I do not understand why for these they are even able to pick the same players. It should give an error or not even have them in the pack to select.

It will always be this way with this type of game, same thing happens in 2k MyTeam and the EA Ultimate Team games. They have to buff players that people like to buff their sales.

@opus18642_xbl said in Is there any tips on finishing moments?:

If I get stuck on something, I usually just ask my 12 year old to do it for me. Cost like $5 for 2 moments.

I do not have 1 of those lying around. Maybe it is time I start having children just so I can compete in the show

It's called pitching from the stretch my man. That only usually happens when a hit occurs. There are a select few pitchers who pitch from the stretch only. Most are relievers. I take it you don't know much baseball? That's okay it's just an observation.

Or he is young and learning. You started out cool with advice and it all crumbled when you had to make your "observation." Tool.

I did not take offense to what he said, I do not think he meant it in a negative way, or at least I hope not lol. But yeah I am just starting to get back into baseball, feeling oretty lost but the community on here has been very helpful. Last time I watched baseball Giambi was new to the yankees.

Since a lot of the missions in this game involve using players from every different division and you have different theme missions they should allow to to save a bunch of different lineups.

@creedbratton466_xbl said in Ban question:

I received a 365 day console ban for "uploading an inappropriate image to the Vault". I'm guessing it's for the signs at my stadium that said "eat booty" and "clappin dem cheeks". Lesson learned, don't threaten to clap cheeks.

My question is, will this 365 day ban affect MLB 22 also? Seems like it's essentially a 2 year ban if it does.

I've seen some pretty heinous [censored] from teams/logos get way less punishment which is pretty lame, but I've accepted my fate lol.

I would contact them that is not even remotely bad and it was their fault for not having some kind of censor built. A week tops would be something but a full year, that is absurd. I have seen swastikas in games like this and they get temp bans.

Just to add, I love playing CPU at the Polo Grounds, have yet to hit it out in CF but Joc has come close hitting the Warning track for a GRD. Realmuto took it for a ride in Left Center last night for a GRD too

Any reason you play at polo grounds? Just curious because I play at a very small created stadium so I can hit bombs and get the no doubter animations.

Its the problem with every sports game. They focus on beating out the cards of last release rather than giving us real content. Once you are in the "Age of 99s" there is not much you can do other than start juicing everyone. Personally I was very disappointed that there wasn't team affinity programs throughout the year like last year. I liked the setup they had where you unlock better players throughout the year and could take it at your own pace.

I am new to the franchise. I play mostly diamond dynasty just trying to get better. I am not looking to go undefeated online, however I do sometimes lose games in conquest on rookie to the cpu. I do not have great discipline I often swing at lots of balls, however even when I swing at a decent pitch I am always popping it out or choping it right to an infielder. Any tips or good youtubers to watch for tips?

@lornee56_psn said in New player looking for tips.:

My hitting improved with repetition, turning the pci off and switching to strike zone 3. Most people would think that my settings sound more difficult to use, but I went from a 167 hitter to a 296 hitter. I would also say only use hitters that you do better with and do not play who has a higher rating. I have used every gold and diamond in the game, and some of my best hitters are low diamonds and high golds.

This last part I think is great advice which I should know coming from Madden ultimate team Hockey ultinate team and the 2k myteam franchise. Certain players outplay or underplay their ratings. Since this is my first game of the show franchise i do not have that knowledge yet of who is worth using so i often go by their ratings strictly. I can tell you I am hitting about .96 with Trout (not even a joke) and .150ish with Acuna. However with Judge and Bryce Harper I am hovering high .300 to low .400. Granted I play CPU so its not impressive, but I for some reason can not hit with the top tier guys.

I strictly play vs cpu at the moment I am not good enough to compete online. I have noticed that once the opponent gets a hit your pitcher speeds up his animation for the rest of that side. I know it sounds ridiculous but I have limited tine to play this game usually and shaving off a second every pitch adds up over time. Is there a way to get this to happen all the time or then getting a hit is the only way?

You can always intentionally walk the first batter and your pitcher will be in the stretch as long as someone is on base. The downside is your opponent has a runner on base. As other people mentioned you can find a pitcher that throws from the stretch instead of a windup. I do not recommend slide stepping every pitch. You will throw some meatballs.

Thanks for the advice. I am pretty happy with my pitching staff right now so I will probably just try the walk method and if it starts screwing me over I will just make do with thr long windups.

Nah was big into baseball as a kid but was too young I guess to understand the ins and outs. Recently trying to get back into it but with work and my more enjoyed sports running at the same time it is hard to follow tightly with my schedule.

Thank you by the way. Wasn't trying to come off as an idiot and glad you understood. If I was I wouldn't have went in to the explanation. Yankee fan? Good stuff. I've been a diehard since 85. Giambi years were some good years to watch the Yankees. Welcome to Show Nation by the way.

Yep, grew up a Yankee fan from my grandpa he was die hard, would remove his hat just driving past Yankee stadium. Used to watch back when Hideki was there Bernie Sheffield fun times, kind of just fell off watching as I got older, my grandpa passed away 2 years ago so I have been trying to follow it again. Always been on xbox so I never had access to this game, however fron playing this it makes getting back into baseball easier. Now if I watch a game I can be like [censored] Trout hits much better than when I use him lol.

Thanks for all the tips guys. Definitely a helpful community. 1 day I will be comfortable enough to play online and then its game on boys.

Yeah I am lost here lol, every time I think I decide on my go to a new player starts killing it.

I thought I had my outfield set in stone then I made the mistake of putting Milestone Bichette in my lineup to try and he has hit nuke after nuke.

@worldrevolver said in I hate to complain because I really enjoy this game:

Was playing the Orioles last night doing Team Affinity and Matt Harvey's delivery was hiccuping right after it left his hand. It would dip, then hiccup and appear above the previous point. Made it just about impossible to time.

That is what I have been doing farming the orioles for team affinity missions and he will stutter as hes doing the animation and then the ball shoots out slows down and then just changes location.

@dannydevito8997_xbl said in Possible exploit for the HRD moment:

If you are having trouble it doesn't seem to be 5 actual HRs you need but 5 points scored off of HRs. I had 2 men on base and smacked a HR and it gave me 3 points towards the moment. So if you can get guys on base do not advance them home if you can help it.

Runs....

You have the runs? Go to the bathroom.

@therainmaker29_xbl said in How much of a grind is Acuna?:

Before I lock Cespedes, is it easy to just grind Ronald instead?

You only need the 30 TA3 cards and then 10 moments and some stat missions. None of it is difficult or very long. Depends where you are at on the TA3 grind.
