I think for me it's Finest Salvador Perez

+1 for Walker. Hornsby, Lux, J Roll, Helton, Sig Aroldis Chapman, Crochet, Dibble

+1 for Pedro, would definitely use him

Same for me in BR an hour ago. That’s rough

Just had it happen to me a minute ago in BR. Hit a gapper with La Stella and then everything froze, it told me I lost connection and lost the game. I’m hard wired?!

@MarinerMatt01 said in 10 Things I hope get fixed in The Show 21:

Overall, I think The Show is the best sports game on the market. The content is great, it’s not to greedy on microtransactions, has decent offline content for those not wishing to play online, and probably plays truer to its sport than any other game. However, there are ten glaring issues that have been plaguing online play for years that I wish were addressed in future versions of the game.

Pitching
Check swings
Home hunting
Shippett
The Sinker
The extra step/pickoffs
Glare/batters eye
MLB stadium lag
All star difficulty
Peer to peer hosting/matchups

Hopefully out of these ten, one or two will be fixed. Once again, I love the game, but man it can be frustrating to run into these issues game after game, especially when you run into an opponent that knows how to exploit them.

Great list! Home hunting, MLB stadium lags and glare on day games at some parks are very bad. I agree with all of them, perhaps except the extra step/pickoff (which I don't find to be a big issue). I'd add a few:
1-First baseman not going to first base on a line drive to RF. Several times the ball was hit hard by a slow runner who could have been thrown out at first but the 1B doesn't go to the bag.
2-Runners casually jogging to first on dropped 3rd strike instead of sprinting.
3-Dashboarding wiping away prestiging stats

Also would be nice to be able to place bulk purchase/sell orders on the market.

I have 99 Soto, 99 Trout and 99 Griffey with Cobb on the bench as pinch hittter/runner/defensive replacement for Soto late game.

Cobb is better than Randy. Better fielder, speed on basepaths, nice swing, better power than attribute shows. Randy's only advantage (maybe) would be against LHP.

People sleep on Walter Johnson. Dude has been HUGE for me this year

Agreed. Just prestiged him last night in the event, can't wait to try the new and improved Big Train later this week!

This event is good and bad. Good because it's a bit more like real baseball instead of a HR derby. Bad for prestiging hitters. In the old timers event more than half the games were at Shippet or Shibe where everybody hit HRs left and right. Right now at PNC in my first 3-4 games so far in the Central event I've had a 1-0 game and a 2-0 game, much closer.

A guinea pig named Oreo

MacKenzie Gore I think, if I remember.

I had my first freeze off this morning. I know, many posters have suffered many freeze offs this year, but I was up 2-0 and cruising in the 3rd inning when the game froze. Waited a few minutes, then figured it wasn't worth wasting hours just to get an event win, so I turned off the game and re-started. Not a huge deal (would be worse in a 12-0 BR run) but still a bit annoying.

oh, of course. Thanks!!

Hi guys,
I was looking at my inventory and found a bunch of other 99 players for which I have 0 copies but yet are listed on the inventory checklist. Guys like Ben Bowden 99, JoJo Romero 99, Yamamoto, Garver, Danny Santana. Curious why those are in there.

boy, seeing as I was the very first casualty of this game, grabbing a land mine and blowing myself to pieces, hope there will be another round later...can't do much worse...

You can add me too!

I had a grand slam by Jimmie Foxx robbed in Showdown...which resulted in a loss on a miniboss and end of my showdown run.

Update: I finally beat it last night. I tried just about every 99 pitchers and failed, so last night I tried Walker Buehler and succeeded. 6 IPs, 9Ks, then the bullpen took over and finished the job. Good luck OP!

I'm missing that one too. Gave up a HR in the 9th inning twice while winning and 10+ Ks already done. It's like the clutch factor kicked in for them and they crushed me. It's really a gut punch when you have to restart from scratch.
