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]”

@magentabook8516_xbl said in Degrom:

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

Cliff Lee was #33 for the Phillies after they acquired Halladay! #34 is reserved for Roy forever!

Veterans Stadium would be cool. Kingdome too.

I want a diamond Luke Williams with every position secondary now! Walk-off homer!

I finally made it to HOF and I’m finally liking playing this game

After facing Edward Cabrera on HOF…ugh

That’s two walk-offs in a row for Segura, three consecutive for the Phillies. Should be a two-for-one moment incoming (or three-for-two including Luke Williams). Show me that diamond with max contact, vision, and clutch

Brian Wilson was more entertaining.

Huge fan of the beard

@thaghettoblasta said in What do you think is the worst Diamond card in the game?:

Gary effin Carter and Ozzie effin Smith! LOL

Gary Carter for sure just based strictly on moments vs CPU

@bodamescapeplan said in Two months in; who is in your rotation?:

The last few days I've actually seen some surprising variety in Ranked Seasons. Sure, you're always going to see a heavy dose of Corbin Burnes, Edward Cabrera and Cliff Lee but I've played a guy using the POTM Zack Wheeler (he's better than I thought), Topps Now J.A. Happ (...I don't want to talk about him), FS Michael Kopech and LS Walker Buehler (very underrated).

My current rotation is:

Ace - Vida Blue (Milestone Series)
SP2 - Al Leiter (Milestone Series)
SP3 - Greg Maddux (2nd Half Series)
SP4 - Edward Cabrera (TA 2 - Future Stars)
SP5 - Michael Kopech (Classic Future Stars)

Also Own/Use: Tom Glavine, Cliff Lee, Chris Sale, Dylan Cease, Corbin Burnes and Roy Oswalt

I was probably “that” guy

Lee, Oswalt, Wheeler, Pedro, Burnett
Have also used LS Wheeler and Nola quite a bit. I’ll also use Ohtani from time to time (only non Phillie i use)

Everyone I face though: Cabrera, Cabrera, Burnes, Priester, Cabrera

42 or AS Pedro? Not seeing much love for his AS, he’s great with 99 FB and that circle change

AS since it came out. 42 prior. Used to use 42 Sixto too

@eatyum_psn said in Topps Now - No Nola:

He wouldn't be in this week's though right? They are always doing the week prior

It would be the 21-27 so that card would be eligible the only thing you would have to consider is that Nola is getting a POTM card

He has stunk pretty much all season a POTM card seems unlikely

hopefully he gets one solely based on the fact he has struck out 23 batters in his past two starts over 10 innings

Seems more like a Topps Now type of thing IMO than a POTM Card

or possibly, fingers crossed, a special Milestone card. That would be even better
