@killerpresence4 said in Should I sell Trea:

You sell Trae now and you’ll never get him again unless you get lucky with a rewind pack. My guess is the rewind packs will be tiered with a base pack and an elite pack from here on out. But it’s your call.

I saw there were 2 rewind packs in the reward path. For the record, I don't play events, so are you saying that these packs are not true choice packs, they give you a few players to choose from similar to the RIB program?

That is correct but there are a whole bunch more choices though so the odds of those elite cards is much lower than with RIB

As much as I agree, I still can't take you serious considering you're a NY Giants fan... Were you dropped on your head as a kid a bunch of times?

basic baseball, work the zone, mix pitches look at his/her PCI placement after each pitch and adapt,

PCI placement is basic baseball? The PCI has nothing to do with baseball.

real baseball is hot and cold zones and swing angles and tendencies, if you haven't Noticed there are literally I pass in the dugout with video of opposing pitchers and hitters to see there "pci" aka swing paths and ECT. and in this case for his question on how to combat contact hitter on a "Baseball Video Game" Pci is Baseball.

No, the PCI is a game construct that does not simulate baseball in any way at all. Hot and cold zones are not real, they are a statistic, and a pci is in no way simulating a 3 dimensional swing path. PCI is a 2D mechanic intended solely to make hitting arcade in a video game. It is not baseball. Similarly, throwing the ball is baseball, but hitting a line with a swing meter is not baseball. It is just the best they can do for a video game. Calling it baseball is absurd. The only baseball in any video game are based on decisions you make, like pitch location, pitch choice, deciding to bunt or not, deciding to steal or not, your lineup, etc.. The closest mechanic to baseball in the game is probably pitch timing when you are batting. At least that feels almost like timing a swing in RL. Moving the PCI to the pitch location does not feel anything like playing.

@ny_giants4_life said in Mauricio defense:

On Mauricio's card he has diamond defense but when you put him at short in game he only gets the gold badge.
Are the hitting and defense badges on a player card different than the actual badge in game?

He is a diamond overall defender because it takes into account his fielding, arm and reaction.
But he doesn’t get a diamond shield in the field unless he has 90 or higher in the fielding attribute specifically. Get him up to PXP Level 2 and he’ll have that diamond shield!

In my office I regularly make shots into the bin with my rolled up foil from my sandwiches.

I shouldn’t think me 3 striking Mike Trout is much different

Are they soft grounders that beat the shift?

he's not very hard to hit

I pulled Geritt Cole from a Team Affinity pack

I pulled him also about an hour ago from a TA pack. Weird.

@dolenz_psn said in Check Swings:

I would think that they would mention it if they did.

We are in a weird area where the really good online players say it is still too easy while the rest of us curse the new system.

the first couple weeks it felt impossible for me to check swing and now I can do it so easily. I dont think its just me getting used to it, it genuinely feels different

That's caused you practiced for a while.....DD people are incapable of doing this.

the patch broke it again

@xxdeathreyxx_psn said in eroding margins in the Market:

Remember that a huge number of people are flipping so a lot of the time you are just selling to other flippers. Volume>>>>>Margin. You might get a better price but another guy just sold 5 while you waited.

This is big too.. Volume, you need volume. I got into a little spiff with a streamer not too long ago who insisted people were breaking the market by doing stupid things... I tried to explain, to no avail, that those mistakes actually created the market. He was pointing out these bigs gaps on cards also and I tried again, unsuccessfully to explain that sometimes those big gaps you see are on cards that don't move, no volume... whats the point in making 20k if in that amount of time you could have made 40 by flipping cards that move...

This is what I finally understood this year. I came here from madden where it's less about volume and more about the profit per card flipping.

This year I figured it out that MLB was about volume mostly. Esp early on. I mean sure there cN be good profit flips but I completed the LS collection last night with 900K in the bank (gotucky and pulled trout and cole) mostly on the back of 200-600 profit flips in massive volume.

Previous years I treated it like madden which didn't work and I'd get frustrated and stop trying. Glad I put in some time to figure it out this year.

Now I can expand beyond flipping into short-term and long-term investments that I hope will pay off.

Lost entire brewers set diamonds and ernie banks reported immediately 3 weeks ago never received a response

@ny_giants4_life said in Felix Hernandez:

How tf does felix have a sinker that touches 98? even during his best years his sinker averaged 93-94 MPH. Why are the pitch speeds on this juiced?

Lol yea that’s video games for you. Thank god SDS hasn’t done OOP players. Have Frank Thomas at Catcher lol

I mean they gave Rivera a slider that he didn’t throw because they know pitching and hitting in the game isn’t accurately represented.

It would be too easy to hit him if they only gave him a cutter lmao

Exactly my point.

If anyone wants to be on the giving end of bloop hits rather than the receiving end, I'm using Korey Lee at catcher right now and he's been a bloop hit machine.

Check your game history. Records got bugged weeks ago. I’m like 24-10 but shows 34-26. My ranked wins under the wins mission are correct with my actual record.

I was just checking this and im in fact 17-2. Hopefully they get this fixed. Any idea on what causes games to not get counted or is it completely up in the air like everything else?

Up in the air. I know the servers have caused people to not receive wins. Fortunately I haven’t had that issue. Sorry to see you have.

just sucks bc now i have to get an extra 4 wins if the total wins rewards is the goal

Yeah it’s sucks but so many other have lost thousands of Stubs, players, XP and showdown wins ( I lost 2). We’ve gotten off easy. I lost 5k stubs and the two showdowns.

This happened to me with putting my guy at catcher (as a secondary position). He couldn’t catch fastballs or nothing. Everything was a passed ball.
