I wish there would be a mode with no god squads, only theme teams

I think we can all agree that San Diego Studio in Spanish means: “A Whale’s [censored]”

Anyone else think its weird that the topps now moment for degrom is to pitch 6 innings of no run baseball and only give up one hit against the Padres. Then tonight he pitched 6 innings and gave up only 1 hit before leaving.

lol that’s great. Guess he completed the moment and confirmed exit. Took me about six tries

@bobbyromano24 said in HOF enjoyable?:

I just don’t understand why Edward Cabrera can consistently throw 100 mph sinkers but guys like Zack Wheeler and Jose Alvarado max out at 97 with their sinkers. And it also makes zero sense how a sinker acts NOTHING like a 2-seam FB in the game when they are the SAME PITCH in real life. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills! Doesn’t anybody else realize this?!? Ferrari, Le Tigre, Blue Steel, there all the same look!!!

Because Edward Cabrera has outlier on his sinker and those other guys don't.

It’s because they made his sinker 93-100 and the other guys 93-97. Alvarado throws everything 99-102 so there’s no reason for him to top out at 97. Wheeler also isn’t topping out at only 97 with his sinker, that’s his average velo. It’s poor programming. Another note: a 98 mph sinker should be the same perceived velocity as a 98 mph 4 seam, a 98 mph 2 seam, or a 98 mph cutter. Yet these pitches will feel like: sinker 102, 4 seam 98, 2 seam/cutter 94

Schmidt had his 4 HR game at Wrigley. Card art should not be a picture of him in a home uniform

I would take your mother, Dorothy Mantooth, out to a nice seafood dinner, and then NEVER CALL HER AGAIN

@msacks11_psn said in What is the single (super minor) detail that annoys you the most?:

That the 99 overall Schmidt card is wearing bobos and not the Nike cleat like the card art shows or like the other Schmidt card. So small it's not worth complaining about but it bugs me.

This. Coupled with the fact he hit 4 home runs at Wrigley wearing the powder blue road uniforms. Yet the card art is in the home uniforms. SMH. But overall I’d say the in game cleats not being Nike is more annoying

Also having this issue in DD. Tried to equip the new Armed Forces Stance socks in team equipment all weekend and they never showed in a game

Never know how a game on All-star is going to go, but usually pitchers are useless and it’s a home run derby. Every once in a while it plays like HOF and it’s tough to score no matter how good your timing and contact is. But most of the time it plays like Rookie and it’s just a slug fest. Just lost 20-10 while giving up 20 hits and 9 home runs, including an 8 run 7th to end the game! If the mercy rule didn’t kick in who knows I could have won or lost 30-29. This game is so unplayable, we should be able to play on the difficulty we want to actually enjoy the game

The game still freezes on routine ground balls to 2nd base! EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Veterans Stadium. and real life minor league/spring training stadiums

@twisted-_-tea-_psn said in Pci is garbage and so is this game:

Seriously? You guys actually see how garbage the hitting engine is with pitches and there’s just silence?? Not able to say “see you tomorrow” anymore??

You're the home team, which means you chose to play at Shippett. I'm sorry, but what exactly were you expecting?

The hitting may not be perfect, but you aren't doing yourself any favors playing at a small stadium with high elevation. Everyone and their grandmother knows the ball flies there. You shouldn't be shocked that two players with over 100 power can put it over the wall when the ball is only slightly outside the inner PCI with good timing.

Hahahaha that’s karma for picking Shippett!

@ladyswampfox_xbl said in 1,000,000!:

I have finally done it. After playing this game for 5 years and God knows how many hours, I have reached 1 million stubs!

And I didn’t pay a cent!

I have 2.93 mil with nothing to do with it. Also didn’t pay a cent

to replicate 2008 WS Game 5

Not a new card. Same as the 2019 SS. I’m fine with it. Fits on my Mariners theme team, still waiting for Jr. Also, they mention “Signature season” for these programs/moments. So it’s not really based off a whole career but sometimes only one season. But also it uses the best power and best speed and best fielding from any point in their career.

The answer: only 17

Bret and Aaron Boone and their father Bob. Forget who their grandfather is but that is three generations of MLB players and managers

@twisted-_-tea-_psn said in Quirks:

First pitch hitter is good but the best ones are dead red and breaking ball hitter. Boosts contact against those pitches so players tend to play above their attributes. Big reason why the trea turner is so good

as mentioned First pitch hitter, dead red, and breaking ball hitter are all super beneficial for hitters. also two-strike hitter. live series Bryce Harper has first pitch, dead red, and two-strike. so i am always trying to hunt a fastball but usually don't swing if there's one strike
