I never used R2 last year. I will use it this year if I have runners on base and I'm getting quick pitched. I should have a little time at least think about controlling my runners between pitches. You really don't even notice a big delay when hitting, just feel more normal and less like you are facing a super human pitcher.

He didn’t play 1b and you’re mad he doesn’t have a secondary position as 1B? Weird flex.

You don't understand how to use the phrase "weird flex".

Calling someone out for using term "weird flex" wrong .....Weird Flex bro!

Man, if there was ever a year to go the no money spent grind, this was the spanking year! Face of the franchise alone can keep you busy during the extra time we have on our hands and can stack your team for free! Unfortunately, instead of the No money spent route, I went The "Too much money spent" direction.......#packaddiction

If you have a costco membership you can save more and buy a digital $100 PSN card for $80. The code is sent almost instantly to your email.

I can live with the opening day bugs, and the constant patches to improve hitting, pitching, etc. I still enjoy this game and love playing and collecting the cards for DD. But what I just can't understand is, you have a baseball game.....no, you have THE baseball game and out fielders are still dropping routine fly balls and flat out avoiding them like they are coated in the corona virus!! In two game of BR yesterday, I had four very catchable balls dropped or completely missed. NOT OKAY!!

I try to focus my draft on the best hitters to face the final boss. I always draft the best hitter and only draft a pitcher if forced to. The mini bosses should be fairly doable. Don't forget to modify your squad before boss showdowns. If you have a strong bench bat, move your pitcher up in the batting order before the challenge since you'll be pinch hitting for them anyway. Put your best hitters in regardless of position. Only select hitting perks. Avoid pitching perks and anything that requires 2 outs or 7th inning or later. The best perks I've found for the bosses are "Rattled" More fielding errors with runners is scoring position and the one with contact boost while trailing. (since your always trailing against the bosses) Be patient. Try to take two strikes the first time thru you line up or just sit fat fast ball early in the count.

If you hit a moon shot and replay your HR, fine.
If you're up by 5 or down by 5 and replay your HR, then you are in your mid 40's living in your Mom's basement smelling like 237 day old milk.

Play other modes that are fun for you and buy Eddie with stubs if it’s that unbearable.

all other modes pretty much suck as well lol

Sounds like you need to try the new game mode and Event that's out. Its called "Play a different game that you like and that you don't think sucks" (Brought to you by Good Okay gaming.)

This event is sooooo stacked for hitting "MOON SHOTS" Its fine to bring in a common LH pitcher to face someone like Dietrich who doesn't it LH's nearly as well as RH's. A little strategy is fine. I don't think I would ever complain about facing a common pitcher on a regular basis no matter their throwing hand......

Come on, Cecil Fielder for the Tigers!!! Please please please please

I sent in a ticket about my event and BR wins not increasing under cumulative but haven’t heard anything yet. By my count I should have about 7 more event wins and 5 more BR wins. Anyone else getting this?

With the inning programs being XP driven instead of earning stars, does anyone know if you'll still be able to earn XP towards the 1st inning program once it ends? For example, if you complete one of the 1st inning conquest maps after the program has ended, will that XP go towards the 1st inning or the current inning you're on.

Same thing happened to me. I used Angels in my lineup to complete a daily mission as well. The notification was coming up during the game indicating I was working towards the innings. When the game finished I didn't have Street or show any progress towards the daily goal. I played again right away (because I love to punish myself) and it did work the 2nd time.

I agree to the point that a perfect perfect should 99.9% of the time be a hit. I can see a PP fly ball to deep center or a robbed HR being an our. But if I hit a PP for a line out or foul ball that doesn't make any sense. Perfect should mean PERFECT

Have you watched or played baseball before? Perfectly hit balls constantly get caught. That’s baseball. A perfect perfect line out totally makes sense. It happens all the time in real life. 99.9% is honestly a crazy expectation. If anything, pp flyballs are the only ones that should almost guarantee a hit because these are major leaguers with power so a pp flyball should almost always mean a homerun unless at polo grounds or a hitter with extremely low power. We do get perfect results most of the time on pp’s. That perfect result being an extremely hard hit ball. As for the pp foul balls, I agree with you there.

Thank you. I've actually never seen or heard of real baseball. Is that a thing? LMAO!!! I understand that well hit high ELO balls can go right to a fielder for a lineout. But I ask, if a ball is hit right to someone, is that in fact a perfect swing? I would argue that it was a near perfect swing. Perfect should mean PERFECT..... IMO

You’re joking about Foxx, right?

Some people love him, some cant bat with him, im in the 2nd group

Its not like hes awful, but doesnt feel like a 99 overall. I prefer others at his eligible positions.

Best Hitter Prest Mickey Mantle
Worst Hitter 99 Jimmy Fox
Best Pitcher 99 Casey Mize
Worst Pitcher 99 Greg Maddux

Looooove Niko!!! He is a poor man's Adalberto Mondesi. Love getting him in BR too

Come on, Cecil Fielder for the Tigers!!! Please please please please

CECIL FIELDER! Fielder hit 51 home runs with 132 RBIs in 1990. On the last day of the Tigers' season at Yankee Stadium, Fielder hit his 50th and 51st home runs to become the 11th player in MLB history and only the second in the previous 25 years to reach the 50-HR plateau. Could do some fun moments and have a fun power hitting card similar to Frank Thomas from last year.
