That's what happens when everyone uses the exact same god squad, which is why I dont believe in the God Squad.

I definitely dont think there is one now. Too many combinations. I played a RS game tonight after skipping all of last season and I ran Gregg Maddux out there, not Par 5 deGrom, or Par 5 Ohtani, not Pedro, not Verlander. Hopefully guys will mix it up a bit. I got a bit of anxiety trying to figure out my lineup, then was just like well guess they can get a try next game lol. Nice problem to have.

Absolutely. I just love changing my lineup and pitching combinations around. When I play offline, I have a team for every division for TA. But online when you play against equal or better teams, I want to get creative and not rely on all the obvious suspects. Of course I love Chipper, Vlad Sr., Nolan and every other meta type player. But like you said, there are so many options now. Today I could not decide on a 3B between Chipper, Brett, Ramirez, Schmidt, Bryant or Bregman.

Simulating this year seem like a major time drain compared to years past. Don't know why that is.

Yeah it seems much slower this year.

Also I don’t know why it says you can hit square to skip AI moves, when it doesn’t skip anything.

There’s gotta be a way to make it sim instantly. I don’t need to see every fan ticking on either side until one side gets to zero.

Yeah, the skip moves has been broken forever.

and I completely agree, like it'd be one thing if you could cancel the sim, but since you can't, why watch it tick down one by one.

I hate you. Lol.

I finally got a diamond. Blue lights and a pitcher!!! I need DeGrom and Cole as my last two big diamonds.... ugh reveal... drum roll.... and it's Orel. uggggghgggggghhbhhh

My rotation that’s set is Corbin 5th prestiged Venezuela 5th Lee 2nd and Oswalt 2nd, I have so many starters as a 5th but can’t find one that’s just as good as the others, all my pitchers mentioned above have a sub 2 era, who do you suggest, I have live series collection done and Jackie done, most of TA 2 done! So please help me find a 5th starter someone I might of not tried

I highly highly recommend FS Edward Cabrera, if you have him. He has a sub 1.00 ERA for me and I threw a perfect game with him on HoF earlier. His pitch mix is really good, his stats are good, and his delivery makes the ball feel like it's thrown harder than 99 MPH.

My strategy with him is to rely pretty heavily on the sinker/slider/change and use the fastball/curveball sparingly as a change of pace. As long as you don't throw it down the middle, his sinker is pretty effective anywhere in the zone and that gives you a lot of flexibility with tunneling the slider/change off of it.

If you don't like him, 97 Leiter is amazing if you can afford him. Priester and Crochet from TA are also solid options.

I struggled with him both starts on HOF, I took crochet just now and will buy leiter if the SP on the 3rd inning isn’t someone I would like... thanks!!

I can get down with this. Give me something else to do besides grind the same boring stuff
