Your pitcher shouldn’t get tired after throwing one pitch.

I get that we don’t want a starter going all 3 but [censored]. This is crazy.

Pitches with perfect release don’t magnetize to the dead center of the plate.

I understand missing your spots but when using 99 overall pitchers with 100+ control, it makes no sense. Bronzes and commons, sure, why not.

Fixing this aspect would make the game so much better. There are other issues, but to me this is the biggest.

Would you guys be interested in seeing energy having an impact on positional players as well next year?

While many might say, “no way in he11” this could allow for some opportunities to use bench players a bit more, adding a bit of strategy.

Now, I am not saying they would need five games rest, but rather a game or two here and there.

I think that if it wasn’t overpowered it could be cool. The less energy they have, some attributes dip slightly. Would make the durability factor in the game actually mean something.

How does that even happen? A ball hit perfectly should be fair, no?

Didn’t think that was possible but whatever. Has this happened to anyone else?

Alright, I have to say that the 98 overall McKay is a [censored] glitch. Through 60.1 innings, he is 5-2 with a 2.09 era and holding batters to a .167 avg.

Just had a perfect game through 6 before the other guy quit. His repertoire is not the best, I’ll give you that. But if you can mix your spots and the fastball and cutter/change, he can be deadly.

I haven’t had success like this with many cards.

But wait, there’s more!

Dude is hitting .588 with 3 hr and 7 RBI’s. The only times he has gotten out have been solid line drives. He’s also been HBP 3 times after people get pissed with him hitting them.

Can’t beat having a “DH” in the 9 spot.

Check all of the Team Collection Rewards and plan accordingly. Last year finished Marlins day one for Dee Strange-Gordon. Still hitting over .340 with him.

Probably my favorite card of the year.

I actually hit really well off of him. Most try to dot sinkers away. I just sit out there and try not to chase anything in on the hands.

Yep and and real problem is the lack of control by the pitcher and the 20 pitch ABs because the hitter fouls everything off.

I’m enjoying Randy Johnson but if it isn’t a fastball, it isn’t a strike.

Even with perfect release.

I’ve sucked with all of the Finest relievers. The only one who was under a 4.00 era was Gallegos, which I thought was odd since he seems like the most basic out of the relievers.

Dee Strange-Gordon is the only answer. I have other diamond options but won't be taking him out any time soon.

3 player of the month cards are either current or former Rays lol. I also get a stud Bryan Reynolds which means we are about to get a stud Adam Frazier (I'd imagine a lot like the David Fletcher Finest), as well in TA3.

SDS has been pretty good to the Rays with cards all year and now the Pirates are getting in on the action.

Can not wait to get my Mike Zunino card as well! Even though everyone will be rocking Schwarber behind the plate lol.

Tampa Bay Rays

No Evan Longoria 99. Also the high diamonds are all lefty hitters. Need more variety.

Ben Zobrist, BJ Upton, Carl Crawford, and Fernando Rodney are sorely needed next year or the next few years.

With team affinity giving duplicate cards that can’t be sold off or exchanged I have zero interest in speeding through team collections like previous years. I’d like Mantle but it’s not the end of my gaming experience if I can’t use him for a few months.

Rays - Carl Crawford, Roberto Hernandez/Grant Balfour
Pirates - Brian Giles, Jack Wilson
Dodgers - Fernando Venezuela

I don't see any reason why they couldn't do something like this. You already get another card in your inventory when you prestige someone. You're just changing the photo on the card.

As I had mentioned in the video, I want more history added to the game. We have so many younger children playing who see players like Enos Slaughter in the game, and have no idea who he is, or what he accomplished. I'd love to see true stat lines or something like that added to the game.

Is nobody playing the event right now? I’m 9-0 for the first time ever and I’ve been on the opponent rating min 0 max 2500+ for the past 10 minutes.

I’m wondering if something is up with my internet or if it’s truly just a dead dead-ball era event.

Greg Maddux never mis-located a pitch. Ever.

He definitely did, but the amount of times this happens is far too often. Even if it was a bit more rare, I’d be fine with it. But when you have good confidence and stamina you shouldn’t be throwing primary pitches down the middle multiple times in the same inning.

It’s boring to face the same teams in conquest each time. If the teams randomized with each “map reset” it would be much better.

Aside from the pre-order diamonds, who was your first diamond pull of the year?

The history will update card pulls that weren’t diamond at the time, but what was your first, at launch, diamond?

Mine was Yelich.

Looks like I also got a lot of Voit, Nick Anderson, and Time Anderson’s early on as well who ended up going diamond.

Pretty interesting to look at the history of it all.

I’ve found that his off speed pitches get smacked. I do better throwing 80 fastballs a game then a 50-30 split. Doesn’t feel like pitching, which I think hurts the card a bit.

But the movement on his pitches are exactly where you want them. And once you get them looking for movement, you can blow the 102 by them out of no where.

Typically I would agree. I’m much better with pitchers with movement. But his slider being so fast is the speed players are able to hit when they are so far behind a fastball.
