@Teak2112_MLBTS said in Update AJ Puk:

Puk deserves a bad HR/9 rating because of the last two years. But other than that hes been fine, it really is weird hes rated so low

Last year was bad for sure at 1.6, but every other year has been under 1.0. He has lowered that to 0.4 this season but that attribute has only been bumped by SDS only one time all season. So I understand him starting out lower but he has pitched a full season and it's not going up much at all.

I am the first to throw water on these posts normally, but it really does seem like they have shafted him.

Among relief pitchers from my post above

16th in K/9
10th in BB/9
13th in HR/9

Here has been his updates

79 to 73 in April
Reduced to 68 when switched to RP in May
68 to 65 in June
65 to 63 in July

Now I am willing to accept some Wonkiness because he spent part of the year as a SP and then switched to RP but this just seems strange to me.

Mookie Betts is similar too. They look awful.

I haven’t tried Mookie yet, that sucks to hear. I’ve always loved his cards.

When your “searching for an opponent” do you get the warning about entering a crossplay mode?

@GixxerRyder750 said in Hitting too easy?:

Sure it would ok if you had 15+ hits and your opponent didn't?

I am. It’s still too much.

I use a Google Nest Mesh with three satellites with a Cat 6 ethernet cable connected directly into one of the Mesh satellites, PS5, and LG C3. Gameplay is great unless there is latency do to a poor P2P connection in an online H2H game, in which we have no control of. This is why I wish they would give us a ping notification (like they used to).

Also the signature Matt Carpenter card. I know Carp has always had some good cards including two lightning cards for Stl and one for the Yankees, but this Sig card is insane. It flat out rakes!!!

@saintleo14 in theory great concept, in actuality it'd be the same teams over and over because there would be a meta team for that mode.

@GixxerRyder750 I think there are definite perks, but I think they could have used a juiced up Tim Raines card (the 99 perhaps) as captain and the team would not have been that different and it would definitely not be unbalanced or unfair.

There seemed to be the idea to keep the captains at a lower rating (92-95) because there was a fear that they could be too powerful??? It just makes them irrelivant.

Going forward next year, maybe make the captains 99s, BUT make it so they have to be on the team they are boosting. Captains should have to be in the lineup.

Still waiting to see who gets the nickname 'Snap Throw'

@saintleo14_MLBTS said in Blatantly Cheating:

I’m currently in a game where the opponent is changing his field alignment to the same preset each pitch. No matter where I hit the ball, even clear gappers, his fielders are magically appearing where the ball would land. Currently winning 1-0 because I hit a HR with Acuna.

I’d say lag, but it is every single batter and no other issues at all.

Is a bug like this a known issue?

How is setting a shift cheating?

It also takes a lot for me to say someone’s cheating, rather than bad luck.

@saintleo14_MLBTS said in Offense a bit too OP:

Every game on ranked seems to be 15+ hits for each team and at least 7-8 runs. Started 5-0, now 5-2. But each game seems wayyy too offensively overpowered. I know I need to move up the ranks in RS to get higher levels but [censored].

How are y’all feeling it plays in the higher levels?

I haven’t played ranked yet, just BR and Events but I thought that last year in 22 it was boring because of 102mph and good/good contact producing outs. Not to mention outfielders tracking down every single ball like they’re Gary Maddux. That combo, especially later in the game cycle, produced boring games IMO. The point I’m trying to make is that I guess I’ll take the juiced offense this year lol.

I don’t necessarily mind the juiced offense, but rather the amount of home runs yesterday. Seemed like no matter the pitcher or hitter, bombs were often. I prefer more triples, doubles, singles.
