I played with him on BR, it was nice because the 42 series version of him was mad dissapointing. Griffey was arguably one of the best players of the modern generation. He definitely needs a card that showcases how good he really was. In the 90's he was basically like the MJ of the MLB. One of the smoothest swings I've ever seen and had web gems daily in center. He needs better representation in this game.

So here's my perspective, I used to have Play Station for the early years of the show and loved RTTS. My brother ended up taking the Play Station and I ended up with Xbox and hadn't played a legit baseball game since MVP. When I was able to get The show on xbox this year, nostalgia kicked in and it brought me back to when I was playing Tony LaRussa on PC, MLBPA on Genesis, Ken Griffey on N64 and then the All-Star & MVP baseball series later on, where I'd create myself and live out my dream of playing CF for the yanks. The first couple months of the show I did nothing but play RTTS, I was never big on online gaming and deadset that I was just going to play for my own enjoyment. After a couple of season of RTTS though I got bored, I started playing on beginner and rookie and just put up ridiculous stats with my player and started craving a challenge. Once I opened up DD and messed with the CPU missions enough to get my timing and patience down I started messing around playing Battle Royale and Ranked. I've been hooked since. Playing online is obviously a bit different experience and players exploit the game in ways that baseball wouldn't really be played but once you become good enough at hitting and pitching where you can get over those annoyances there's nothing better. For every inning program I go through waves of just CPU missions and then back to events or BR. I think it's the best way to keep the game from getting stale. Just my two cents but the game is meant for personal enjoyment. Nobody should be knocking anyone on their preferred play style, I'm just giving perspective to those who only play offline, once you mess around and play a few ranked or event games your perspective may change.

Is there anyway to get all 3 of each of the innings bosses without buying the other two in the community market?

It's been Mattingly for me for a while, I havent been using him since all the all-star cards came out. Always came through with a solid frozen rope or bomb when I needed it,. Might have to bring him back to my lineup.

Dmiamond dynasty

• Possible end locations for pitches using pinpoint pitching increased by 30%

• Foul balls reduced by 80% and will no longer be able to foul off pitches bouncing in the dirt or off the screen.

• contact swing is completely removed

• baserunners will whipe the [censored] off their ears from having their heads lodged up their asses.

• no more, way late, off target, out of the zone, bullshiit bloop singles to the opposite field.

• pitch speeds will be turned down, so an Adderall prescription will no longer be needed to hit.

• people who freeze the game will be publicly shamed in town Square. Along with bunt cheesers, bunt dancers, the people who jump up and down before catching a fly ball, and the people who still try to r2 even tho it's been patched.

• 99 ohtani is now at LF with a SP secondary that will allow him to pitch ever 5 games.

lmao, literally dependent on the addy's to hit in this game...it's a health issue now

the banner also has the wrong date

Your right on the algorithm though, they need to do a better job at skill matching between opponents. They have the ability to provide dynamic difficulty vs the cpu but it should adjust based on your play more consistently. You have a few good games and it jumps to more difficult opponents. Doesn't seem like you ever come back down if you're struggling at that level.

@i-iydroponics said in Online Games Are Rarely Decided By Skill:

My favorite is when you can tell the idiot on the other side has zero baseball knowledge. His first batter, first pitch swinging, out. His second batter, forst pitch swinging, out. His third batter, now anybody with even an inkling of baseball knowledge knows that if the 3rd guy up that inning swings at the first pitch, hes on the way to triple a, or the manager is fired. Its just baseball fundamental common sense. But in the show, his 3rd batter swings at the first pitch, hits a dribbler down 3rd base line for a single (game logic), then proceeds to jack oppo homer on first pitch with 4th batter!!!! This game is devoid of all sense, and the algorithm should be blown up and put out to pasture.

I wouldn't say those people have zero knowledge of baseball, When I first started playing the show I would swing at everything and it was more a result of impatience and pressuring to get the timing. I knew that I should take a pitch or two or wait for something in my zone but couldn't help myself at first. Part of the problem is I think a lot of people playing RTTS or vs CPU when they start throw it on beginner mode to pad their stats and then have to face real pitching when they play DD.

Finally got back around to updating the count. Bumping this thread. Let's keep the votes going!

Actually the Toad would be Hideki Irabu. Steinbrenner called him a big fat toad.

You got any 90's/00's Yanks you want to vote on to add to the tally. I'm campaigning hard for Bernie

All votes including the other thread are completely up to date. Considering marking a date where we knock off anyone who hasn't received more than one vote since the list is getting long but let me know your thoughts.

Bumping thread, the remainder of the votes will be tallied shortly.

Does anyone know if there is a reason why you can't pre-set lienups for LH or RH pitchers? Or at least in the pre game load screen know who your opponent is using to pitch. This is a serious flaw because you essentially waste a roster spot if you have to make a switch right away.
