Good post. One thing I’ll add: Make sure you are taking mental notes of the pitches being thrown to you. You should be taking lots of pitches at the beginning of the game. Often times you'll be able to find distinct patterns in terms of sequencing and/or specific counts.

In a show down last night, I gapped one with runners on 2nd and 3rd. I spam L1 and both runners take off. Then inexplicably, the runner on his way home turns around and heads back to third. The cpu then commences to throw to third and outs both runners. It looked like something from a blooper reel.

Its not confusing. If the game had you lock your pitcher and lineup BEFORE you are matched up to an opponent, then people would not be able to scroll through their line up to do the home field detection cheese. I like the idea!

I understand why he did it…But man it’s gonna be rough online until SDS fixes all those cheats he outlined. Yikes.

replaying homers does not freeze the game. just because it happened once after a replay does not mean anything honestly. 9 times out of 10 I cant even replay a HR if I want to, But when I am able to replay a HR its caused a total of 0 freezes.

You can replay home-runs, but this year the opponent can cancel the animation by pressing x. The freeze glitch is performed when the pitching ream replays the home-run at certain stadiums. Its real.

You are both correct. During a livestream, they stated difficulty would be based on the higher ranked players division. This was a change from previous years. However, they never updated the handbook and it still states that mixed division games will be played at all star difficulty.

Btw, you can access the handbook in game, through one of the sub menus. I forgot which one at the moment.

Probably left an exhibition game on all night and waited for the inning program to drop.

Just stopping in to watch @KILLERPRESENCE4 eat crow.

He won’t. Same guy was arguing with me about TA4 and how it was “virtually certain” that it would come after the season and it would be finest cards.

Yes, please make moments fun, or get rid of them

I’d much rather do moments than single-game missions with Daniel Nava

Most of those missions in 18 were not that bad. There were some that were terrible. But I find all moments mind numbingly boring. Its just not a fun mode. To each their own.

I actually hit a home run with him ‍️

What does that emjoi mean pointing up? I always see it and have no idea what it means.

Pretty sure that's the universal sign for Male or did you mean the shrug emoji?. They Actually say what they are if you put your mouse on them.

Yeah the male symbol thing. Is that the equivalent to saying I’m alpha or something?

No lol it just puts it automatically, I don’t really know why, just does.

Its “ I dont know man”

This is unacceptable. You should get what you paid for.

@beanball0571_psn said in Hall of Fame event is horrible.:

Here is the problem with outlier. Jacob degrom has outlier, but he only averaged throwing 7 pitches per game 100 plus. Now in the game you can hammer 102 for 9 innings. They should be able to hit 102 according to irl stats. But as we know SDS doesn’t use irl stats when it’s applied to pitching

And Brusdar hardly touches 100, but IRL hes constantly at 102. Go figure

I can't really help you with your 2nd 2 questions, but the most underrated pitcher of the 21st century IMO is either Zack Greinke or CC Sabathia

Underrated? Those pitchers were both aces and commanded multi year high AV contracts. There has been hall of fame discussions on baseball tonight for both of those pitchers! I would say someone like Rich Hill or Tim Hudson would better fit the bill.

Greinke deserves discussion for HOF, as I can see him going either way. The fact their is a HOF discussion for Sabathia is why he is underrated. There are 5 members of the 3000 strikeout club that aren't in the HOF:Clemens and Schilling(obvious reasons why they aren't in), Verlander and Scherzer(who are generally considered locks to be in the HOF), and Sabathia, who people seem to be on the fence about. I think he should be a lock to make it in the HOF. Greinke just doesn't get the same respect as Verlander, Scherzer, Kershaw do. I think he deserves to be in discussion with those 3 more often

I get your point. We have different perspectives. If you win a Cy Young, I cant possibly say thats underated.

Yes, there was a guaranteed live series diamond in this month’s SR pack. Nice pull with the Trout though!
