I've struggled so so much on showdowns, but was never an advocate for change.
However, after failing on Hendriks 4 times in a row trying to do AL West again ... yeah, I'd be happy to see some changes. Still think they should be very hard, but perhaps not this hard.
Then again, if I really look deep into my heart after each failure ... the blame lies solely on little ol' me.

Buy it, I reckon. I would if I had that sort of deniro.
I really don't see him dropping beyond 295k any time soon. Buy the dude and have fun with him. -
I've gone through quite a few MTOs so far this year, but lately it has felt different. This week I have just finished Mariners regular season and today just started an Angels campaign.
The end of the Mariners season was a slog; literally playing every second game for the last month. I couldn't believe it, but put it down to being a close division race (I started strong, but muffed the second half).
Now, doing the Angels, I've been battling away for close to an hour - only losing one game, but it is still April!!!!!!!!! It just seems they are making us play more games, even though the patch notes said nothing about this. I hate posts where one or two experiences end up with a "have you noticed this" post ... but has anyone else noticed this? -
Oh [censored] ha, I made a spreadsheet to track my TA progress and the rewards.
I misread his card, and I wrote that Jung was a SP. So even through I was only 10 TA points away from getting him a few weeks ago, I didn't bother. I went after Hayes instead.
Just completed those final 10 points now. -
Yeah, I'm almost Gold 50 and have a stacked DD team; but I rarely play on line and really suck at it (5-5 RS). I'm certain when opponents see they've matched me they think "WTF", but then after a few at bats they realise "heck, this guy sucks".
-
I don't think the awards you're referring to really mean much, other than satisfying some completion urge you have... which is fair enough I guess. Though, there wouldn't be a baseball player in the world who would say "Nah, I don't want to play in the majors just yet, lemme stay here in A ball so I can get that RBI trinket".
I don't think there is anything you can do to keep yourself in the minors .... other than playing bad.

The strike count even went up just moments before the out was registered. Nutso. That is defo a bug.
-
Told myself not to do it.
But I did.
I got Morton. Not a massive L, but a pretty sizeable L all the same. I knew the risks. -

I seem to be in the minority, but 52 points for an optimal Veteran MTO run is pretty good IMHO.
Btw, it's 42 points on veteran. Definitely not a high replay value.
Oh, I didn't pay attention to what I got in the past; but looking at the possible pay outs, isn't it:
11 per half of regular season (22 points), 5 points for the Div Series, 10 points for the League Champ Series and 15 points for the World Series = 52 points?Wait a mo, I reckon I've double and triple dipped in the post season. It's 15 points in total for a WS series win; not the earlier points. Ok. I'm a fool.
Ok, yeah 42 points is a tiny bit low. 50 seems right.
edit 2: wait, that doesn't add up to 42 either. Ok, I'm done doing maths for today.

It's the bane of my existence, but I vote for no change .

@Scarletgospel said in Playing red dead redemption...:
I started the other night. Really enjoying it. Looking forward to more of it. Been a long time since I've looked forward to playing a game.
I'm not sure how you like to play, but I really recommend taking your time. Don't rush through the story line. Go out and explore the map, collect pelts and skins, etc, do side quests (I think there were some), just do heaps of random stuff have fun with it. Then when that gets boring, jump back into the storyline missions.
-
All extended play CPU games it seems to be random who they matched with. In fact more often than not, when I picked my Ace, I was matched up against their 5th banana. Just lucky I guess.
Though, I really only starting grinding extended CPU games about a month ago. -
I really miss Arthur Morgan.

@Clefans said in This mode is pretty cool:
You are correct. I think the mode is really fun. Of course I ran through it with the Tribe and made it to the World Series. I was really surprised but the most fun I had was using the Blue Jays. Second best team I used, I thought, was the Mets. The absolute worst team to use is the Mariners. No amount of trades could help that team.
Yikes, I just started the Mariners because I want to get White to fill my 1B spot.
I got the Pirates to the World Series (and am parking it there until TA stage 3) and that was a struggle... mostly because of time. I reckon 80% of my games went deep into extra innings.I had a lot of fun with the Nats.
-
Thought I was being clever and stretched out a CPU game to 17 innings to complete my Pirates 250 innings for TA (was starting at 119 going into it).
Came out of the game and I was only at 200 ... i.e. an increase of 81 only, whereas I was expecting 17x8.
I guess they cap it at 81 innings per game, no matter how long it goes for.Not mad, just thought I'd let y'all know; even though it was probably already known to most?

Go to a bookie, across various race meets bet on 50 horses each with winning odds of 50:1.
How do you reckon you'll do? -

I’ll have it done tonight for sure. I play the strongholds on hall of fame difficulty trying to get a diamond after game reward.
I just got diamond after game reward on all star. Chris Sale. Well, he was an option. I didn't actually get him, I think I ended up with sunflower seeds. Devastating.
Same thing happened to me with Trout a while ago. -
It's not the point of your post, but you touched on something that really annoys me. Sometimes for the life of me I just cannot get to that pause menu to make some managerial changes (pinch, warm up, etc). Even if the dude doesn't pitch straight away, I'm there mashing the options button but nothing f-ing happens.
Mind you, in 20 I've only plated 8 RS games and a handful of BR.
