I'm probably going to be a lot busier this summer and don't think I'll have the time (or patience) to grind out tons of moments for free cards.
If I were to get the credit card out, about how much would it cost to maintain a competitive DD team throughout a six-month period? I figure the number is probably quite high - rough estimates are fine.
Glad it's not just me. Even if I manage to sneak in a lead with 99/99 Turner, he's still getting a bad jump and thrown out about 50% of the time. It used to be that you could exploit players who don't pay any attention to runners, but that's not the case now.
102 mph up and in is impossible to hit and everyone knows it. Even worse if it has movement like DeGrom's. Then there are the 100 mph up and in sinkers.
This game is just so much more fun earlier on in the life cycle when you don't have to deal with this kind of stuff every game. I wish there was more of an incentive to play events because the lineup/rotation restrictions make the game a lot more fun.

Are they going to go back and digitially change the logos and names on the jerseys in Major League? Voice over any mention of "Indians" in the movie? Yikes!
No. Because it's a movie from 1989 and not a baseball team playing in the present.
You guys are making my day with these terrible attempts at humor. It's like they're so unfunny that they're funny.

If you think about it, anyone can be offended by any name. The Indians isn’t that far off from Yankees if you think about it (Civil War).
What’s next, someone will be offended by the Blue Jays cause one broke their bird feeder? We’re at that point.
How about the White Sox? I’m offended! Found a hole in one of mine…
I know you think you're being clever, but comparing people being offended over a type of bird or sock to a group of historically oppressed people who were killed in mass ... is not clever.
I honestly think they should have left it at Cleveland Baseball Club and just put Cleveland across the jersey. When you really think about it, most team nicknames are kind of dumb.
Everyone calling the name change cancel culture in this thread clearly doesn't even understand the definition of cancel culture. This isn't some TV host having to resign over making an absurd comment.
The Indians changing their name has been coming for a long, long time, just like the Redskins. This isn't a university using the name of a tribe with permission and respecting the name. It's a little different when your entire team history is built around a funny caricature of an actual group of oppressed people.
All that being said, Guardians is a terrible replacement.
Have been using offset zoom for a while now. Probably not what World Series players use but I enjoy it since you can actually see the hitter.

I completed it in about 32 games. Half the games I lost were just getting out played. The other half were ones where I would hit it to the warning track dead center with the bases loaded. You can do it in within that timeline.
Not going to lie, I tried to pitch to get people to hit it dead center. Was an interesting change of strategy lol.
Yep. High fastball city.
Where a 460 foot bomb is an out and a 260 foot pop up is a home run!
Why, oh why, is this garbage stadium locked for the event.
The home runs are only part of the problem. I was playing an event game the other day where my opponent would use contact swing and foul off every off-speed pitch in the dirt or slider that's far inside. Then once I actually put the ball in the zone it was an easy hit. This shouldn't be the case - it can't just be a tennis racket bailout every time you fall behind in the count. There's no skill involved.
Glad it's supposedly going to be addressed because this has gone on for too long.
I think we see a FS at some point this season.

Remember the sportsmanship rating or whatever it was so you would know if your opponent plays like a tool or disconnects a lot
This game used to have that? Please bring it back. And ping indicators.
I can't hit in this event to save my life even though it's gold pitchers. When I do get some offense it's on a 270 foot homer.

Bro ferreal I cannot stand people that do that like what is the point. So people not understand this is a game meant to be enjoyed. It's like some people get off on taking the fun out of it for others it's so ridiculous.
They must be super young the ones who do that!. Like you said, what's the point? Isn't the goal to have a good enjoyable game? The R2ers yea it's silly but I can deal with it usually. Those players are usually not that good so they resort to the cheese. The bunt dancers though? That I can't tolerate at all. I have 0 patience for those guys! The R2ers tend not to be good but those bunt dancers have not a lick of skill. I'm not talking about laying down bunts, I bunt too but in a baseball context not just dropping bunts with him, her, her and him!
I think it's usually kids who do it. It's just annoying - but they are generally terrible at the game and extremely predictable. You know when they're swinging and when they're taking. You know when they're stealing and when they're just bluffing a runner taking a lead. They go fastball, off-speed, fastball on repeat...
Feel like everyone has a different opinion on this, so let's hear them.
For me, I'll only replay a home run if my opponent has been overly toxic (i.e. bunt dancing, insisting on taking a lead with every runner) all game and I hit a big one late to go ahead. It has to be pretty egregious, though.
Love when I get into a game and it becomes immediately clear that I'm facing a bunt dancer. They tend to be predictable and terrible at the game and yes, it is very enjoyable beating up on them.
