NVM I'm an idiot

Oh nice, that's very helpful for verifying these claims lol

@eatyum said in "I Just Lost To 'The Biggest' Scrub" Story:

Why do people when they write these retellings always feel the need to embellish it?

Case in point "The game allowed me to yield only 1 run off 7 hits, along with 3 of 4 perfect/perfect going for outs up to that point"

There was only one perfect/perfect in the game and it was by Stan Musial who got a hit.

The rest of the story seems totally plausible and you weren't lying about your opponent striking out that much, so why embellish that one little detail?

I thought the game log only lists p/p that went for hits, not the ones that go for outs (genuinely asking, not trying to be a smart [censored])

I have the same issue, I just switched to button accuracy recently and never had the issue before when I just used buttons. Figure I must be doing something wrong...

To clarify, the meter shows up but wayyy too late. I have Weiters back there and was routinely throwing guys out before I switched to button accuracy

@nflman2033 said in Self-Assessment - PCI placement skills:

I wanna lower my RS grade to like D or F. I bought Kontrol Freeks, trying to get used to them, actually saw immediate improvement in pitching, i see better movement of PCI, but i just flat out look like a spaz with wear i put the PCI. It has to be that i am right handed and dont have the same dexterity in my left thumb that i have in my right.

I've had this thought too, and I think you're right. I thought about changing the button mapping so I could move the PCI w the right stick and swing w L1 or L2 or something

Another thing I wish you could do is customize the starting point of the PCI. Like I would probably start it up and in or low and middle if it were possible. I don't really like holding the PCI anywhere other than middle middle because it shakes/vibrates so much and is distracting

Probably a D, but I just started taking zone seriously this year. It's insanely hard which makes all the YouTubers w perfect reactions even more annoying to watch lol

When I'm "on" I can hit fastballs but breaking stuff in the lower 3rd still gets me. I can't ever be on both a fastball and changeup even if I know what's coming 100%

Another thing is that I'm constantly tinkering w the hitting settings. Right now I'm trying out the flick instead of buttons to hit. Also trying to turn the PCI off. Who knows man, just throwing [censored] against the wall

But I enjoy slowly improving so it's fun

I officially give @Moldythugnasty a solid B+ in his PCI placement. I just played him online, and he blasted anything I threw in the zone. I wish I'd read his post BEFORE we played. I would have focused more on the lower 3rd...

If he broke double digits in runs, I would have given him an "A". But he "only" scored 9. So... room for improvement

Thank you man, that's very nice

And yep, I basically only hit the high heat you threw and a couple hangers that came right to the middle. Plus couple walks thrown in

Actually you got hosed by the quick counts more than me I would say...

Actually I'm pretty sure it was this guy: https://www.reddit.com/r/MLBTheShow/comments/ic9xsl/how_to_deal_with_noncompletion/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Go to the bottom and read his last comment

You get the full amount.

This is why you should never sell golds for less than 1111, and diamonds for less than 5555

Yeah I was overconfident the first time and didn't try too hard on the moments. Went in 15-7 and lost 15-15

That 102 really snuck up on me lol. That dumb slow windup followed by 102 is tough. Also the patient approach doesn't really work because this mf just pounds the zone

Doing my 2nd run now and plan to take the moments much more seriously

I had to switch to directional and spam power swing

I did Topps Now moments first because that was the last thing I needed for MVP trout. Working thru the shark map now

Just an awesome day (and year) of content. Kudos SDS!

Any beach ball packs yet?

Find the pitchers release point. You have to see the ball out of the hand as early as possible in order to decide whether it's a ball or a strike

Instead of looking at the pitcher, try looking at the spot on the batters eye where the pitch seems to come out of. And when I say look, I mean stare at it.

@Jeviduty said in Some people can't handle losing:

Lol. His fault for using May...card is a$$.

Also looks like he had just used May in a game prior where he got the win by quit. So he probably used May at 50% energy or less...

Thinking about spending $1200 on this game and getting skinned alive by my wife

Go on....

They did a secret update in the past few days. Now if either you or your opponent quits the starters stamina goes down by 40-50% (not sure the exact amount since they haven't officially announced this)

I guess they're trying to force people to use all 5 starters

I'm in the same boat. Bought Robert to try out, and he's fun, but Harper is an instant add for me.

Honestly I might hold him til the packs go off the market, hopefully price will rise a bit

That’s what I was thinking too. Also with Ruth coming in, I’d rather have Beli over Robert so it seems he’s the odd man out. Robert is nice in CF tho, he tracks down EVERYTHING

He's awesome no doubt. But I have Eric Davis who is great in CF as well and Robert is more expensive

I think best time to sell will be day before 7th inning bosses are announced. Unless they randomly drop the elite round for beach ball pack on Tuesday or something because then these guys will tank. But I'll take the risk and hold on and hope he rises to 100k or so
