This is a great idea and I'd like to see it for all players, I've had 78 overall Bryan Reynolds in my lineup since the beginning (i only play RS) and it'd be really cool to upgrade based off of usage.

This is easily one of the most disappointing parts of the game IMO. I'm heavy into Fantasy Baseball and baseball analytics and the stats and advanced stats sections in this game are terrible. They need new filters as well to allow more advanced type of searches.

LS Bryan Reynolds

I literally mute my TV until I get in game the soundtrack is so bad on this game.

This is a really interesting discussion as someone who has used Normal swing exclusively, I'm going to try some of the tips in this thread around specific situations to see if there is a noticeable difference. Not sure if it will matter for me or not considering how abysmal I am at hitting .219 average over close to 150 RS games, but I'll try anything.

LS Carlos Santana

I mean I've been using Walker Buehler LS and have a sub 2.00 ERA over close to 15 starts so I wouldnt say LS cards are unusable.

Mattingly could be sneaky good... he has the bomber quirk. Especially since the only problem with him would be his power

edit* also i say this not having used him at all

I don’t believe quirks apply to players outside of live series.

I think that only applies to some quirks like the "excels at hitting fastballs" or "excels at hitting breaking balls".

I could be wrong

I'd really like a definitive answer to this I've been wondering this myself for quite some time.

Luzardo
Keller
Buehler (not sure why I kill it with him but I do)
Buehrle
Snell LS

Has anyone used Dane Dunning at all? I'm working my way through the CWS TA and was curious what he is like.

I faced him once and shelled him and I'm terrible at this game batting .219 over about 130 RS games

KeBryan Hayes is free through TA and his defense is nasty at the hot corner and he hits better than you would think

@bhall09 said in Bunting is a valide tactic:

I dont have near the same success bunting, in particular against the CPU when the situation calls for it, that other people have. I dont get it. I can never bunt for hits and sacrificing usually leads to double plays (or bunts popped up in the infield). What am I doing wrong?

I'm the same way I stopped even trying to bunt after having such a hard time bunting for a hit with Mondesi, meanwhile guys I'm facing get bunts for hits with ease even with shifts.
