So I finished beating every stronghold on the US map today, but I still had 243 territories left to go. I timed it and it took me 46 minutes and 7 seconds of strictly simulating games to beat the map. It has to be one of the most mind numbing experiences I've had playing the show. I love this game and conquest is fun, but the setup seriously needs an update. It hasn't been changed in ages and its a nightmare to sim games for that long.
can somebody recommend an eye doctor? i could swear this guy just recommended replacing a free 99 switch hitter with some dude that costs 400k and is batting .159
like im as big of a dodgers fan as youll find but i cant think of a quicker way to lose RS games
i mustve read this wrong, please someone recommend an eye doctor quick i think im blind or dyslexic
I honestly would put Realmuto higher haha, nice to see him getting some love nonetheless though. His swing is really nice in my opinion and I love the fact that he can basically completely shut down any stealing
if u stopped using contact swing those balls would probably be home runs
no, not at all
I think the simplest solution is for SDS to add the option to require confirmation when buying and selling in the market and then give the user the ability to toggle it on/off. Then everybody's happy.

I enjoyed using the 84 Reggie Jackson and was excited to see the recently released 95.
However, rather than looking like an upgrade to the earlier version, this looks like a different player altogether. The 84 is 20 pts quicker and is stronger against lefties. The 95 also has slightly lower arm strength, stealing and vision, but has better hitting against righties.
Can I realistically expect the 95 to play similarly to the 84? Or would the 2 versions of the same player be as different on the field as they appear to be on the stat sheet?
Thanks!
I think he should play pretty similarly. The swing/stance won't change and all of his hitting stats are a major upgrade over the 84. I highly doubt the two less arm strength will be a noticeable difference. The decrease in speed will hurt his range in the outfield a little bit, but nobody starts Reggie Jackson for his defense and hitting the bronze reaction and fielding threshold should help alleviate the lack of speed issue to a degree. I think the 95 is very much an upgrade over the 84.

Should I start or bench chipper. He’s only hitting .400 for me online and just wondering if I am missing out by keeping him in my lineup just because he’s a 99.
A player of your skill? Only hitting .400? Send him to the bench ASAP. I'd recommend 92 Mike Schmidt instead. He has a really slow swing, so you won't have to worry about being very early on those 102 MPH Chapman fastballs on legend like you always are. You should be able to hit plenty of perfect timing HRs with him and bat at least .600
did we really spend 14 pages talking about this?????? wow
its pretty simple:
a. its a feature in the game its not cheating;
b. dont be a [censored] and hold R2 down every single pitch;
c. dont get upset when someone does it occasionally to check things like stamina/pitch confidence/etc or stop u from quick pitching.
like this game is some people's life basically, especially some of the streamers. it takes a lot practice and time to get that good
i also think they dont stream constantly simply because its tiring and exhausting. it also might prevent them from completely focusing if its a tough game
chipper alone is worth it imo, soriano is also good

did bellinger take anyone's spot in your lineup?
now my OF is
bellinger LF
turner CF
vlad sr RFTurner in CF? Which Turner?
justin turner obviously
i know this sounds crazy but him in CF is exactly like frank thomas at 1B, terrible defense rating but you literally cant tell and he makes tons of amazing plays, plus his swing is probably the best in the game
11, 12.....
OK so I just picked Hal and used him in an RS game, I also was facing Hal for the first time, so quick blurb on what I think of him if that'll help anyone
It was a WC game, my opponent had a 15-8 record coming in, so they're decent competition and it was AS difficulty. I won 7-1 and it went the full nine. five of my runs were off his newhouser, he scored zero on mine
Hal's velocity is great, he throws really hard (FB can hit 100) and the difference between his FB and change/any offspeed really is great. It makes it hard to hit against him and I struck out eight times in seven innings against him which is above average for me, I basically just sat on offspeed or FB the entire game, couldn't hit both simultaneously. His h9 and k9 are also good. I had a few hits die on the track because of them
His control was what I was worried about. On the 4seam it wasn't an issue for me, especially once I got his confidence up in the third he located it really well considering the game state and compared to other pitchers. His change was also fairly easy to locate. The curve was impossible to hit your spots with though, I gave up throwing it after the 3rd and basically just used the slider in its place since they both have similar movement. I didn't use the 2seam.
His delivery is so-so imo, not bad, but not glitchy either. The only other thing that caught my eye was stamina. My opponent threw 110 pitches with him and was still good on energy, I only used 80 in 7 innings and he had over half his bar when I pulled him. With the way it's setup this year, I think his crazy stamina gives you a legitimate opportunity to abuse the system and throw him often if you manage it well which could be a big advantage. It's really hard for me to compare him having only seen an inning of Kluber this year and having not used the others, but after that game I'm happy with my pick. He's not broken like Kershaw was last year or anything (granted with the current meta it's hard for any pitcher to dominate), but he's a very good pitcher and checks all the boxes for me
why is this thread in diamond dynasty and not off topic
man i guess the american education system really is broken--people dont even know how to read

No, there's way better outfield options.
I'm very bored. I feel like there's very little to work towards rn. The only good high end cards rn are obtained by collections or through the xp path. It felt like there were other ways to get good cards last year and that just isn't the case this time. It makes the game boring once you grind out a few hundred levels and finish the collections. The only way to improve my team at this point is grinding out 99 Thames or JRam from prestige and that's just not worth it imo. Especially now that XP gains are reduced.
