@Loyal-Wiglaf_XBL Yeah two things I hope we never see again. Out of Position series and that snapshot series or whatever it was from last year. Out of position just for being what it was and snapshot for having the worst card art ever.

Just when I thought I was out......they pull me back in!

I could see Treinen getting one.

@TrainerMatt21_PSN there will be an extreme moment where you have to execute the Iron Lotus

The biggest issue is the timing windows varying between games depending on the connection with your opponent. The really good to elite players can adjust pretty quickly. Someone like myself, not so much.

You were going for flawless on hall of fame?

@frankieciv608_PSN said in Certain facts have to be wrong:

Is it really possible Royce Lewis is the fastest to 10 home runs ever in a season in Twins History meanwhile it was June?

Killebrew definitely hit 10 homers before mid June and Puckett definitely did as well cause I remember one season where he was the league leader into May and he had double digit homeruns

I'm glad you asked this question before me because I was thinking the same thing when I first saw that on his lighting card.

I hope they keep up with this style of content through the rest of the game cycle and not just a one big weekend because of NCAA. Of course not expecting this every week but I like the direction.

@rageincage007_XBL I have hoped for that ever since they started the parallel system.

@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL just whenever you load into one of those games where someone has a batters eye that will blind you, pause the game, hit that xbox button on the middle of the controller then go to

1. Settings
2. Accessibility
3. Color filters
4. Click on correction type and choose Grayscale

This will basically give you a black and white screen. Back in 22 I think it was, if you played at laughing mountain during the day, the ball got released from the pitcher with basically just the sky as a backdrop and it was nearly impossible to pick up the ball. Using this I could see the ball perfect when people would use that stadium and time of day. It only takes like 10-15 seconds to go through the process of changing it so you'll have plenty of time on your pause timer and going to the settings on the xbox doesn't disconnect you from online play so don't worry about getting disconnected from your game when you do it. To be honest, I used to play with that setting even when playing at normal stadiums because I felt like I could see the ball better, but it did get old playing on a black and white screen every single game.

@Crimson_Monk_PSN I'm not sure about on Playstation, but I know on Xbox there is a setting where you can change the color scale to basically a black and white screen and that will help in some situations like that. It usually helps anytime that there is a batters eye where the sun because of the time of day is blinding, but still doesn't help in situations like Wrigley and Fenway when the pitcher's arm slot has him releasing the ball with the crowd being the backdrop for when the ball is released.

My pitching has been so awful and all over the place this year I really don't know if I even have a favorite pitch mix anymore. I do know what two pitches I struggle most hitting against are cutters and sliders in on my hands from opposite hand pitchers. Throw me 4 seams or sinkers inside from same side pitchers or cutters and sliders away from same side pitchers then I can usually crush those. However, any cutter, slider, or even a low and in curveball from an opposite handed pitcher and I'll swing at all of them because for some reason I have no concept of what's gonna be a strike or a ball....unless it's WAY inside...and I'm going to be late on every swing. It's almost to the point that I'll run an all righty lineup in hopes of getting right handed pitching the entire game.

What's crazy is how fast some of those guys can dashboard. Like some that are a low line drive home run that comes off the bat like a rocket, they are a tad to slow on the dashboard and the homerun ends up registering. However, I had someone a week or so ago and I got the lost connection message in what seemed like a split second after the ball left the bat. Fastest one I've seen yet.

@BJDUBBYAH_PSN I was extremely tired one night and just wanted to do a couple exchanges back in part 3 of TA 1 and accidentally exchanged Arenado and of course there is no way to get a cornerstone captain back after that. Luckily it was toward the end of season one when I wasn't using the captain anymore anyways but I will most definitely be aware of that this season.

This forum is absolutely wild sometimes. I love it!

It's not just you. I was watching a stream about an hour ago and the guy got disconnected 2-3 times in the 30 mins I had it on before work.

Hyper Sale as well for me

The most memorable one for me was that Ray Durham faces of the franchise or whatever the series was back in 22. I was just ok to average hitting with him but people using him had to be hitting somewhere in the .800 range against me. I could not get him out no matter what I tried. This year is probably Yordan's LS card that kills me most.

I feel like these are the only types of its these ever gets off me, cheap little Texas leaguers...or when there seems to be absolutely zero urgency from the fielder. I've seen them pull up on a ball they should and would have 100% gotten to...which lends credence to the "predetermined hit" nonsense

I was in a BR game yesterday and had Willie Mays in CF and he pulled up WAY early on what should have been a routine out for any CF in the game. Luckily it ended up not mattering but it was infuriating at the time.

If you think people are complaining now, wait until they get to use 97-99s for a couple weeks and then have to go back to using 87-90s again when the second power creep starts. I'm actually kind of looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time. I know there is going to be the 4 wild card spots, but I would almost bet everyone starts out with 1 and then earns another one with every 300k or so points on the reward path. While there isn't a whole lot else going on in the game at the moment, I'm trying to parallel up as much as I can any of the high diamond core live series cards I have because they'll definitely be needed at the start of season 2.
