    Just wondering if anyone else thinks alcantara should have had outlier on the changeup? I mean dude has been throwing 93-95 mph changeups all season. To me it would make him a little more nasty even if the speed differential decreases. Kinda like how Duran got the outlier splitter.


  • Topps now?
  • cpefrey77_PSNC cpefrey77_PSN

    A reason we aren’t getting that this week? I missed the stream and any other form of communication as to why we’d not get them this week.


  • Willson Contreras Disrespect…

    Uh, what?

    He gets a lot of money for having @a really nice catching career.” That Durant entitle him to a diamond card, no matter what his fanboys think.

    No one’s entitled to a diamond. I’m just, more or less, stating the disrespect to him. Not many diamond catchers are ever in the game. He could have one for something in his career. Maybe a flashback to an all star year, a topps now moment for when he homered in his first ever at bat and pitch seen, something.


  • Willson Contreras Disrespect…
  • cpefrey77_PSNC cpefrey77_PSN

    And I’m not complaining about the overall system, for the most part it works. And maybe the advanced metrics match up with the last two weeks. I’m just shocked he has never gotten a diamond ever since I started playing this game in 2018.


  • Willson Contreras Disrespect…
  • cpefrey77_PSNC cpefrey77_PSN

    How is will smith getting boosted for the dodgers when Contreras is doing quite a bit better in real hitting his stats than him? And Contreras got dropped on righty contact and lefty power pretty heavily? And he’s never gotten a good diamond card ever in the last 3 years when he’s been an all star a couple times? The disrespects is heavy to him. No way he shouldn’t get something for having a really nice catching career and playing well this year.

    You use zone?

    Yes, and there’s no way I’m switch to timing. I want to have control over a pci, even if my thumb is literally disconnected from my brain.

    I guess I’m not cut out for this….

    You are… but it does take lots and lots of reps if you have the time and energy to do that.

    Offline I can hit anything, and I consider legend difficulty as comparable reps to online all star. But it sure as heck doesn’t feel like it. I instantly lose my eye and can’t lay off anything, and I get extremely antsy since I’ve become used to the AI pitch style.

    Deep breath. Take a few pitches. Don’t become predictable. Take a strike. Patience. You gonna be fine king.

    Trust me I try, but when I take pitches. They’re just painted on the black. I wish I could show the pitch chart of the whole game. Out of 120 pitches, a max 3 came over the middle of the plate. And it was constant 99 on the down and away to both sides of the plate. Was completely no chance to try and hit that pitch for me. I’m just not good. People complain about meatballs being forced into your pitching. I don’t think I ever saw a meatball the whole game. And if I did, I’d predictably miss it since I am hot [censored] anyway. Too bad there’s nothing to do offline the next few days since I’m done with everything.


  • Online hitting…
  • cpefrey77_PSNC cpefrey77_PSN

    Well, I can no longer successfully put a bat on ball online. I am [censored]. I can absolutely dominate with my ballplayer on legend difficulty in road to the show, but can’t get more than 3 measly singles against 84 hunter greene on all star with a fully loaded diamond squad. Complete game shutout with 15 K’s. He still had 1/3 stamina after throwing 120 pitches and could continue to throw every single pitch type on the black. I am so frustrated with myself. Even took 3+ days off from online play and still absolutely sucked when I came back today. My once team average of .350 has plummeted since getting to all star ranked seasons. I guess I’m not cut out for this….


  • Struggles…
  • cpefrey77_PSNC cpefrey77_PSN

    Anyone else struggle with hitting funks when you click x when you want the contact to happen and not when the swing should start??? I struggle mightily with that all the time. And it sucks when you get buried with sinkers and cutters on the black all game long.


  • Seiya Suzuki today?
  • cpefrey77_PSNC cpefrey77_PSN

    If there’s roster updates of some sort every Friday, is today the day we get Seiya Suzukis live series? He’s now appeared in an MLB game so that have his rights. Really hoping so and it’s not a month from now.


  • Spring Training…
  • cpefrey77_PSNC cpefrey77_PSN

    Really wish we could skip the spring training time if ranked seasons. Just not fun to play on veteran difficulty at shippet.


  • CPU actually plays hard now!
  • cpefrey77_PSNC cpefrey77_PSN

    Yeah, I just lost back to back games to the white Sox on veteran. This is very very hard compared to past years.


  • CPU actually plays hard now!
  • cpefrey77_PSNC cpefrey77_PSN

    @schnauzerface said in CPU actually plays hard now!:

    I’ve noticed this too. At first I didn’t know if maybe it’s because it’s a new year and I’m not using all 99 OVR pitchers anymore, or maybe SDS just plugged some holes (last few years, the CPU would chase every heater up and in and flail at every slider 3 feet off the plate). But I think the CPU is just better. I also have noticed the CPU yanks their pitcher earlier rather than letting me score 6 runs in the first before giving him the hook. And I noticed a couple pinch runners in key situations. Let’s go, CPU! Get it, baby!

    Yeah I 100% think that’s part of it. However, I remember mowing the CPU down early last year with 80-84 overall golds. So the CPU being much more realistic and the drop back to non-99 pitchers combine for that change. I like it! Keeps my mind at work even when I’m offline!


  • CPU actually plays hard now!
  • cpefrey77_PSNC cpefrey77_PSN

    Even though it has pissed me off a couple times, this a really good thing! CPU offense is actually good now. Just played back to back (lost the first on a 3 run walk off homer) stressful 3 inning games against the twins on veteran difficulty. Beware if you think you can sleep through those conquest games. It’s much more realistic now. They won’t just flail at the plate like previous years. Overall this is a good thing, just don’t freak out like did when they actually tried! 😀


  • Home run moments!
  • cpefrey77_PSNC cpefrey77_PSN

    Whole game has been really polished in my opinion. However, anyone else struggling to do the home run moments? Wow! All of those are taking forever for me lol


  • Prayer circle!
  • cpefrey77_PSNC cpefrey77_PSN

    Prayer circle for decent servers tonight… 😬


  • Anti-pitch clock?
  • cpefrey77_PSNC cpefrey77_PSN

    I kinda feel like I need one. The time between when your opponent pitches should be like 3-5 secs longer. People are just spamming pitches and firing them in there a billion miles an hour and I don’t even have a chance to breathe, especially in a close game late. I’d like to have a delay before the pitchers wind up of 3-5 seconds after it gives the ball back to the pitcher. Let me think about the situation a bit. I get into swing mode when guys are firing 102 mph fastballs and sinkers all over the corners of the zone and then immediately dropping 80 changeups just off the corner mixed in with an illegal 94 mph slider. Would like a chance to decide how I want to strikeout or roll over to short. I’d probably hate it actually pitching, but good lord, some of these games are lasting 27 minutes. I’m good when I sit down to play a ranked game to grind out 9 over an hours time. That’s ok, then maybe there’s some actual baseball being played in there, rather than a pitching machine on the mound slamming the buttons and plopping each pitch on the black with no time to react.


  • Schwarber monthly awards confirmed!
  • cpefrey77_PSNC cpefrey77_PSN

    Didn’t get a topps now card just the moment. Guaranteed to have a monthly awards card then. Let’s go! What’s your guys overall predictions? I’m saying a 93 or 94. 3rd best card in the program. I have no clue who the rest will be, just don’t think he’ll be the lightning.


  • Schwarber!
  • cpefrey77_PSNC cpefrey77_PSN

    We all know Kyle is getting a TOPPS Now card this Friday. Here’s to hoping SDS doesn’t surprise us having it without a catcher secondary…
    I NEED IT!
