Do what you thinks best. I love baseball so I’m gonna get early access and just deal with whatever happens.

I just got a Series X. I’m gonna preorder the deluxe edition because the show is all I play other than some CoD.

Series X just came today. I wanted to see and feel what others are saying about the input being better. It will be a bummer to get rid of the PS5 but if it’s true then it’s a no brainer for me. Mickey Mouse box it’ll be!

@raesONE_PSN and @TEXAS10PT_PSN did you guys game on a 27in or smaller monitor before getting the gig 32in? Just wondering because I wanna try a 32 out but don’t wanna spend too much on one if I end up not liking it.. I know 800 is a lot but I really have my eyes on some monitors dropping later this year. One for sure is the acer predator x32 fp (I’ve heard 1800 lol) but I wanna see a review first and again gotta try a 32 before I throw out that kind of money.

I played on a 27" Benq monitor for years before I switched to this 32". It is a significan increase if you sit behind a desk, but my desk is deep enough to not be overwhelmed by the size of the screen. I actually really really enjoy it, adds to my level of immersion.

Hmm, may have to pull the trigger and try it out! I’m using a BenQ 27in right now too and I’m tired of looking at it. Do you feel like you see the ball any better when hitting since it’s 4K and a bigger screen? Thanks man!

If it's Chase Utley I will feel like they're making this years game just for me with all the Phillies content. But I could see it being an all time troll job in Citizens Bank Park and it being Hedeki Matsui. He seems like a player SDS would get.

I would love to see Bobby Abreu!

Bobby Abreu, Magglio Ordonez, Bernie Williams, Aramis Ramírez, Brian Giles just to name a few more that haven’t been mentioned. There’s so many but I want them all lol

I’d take a finest JRam.

@dbub_psn said in Trea Turner event coming back?:

It's so bizarre how different cards play for different gamers.

I've loved both Trea cards offline. But online? My Finest Trea is hitting 0.079. Pretty large sample size too.

Granted, I'm much better hitting with lefties, but I'm hitting over 0.300 and 1.100 OPS with All Star Xander.

I usually still use Trea and bat him 8th for his speed and defense.

Yeah different folks different strokes. A player's swing and stance can make a big difference from one player to the next and some might love it, others might hate it.

Totally agree. Also a big factor is the height of a player. Some like Cedric Mullins and some like Judge.

@johndarlas_mlbts said in Help With Controller Issues:

I recently moved to the Xbox Series X/S
The only issue I have with my controller is pinpoint pitching.
I press the right analog stick down, and the line stops halfway or goes to the left or right. I'm sure
It's something I'm probably doing wrong.

Nah it’s most likely not you. Xbox has had bugs with pinpoint pitching. They’ve patched it supposedly but I’ve heard some still complain.

Either write them down or screen shot them with your phone.

Shouldn't Have Gotten Yourself Thrown Out of Baseball:
Roberto Alomar

For fun, here's the current active career WAR Leaders we can expect to get Max cards as well (though these could get it via TA5 Finest):
-1. Albert Pujols
-2. Mike Trout
-6. Robinson Cano (see Alomar above)
-12. Paul Goldschmidt
-17. Buster Posey (his program ala Cabrera/Scherzer?)
-18. Adam Wainwright
-24. Jacob deGrom (though he does have a 99 ASG)
-25. Freddie Freeman
-28. Jose Altuve (though he does have a 98 Topps Now)
-33. Lorenzo Cain
-38. Starling Marte
-41. Corey Kluber
-44. Michael Brantley (though he does have an ASG card)
-48. Anthony Rendon (though he does have a 99 Finest Classic)

Just reminds me that Brantley LS is a silver. I know he isn't that good defensively but the man is a pure hitter. It's laughable that he is not at least a gold and this is coming from a Braves fan.

One of the smoothest swings in the game. He’s special.

I think it’s just that slight difference of the angle and not as zoomed in on the pitcher.

@hikes83_psn said in Who changes camera view depending on pitchers?:

I can’t be the only person who does this.

For the most part, I’m a SZ guy. But some pitchers I do better against when I use SZ High.

I agree. I don’t do it all the time but I have here and there. Definitely see Chris sale better in sz high. Probably even throw Chapman in that category with sale.

Holy hell i hope not.

@gradekthebard said in Question on BR reward:

You could have held the pack, but you had to not go into br again after your 12-0. The way it works (or at least did earlier) is that you don’t actually get the 12-0 pack in your inventory until you go back into the br page and “collect” your rewards. As long as it’s not in your inventory, the contents aren’t locked.

Hmmm. I already drafted a new team... so my pack is lock with current rewards?

Yeah, you can’t go back into BR after you go flawless.

EA with mvp baseball was a good series. 2k was bad.

Edit. - just seen EA might be in the works now of making another baseball game. Interesting..

BR is probably the easiest and quickest way to cash in on good rewards or even stubs if you decide to sell what you get. As long as you can win a few games each entry you’ll be good. Also there are missions for certain players that are easy to grind.

@ericulous1_psn said in The Next 8th Inning Program:

There should be a cage match between the Mets and Padres to determine who is the worst most cancer riddled organization in baseball. Who takes their top prospects and either trades them away, or destroys their bodies. Which organization has an assembly line of hurt pitchers. Who hires their friends with no managerial experience and takes a team teeming with talent directly to the middle of the division.

It would be a good match.

What about the Pirates? That Archer trade might be one of, if not the worst trade ever! Archer for Meadows, Glasnow, and Baz.. I understand though when it comes to prospects, you don’t know who’s gonna pan out or not.. but [censored], what a hit for the Rays. Oh and Archer is back with the Rays lol

Baseball is life! I’ll never stop. Might play some CoD or Battlefield but baseball is always being played.
