Revenge is a dish best served cold.

I assume maintenance still ongoing

They need a 3-prong extension cord and the hardware store hasn't opened yet.

If you're not using it already Directional hitting/Normal swing is your friend for these moments bud. As others have stated it's bomb after bomb with this card from both sides of the plate. The one where you play against the Mets I took 2 walks and hit 6 home runs, it was crazy.

Embarassed to say, but I dont know how to use directional hitting Switched to zone in 17 and dont know how to work with directional anymore

Understood, I'm a zone hitter as well but for any of these moments I'll switch to directional just to get them over with. Even cards with limited power like gold Jackie Robinson magically discover their power stroke with directional hitting.

Anyway switch to directional and hold the stick straight up to influence a fly ball and just wait for something up in the zone and time it properly then watch it fly and then wonder why you don't use directional all the time

Hoping for Pujols for Cardinals.

Friday night and the lights are low, looking out for a place to go...

@Doppelganger39 said in does anyone actually like any of the soundtrack?:

Use to add some Iron Maiden and AC/DC to the sound track but now I usually stream something in the background.

Now we're talking. First two discs I import into the game every year are AC/DC "Powerage" and Iron Maiden "Killers"

Or dump the draft idea and let us play with our DD squad - you know the cards we've been collecting?? Something to do offline with our DD team besides the o-so-stale Conquest?

Rick Beato.

I like the pci improvements, being able to turn off the outer portion of the pci has really helped me to be more selective and precise at the plate.

I really wanted Ryan so I slogged my way through the program, crawled over the 100 point finish line last night. I'm not good enough to amass the extra-base hits or total base requirements so it was all innings. I did use the program cards I got as I went along, not a ton of fun using Gray, Young, Mazeroski. The games by and large were pretty good however - good competition, a few bunters and dash-boarders but I got the feeling everybody was into it to grind out the program. Friday's RS season will have to have a pretty good WS reward, not sure I can summon the energy to go through that again.

I was flipping cards earlier today and our power went out a couple times . Several hours later I go to continue my AL Championship Series up 2 games to none and I get the"cant authenticate" message . Continued to play 2 more games to sweep series but still getting the message before the first game of the world World Series. I guess I would be just wasting my time to continue playing correct ?

you can put in a bug report or issue report, but they will ignore it so yeah....its a complete waste of time

I put in an Issue Report, same issue as has been described here, not expecting a lot. Shame though, I really like MTO, but not going to start one if the TA rewards are not attainable.

I nearly choked on my coffee when I saw this. I don’t think the Yankees woke up quaking in their boots this morning but let’s hope it’s the start of something, anything. Sign Encarnacion as DH and a CF and we might have an interesting 2020.

Why would you want encarnacion back, all he did was strike out in the playoffs.

Anyways, hate to see ryu go. What a year he had for us.

I'm not really worried about EE striking out in the playoffs if you know what I mean...

He's a Dodgers fan. He knows exactly what you mean

That wasn't meant to be a dig at being a Dodgers fan, heck I'd settle for winning the division every year. If EE strikes out for the Jays in the playoffs we've far exceeded our expectations for 2020!

I hit much better with his All Star card than his Sig card for whatever reason, Online and vs. CPU...

I feel like in 17 I could pitch confidently, particularly with starting pitching. If I hit my mark on the meter/analog interface the ball went where I aimed and was effective. In 19 that's not the case, well executed input is not rewarded accurately, I'm terrified of hanging any sort of breaking pitch (I'm looking at you 99 Scherzer). Pitching strategy has become load up on flamethrowers, heave it up there as hard as possible and hope my opponent struggles to hit the heat.

AS Alex Gonzalez, HW or Finest Bryce Harper from the left side, any Stanton card from the right side.

Played some guy with CAP named Mike Hawk the other day. I will leave it at that...

I got the two homers in game 6 one to left one to right, get the count in your favour, look fastball, power swing. He’s got enough power to hit it out against righties if you power swing.

I ran out of fielders once and wound up with a left handed thrower at 3b. A bunt was laid down and as it rolled into foul territory the animation kicked in and he actually swept it back into fair territory. Good for a chuckle.

Directional hitting, normal swing worked for me, 2 hrs over the wall in left, might be fast enough to score on a gapper but the bases often get clogged ahead of you.
