It’s absolutely real. I played two RS last night. First game I lost in the 8th. Next game I go up early. Opponent can’t even make contact. He’s flailing at everything. I’m up 2-0 all game. I’m smacking good good and good okays to the warning track probably 5 times. In my head I’m thinking ‘I’m gonna get screwed in the 8th’.
8th inning there is a pop fly. Cutch is in center. I’m running for a normal routine ball. Cutch STOPS! HE ACTUALLY STOPPED AND STEPPED TO THE SIDE AND THE BALL DROPPED RIGHT BESIDE ME ALMOST TWO SECONDS LATER. The game actually made me miss a pop fly. It took control of my player and legit moved him out of the way.
Next pitch low and away 2 seamer just of the plate. Bomb to left center. I’m livid. Bottom 8 I strike out first at bat cuz I’m still fuming. Betts comes up. Good good belt high. Warning track out. Good okay fly out to end the inning.
Top of the ninth, I bring in Chapman. Slider away. He flails. Sinker low inside. BLASTED to dead center and he takes the lead. I lose 3-2.
This guy had ONE HIT through 7 innings and could barely make contact. All of a sudden not only does he make contact but it goes a looooong way when he does. Meanwhile I’ve been consistently smacking the ball all over the place and can’t buy a run.
Between the P2W [censored] on DD and the scripting, I’m about done. It’s not even fun because it feels like no matter what I do I’m always playing from behind. Even when I’m winning I’m always terrified of the late innings.
