Kiki’s tops now is great for the bench, hits lefties really well can play a huge amount of positions with gold defense

You know how you can get like the 5x battle royal 12-0 nameplates and such by exchanging them? I would like it if you could do the same with WS nameplates, I think it’d be a cool way to show if you made WS 5 times, 10 times, etc. I’m hoping they could possibly add this later

I thought the same when I saw the new BR plates. I don’t really enjoy BR, but typically make WS 5-10 times every year. Would be nice for that to be added. The top 50 banners are the “special” banners for ranked seasons, but making top 50 is tough. I’ve came close a few times, but never got in the 50.

Yeah, I’m definitely not a top 50 player lol. I usually get to WS then move on to other things like events and stuff. I can’t play on legend, I’m just awful at it. Lol

I can’t wait to see the stats on all 3. Any of them could easily fit on my team. Maybe I’ll get one and buy another also this inning if I can’t choose between them

Have you looked into Kontrol Freaks?

Yea I have! I’ve tried the galaxy but they tend to come off. I thought about the inferno.

Interesting, I have the galaxy as well and haven’t encountered this issue once.

I wouldn’t be that mad, still a faster win than playing 5 more innings and I can save my bullpen/starters energy

I’ll still stand by my statement that the better player wins 90% of the time

If you take more pitches you’ll get more in the zone. No one wants to walk every batter. If someone I’m playing is chasing constantly they will see far much worse pitches than if I’m playing someone I know is going to be more selective I feel as though I have to at least throw it close to the zone or they’ll take it

Nothing wrong with using a squeeze play. I’ve had it happen against me, I was more mad at myself for not thinking about that and not setting myself up to defend it. You just tip your cap and move on.

The better player does win 90+% of the time.....look at the records of the top players, if the game were as random and user input didn’t matter they wouldn’t be having the records they do. It’s literally an impossibility.

He’d get beat terribly and unless they were just having fun with him. In any competitive game they would beat him bad. They play this videogame for a living.....

@thinkbluedgr said in Here's my issue with using a SP in relief:

I think the idea was for us to have a starting pitcher in the bullpen for when our starter got rocked. Gives up 5 or more runs early. We have someone so we don't burn our bullpen. or when we go into extra innings. We have a starter there to finish the game for us.

But people are already abusing this. My opponent brought in Greinke in the 4th inning when he was already leading by 2 or 3 runs. His pitcher still had plenty of stamina left. There was no reason for him to do that. This is how were going to play the game all year? That's not how baseball is played.
Sometimes it is how baseball is played in the playoffs.....

Went Minnie. I know it’s not the sexiest pick but he fills a real need for my team. I put him in center, good speed, gold fielding, great contact and vision, decent enough power to where I’ve already gone yard with him. Infield is just so stacked that I couldn’t go sandberg. I love FOF tatis and mondesi, also almost have glyber too. Working in getting Eddie also. Behind the dish is my CAP and never really hit well with buster in other years. Reggie looked ok, but I have power hitting outfielders in judge and gallo and his defense was way worse than theirs. I was using judge in center, and although his defense is amazing his speed really hurt trying to chase down balls in the gap, he plays a much better corner outfield for me, I needed speed in center. So I went Minnie. He got the team best right now. I love sandbergs stats and it was really hard not taking him, but it really came down to the fact that I liked my infield way more than I did my outfield at the moment.

I warned everyone to give the game a chance to see how it played before jumping in to messing with the game’s mechanics. But no one wanted to even give the [censored] game a chance before calling for it to be changed

@bradphil87 said in Pitch speed is too slow:

They’re pretty dang fast when you get up past 700 in RS. I got that outlier pitcher kopech and dude couldn’t touch his fastball all game....like at all....I could literally throw it down the middle (and did a few times because I’m not great at pitching.) also I had trouble adjusting to the fastball as well after playing on all star. It’s fast....definitely feels faster than last year

Definitely not faster than last year. Definitely not.

Have you played at HOF level vs kopech or Pearson?

@TheOnlyYetti said in When does this ranked season end?:

1st inning program click in the 20 days countdown would be it. Left side of screen maybe under missions

I don’t believe last year the RS endings correlated with the inning programs, I could be wrong tho. Wouldn’t mind some confirmation on this as well, it used to say right under the World Series rewards in the RS menu

I can see the logic in the original collected ones being no sell/no exchange. But I think a fair compromise would be to allow duplicates to at least be exchanged.

I think he just got an amazing prospect card if I’m not mistaken, like a 90 ovr diamond or something

@Raadush said in 2nd Inning program date?:

Oh thank you, didnt know that. And theoretically do I miss on something when I dont complete it in time and stay on 1st program when 2nd inning program will be already available?

No it just goes to the next one. All the missions and stuff can still be done for the first one, but the daily missions and stuff will start counting towards the 2nd inning when it comes out
