Please. The amount of very close/bad calls is ridiculous.

102-112? I have 3 kids so if I have something to do I'll quit, or if my opponent acts like a 4th kid, I'll quit. I do lose many games. Never rage quit. Been mercy ruled more than most lol

Ben Zobrist, Jazz Chisholm and Matt Wieters.

Players have held their spot since they were released. Lol Jazz is a monster

Glitchy I'm guessing is the frame drop from lag.

Dont practice, man. It will throw you off forever. Just play. Custom practices are a waste. Practice in game lol it'll help out way more.

Sometimes a pitcher needs you to square up with perfect timing, to get the result they need. With Newhouser on the mound, if I need you to hit into a double play I will throw you a 2 seam FB right down the middle of the plate. If you square up, it's going into the dirt. But if you chop at it, slightly high and early. It would probably result in a RBI double depending who's on base. The game is a real life simulator and we complain about the real life results. Math and physics were my favorite subjects. The Physics in results, are 85% percent of the time, right on. Yes there are certain aspects that just don't add up, but sometimes, Your perfect perfect, was not what you needed. If the pitch is way outside (love those pitches) its the perfect placement for a late swing ok contact, double into either gap. Physics is real life. If you use directional, you can really complain, because you're taking the real life aspect, out of the game. I'm not sure if any of this makes sense or if I am the least bit right, but I aced physics in school, and the results I get when batting, add up when I include pitcher skills, type of pitch thrown, ball placement, batter and pitcher handedness, swing angle, timing, etc.

During a conquest game or batting practice, watch a replay turn your camera angle, and you can literally do the math to each at bat. They're correct almost 90% of the time. Baseball isn't an easy game, it isn't as easy as pitch, swing, hit, homerun. People don't like this sport because its so hard to play and be good at, in real life.

Just my personal opinion. Irrelevant, maybe, but thats fine. Maybe it'll help some understand.

Dude, this is on point. The other day I got a message from my opponent asking for putouts.. I told him I'm sure you can get the 2 that you need within 9 innings. I'm at 55 silver, he was a 56 Prestige... I won. But there was no feeling of pride for beating a Prestige level player, because he was a massive booster. Halfway through Prestige level and still trying to fill spots on his team.... if you get to Prestige level and you don't own Mantle.... You might be boosting.

I think hitting engine was not touched, feedback windows show more information so we can understand the physics in why we suck lol

All in favor of releasing the patch now?? Lol

It stays 3-2 until the top of the 9th when your opponent bunts his way on base with cargo. Then your low sinker hangs over the plate to whoever the next batter is and now you’re down 4-3. Retire the next three in order.

Bottom 9th you get the obligatory good okay game tying solo shot and then are forced to play five more innings of this garbage until mondesi hits a fly ball that your opponent’s left fielder botched and you run around the bases for the win.

You win?!!?!

Yea but at what cost

A RP getting the W instead of your starter who pitched 9 innings with 18Ks 3 hits and 2 ER

18ks what is this legend difficulty? In all star they can foul off pitches thrown at the press box

Lol I can not hit for my life so my pitching has got to be A+ my BA is just over .200 (it's ok to laugh, I laughed) but my era is 1.51 for what it's worth haha

Up the middle, down both lines and behind the plate. Lol everywhere.

You're the home team, 7th inning strech, you're up 3-2.... What happens next?

Scratch working the market first, Honestly I'd work on filling collections to get Mantle and Sheffield. They're worth locking every card in. You will not pull a Trout. So if you want to get them, you gotta buy trout, and his price is only going up. Then I would shoot for pulling duplicates from packs and selling every card for the max. You may have to wait for some to sell but they will sell. Be patient and fill any team that doesn't have a diamond first. (after you buy trout) do not spend on legends or flashbacks. Only buy live series. FILL THEM COLLECTIONS! it's the only way to get the best cards out there.

Thanks for your help, I have filled all collections except for those with crazy expensive diamonds like Rockies, Nationals, Yankees, Angels, Mets, etc

Ottovino, Giambi, Piazza are definitely worth the stubs. Then again, I did fill these when Cole was going for under 50k and Degrom was only at 40k .... my first priority was to fill live series collections before opening day (which sadly never came)

Locking in the big players may bring some pack luck.

You could easily turn that 500k into a couple Million if you work the market till you get digital eye strain.

Complete live collections and team affinity. Don't by players, buy packs, flip cards. This is my lineup from flipping packs. Started flipping day 1 of market opening.

99 Craig Biggio
99 Mickey Mantle
95 Mike Trout
94 Ben Zobrist
99 Gary Sheffield
94 Nolan Jones
88 Gleyber Torres
90 Adley Rutschman
98 Hal Newhouser

Bench

90 Jo Adell
95 Nolan Gorman
90 Cody Bellinger
91 Jim Edmonds
99 Ryne Sandberg

If you don't spend on packs, your odds are relaxed. If you spend for the clout, you'll end up with Trout.

Not sure if youre just joking, but I actually agree with this too, seems like all the diamonds I pulled are right after I added $20 here and there into the game, and even then the diamond value usually matches your cash injection, or close to it. When I pulled Ozzie it was right after I put in $30, and Spencer Howard $20. Just seems to be a pattern

I would think it’s more probably of a system that if you have shown a history of putting money into the game there’s a certain threshold that they would slam your odds if you open packs to try to dwindle you down to no stubs in hopes that history repeats itself and you will buy more stubs.

At least that’s how I would run it if I were going to scam you.

This is true. I do not boast about my pulls or how much I spend in game but , I have spent enough to say I'm about 90% sure, the odds are in favor of those who spend. Once I finished live series collections, pack luck was insane. So insane I'm at 100% in all team affinities.

And if you can't hit a Dinger, you probably pulled Springer.......Again.
