honestly should have been switched and done FS first as low diamods then done low 90 FoTF cards stage 2

AL West and Central are easier showdowns if you want to try that. But exchanges are pretty cheap right now so def can be worth it. You can do 40 points worth of exchanges for 16-17k

Hello this post is not meant to be a hate post it's just meant to be feedback.

I am not very good at this game. I own and I admit that, I'm like a 400 or 500 skill level in head to head. If that. I very often struggle to make hits and score runs.

I've accepted that I'm not that good and I still enjoy building a team by doing all the offline content, And then I like to go online occasionally with my team and see if I can get some wins.

The showdown mode broke me. I ended up uninstalling the game because of it.. that game mode is actually quite fun but it's all or nothing nature is extremely frustrating for bad or new players. You can spend an hour on a run and if you don't beat the final boss you get literally nothing. Maybe some XP but that's it.

I really feel like if you make it to the final boss and lose you should still get at least one ticket I mean what's one ticket it's nothing. But it's better than literally nothing... If you win you should get five and if you lose you should get one. Maybe make it so you can't skip to the end(and still get the 1 guaranteed ticket) if you're worried about people just cheesing to get one ticket. But if you actually play through it all beat the middle boss and then lose in the final getting nothing is heartbreaking.

It happened to me four times in a row and that combined with the fact that I suck and lose online all the time I was just like what am I doing with my life why am I playing this game.

I hope this feedback is well received If a change such as this were to be made I will probably reinstall and come back because at least then I could feel like I could grind away and get the characters I want even if I'm bad and I lose to the boss half the time or more.

If thats the case I'll just skip to the final boss and quit out each time and pile up tickets in no time. You see the flaw?

He literally addressed that issue, plus if you charge for entry then you have to pay stubs for that. But OP said make it to where if you skip to final you dont get a ticket. One way that could be done is by getting a ticket from first boss. I think showdown is very easy as is but I have been playing baseball video games for 20 years and the show for at least 6. The issue is it is hard to cater the game to both new and veteran players. I think they do a good job of that but it will never be perfect

Expos Home 1992

Did I miss this uniform or did you mean Washington Road 1992?

You do know the Nationals moved from Montreal right? Like they were the Expos

A lot of tvs now have good input lag. Im about to put 55 inch TCL in my mancave with 11 ms input lag. $268

My team is pretty similar to that, no money spent. I am bronze 60 something so once I hit silver I will probably get the Reggie Jackson or maybe Larkin. Rotation is Oswalt, FOF Ohtani, Maddux, Strasburg

Monitor Im sure is best. But I enjoy playing on a big screen and TCL TVs are really low input lag so thats what I use. With strike zone 2 camera

I’m thinking of a TCL tv which is supposed to have around 14 ms of input lag. I know monitors can get even better, but I’m not sure I’m ready to give up couch gaming...

Thanks for the replies, gents.

I’ve played on a 55 inch TCL for the last 3 years, make World Series regularly. I can vouch for TCL.

Is yours the 4 series, 5, or 6?

Yes this! I just got the 4 series 50 inch for like $240 at walmart. Was turning on fastballs like it was nothing on HOF. 12 ms input lag. I have been playing on TCL since '17 and always make WS

@Psycho__Kinetic said in IV Chipper:

Has been shown as the third boss for the 3rd Inn Program.

Him, Roberts, and Victorino.

Thoughts on these 3?

Worth locking in at least 90K (75 minus the 15 you get with the voucher) to get an early head start?

Averages out to 1K per star.

Or just sell HanRam, Feller, and Carter; then use the stubs in exchangas/Showdown towards TA progress?

Could even use the 90K towards LS Diamonds.

Wouldnt 75 - 15 = 60k????

Play vs friends doesnt count for stats or missions. Because you could just have your friend let you get all of them

Bump til sds responds or fixes this.

First game of new season I won 1-0 in the 10th. Glavine had 20 Ks for me. But I probably wouldve done better had I practiced first, got used to all star again from the event

@cubandoctor21 said in Alfonso Soriano card:

One of those things. Im batting .200 with chipper but every other player in my lineup is between .350-.400 including Soriano. I personally like his swing though

I sucked with chipper for my first 100 or so at bats but i am now hitting .230 with him which is good enough

Im sure it will balance out, Ive probably only had 30 ABs with him so far

Justice makes the most sense I think Furcal also fits the clues but man a 1997 Awards Silver Slugger Justice would be nasty

Very nice call sir

@koufax_yourself said in Tips for making World Series:

Good post. One thing I’ll add: Make sure you are taking mental notes of the pitches being thrown to you. You should be taking lots of pitches at the beginning of the game. Often times you'll be able to find distinct patterns in terms of sequencing and/or specific counts.

Yeah I agree with this. I have faced people on HOF even who literally followed the same 3 pitch pattern, FB, CH, SL every AB. And I would add pick what you struggle with and go into custom practice for it i.e. I go into custom practice and try to time 100mph sinkers on legend vs Chapman or Sixto. Helped me to 22-4 this season

Im with you, at 3-0 even if someone I could likely beat, not worth it. At 9 wins or higher im not quitting just because he got a 1st inning run

@washednd_psn said in HOF enjoyable?:

I guess I’m just getting old and sucking but it seems like 90% of players, if not more, can’t hit sinkers inside. The elite few, good for you guys. You have great vision and can see sinkers out of the hand.

To the normie like myself, we are screwed.

I think the elite few just are good at guessing and timing. There isnt time to read and react on HOF or Legend. I have played 2 games on legend, won both because I timed a few pitches right. Really becomes a guessing game

I had many, many Bryants and Missed, but bought dozens more for a tad over 1500 after he missed, so hopefully he stays hot. I hit very nice on Glasnow.

As the guy above mentioned, it will be very hard for him to go diamond. He is hitting very well against lefties and his stats already reflect that. He is just average against righties. He would need to start hitting righties better to get the upgrade to those stats and go diamond. But if he stays hot, it will likely force SDS hands and they will find a way to make him diamond

Has he really been that bad defensively? That is whats holding him back. Plus his OPS against righties is in line with guys like Juan Soto, Mookie Betts, and Trea Turners total OPS.

Im not sure about his defense, havent looked. And he will likely go diamond soon but just saying why it may be more difficult or take longer
