This makes no sense. Play enough and then you'll be able to get your own high pitcher for free and it'll be an even match. Take them away, and only people that buy Stubs will benefit, and that would enrage all of the no money spent guys. And besides, do you really think people that buy their teams won't also buy their starters? This is the most illogical, ignorant post I've seen in quite some time. Stop whining and put the time in to get the cards you want for free. Yeesh, we are seriously at the point where we complain about getting top tier cards for free rather than buying them? I've officially seen it all.

Nothing annoys me more than people complaining about people throwing balls. It's called discipline. Make the other guy throw strikes, and guess what? He'll throw strikes. Chase curveballs in the dirt and sliders half way to first base all game, and I'll tell you right now that I won't be throwing anything in the strike zone. Why would I? Man, listening to Snell complain about his opponent throwing balls made me turn off his stream last night.

A better question: Who is investing right now, and what is wrong with them?

You must be a blast at parties.

Yeah, so is the perfect jump steal and homerun derby xp amount. This patch seems like a pretty big fail. I wanna see the team affinity tracker though.

Th ey already decides to allow us to quicksell duplicates, I don’t think it’s getting any better than that.

Nice try Ramone.

Agreed. I am so sick of Jessica Mendoza and all others that like to act like it was wrong of Mike Fiers to "betray" his former team. Guess what? The Astros aren't his team anymore. If anything, he was defending his new team from being exploited while doing a favor to all other teams out there. Not to mention, putting the Astros in their place. I was never an Astros fan, but as a baseball fan, I really appreciated that roster of talented players. Now, not so much. But I'm glad that I became aware of what happened, and I'm glad everyone else did too.

Do I understand why no Astro players stopped what was going on? Absolutely. If I were in their place, would I have said anything? As much as I hate to admit it, I doubt that I would. But that doesn't make what happened acceptable and EVERYBODY deserves to know about it. Maybe this will help stop similar behavior in the future. As baseball fans, that’s all we can really hope for.

I got a diamond American League centerfielder a couple of days ago. It was not Trout, it was the trash masher.

Nobody cares bro. You do you.

20k seems like a lot for a 86 overall, no? even for the 90 might not be that great of a deal

I think so. I'm gonna check out the other 4 each hour, but I don't think I'll be purchasing the current offer.

I sold them all and got 170k. It's close, but Buxton wouldn't have made my starting outfield. And those stubs can go in the bank for the 42 series cards to get Jackie.

@solidsnake_222 said in Zone Hitting: Power vs. Normal vs. Contact Swings:

Power swing is good for the long ball, but the timing window for you swing is smaller and you have to be more precise with the pci. Contact swing is pretty much the opposite. Easier to make contact and put the ball in play, but far less power. Normal swing is the best of both worlds.

Personally, I just about never use power swing. If I'm in a 3-0 count and I need a home run to tie the game or take the lead, then I might. But I'd most likely stick with the normal swing. As for contact, if I have 2 strikes and I need to advance a runner from second with no outs or third with one, then I might use contact swing, but again, I'd probably just stick with normal.

I appreciate your input, as well as your personal preferences, but I'm looking for concrete gameplay differences between the three. For example, if I use Contact Swing, what stats are actually taken into account and to what extent? Will it only look at my Contact R/L stats, and apply 100% of those, while taking only a fraction of my Power R/L stats? I can't seem to find anything in the game that defines exactly what each swing does.

I typically stick to Normal Swing personally, and use Contact Swing when protecting with 2 strikes, but it'd be nice to know exactly what each button actually does.

I don't think that information has ever been made available to the player base. If it has, I'm certainly not aware of it.

Happened to me yesterday as well

Just noticed David Dahl is playing down, but he has a boost to his contact and power. Inside Edge must we wonky today.

Minus to contact and power. No other changes. That +3 to his overall is huge today!

Yordan and Salvy, they are out of control.

Tatis hasn't even played for a full MLB season. He is fun to watch and he could be outstanding, but I need to see more of a track record personally. The Padres over committed to him to soon imo, but only time will tell.

I'm a Cubs fan, and let me tell you, Bryant looked amazing having won ROY and MVP in his first two seasons, which came right after winning minor league player of the year. But boy oh boy, if he got Tatis's contract, yikes.

@pennstatefencer said in Okay, the PS5's gameplay recording for trophies is pretty cool after all.:

The recent update allows you to pick what type of trophies you want clips for. The videos take up a good chunk of space and 99% of the time it's something I don't care about, so I switched it to golds and platinums only.

I think I did that as well. Luckily the trophy for the walkoff is a gold.
