    Stealing
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    I steal any time vs anyone.

    Your best jump will be achieved when your baserunner gets lower in his jump.

    As you are taking the lead and pressing the steal button do not release RT until
    Your runner gets lower.

    There is a moment where he straightens out just after you take the lead. Then he begins to squat and settle in.

    That is the time where u want to release RT

    I have over 100 steals with J Pierre and out only 13 times.

    Similar with my p4 Trey Turner.

    If both steal and speed are over 85 you can run on almost any combo of pitcher/catcher.

    But I have stunk w S Marte.

    Too slow.

    The reward T Gwynn is also very good.

    Your point about Kirk and the inside edge is interesting and I wonder if those are Juan’s outs?


  • This game is the worse gaming experience that has ever been developed.
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    I disagree entirely.

    I play DD online and my biggest flaw is my large TV and Slow internet.

    When I play vs the CPU on Legend with all aids off it is a purely enjoyable game.

    I use meter pitching with no curser or strikezone

    I use zone hitting w only onside diamonds.

    I like auto fielding and throwing most.
    The game runs and is visually stunning.

    Is it perfect… not close.

    It would be better if only made for PS5. Period.
    But that makes not nearly enough money.

    So i am willing to live with the flaws as i enjoy what i have.

    I see many of the complaints but just look past to enjoy MLB the show.

    Ps…folks were mad that Porsche started making SUV’s.
    But SUV sales kept them alive so they could continue making our beloved 911s

    Give and take. The game would play better as an exclusive but the profits are required to keep it going.


  • How do you feel about saves?
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    If my guy is cruising he stays.
    If he is laboring at all. Gonzo.

    Only stat is the W


  • Just what was SDS thinking on the 99 Mays
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    I just don’t get it.

    They should update the card.

    94 fielding?

    110 power for the 6 th all time HR leader.

    Please fix this abomination.


  • Mariners/Astros make history
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    This [censored] game totally shows the new 1 dimensional players we are getting force feed to us as fans.

    A legend like Verlander was not pitching.

    Rather the normal 97/99 heat every pitcher throws.

    Facing batter after batter with major holes in their swing who’s bat is on plane with the ball for a fraction of a second. Therefore they played two games with zero runs.

    So at some level a costume party.
    Everyone.. players and fans arrive expecting a real game but they all paid for parking to see NOTHING happen.

    This is twice in these playoffs that games have looked like this by the best teams.

    Get rid of 8 man monster bullpens.

    Back to 25 man rosters

    Move the mound back two feet…62.6

    Modern athletes are bigger and stronger. Teams always move their fences to adjust for their squads.

    Sorry for my rant but I am close to being on point.


  • Sports Game Of The Year (2022)
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    The Grinding that is necessary to unlock cards is maddening and feels like Homework/Taxes.

    I just wanted to play DD with my favorite players and unfortunately they are behind a grind.

    When my wife said recently
    “So you are playing with Troy Glaus because you need Sheffield to unlock 99 Mantle. Well…when she put it like that.

    Back to franchise because at the end of the day I just want to play 9 enjoyable innings.


  • So DD Has Devolved into a Game of 99's at EVERY Position All Year Round Now?
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    I would enjoy a salary cap mode.
    80 overall squads

    Find value types that are lesser rated.
    I would play this over rated


  • I’m done with online and this crappy version of HR derby
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    I watch lil man from time to time.
    His games are just homer-feasts

    Too many.

    Online is not good on so many levels.

    When the game drops ps4 and xbox 1 it will be better.
    .


  • The player skill level in this game is insane to me
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    To add in.
    The online folks/community of competitive players are playing on a Monitor where the casual gamer is not.

    This becomes a massive difference when head to head on line between a Monitor and a large tv.

    I can quickly tell if i am playing a monitor when i can not get a single pitch past my opponent.

    Once said scenario i just pitch to contact and hope for a rollover type swing.


  • I'm so bored
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    Change things up.
    Play with a 79 overall squad
    No boosts
    Classic Pitching
    No curser
    No strikezone visible
    Auto fielding

    On Legend difficulty in Mini Seasons

    Make 2 add drops at the half way point in the season and see how you do.

    Enjoy


  • Balls vs Strikes recognition.
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    My process

    1. Go to practice mode on rookie difficulty and use zone hitting with only center diamonds turned on.

    Select only 4 seam fb and only the 4 corners of the strikezone.

    As pitches come in onky move your pci to the spots and do not swing

    Then deselect all the 4 corners and let the cpu throw you pitches to all the zone both balls and strikes.

    Grade yourself every 10 pitches.

    Have you swung at 90 % strikes??

    Move difficulty up towards legend as you hit the 90 % mark in each difficulty

    Good luck


  • Who's in your starting rotation?
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    The Greinke 99 has a curveball that if thrown w no-power comes in at 69 mph.

    I have gotten quite a few roll over gbs to short vs lefties


  • Pedro Throwing 102mph?
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    The pci on legend is just about correct.
    That is where the batting averages settle in.

    On AS and lower the game is a homer arcade.

    H/9 should be the most important pitching attribute Period.

    In 1999/2000 pedro came in with a WHIP of .71

    That is what should matter. And the 102 thing is pure baloney.

    Buy the pitching/hitting engine is being exposed as the only thing that matters is power and k/9


  • Pedro Throwing 102mph?
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    If online used a salary/team overall cap it would be way more interesting.

    Say 85 overall.

    This would keep more cards in play.
    This would have folks building around players.

    Just better than 99 squads IMO


  • Gameplay comparison 21-22
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    The pci anchor added on 2022 is outstanding.

    Hitting seems just off

    Fielding in 22 is too easy for low rated guys.

    But… I love the game.
    It always could be better.


  • My guys from here on in.
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    I just did not like how close Joe Morgan was in the screen at the plate
    I use Strike Zone High and his elbow just bugged me.


  • How the bleep do you steal bases?
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    And release r2 when ir baserunner settles low!

    Wait for him to bend his knees


  • Pitching platforms
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    There is a clear sliver of RNG in the game.

    It shows up most in Classic pitching.
    I honestly do not mind.

    I use Meter pitching in Online but classic vs CPU.

    once in a while i give up a homer to a 98/99 Mantle vs CPU when I am using 89 Saberhagen.

    Wouldn’t you think an 89 rated Sabs would give up a homer to a 99 mantle??

    For ratings to matter the RNG has to show up online as well otherwise all cards are the same.

    I am honestly just good with what I get. The graphics and ability to see Jackie Robinson in a Dodgers uni in Dodger Stadium are great and for me override the RNG moment's.


  • Maybe I should start cheesing too
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    1st off. The 3 inning game is baloney.
    2nd. Game is more fun vs approved and rated players.

    Sds should allow players to rate each other.

    So the cheesy ai glitch tactics would all find each other.


  • You know what would be interesting?
  • RazorForte45_XBLR RazorForte45_XBL

    A separate RS Mode called 80

    Entire line up cannot exceed 80

    Variety would be super
