Speaking of showing one's age, what was the name of the 1980s arcade game you played against the computer that had a track ball on it? It always said "out of here, change sides!"

As title says, why is Rod Carew now just the default batting stance, where is his iconic stance

Cause it’s Hall of Famer Roooodddddd Carew

He converted.

@bodamescapeplan said in Roster Update:

Considering that they've seemingly dropped the whole "three year weighted sample size" thing, I'd say Gimenez has a great shot!

Not only does he have the former top prospect pedigree but he's absolutely raking this season and is one of the best defenders at shortstop in all of baseball right now. I'm not sure he'll go diamond in this update, however, I think he has a strong chance in the very near future. Talk about a turn around breakout season, he is having one.

I think the 3-year deal is now mostly used to determine the rating at the beginning of the season.

I do believe the Daniel Nava moment from 18 is the all time worst. it was just brutal

That and Barry Larkin, because it required XBH and you had to steal like 2 bags. Yes and it wasn't player locked!

What's crazy is those regular moments back then were harder than the extreme moments later on. Yet people complained about them and now they are gone. Pretty soon we will be doing programs and moments by just turning on our system and loading up the game. Video games get exponentially easier ever few years.

Very well said!

I don’t think this castellanos moment is possible using directional hitting. All I do is hit homers with him. And that would be fitting, given his 110+ power. Just ridiculous. Seriously.

I used directional and got it in his 2nd or 3rd AB.

Sounds like you locked the cards in that you bought. The ones you get after Devers aren't sellable. Just like with Rizzo last month and it will most likely be that way each ensuing month.

This moment has been a complete nightmare. All I do is hit triples

Well played, because I know you're smart enough to stop at second.

@jonblaze2424_PSN i prefer Copenhagen personally but will try and see if it helps.

Red Seal could work in a pinch.

Can't wait until he faces Max Muncy, thank Funky Muncy.

@rebsfan_psn said in Stealing... Don't Do It:

Take a lead, hit the steal button, shorten lead. They seem to get a better jump that way. Sometimes I hit the button to take a lead just as you see the pitcher going home. But don't hold that button, as in online play, he keeps running and doesn't slide into the bag.

I might add, you might want to be ready to hit the R2 as sometimes if the pitcher throws over after you hit steal he's caught with his pants down.

Sds why the heck is the Jim Rice challenge for 2XP so darn hard? Ive smashed the ball numerous times to the wall just to keep being called out at 2nd base. Things like this makes your game horrible. Whats the catch? Why is it so hard? Do you get a mega diamond or something? Am i missing something? What is going on with this [censored]? [censored]!

Switch to directional, hold up on the left stick, swing with power. Just do this on every moment that requires HRs or XBHs. Trust me. Directional, hold up stick the whole time, use power swing.

Eggsactly!

Hit em over the wall. Took me 3ABs.

Congratulations. You seem to be one of the few.

Want a cookie for your massive accomplishment?

Would you like some cheese with that wine?

Pulled everyone but Trout and cover boy this year.

Jeter only played for the Yankees, Papi made his name in Bawston after Minnesota gave up on him. Fat Albert chased the money, left St. Louis in the lurch. Only came back for his final season, no one cares.

1500 maybe, 1250 for 83 I think

"Just look at the back of my bubble gum card"

Somtimes I think SDS does that.
