When they built the captain system they didn't tie attributes to players and instead just made it card specific. So if they release a 99 Ken Griffey Jr. as a Red, he would be ineligible for a Mariners theme team. Probably so they can make sure certain theme teams aren't so good that everyone runs them, but would be a lot more fun if they were more flexible about it

Like they always say. Put the ball in play and good things will happen.

Why must there always be something that bails hitters out? I have seen more late hits since launch than ever before. Just lost 10-9 where my opponent was able to have a 5 run inning on 3 back to back very late hits. And the best part is there not even bloopers sometimes there’s shots down the line.

Late doesn’t always mean bad, same goes for early.

Yes it does that’s why there’s early side of good and late side of good. If your late you got beat i can see a bloop coming out of it but not line drives down the line that’s what late side of good should be.

No, it really doesn’t. What you perceive to be “on time” means that, mostly, the ball is going to go straight. Early means you’ll pull the ball. Late means you’ll push the ball the other way. There are other factors, i.e. pitch speed, bat angle, etc. but ultimately, swinging early or late isn’t a bad thing. I intentionally swing late against the shift. It’s a good way to get doubles.

There are balls that bloop for hits or land just out of reach on pitches that shouldn’t have been swung at, but that happens in real life plenty.

What you just mentioned is what early side of good and Late side of good represent. You wanna be on the later side of good on a outside pitch just like you wanna be on the earlier side of good on an inside pitch. Late means you go beat plain and simple and early means your out in front.

It's a spectrum, and being just early or late, or early or late doesn't mean you can't make decent enough contact to get a hit. Very early and very late are on that spectrum, and typically don't lead to hits...but that doesn't mean never.

Agreed. It just looks weird. Like a half swing type look

@STI1489 said in Prestige should be halved at this point:

It’s The tail end of this game why not halve the prestige requirements? There’s no way I’m getting 105 hits with Hanley or 70 with lemahieu I understand it’s supposed to be a grind but again it’s December and none of these cards carry over to the next game might as well just have fun with it for the rest of the year.

Make them offline as well

@Thierry007007 said in Why do very early swings keep biting me in the rear lately?:

I hit 3 perfect perfect fly balls for fly outs. I hit an early fly ball is a homerun. This game hitting engine is a [censored] mess.

I had some perfect/perfect outs as well today it feels like a crapshoot again which just sucks. It stings even more when you give up these crappy hits and don’t get me wrong it goes both ways but my opponents have been blessed much more than me this month. For most of the year the game was playable but this just feels like 18 again.

WS 1985 Cardinals vs Royals blown call at first base one of the if not the worst call ever

Silver & Bronze Pitchers

Are you serious at least in the first event we could work towards prestiging pitchers. What is the point of this event? I keep thinking this is SDS doing testing on contact hitters.

Wow...what ignorance. You think SDS does testing?

Ok, that may be a little harsh, but the gameplay keeps going downhill. I defended it for as long as I could.

@STI1489 said in Where is the love for cliff lee:

Maddux has been very fun to use and i know lee would be just as good

Lee has less than half of Maddux's career WAR and 80% fewer Cy Youngs.

"Just as good?" I don't think so.

I meant within the meta of the game seeing as lee would be a fínese pitcher like maddux no one was comparing there careers maddux is the best pitcher of of the 90s.

That must of hurt, did you throw your hot pocket across the room?

Why would i ever waste such a beauty that is a hot pocket? The fresh mozzarella cheese oozing like a lava cascade out of the open pockets of the delectable garlic butter pastry crust the playful pepperoni that just tickles your taste buds with an oh so ever delicious spice and the sauce ohhhhh the sauce which brings everything together like a symphony of perfection.

Excuse me while I go nuke a hot pocket now...

Throw that [censored] in the oven, nice and crispy. Mmm-mmm, now I gotta go get some lol

Co-vid or not there exists too many apps and services to communicate nowadays and not a peep from SDS. I would love to know the excuse bc right now everyone has nothing but free time. Also they stated at the beginning of the year that communication would be improved this year. At the very least they have to answer these questions are we close to a fix in this years game? Will there be no more major patches and we have to wait until 21? Why did you decide to give the majority of pitchers a sinker this year?

They never reply if it has something to do with gameplay. It's really sad since there hasn't been a patch in over a month. I bet these people don't even call their mother on mother's day.

Correct me if I am wrong, but patch 1.12 was 14 days ago. According to a post in the diamond dynasty thread.

There was a patch but had nothing to do with gameplay. It even mentioned it in the patch notes.
