Are people going with Shea Langeliers (who rakes by the way) or the Big Dumper, and or Jorge Posado?
Also Adames or Correa, or De Vries?
I'm great with Raleigh, haven't got posada. Usually bad with shea
De vries I hit 2 hr with him right off the bat then I think went like 0 for 18
I know during weekend classic there def felt like a significant lag and I had no freeze offs but where the game would freeze for 5-10 seconds are many plays at first.
I played yesterday and a game at coors felt great when I was home team, a game at fenway felt laggy again when I was the road team
So whatever that means I don't know but that was my experience.
All my weekend classic games felt laggy
I played two this morning and they felt pretty good. One game at coors was great, another at fenway felt a little off but better than weekend classic
@RAisEdByGoAt_XBL said in This Game is Darn Near Unplayable Online:
I’ll put it this way….All day I was smoking guys ranked in the 800-900s. Last year I was around 950 or so. I was even accused of smurfing earlier from a player using Randy ranked 980ish after he quit while I was on my way to mercy him. I just played another player with Randy hell I’ve faced nothing but Randy all day today. Guys with low ERAs I was doing very well. Good players. Very good players. I just played against a dude who swung at everything and probably holds a rank just around 700 and let me tell ya the game just changes completely. Suddenly everything loses exit velos. Ur pitches will hit the inner most par to give ur opponent the chance. U will have comical defense errors in clutch situations. For instance.. I would have won the game. But my catcher couldn’t field the pitch so the player was able to make it to first base on a strikeout. What ALWAYS comes next… you guessed it. A bomb. Pitch was nowhere near the plate heavy inside yet my opponent rips a bomb. It’s those kinds of things you have to watch out for when ur facing guys that are ranked lower or just aren’t as good or have internet issues. You have to be careful. Ur pitches are going to hang. Ur defense is going to make errors. Ur hits will only have exit velos on the foul balls. Ur goods are going to die as if they hit a tunnel of wind suddenly while ur opponent dinks the living [censored] out of ur with early or late hits. For me personally, it has made me have to work much harder and play more. Smart from SDS. The gameplay handicaps and adapts to let players that aren’t as good keep up with some of us that play religiously. People on here will deny it and I don’t bat an eye. My thought is they are just trolling because there is no way we should even be arguing this
Same thing happened to me. De vries diamond shield at 2nd in the 9th. I'm winning by 1. Routine ground ball directly to him, not even a high velocity hit and it got the bad hop animation. Next guy I threw a splitter with Chapman that should've been below the zone and it was pretty much middle middle for a 2 run hr. I lose.
Should've been 2 outs and nobody on in the 9th at that point. The next game elly at ss had an error in the 9th too when I was up one but fortunately I didn't lose that one
I l just played two ranked, first at coors and it was like 9-8. 2nd game was fenway and it was like zero exit velo everything felt so dead
I had 28 good hits and my opponent had 14 but we went thru 11 innings to finish
It's definetly frustrating when the batter analysis is showing you how much better you're hitting than your opponent and the game isn't playing that way
I NEVER buy packs and I ordered a chase pack on my phone for 25k stubs to get a crochet for 3k.
I didn't read/understand properly and assumed I was going to get any chase card from packs 1-22.
Just posting my error in paying attention to prevent someone else from doing the same.
I played ranked for the first time in about a month today.
I played 4 or 5 games and all were home games at Coors.
If you're struggling is it your timing or just a general complaint about exit velocity?
I felt like all 5 games I was behind on pitches that I didn't feel like I should have been. I don't remember this being a thing in previous weekend classics (for me).
For the most part I think the input and the outcomes matched in all 5 games. It felt a little laggy and I never got a freeze but the game did stop a little bit after numerous first base animations.
Congrats
Downsides vs Upsides of making weekend classic simply the last week of each "inning" or last week of each ranked season.
I know the leaderboards would be worthless because it'd be pretty much whoever had the most volume to play.
I personally can only play the game for a good length of time on Saturday and Monday. I was planning to playing this Monday but i'll have to work later in the morning then I thought. I like the idea of weekend league and have found it fun when I've been able to play but I think it would be better to play 6 sweaty games over the course of like a week. I know some people space it out between Friday and Tuesday but my job doesn't really work with that schedule.
I'll have about 3 hours to play on Monday now this week but it won't be enough to play 6 games so I'll likely just finish off the santana mini seasons.
I'm pretty sure there have been enough posts about this that if it was going to be fixed along with the stats/attributes on the squad screen....it would have been fixed.
I would be surprised if they randomly chose to fix it now.
If i'm doing a conquest and then finish a game and hope in to adjust my lineup to target the mission stats it freezes all the time. It's super annoying and I don't think it's isolated to one thing which is prob why its not fixed.
I think a ton of non world series players have ws badges since you can kind've fake level up during weekend classic. I'm not sure exactly but you can prob go 6-0 in silver II (maybe silver I) and get the WS banner.
When I see like a 20x flawless banner I think this game is done before it starts but honestly I don't think the WS banner means as much as it used to this year.
I didn't do the survey but I in large part am very happy with the game with no real complaints.
I have likes/dislikes, I don't think gameplay is nearly as bad as others complain about. I hit HR's fine now and didn't hit them as well when all the hitters had 85 power.
I used to like events/BR and don't see a point in playing neither. I'm not a fan of a super amazing chase card each week that is always a fan favorite. You don't NEED them for your team but man they hide a lot of cool cards in chase packs that you gotta sink a boatload of stubs into.
DQ I think is a good idea but I'm not playing for 45 mins, winning all my games and then running the risk of getting nothing. I'm just not going to do it, I'd rather run the draft conquest repeatable map and at least guarantee myself 15k stub minimum.
Collections are a bit frequent but doesn't bother me too much. I had beltran pretty early, I've got Ted/Raleigh but haven't intentionally gone after bautista or posada too hard. I also got seager early when he was a collection because he's one of my favorite swings.
I also typically play only on Saturday and Monday and am able to keep up with all the content pretty good...so I don't get bored. This is the first year I've played more offline than online.
So yeah, there are some dislikes but way more likes for me.
I play on Saturday while watching movies. Basically get caught up on moments, spotlight, conquest map, etc.
I play Monday mornings which is sometimes the same stuff as above but this is the day I would play ranked or weekend classic.
The other 5 days I don't really have time or opportunity to play.
I've kept this schedule all year and I've had beltran for months. I have most non chase cards... In other words, I'm not behind.
Every Saturday I feel like I have plenty to do and I tend to improve my team week over week with this schedule.
This is why the daily xp limit was dumb last year bc I basically binge play on Saturday.
But content has felt just right for me this year. There is always something for me to do and it never feels daunting or impossible.
I would say I have played way more offline than online this year where in the past I believe I played more online.
Yelich I hope
I did not end up buying ketel, I did pull Bernie from the sig pack so I'm prob closer to 600k now if I sell Bernie.
So people talked me out of it I suppose. I won't play much after today until Saturday so we'll see what the week brings
@Barfy-Bad-Gas_XBL said in Ketel worth 240k?:
I’m running Carlos Correa at 3rd and Ryne Sandberg/Chase Utley at second. With all the incredible 99s out there I can’t imagine dropping over 100k on a card for my lineup unless I just had a ton of stubs and didn’t really care where they went.
That being said I’m saving up for potentially buying Jimmy Rollins.
I've tried Sandberg but don't like his kind've slide step swing.
Correa I have 56 cards towards the 60 to get him and that's another place I've been saving stubs. I'm typically not great with Correa cards.
Chase Utley I was good that first year he came out with. Is he a extreme pull guy, do you know?
@xRatedGProdigyx_PSN said in Ketel worth 240k?:
You could buy him, try him out in a few Moonshot Event games, then decide the next step. Do you do well with the Live Series / 79 Ketel Marte? You could just use those players in the event to see how you like a weaker version of him.
3 for 8 online with live series lol
I think at that point I was running seager at 2nd when ketel was still way more expensive
I feel like I haven't used him in a few years bc he's either behind a collection, expensive, or other comparable cards were out.
I feel like I was really good with a finest ketel a few years back
I have 400k stubs and not sure if I should spend freely or hold for future collections. I didn't finish Bautista or the new posada collection. Don't think I need Bautista and I have cal.
I suck terribly with jram at 3rd and have enough lefties (Williams, griffey, tucker) that I don't think I care about babe Ruth. I'm super good with tucker I know other higher attribute cards have passed him by.
I feel like a super expensive trout collection will eventually come that I'll want. I'll also want whatever Corey seager 99 comes.
Also typically prefer extreme pull hitters and ketel is extreme pull? Is he end game? Would he get a better finest? Assuming Corbin may get dbacks finest tho
I was just doing the Verlander moments and it froze twice almost to a complete stop but it continued and was fine since. Little timid about trying the showdown only to do 80% and get frozen out
I thiught it was my internet but maybe the servers
His slider and splitter hang alot. I have more success throwing the spliter like belt high inside and outside tunneled with the outlier. If you always throw it low its Def gonna hang. I'm good enough with him but I thjbn after about 5 ip he gets figured out
