So get a run and pause the game for an infinite amount of time and an automatic win? How does self inflicted freeze offs make any sense?

This is the only game I’ve ever played that gives you minutes as opposed to seconds before you are kicked for inactivity. It’s actually ridiculous people get 5-10 minutes a game to pause and waste time.

@go4stros25_psn said in Ohtani is a 95+ diamond SDS:

He is a diamond, it's just that hitting attributes don't effect the overall of his live serie. For his live series to be a high diamond he would have to start pitching like degrom.

I think they have it right. Hes a high gold pitcher with a diamond bat.

Yes but that combination for the MORE than complete player he is needs to be a 90+ diamond

As a hitter alone his can hit for power, steal a bag and has a cannon arm.

Yes but being a great hitter doesn't justify an increase to his pitching attributes. what youre missing is that he is a diamond, his overall rating just doesn't reflect it. If hitting attributes effected pitchers overalls then every pitcher in the game would be silver, except ohtani, who would be diamond.

I don't know how else to explain it.

Of course you don’t know how to explain it, you’re comparing him to other baseball players and using the attributes in this game to do so.

He is NOT a starting pitcher.
He is NOT and outfielder.
He is BOTH.
He’s a pitcher that’s entering the HRD on merit, not as a gag for marketing, but as a league leader in the same category players like Bonds and McGuire dominated.

No, that doesn’t make him a better pitcher, it makes him a better BASEBALL player, so his Overall BASEBALL rating…shouldn’t be held back by the fact nobody else can do what this guy is doing.

It’s fairly obvious his card should be interchangeable, you should be able to start him in the OF or on the Mound, and his overall should be a representation of what he does in both positions, not what he does 20% of the time he’s on the field.

I would rather take you seriously but it’s actually not possible anymore.

When next week rolls around and madden drops you won't post anymore right? This is just sad at this point

There’s no limit to the amount of posts I’ll make. This is a bad game and I’m providing a public service. If it keeps one person who is on the fence from playing this POS I’ve done my job.

Nobody on the fence is going to take a post like yours seriously. Not even if you try again 15 minutes late and add more emojis

The Stros stole the pitch
Altuve hit a bomb
Don’t rip his shirt
He has guess pitch turned on

I’m pretty good and bringing in relievers that are “ready and waiting” once the bases have been cleared.

I believe this comes down to FPS. Unless you are actually standing in front of it you will never get a true feel for how fast it actually is, the cameras are playing tricks on you even more so than your confidence level.

Why even wait? Rodney is like the best 7000 stub reliever ever

I still think people are extremely under estimating Xbox users. They’ve picked the superior gaming console for years. They are gamers. They are coming equipped with gaming monitors, sweat rags, and aftermarket controllers that can adjust the sensitivity and dead zone of their PCI.

What I find the most annoying is this is considered “rookie” to SDS. I don’t need to play rookie, but if your gunna call it rookie and it be the easiest setting in the game..... a kid should be able to do it and enjoy it while he does.

I can make WS and finish showdowns 0-15 at a pretty good % but I sat there for 20 minutes before the game gave me 8 total bases with Vlad. This is 20 minutes of not striking out once and making solid contact 4/5 at bats every single game for 20+ games until I finally manage two doubles and a dinger. Imagine some kid trying to do this or even a person who’s eyes are bad, maybe just a bit slow, 90 moments could take MONTHS with how random it plays.

We should be able to choose difficulties and be rewarded for what we do it on. They shouldn’t force good players to play on low difficulties and even worse low players to play on faulty difficulties they pass off as rookie.

Back on baseball topic, Yanks are giving themselves a tough time to clinch a WC berth

I like the Yankees. They are the most storied sports team, plus I love baseball. If they get swept, they don’t belong in the playoffs. I don’t think a team that is in third place has any business in the playoffs either, and that could be how they get in.

Lol great take. The 4th place team in the AL west is less than 2 games game back of every other division leader in the American League. FOURTH not THIRD. They could still miss out even if the Yankees get swept. The white Sox have an entire division with a losing record. Baltimore would probably knock them off lmao.

Mookie was a test to see what % of the community will complete literally anything you put in front of them.

You probably want to get a 4K 120hz monitor. By the time the PS6 comes out, SDS might actually have a game that can play at PS5 specs.

I love 2K, but haven’t ever touched MyTeam. Is it possible to build a competitive team without dropping cash?

Yes and no. Nowhere near this game. But they run a season for their xp. Level 40 is a solid no sell player. Think the first one is a 96 Carmelo Anthony this year. They also give a couple of players on the way.

They have Triple threat which is a 3v3 mode. Have that both offline and online. Offline is cumulative wins for rewards with some okay cards from there. Also after every win you get a chance to open the vault. A couple of really good cards from there last year. Online they throw some players on there with their bouncy ball plinko board that you may have a chance to get. A few good players definitely came from there throughout the year.

They have unlimited which is the standard basketball mode. If it stays the same as last year there’s a good card released there every season but it’s a grind and hard as hell getting the final reward you better be super good for that.

Then they have limited dropping every weekend which is standard basketball but with caps. Like an event. You get a ring each week then like 6 or 7 weeks get a high card and a couple from there were solid last year.

They are supposed to bring back draft mode so we will see what the do with that.

They also had the ascension board if they bring that back but those cards were pretty bad tbh.

But don’t get me wrong they know how to drop fire cards in packs only to sell packs lol. But if you don’t blow mt on packs you can stack nicely. Sniping kind of sucks on it tho.

I would love to get into the 2k my team but contracts always bother me. I hate games that use them. I'm not a huge basketball guy but I enjoyed the games for the most part. Just have a hard time in the my team.

Yeah 2k is falling behind. Nobody else even uses contracts anymore and it’s the most annoying part of any UT mode. I get it though, every game has pack fillers like bat skins or name plates in MLB but 5 game max contacts is about as dumb as forcing me to conquer 8,000 extra territories in conquest. It’s just a complete waste of time.

The main difference though is My Team isn’t the most popular mode in 2k like it is for Madden MLB Fifa and TheShow. So 2k makes it money by completely deleting your progress whenever they feel like it.

Talk about CardinalBird5’ing the entire community lol

Lol yankee fans "but but babe Ruth, but but but in 1920...."

Babe Ruth played 20 years before Jackie Robison broke the color barrier. The talent in the league today is unreal. Might be baseball blasphemy, but I wouldn't be shocked if babe Ruth was just a run of the mill DH in today's game.

Athletes in every sport have gotten bigger, stronger, and faster since we started tracking these things. Why would mlb pitchers be any different? I know there were probably a few guys back them that could probably hit the low 90s, but call me crazy. I just don't think the average pitcher, Whitey Willabe McGroover, fresh off the farm was bringing a 97+ to the plate like the majority of pitchers are today.

Ruth was the best of his time. He has left behind one of, if not the biggest, legacies in professional sports. That's his place. Can't compare players 100 years apart

And yet we have stats that do just that.

Think of how sick Ruth, Cobb, and the early greats would have been if they knew about the benefits of good nutrition, weight training, had video access to every pitcher and all of their at bats, and didn't have to get jobs in the off season?
Also, the health concerns of alcohol and tobacco use, and poor diet.
Remember, weight training was taboo in all sports expect football until the late 80's.
I think those guys would be just fine playing today.

The thing is a lot of principals of modern swing mechanics come from Ruth too, his stance looked weird but a lot of the weight shifting and techniques along with it were decades ahead of its time

Is that why the put the fatso’s waddle in the game? It was just ahead of its time making him only slightly slower than Ohtani.

They don't answer anything about the game but if you think Obama was a b u m omg you're banned. Stay woke sds. See you guys in a month.

You got banned because you took a L from a loading screen.

I just wish I could “play next moment” like in madden. What a time saver, especially when you know, there like a thousand of them.

Lmao these are always fresh Tyler. You still find the idiots that agree wholeheartedly with somebody that hasn’t played an online game in half a decade. And in reality hardly the game itself anymore. What XP level was it you got during a world wide lock last year? I kid bro don’t worry, halfway through Silver during covid is impressive. What did you do for the other 11 months though? Play on the super secret online account or just other games?
