It’s been talked about for a few days now.

@penguinztoocold_psn said in Why won’t they make a good catcher!!:

Come on sds... it’s october. Why are there no good catchers in this game. I just can’t hit with Adley, Pudge doesn’t have enough pop. Schwarber can’t throw anyone out.

You’re using the wrong catchers. If you want pop and and arm, 2021 All-Star Realmuto (not the TA one) is what you’re looking for.

I just finished a 9 inning game vs the CPU to finish the Smoltz program. After I exited out of the post game it kicked me out. I really don’t want to play another 9 inning CPU game!

Thank you to everyone daily who posts during week for me

This has been my favorite thread. Good work @nymets1987_PSN and to all that posted every day.

I am not on the game right now,; but if I remember correctly, there is one for collecting future stars. It should be a 1980s retro nameplate, or something like that.

I thought when you open a choice pack it says “new,” or something of the sort, and tells you how many you have of the ones you do have. I could be wrong about it being on every choice pack.

@misfits_138_1_psn said in Perfect/Perfect... Foul?:

My son just absolutely tattooed a pitch in H2H, perfect/perfect.

I just had to laugh when I lined a perfect/perfect foul into the seats. Only happened to me once, but I’m glad to see I didn’t imagine it.

I like your list too.

4 lefties is way too much

Agreed, 2 lefties is just perfect.

I like to keep three in my pen

Why is everyone so hung up on what jersey is on the card? You can put him in any jersey you want in the game. I care more about the players swing and attributes.

I don’t think I will get to the boss pack due to XP not counting and barely getting to play because of server. I had to spend stubs just to ensure I will have him if I don’t make it. The Show is my favorite game. I have not missed a boss since I started playing. I am not a good player either. Just a baseball fan trying to have fun. I don’t know if this year’s game will bring that.

@brainfreeze442 said in Who do you have at first?:

Have you tried FOF Josh Bell? Switch hitter, balanced attributes in hitting. Plus it’s a good, low budget card.

No I haven't.

I think I'm just going with a platoon if CA Ortiz and AS Youkilis.

Honestly; since I don't play RS it probably doesn't matter who I use in a cpu game.

Only way I would be able to actually compare them is online and unless they're eligible for an Event (this one they are) or I get them in BR.

And I don't think I would get a good sample size in 3 inn game modes.

I don’t play RS either; due to injuries I cannot sit through 9 inning games. I actually like 3 inning games, but I get what you are saying. Good luck with platooning the two. Big Papi crushes righties, I haven’t tried Youk though.

@khain24_psn said in Who Have You Not Seen In Last 5 years Or More Or Never Seen That You Would Like To See?:

Love to see Ichiro back.

A Postseason (2009) Hideki Matsui.

Literally any Tim Raines.

Even the years when he went by Rock Raines? Haha

@brainfreeze442 said in When does the first big collection come out?:

Are we sure they are doing multiple cards throughout the game again? Or is there a chance it will be just one player like Honus Wagner in 19 and Trout in 20?

I don't think anyone can say definitively that it will be multiple cards but my guess is if the first one drops in May that there will be more.

I agree, but did SDS say there was on coming this early? Sorry for all the questions, it has been a difficult month.

Throw it out of the zone and hope they get weak contact if they do reach it.

No it's just a foul or a home run. I just gave up a wakl off home run on a pitch a foot above the k zone after a 12 pitch at bat.

That really does sound annoying. I don’t understand why if someone is swinging at pitches far out of the zone they are able to get good contact. I’m sure you tried this, but stay away from above the zone. Throw sliders way outside. Make sure the catcher can get to it if there is anyone on base.
Other than that I am at a loss. Do you have pitchers with high hits/9 and k/9? That will make their pci smaller.

Bang bang

You left off Shrimp.

Trash cans don't make you hit .188 vs our pitching or miss 23 straight knuckle curves.

No matter how easy it is for some to dislike the Astros, Verlander was great when he was with Detroit. I have respect for him as a great pitcher; unfortunately, his only ring is connected to that year.

Did you look under the Manage tab for your ball player? They separate each of the 4 main archetypes.
I hope that helps.

@styxxx80_xbl said in When do I see it:

So I’ve selected numerous and varied home run celebrations (not the no doubt animations). And I never see them. When do they trigger? I just hit a two run walk off and didn’t see it.

Did you load them into your ballplayer/profile?
