@theu715 said in Pitching is the #1 issue this year!:

Pitch location should absolutely, 100% of the time be user input based. The argument that it would take away the b/9 and control ratings isn't valid. That's up to the game developers to make pitching harder. Make the targets we have to hit smaller/bigger based on b/9. Make the meters move faster/slower based on control. If those aren't options, think outside the box. RNG based pitching is the easy out way of saying b/9 and control matter. On top of that, if they want it to be so RNG based, then things for hitting have to be tweaked. Pitches on the black, have to be called strikes and swings where the PCI isn't touching the ball should always be whiffs, no exceptions. At least doing that shortens some AB's and doesn't give the hitter an excess amount of chances to get a random hanger, and don't even get me started on check swings. No MLB player can check swing at 4 pitches and not get rung up. Home plate or 1b ump is punching that guy out on principle after 2 check swings.

Agreed.

The hitting is fine. I would even say hitting is good besides the BS line outs on a perfect perfect. Fielding is also not bad besides the outfielders taking too long to throw the ball. But pitching takes the cake as the buggiest glaring issue. It should NOT happen that repeated “Good” timed change ups and curves are 95% hangers. This needs to be addressed! Pitching is half the game it can’t be this broken and random

Too bad every curve ball is a hanger

The 98 HRD version is amazing. He literally hits everything for a HR or Double. I’m slugging like 689 with 1.012 OPS with that 98 I love that card it’s hard to take him out for even Trout

3 Lefty (Britton, Miller, Chapman)
4 Righty ( Dibble, Rivera, Ottavino, Smoltz)

I wanna make a joke about schools and Alabama, but you probably wouldn't get it.

Jokes aside, BenQ Zowie RL2455/2755 is probably the best from a price-performance perspective.

Also let’s hear the joke lol

Yea I heard Ben Q Asus or LG are the best. But you think Ben Q is the best one out of all those

I’m moving back to Alabama this week for school and I need to buy a monitor because I am leaving the one I have in NY. What do you guys recommend? What’s the best monitor? Idc about the money too much under 300$ is good

Breaking news. Man brags about dominance in a single game, and then cries foul when he loses the series.

I'm sure in his mind he is trash talking like Mohammad Ali, but in reality he just looks like Gob Bluth doing the chicken dance.

How about we get a series then ? Let’s see how good you are. We can play for any wager u want

Dude, you lost a bet. Now honor it. Go away.

This guy is running from another series. I swept him in 18 and he never swept me in life. Last series was 2-1 and tied in game 4, 4-4 and next thing u know it says “lost connection to opponent” and I get the win and he says he doesn’t know what happened and then ran from the series lol. Trust me if we run it back it’s over for you but keep running dude.

You are simply amazing. Cya later. But like I said a thousand times before, if ever you want to post the $ upfront u have a game!

No problem let’s discuss how to post the money

@Liljayne300 said in Who would you pick from the Rare round?:

I just bought two of the beach ball packs. First pack was base and I took Posada. Then the second pack I hit on and got the rare round. Now I’m a little stuck of who to take? Leaning towards Ryan or Robert, who would you guys take?

i got Ryan

Same he’s been pretty dominant

I ended up going Ryan. I like Biggio and he’s about to be prestiged. Plus this Ryan is great. I dominated with his 92 and this one has outlier and a sinker. Hornsby does look interesting tho

@Buck_Mango said in Is 99 Nolan Ryan worth a shot?:

@IM_BATMAN8765432 said in Is 99 Nolan Ryan worth a shot?:

Have not tried online yet, doing one of the missions to beat the Reds on all-star with him. 4 innings in and he's at 80 pitches with 9 runs given up, 4 were Homer's. I bet he's hard as heck to hit against non cpu lol. Orel pitched a shutout through the 8th against same team same difficulty a few days ago.

dang, I'm guessing you're a much better player than myself so that sounds like a hard pass

Ryan is a beast. I used his 92 all year and dominated. Can’t wait to use this 99 and he has a sinker and I’m pretty sure he has outlier too

@eelnirad_anglo said in Who should I pick from the choice pack?:

They are all over-the-moon good. It's like picking between Megan Fox, Jessica Alba, and Kate Upton. You would enjoy each of them.
The all have special qualities you could spend some hours with.

Rock on my friend.

I’ll take 99 Jessica Alba over the other 2 lol

@Ur_MomsD_ildo said in Who would you pick from the Rare round?:

Ur mom

Good one dude. Did you find out If 5th grade will be online or in person yet?

If you guys had to use one in RF who would it be? The HR derby Judge who has the better bat and gold fielding or the LS Judge with the crazy fielding and arm and pretty good bat ?

@dantheranman said in Who would you pick from the Rare round?:

I just bought Hornsby, he looks really good, just hope the silver fielding isn't too bad. Plus I can use him in the event.

I hear you but I have Biggio not sure if you do but I don’t think Biggio is still a lot better than Hornsby especially Prestige

I have Mantle/Trout done (and all fotf... I'm a completionist addict haha), I doubt he's better... Just gonna use him a bit and I'm expecting to flip for a profit once the pack is gone. Ryan looks fun tho, especially if you need pitching

I’m sorry I worded that like an idiot. I meant Biggio is a lot better than Hornsby, do you agree ?
