Pinpoint Pitching with Felix, Degrom, and Cabrera is just too overpowered. Its just not fun to hit anymore...Would much rather lose 7-6 than 2-1...

Just said he played a 15 inning game on Legend with 5 HITS!!!! 5 HITS!!!! If he cant hit, then how the hell are we supposed to?!?! hahaha

I played on legend last night and every sinker looked like it was "Instant Transmission" from the pitchers hand to the top corner of the strike zone

I tell myself I do but then I'll play a few games of it and then want to slap someones grandma that's how frustrating it is. But then I don't play for a few hours and I get the itch again. Rinse and repeat.

What makes it lame is every game is the same. Who can keep their opponent from hitting the fewest homeruns. Because there is no other way people score besides HRs. LITERALLY. No other way. 90% of the games I play are like 1-0, 2-1, 2-0... The default sliders for the game are bad so you see a lot of things like outfielders being able to run from a mile away to get under a ball and catch it. Line drives off the bat arent realistic at all. It looks like when you hit a golf ball with a 9 iron.

But yeah my biggest gripe is the lack of diversity when it comes to plays on offense. All you see is. Strikeout. HR. Slowest hit ball ever for infield single. Pop-out to catcher that only went 7 feet in the air. Or line drive directly at an OF.

just spot on here

I can’t think of a better way to say it. We’re only in the “5th inning” and I’m completely bored and disappointed. I can’t get myself to play h2h because hoping to at least get a hit in a 9 inning game holds no appeal. I have Mookie, Mariano, Shohei, Jackie, Chipper and 1.7 million in stubs and I’m wondering why I even wasted my time. It doesn’t matter what hitter you have if you can’t hit you can’t hit and I can’t hit. This game is not fun it’s work, my first and last year buying this game, I’m in my 40s I’m getting too old to waste my time on trash like this, I wonder how many others feel the same way. I just wish someone would bring “Baseball Stars” from Nintendo back, I’m tempted to buy an old Nintendo just to have a fun experience with a baseball game. Baseball Simulator 1000 was more fun than this game. It looks great and there’s tons of content but there is zero fun factor with this game.

The older I get the more difficult it is to keep up with the speed of some games. This one in particular. I’m still ok but years ago I was World Series every season... blah.. blah. I think the game is fine just I’m getting worse at a game that requires fast recognition and controller precision. Video games are a young mans sport.

dude I feel the exact same way this year lol

As a kid who was mesmerized by McGwire, Bonds, and Griffey, I want to have fun and hit bombs. Would much rather win OR LOSE 10-8 instead of winning or losing 2-1. This is a video game!

Yeah, but did he bother to look at the screen? Or did he spend the entire game gazing lovingly at himself in a mirror and trying hard to think about baseball?

hahaha well said. he is pretty narcissistic. Mcgunski is usually my go to as far as elite pitchers but hes been busy lately lol so ive been stuck with Kyle

You sir are a saint

Are we not going to see our stats again this year the website? I would really like to seem online. I know last year was the first year that didn't work. Any chance we get a fix?

That was the epitome of my games last night...

Check Swing Held Up, Check Swing Held Up, Early Okay Homerun...

Struggling to find a good hitting 2B. He seems like a pretty good value with 119 Contact and 115 Vision. Anybody have any reviews on him?

Love to hear that. I definitely will try him out then. For only 40k, you really cant beat that value for a 2B

What in the absolute trickery is going on here? How is that possible. Just hit gold and I play a ton.

Where you guys rated at in XP?

im at level five elite. its possible

What is elite level. Prestige level?

My thoughts exactly. Is Elite after Prestige??

The man has been dropping Bombs. In years past, I have never hit well with him. Needed a lefty infielder, so I gave him a shot. Did not disappoint. Honestly its the Opposite Field Bombs that have impressed me the most!

I kind of miss it a little bit. Never really got anything great but at least there was some excitement when there was a diamond on there...

Still beats FIFA by a gazillion miles.

My brother and I were talking about this on Sunday morning:

FIFA: turn in 11 85+ rated cards to receive this 1 88 ovr LB.
Me: But I keep those 11 cards right...like I do not lose them.
FIFA: No, you loose them.
Me: But why?
FIFA: Thats futball bay-bay!

MLB TS: Collect those 40 cards and earn this really awesome card
Me: But I really don't want to lose my Diamond Series players in that collection.
MLB TS: You don't lose them, but you can't sell them
Me: ...
MLB TS: Like you keep them...
Me: ...
MLB TS; Oh, you're a FUT player, my bad, this must be a jarring experience for you. Here just hit a few XBH, we'll give you this 89 diamond level 1B.

I actually skipped last inning to play fifa because the content was so good. Probably 30 Team of the season cards and 3 icons in like 2 weeks. No reason to lie, Fifa content has never been so good.

I love playing FIFA but EA is just an absolute joke, bunch of corrupt people in there

Just not on HOF please and thank you

HOF is the best difficulty to play on

Not this past event it wasnt

i loved it

You’re probably in the minority here. I play events so that I don’t have to sweat. That’s what RS is for. I hopped in after/while drinking, and quickly lost my first 4.

HOF + drinking = bad time

All star + drinking = great time

Now when I get home from work and roll up my sleeves, I’ll dig into HOF/legend and get to work.

dude you are my hero for saying this. i would love to keep bumping this.

put him in Center, hasnt made an error yet and gets to everything in the outfield, trust me hes in been out in center for about 50 games now

HOF is indeed on crack. In previous years, I was always a .290-.300 hitter. This year I legitimately haven't cracked .250 in any season so far.
