Me: Perfect-Perfect = out, Good-Good = Out, Okay-Good =Out, Just late-Good= Out, Good-Good= Hit
Him: Late-Okay=Hit, Okay-Okay= HR, Okay-Good=Hit, Perfect-Perfect= Hit, Okay-Okay= Out
Playing BR, I noted these hits. You can't tell me the game is skill based when its completely randomized by the script.
Yeah I lost.
Theres no way the game wasnt forcing a loss here.
My opponent gets a broken bat bloop hit with one out. Then he hits a soft routine grounder to Utley and it eats him up. Then he hits a homerun.
Over the next 3 innings I square up on 4 balls that die at the track. Perfect-perfect liners going straight to outfielders.
He bloops one to right, steals 2nd, then another broken bat hit scores him.
I'm just done I quit. GeT bEtTeR
I should have loaded up on Weiters and Sandoval. Their prices already jumped back up.
@formallyforearms said in How much do you value bullpen arms?:
How does everyone feel about having a couple junk throwers in their pen so it's not all straight gas? I've got Franco, and Gagne for a different look than Wagner/McGee and Dibble/Henke. Fingers is the best of both worlds though.
Those junk pitchers are great when used at the right time. Francos screwball, for example, can take a few at bats to pick up. By then you've got yourself through an inning late in the game.
That's been the case for me, anyway.

This game is more for skilled players and exposes the weak. So let the weak fall
The game breaks down to mathematical equations and dice rolls, and takes control away from players. This is far from a skill based game.

The mathematical equations are unavoidable. Even if outcomes are 100% input, the maths is required.
The dice rolls are up for debate however.
True, you cant avoid the mathematical equations aspect, but the dice rolls aren't debateable. Pitching is a game of pain the tail on the donkey, the player does not have any reasonable expectation of where the ball will end up.
Hitting is random. One game in slapping good-goods and even prefects right at defenders, the next I'm hitting okay's in the gaps and winning. It's not player control.
What a ranked debut I just had with Hershiser. 8 shut out innings with a solo blast to left field off Kluber.
I have RS games that are wide open, high scoring slug fests. Then I'll play a 2-1 game where nobody can hit.
I understand that's how baseball goes, but its obvious there is some sort of algorithm deciding outcomes which is a no-no for a video game.
I lost 5k, no regrets for a 1:4 chance at making 20k
I'm a much bigger NFL fan, but you can't even call Madden a football game, because it doesn't play like football if Tres Way is the best QB in the game and nobody passes. It's sort of a rugby/football hybrid game with an NFL skin.
I've been playing baseball games since I was a little kid in the 90s, never threw a perfect game before. I had to share it somewhere with someone who would understand the fun, so here it is.
The guy had a good team and some high value cards so it wasnt a meaningless game either. Kluber the mlb the show goat! Good in every edition of the game.
I don't get it. I play a game and everything I hit is a bomb until the other guy quits. Then I hop in to another game, I'm still seeing the ball well and making good swings and it feels like an excruciating uphill battle for every base. Then I go in to the next game and hit everything.
I didn't play 19, I know there was a collection for a good Honus card, but what was it exactly? Did it involve Team Affinity rewards? If so, wouldn't TA cards remain valuable if such a collection was released?
All sports games started scripting competitive games years ago. In the 00s the best players could routinely blow out a bad player. Now there is some level of scripting to nerf scores. It's terrible. Just let us play.
Just hit a double, got credited with a single. Missed by 1 run. At this point SDS should just give me Victorino for free.
90% of the time the game is fun. 10% of the time the game feels scripted and outcomes are arbitrary. When the 10% happens at the wrong time it can ruin the game.
I took a break and accepted that the game isn't perfect and stopped taking it seriously. I still get mad when my opponent dinks and dunks and I'm slapping hard line outs. Its whatever. I still like it a lot more than Madden and 2k currently.
Rollins is going to be one of the best cards in the game.
I'm no market expert, and I haven't played DD since 17, but with the summer TAs just being released, and the next scheduled for fall, I feel like most of these good cards will be in a lot of good lineups until fall time.
The only true end game cards out right now are probably Mantle, Thames, Springer, Kluber, and Chapman. Maybe a few others.
I just blew all my stubs and I'm down to 10k. I don't have as much time to grind as some people, so I see I'm behind a lot of players here. Still, I've blown stubs in the past DDs so I'm wondering what the market experts think about the value I'm holding. People here have talked me out of buying cards like the Griffey, Kemp, and Dustin May when their prices were much higher. I also need another SP as I only have 3 good (great) ones.
Bench. 92 Giambi, 91 Cobb, 90 Cargo, 90 Reynolds, 92 LeMahieu
Pen - 99 Mo, 92 Rodney, 93 Gagne, 93 Eck, 87 Neris, 87 Morton, 85 Aroldis
I either press triangle and nothing happens, or the window doesnt come up at all. It got so bad that my opponent knew I wasn't throwing that he was stealing with 50 speed guys.
This happening to anyone else?
