I made the mistake of trying to edit my stadium and now it won't upload. I on Xbox X so it's a problem everywhere!

Well I am up for any older friends that love to play the show. I'm on Xbox but feel free to add me and maybe we can play some fun games.

@Blind_Bleeder I'm an xbox guy and don't know anything about Discord but would love to play with others my age.

Oh one more thing being old and playing the youngster online when they message you after hitting a walk off against you telling you to get off their field. You calmly message back saying gg you really tagged that one. I guess I should have went to the bullpen instead of trying to get one more batter out of this 62 year old arm lol. They usually message back saying WoW GG.

@RayLewisSB47_PSN @DIRTY-SHAWNCHEZ_PSN can you please answer me a question? Why do players constantly pause the game online? Does it give them some kind of advantage? I only pause when I am going to pinch hit or go to the bullpen. Thanks cause this is both frustrating and confusing for this old guy.

I'm 62 and since MLB the show 21 came out on xbox I dropped Madden and went to the show. I'm enjoying it! I've learned a lot and improved quite a bit this summer. Looking forward to MLB 22 as I kinda know what to expect as far as saving cards and things but it is sure nice not having to pay money for a good team!

@kwikpoppa_PSN I have always wondered why guys I'm playing are constantly pausing the game.

@jogger171717_PSN please educate this first year player and an old guy to boot. Please give me a pitching lesson on pitching because I get lit up throwing the cutter. This is a serious question. I thought a high and tight cutter was the way to go but they seem to end up well over 400 feet away. Thx for the help.

@FelbergShoot14_MLBTS thanks for the link it has some good information in it. Thanks guys for all the input. I will have Mookie tonight!

First year Xbox player that didn't know what I was doing at the beginning of the game ie: collecting cards and such. So needless to say I am very late to the party. I'm setting here 3 All-Star cards from getting Mookie but I need some stubs to buy some cards. Fastest method?

@DestroyingFlame_MLBTS looking at the PCI afterwards it shows well below the strike zone but who knows. I know one thing they ain't coming back LOL!

I am getting so much better with my pitching but when y'all are hitting sinkers in the dirt 400 feet it is a bit demoralizing to say the least. But I'll keep grinding.

@TheGoaler_PSN thanks a lot that is some really sound advise. I'm gonna try these tips out for sure! Just so you guys know, I'm 62 years young and I couldn't hang with the PinPoint pitching and the PCI hitting so I use pure analog on both. Studying and watching YouTube videos I have finally gotten my pitching settings down to where I am pretty consistent. My misses don't come back online. I'm a decent player on Hall of Fame but Legend is another story. I don't understand which games are on Hall of Fame and which are on Legend online though. My problem is it takes me about 3 innings on Legend to get a rhythm lol. I reckon that's a little late just like I am on the heater!

@RayLewisSB47_PSN Thank you so much. I got him in the starting rotation and will complete shortly. To all you that answered with help about the conquest maps I appreciate it. I will try it out. I'm a first year guy and I'm old so did not collect all those cards in the beginning and now it is paying me back. No Mookie and No Kershaw for me. I was ten points short of getting Davis without the 5K's so I thought I would have to conquer a conquest map to get him. Thanks guys!

I am trying to complete this program so I can get my 20K XP for the 8th inning program but here is my problem. One I am not good enough to do the conquests maps so that is a write off. Two I have the Wade Davis rookie card in my inventory but it will not show up to put in my line up so that I can complete the 5K's and receive the 97 Wade Davis Card and then the 20K XP collection in the 8th inning program. I emailed support but they have not gotten back to me. Thanks for any help I truly appreciate it.

@halfbutt_PSN I can concur with your statement as if I miss it ain't coming back and is usually no less than 400 foot away. I'm on xbox and an older player so I haven't played around with pinpoint yet. I'm using pure analog and I miss by a tick and it is cya later. I have noticed the really good players hit it no matter where you throw it. I was throwing my cutter up and in and getting it crushed and who knew you were supposed to low and outside lol. I'm taking my beatings online and winning a few but it can only help me get a little better.

@collintacoz09_PSN thanks for the advise. I'm on xbox series s and use a monitor with gamer settings but I still have really bad lag while in online games. I hit really well on rookie, veteran, all-star and fairly well on hall of fame. Legend is a different story depends on the pitcher and the lag I receive.

The better players use zone hitting and pci. I on the other hand am not good enough to do that so I use pure analog hitting. I win some games and get my brains beat in sometimes. PCI and PinPoint pitching is the way to go if you are good enough to do it. I'm old and that is too much going on for me lol. There are some great videos on YouTube to help with settings. Hope that helps you a little. As I said I'm just an average player.

I would like to become a decent player(Not Great) for when MLB 22 comes out. My question is this: Is it better to play online and get my brains beat out on hall of fame/legend or would it be better to play the CPU in those levels? Also have a question about a pitching setting. Online most guys I play their pitchers pitch with a really fast pitching motion(Not slide step) Is their a setting for this? I'm on xbox series s. Also I guess only practice will help with this. When I miss my spot the ball ends up at least 400 feet away. I don't expect to be the best or one of the best just want to be half way decent. Thanks guys!
