The unapologetic disgusting greed this company is showing this year is ludicrous.

So if directional is such trash, and zone hitting so perfect, explain the pci user who pulled a slider that was 2 feet outside, pretty much in the other batters box, and a again I say PULLED, for a 500ft homerun with a 50 power guy against me...yup directional is trash and unrealistic and zone is perfect and realistic....lmao

They made the conquest partial repeatable, you get 1....yes 1 voucher worth 2800 points for every 5 stronghold beaten...this is a joke.

It's the new Era of SDS...you want any good cards....please open you wallet.

Zone hitting is the most unrealistic style of hitting in the game...yes it takes skill, I don't disagree, but zone hitters can reach balls that no directional hitter can reach, and no human being in real life could reach for tha matter...the down and in off the shoe laces hit...the 2 feet outside hit...the up and in almost hitting you in the head hit, a lot of those for homeruns....ya zone is realistic my [censored]...skill yes, realistic hell no.

Best one I have seen this year, playing the angels, Harper at the plate facing the shift, hit a ball the straight away LF (opposite field) Upton took two steps towards the ball and stopped as Trout came from right center, ran past Upton and caught the ball...8t's only happened the one time, but still...I just stared at the screen laughing lol

Good thanks, you? As a Jay's fan I'm super stoked to see Manoah pitch his first game in the big tonight

@ssamy777_NSW said in Very late inside pitch oppo:

How in the world does it make sense for an inside pitch to go opposite field on a very late swing? What the heck is this broken game..

Derek Jeter and his plaque in Cooperstown say hi! Do you even watch baseball????...it's called an inside out swing...pull your hands in and swing late on an inside pitch to shoot it the other way...Jeter made a career out of it to the tune of over 3000 career hits and at least 1/3 of those where of the inside out oppo hits.

Basically from what I am seeing is instead of three maps that give 30,000 points for each division, you now get 3 vouchers per 15 strongholds won. Exchange 10 vouchers for 28,000 points....so basically to get what we got before, we will need to beat 276 strongholds....

Edit: sorry math was wrong...we will need to beat 300 strongholds, which means to get the same program points as previously, we will need to run the map 20 times, this is getting rediculous at this point.

Not really wanting to start anything, but I know I will... but I will never understand why people think Schwarber ever deserves a 99. I mean let's be serious here....sure he can hit 35-45 hrs, but outside of that he hits near the mendoza line, strikes out 200+ times a year, is at best an average fielder with an average arm and has average speed....

oh and ask me how many of my Jay's have 99's? But I'm not on here complaining and demanding my teams players should all be given 99's

I can confirm this doesn't work. I haven't received progress in, in going on, 3 days now. I have tried every fix that has been suggested and none have worked...the mode is completely effed progression wise and seems like it's a crazy shoot on whether it works or not

Servers are not back up...I am getting a network cannot be reached error

I don't totally hate moments, I like the idea and that it's a challenge. However, with that said, I think the difficulty (meaning modified sliders) should be toned own a bit. I just had 2 attempts at the yelich extreme moment...in both attempts I had 2 hrs in my first 2 at bats....had 3 more at bats in both attempts I saw 36 pitches in those 6 at bats and never saw a single pitch closer the 6 inches off the plate (I swong at balls to get full counts in hopes of getting a strike which never came). So how can you even try to hit a 3rd homerun when the cpu won't throw you a strike. That's the one aspect that I hate about moments the rng is too over the top

Or Dave Winfield killing a seagull in Toronto while trying to throw out a runner from right field lmao

Thanks everyone for the tips and help, I truly appreciate it

I get people wanting realism if playing franchise or RTTS but online no. No sports game has realism when playing H2H. I play zone + analog stride because it helps my timing and discipline and less dependant on RNG than directional. Hate missing beach balls and hanging curves because I can’t hit where the ball’s at.

I wasn't saying that at all...I was just proving a point to the op whose saying directional is trash and unrealistic...I respect everyone's choice on how they play whether it be zone or directional. But to call something trash and unrealistic because you lost to it is rediculous and childish. I'm just defending peoples right to choose their play style.

With that said, I must give you props for combining zone and analog that's some cool [censored]

I'm still waiting 9n them to bring back a Dave Stieb card....one can dream lol

I'm a bit of both but the swing is definitely a big part of it...which is why I went with TA Bichette, as side from being a blue Jay guy, his swing works for me but also I liked that of the SS options I felt he had the most balanced stats...so you swing first but I do look at stats too

@savagesteve74 said in Rob Manfred:

Double header needs to go, as well as relief limit. I don’t mind the extra innings rule, speeds it up. No one enjoyed 14+ inning games, ruined the teams for weeks.

The real fix needs to be the defensive shifts, data doesn’t lie, it’s killing baseball. BABIP is in serious decline, fans like action, shifts offer no action. (I said this in a different post earlier)

I hate defensive shifts too, but until baseball becomes baseball again...we have to live with it. By that I mean, if pure baseball, which is bunting, moving runners, hitting to all fields, working counts and taking walks doesn't come back and we
are forced to watch the boring shift, striking out look on a hittable/foulable pitch waiting for the homerun style of baseball...the shift is here to stay.

If I am not using my CAP there, I have been using Betts...I hit well with him and he's a diamond defender
