@iBonafideScrub_ said in Good PCI/Good Swing problems:
Good PCI placement and good swings mean nothing in this game. I find myself losing games to people who swing early(yellow) to pitches down and away and still hit the ball out of the park but I get perfect/perfect and fly out to the warning track or ground out to the SS. This is beyond frustrating
Please watch this, because i share your frustation

One of my biggest gripes on the game. Trying to put my outfielder in position to make a good throw and. Intead getting a lazy animation in an urgent situation.
As of now the game decides when you lock on and from there im guessing based on when it locked and your position decides the animation. Instead ,, Next year please have an option for manual locks, so I as the user can decide what position I'd like my fielder to lock and gear up for a possible play.just like you do for throwing accuracy. Would help the gameplay alot better for a lot of people I believe
I still think Canoe is best 2b in game maybe next ro sandberg but Sandberg plays great at 3rd. Power and prettu good defense. As some one said great swing. He's one of the few cards that actually play to their stats. Don't think I've ever not hit a HR on a perfect swing with him. He can be hit and miss at times but if you hit it's usually gone
@killumall1976 said in Please fix this game:
Do you devs play this game or even bother to REALLY test your so called improvements? This game is broken in so many areas. Pitching is terrible point blank. If you have a perfect release on the spot you choose in the dirt or a strike on the black it should go there period..... not when the cpu decides. Base runners are a joke. They just stop or decide to run back to the base on a ball they ckearly can and should score on. I love this game but just like madden i will stop buying this game. There are alot of people who feel like I do.We are fed up with broken games when we are paying full price for this game and all the micro transactions in this game.
I understand your frustration but we are waaaay past this point in this years cycle. See the game for what it is and enjoy to the best you can. On a side note lot of great ps4. releases have dropped and a couple more are coming so spread out your gaming and this game will become less frustrating to play.
Seeing Tim Tebow on the "All Time" Mets. I know, I get it. They use the best cards available. I just found it funny and the most out of place thing so far.
Kluber. Complete game shut out
@allmustfall16 said in Why would SDS have a stub sale now?:
Why have a stub sale when you just had one? Why have a stub sale with a stale market? The market was already too high, now it’s stupid.
First time all year, I’ve sort of become disinterested in this game. Prices don’t make sense.
Release something new, this is lame. Usually I’ll support you guys through anything, I can’t here.
Profits must be down. People might not be as active is my guess as to why to stub sales would be so close together like this.
@KILLERPRESENCE4 said in Hitting input:
Just curious how many are doing this. As many of you know to be competitive in this game you need to become comfortable using the zone hitting input. Most people however, use buttons to initiate the swing. I decided to try to use right analog to initiate my swing and left analog to move my pci. I’m actually finding that my timing is much better doing this than using the buttons. At first I thought my coordination would be an issue but it never was an issue. How many of you have tried this. If not I highly recommend trying this. Let me know what you guys think or tell me about your experiences using this particular input.
Gonna give it a try
@mubby_33 said in Under the radar cards that you never see anyone use:
LS Mookie Betts. I guess his swing just works for me.
Loved that card in early game, especially at second he was a beast in the infield
FS Jorge Mateo
@dubdubcfc said in PCI placement?:
The pci will slightly jump up or down at contact. Early = up, Late = down. Make sense?
I thought thats what you meant just wanted to make sure. Where'd you here this?

I don’t mean this ina bad way, but do people really want to watch someone open MLB packs? I guess I’m not 11-13, who must be the target demographic to watch something like this?
I watched someone open packs one time, because they were doing baseball/MLB the show trivia every time they pulled a diamond.
I won some pretty decent incentives. So that’s why I did it lol
The disrespect, I tell yah, todays theme here is "people that can't read or remember names"
Lol
I used to never quit games even if i was getting blown out. I usually used those games to experiment. But lately if the game is getting too frustrating or im not feeling I just quit. The other day I quit a tie game in the 7th or 8th just because of how frustrating it was. So why spend my time doing something Im obviously not enjoying. When i can do something I will.

Man, i feel really bad for Griffey. The kid just can't stay healthy
Wait, you’re saying Griffey is the most overrated player in baseball history?
Please explain.
People forget the fact he played from 2001-2010. He had a wonderful peak, but people act like he was at the same level as Babe Ruth and Ted Williams, when in reality his second half was a non hall-of-fame compiler tier career. For reference, from 1989-1999(The first 11 years of his 22 year career), he was an absolute monster. These 11 years are what made him rightfully a first ballot Hall of Famers. But from 2000-2010(the last 11 years), he was merely above average. He turned into an injury riddled player who could hit a bomb or two when healthy. This is the part of his career that takes him out of the inner circle, and takes him out of the comparisons with the Tippy Top greats, though a lot of people still rank him there due to rose tinted nostalgia goggles
So many things wrong with this its laughable. Yes Griffey did have 3 years in cincy where he played less than 80 games. But his first two years 62 total HRs. His last 3 years at ages 35, 36 and 37. 35 Hr 92 rbi, 27 hr 72 rbi, 30 hr 92 rbi.pretty good for a guy who could "just get a HR or two. Griffey had a very good 15 years as a pro and 7 not so good because of injury and old age. BLASPHEMY
1989-1999:
.299/.380/.569/.948, 149 OPS+, 320 2B, 398 HR, 70.9 bWAR(68.4 fWAR)
2000-2010:
.262/.355/.493/.848, 117 OPS+, 204 2B, 232 HR, 12.9 bWAR(9.1 fWAR)
He was a significantly worse player in the second half of his career. His bat dropped off pretty [censored] hard, but his defense and baserunning cratered in those yearsThose are also including averages from his last 3 years at 38,39,40 which were obviously his worst years be far. When healthy in cincy Griffey was still a great hitter, was he as good as he was in his prime. No but not far off. Nobody is a good as they were once they are past their prime. Thats why its called their prime. He still hit about 270 and had about the same ops. Look at pujols at the same age still cranking HRs but batting below 250. He is the guy you're talking about when you say still good for a HR or two.
"at about the same OPS"
a 100 point difference in OPS is massive. And removing 2008-2010, his numbers don't get significantly better
.273/.357/.517/874, 122 OPS+. Even then, I am a firm believer that when you look at a career, you look at all of it. I don't disregard Babe Ruth's year with the Braves, or when Willie Mays played for the Mets. Those years happened and we have to take them just as much as we have to take the good ones
Obp is what i meant. But fine dude if you wanna believe Griffey is overrated be my guess

You are using RBI's to determine a players worth?
Let me note, that I do think Griffey had some good years with the Reds, I just don't think you framed the argument very well.
Is putting up runs now a bad thing. Is it not a players job to drive in runs?Could've I have went into more detail. Point was Even in his later year while battling through injuries Griffey still put Pretty Great Numbers and was more than just a guy good for a hr or two
I never said it was a bad thing in general, BUT it isn't a good measure of determining how good or bad a player is because it largely has to do with forces outside their control (I.E. other batters getting on base)
To put it in another context, if he had less runners on base when batting, but still got the same hits, would he be a worse player or the same? The answer is obviously the same because he can't control that.
I get what youre saying.
