@painpa_psn said in I had one of the biggest pitcher's duels you can imagine today:

Is your name jonny daman or jonny da man?

Da man but to be fair, that was a long time ago haha

I don't believe you can, it's just random.
It seems to be every off day in the minors but not in the majors.

Yeah every once in a while you get that opponent who makes you watch there homeruns is the only time I use it hahah

@zfree1122_psn said in Does anyone use their created player as a SP?:

I have a RP finished and im like 80% of the way through a starter, haven't used it online but I really want to swap out one pitch but dont want to start over with leveling it out. Ugh.

Also the reliever seems incredibly cheesy, 118k/9 with like 90 stam and 5 pitches.

Oh I didn't even think of a RP, that's interesting

You don't need to purchase a single Topps now player FYI. Unless you already sold them earlier

Ppl Can’t open packs when we the servers crash every night. And they do pretend maintenance every morning 😂

I think adding 30 seconds per inning is stupid, 3 or 4 minutes is overkill to start with. And I 100% agree, because with main pause you save time AND save your time bank

I don't swing at all and score a walk more often than you'd think

lol nice. My 10 yr old nephew keeps him in the bullpen even though we have amazing relievers lol and uses him to [censored] people off.

Vision is completely useless this year imo. Sometime I even swing and miss with the ball all the way in the outer vision circle with good timing. Makes no sense

@WillTheThrill_7 said in Is anyone else early on cutters all the time?:

That’s the purpose of the pitch.

A cutter comes in looking like a fastball, meaning you want to time it was a fastball, but it is in reality slower

I understand that but im saying that they speed up my bad more than a fastball at the same speed. So for whatever reason I'll consistently be early on 95 mph cutters but late on 95 mph 4 seamers/2 seamers/sinkers even if they come from the same pitcher. My issue is not with the speed of the pitch being slower causing me to be early, it's just that I swing earlier on cutters than I would on a fastball of the exact same speed.

To answer other comments, cutters outside are worse than inside for me but I'm early on both. I also know people complain about sinkers but the only pitch I find easier to hit consistently than sinkers are hanging sliders so I love facing sinkerballers

Yeah I gotcha, my bad - let me elaborate.

If you read the pitch as a fastball, you’ll think it’s farther in (righty on righty) than it really is. So you’ll be timing your swing for an inside 95mph, but in reality you’ll be getting an outside 95mph. The timing difference is very minuscule, but it’s there. This usually leads to being early and rolling over

I’m trying it

@halfbutt said in Do people still think fielding is an issue or is it fine now?:

IMO, even aside from the weird wall stuff and balls bonking off chests and heads, there are clearly animations programmed into the game that just shouldn’t be there.

I’m talking about the ones where MLB position players wave their arms as the ground ball scoots into the outfield. The “fielding matters” concept is great but even the poorest MLB players can still make routine plays.

Some of the defensive stuff is just bad fundamental fielding where the infielder tries to backhand stab at something haphazardly when there is plenty of time to move his feet and get in front of it.

The other one that bugs me is where the outfielder pulls up and awkwardly plays the ball on a hop when he clearly has time to get there and make a catch.

To quote Joey Gallo, “We’re not Little Leaguers.”

Just my .02 cents.

That's the one animation that really drives me crazy. Like i know im not getting to the ball so i just trying to cut it off instead animation takes over and makes him reach for it, which lets a single turn to a double, double turn into triple. Same thing for infield, there are balls i could possibly get to if the came would juat let me keep running towards. Instead animations take over and he is reaching for the ball.

@slipkid69 said in Can someone provide an honest and detailed explanation for lag in MLB parks?:

It’s not lag but actually drops in the frame rates at times.

This^

If you play a game at Minute Maid then immediately play at shippett, you’ll be able to tell the difference pretty easily.

I play Forbes at night in the rain. I also pick Capital Hill, and the one with the ferris wheel.

I've never been the type of player that can cover the entire plate at all times but I guess I have a pretty good eye and my approach at the plate is good enough that I can hang with people that are better at reacting and placing the PCI consistently than I am

The sliders have to be different. I will smash the ball in events then get into RS and it’s good okay every time I make contact my last 3 RS games 2-1,1-0,1-0. My last 4 events games all had more than 4 runs scored. Ridiculous that the difficulty changes. I wish this game had some consistent. Super hard to hit a moving target:
