they all can't be winners but [censored] man it's frustrating as hell.

I just opened 25 show packs and got 42 free agent players out of them. I know all packs can't be winners but I think its ridiculous how many free agents you get in these packs. Atleast give us a few more common or bronze players on actual teams instead. There are a few free agent players I noticed where I had 4,5,6 duplicates already this early in the game's cycle.

@ArGenTin32_XBL said in Please fix the cup pitching/ hitting:

I've also noticed this year the CPU pitch speeds have seemed to increase. 91 mph fastballs seem faster compared to past years. And yes, it's either pitches completely out of the zone or pitches being dotted by bronze players aswell.

On a side note, is it just me or does it seem like the cpu pitchers don't throw over to 1st with a runner on anymore? Fast guys usually got a throw or two tossed over. Not for me this year, I haven't had one cpu throw over yet. Hell. I haven't seen a pitchout or sidestep yet.

Ive been picked off a couple times taking leads with guys with steal in the 50s (not every team has a good steal guy to get those 3/15 steal milestones), but the only pitch out Ive seen was in a showdown which is just rude.

Ah, I never take leads. Even in years past though I was still getting pitchers throwing over, pitching out and slide stepping. This year I haven't got any of that yet.

Sofar I've opened maybe 250 regular packs and received only Julio Rodriguez and Logan Gilbert. I've opened maybe 15 BIAH packs and 20 headliner packs and out of those I've gotten pudge, Houck, vlad jr. and Corey Seagar. Obviously, better luck with the latter but my typical early season luck with regular packs...garbage. Look on the bright side though, I've atleast reached my reward for obtaining 200 FA cards...yippie!

Ever since I started playing this game when it came to Xbox I've never pulled a high or mid diamond at the beginning of the year. I've only pulled them when the game is dying out at the end of the season. You aren't the only one with the horrible luck.

Just a heads up. The now or later packs look identical to 25' Show packs. They will not say "now or later" on them, only in the small print when hovering over the correct ones.
