I've been saying forever that binding a circular control (left analog) absolute to a rectangle that changes in size for every hitter is a horrendously inconsistent and terrible control.

At minimum the PCI needs to be free moving like a cursor rather than by binding current position of stick to rectangle.

The PCI concept needs to be scratched, in actuality the only attribute that matters for good game players is power, because dead center PCI is dead center, all contact/vision does is allow for margin of error. And that's not how hitting ability should work for hitters. Guys like Jeff McNeil are flat out better average hitters and better at making consistent contact compared to guys like Gallo and that needs to be built in the game moreso than just margin of error.

Love your ideas as the start of a new direction.

I use him, but I run a 5 man rotation, so every 5 games.

Mantle is a beast, I but the bullet and bought Trout yesterday. He was the last player I needed in live series. I’ve only played a couple games with him so far but I can tell he’s gonna be a monster. But, Yelich is still my MVP lol, can’t get out with that guy.

Instead of Face of the Franchise. It should be called better card for the best player on a horrible team (Boyd, Mancini, Merrifeild), Prospect that hasn't entirely lived up to full potential (Guerrero, Tatis) or Slightly improved version of the third or fourth best guy on the team.

Seriously, is there a single FOTF card that represents that actual face of the franchise. Maybe WhiteSox is the legit FOTF.

You do understand there FOUR stages to face of the franchise right? Ever considered that as the stages get released it would just be a better version of a better player on the team? Stage 2 of the Yankees might be Chapman then Stage 3 Stanton, etc.

Then maybe they should have called it Heart and Soul or Up and Comer or Key Player. With the actual best card being the FOG. Just a thought.

Okay, but Carter wasn’t even that good by traditional statistics. He was a stat packer. He hit .259 in his career and only led the league once in a major stat (RBI’s). He was a below average defender, and yeah he could hit home runs, but again, he never led the league in that stat. The only reason he accumulated the stats he did was because he avoided injuries and was consistently put in a lineup spot that allowed him to drive in so many runs.

Guess those managers who put him in those lineup spots didn't know much about baseball...because...uh..WAR and stuff. Lol

I’m not saying he wasn’t a good hitter. But he had a low average, very low OBP, and the reason he drove in those runs is because the people in front of him could get on base, therefore, he had many more opportunities to drive them in.

The reason his managers hit him in middle of the order spots is because they based their lineups off the same ideas you’re suggesting.

So these managers put someone with a very low average and OBP in the spot where they wanted someone who would drive in the runners that were on base?

Man, these guys had no idea how baseball works!

Lucky for them it worked out so well!

Where are you gonna put the guys who hit for power more than for average? At the top of the order? There’s a reason the .250 guys with 25 home runs hit in the middle of the order, and it’s not because they’re just “pretty good”.

Gl man! He’s a beast this year. Gave him an arm too

Online gaming requires a ridiculously low amount of broadband

yes, but a ridiculous low amount of broadband when EVERYONE is using it along with EVERY other device at a greater than average amount. Its NOT JUST internet gaming. Its ALL the broadband that is being sucked up.

His cutter is nasty, if you can locate it, he's good. If you miss your spot though, like any pitcher this year so far, it's probably gonna go right down the middle and get crushed.

@phillydave35 said in Comparing OPS (serious data only):

I can’t really base it off their stats, because I use players online as well as conquest and offline occasionally to get next tier of team affinities. I go by more of recent production and defense. Also try to ensure lineup diversity, which is usually 2 switch hitters and 3 each of left/right.
Currently is:
1B Belli,
2B CAP Chase Utley, I cheated and made him a switch hitter
3B Chipper
SS Honus
C Realmuto
LF Griffey
CF Mays
RF Cargo excellent defensively for me and I like his swing.

I think conquest is valid. I would love to hear the OPS. When I went straight OPS I had a lefty heavy lineup. But even against MadBum the dudes were raking
