Anyone got the decoder ring that allows us to figure out what this post means?

@platewelder_363_MLBTS George Brett would like a word

@ApolloZ_99_MLBTS 100% false. It’s the same strike zone size. That’s why all this complaining is hilarious. They shrunk the visual of the strike zone to accommodate the new ABS-type zone. So that pitch that now just grazes the zone for a strike would’ve previously been 50/50 on the black for a strike in the old version.

There’s no entitlement that a “casual” player deserves to get to 500k XP. You seem to either be misusing your time on the game or simply not playing enough. I play most evenings for a bit and I’m at 444k and I’ve had some vacations away in there.
This sounds like a car salesman who only works 1 day a week and maybe isn’t the best complaining that he can never win salesman of the month. The people who put in real time and are good get rewarded with stuff. The good thing about the Inning rewards is that you can buy them if you really want and don’t have the time to put into it.

Started reading that nonsensical post and then realized it kept going and going and going. Yikes. I’d recommend switching to a game that you like.

This is all just so stupid. Why do so many people assume it’s “bots” 1-upping bids? Like it’s impossible for a human to do that. I do it all the time and I’m just 1 dude. When there 100’s or even 1000’s of people looking at these cards at any given time, this bid activity can easily be human.
And if it was just bots bidding each other up 1 stub at a time, what would the bot owner be gaining? I have yet to not get a card I wanted by placing a normal bid that was like 10 stubs above/below the low/high bid.

What makes you think those are bots doing that? I’m a person and when I list something to buy/sell, I’m almost always doing exactly what you’re describing. And I’m just a dude playing game and I have to think there are 10’s of thousands of other dudes doing the same thing. I think you’re confusing a rational market with a bot and I doubt that’s true. Not even sure what a bot would gain by doing what you’ve described.

Thanks for this!! Never would have known that was there. Super happy that this forum yielded something better than people crying about how every line drive should be a hit or citing RNG for why they suck or claiming “investors” were somehow helping the game or blah blah blah.
Thanks!!

@elMexicano281_PSN being honest, you sound like a loser. Everyone in this ranked system gets to the same point. Thats how this works. You get as high as you can get, then you get matched with better players and you get humbled and sent back. That level is higher for you than most people, but complaining about getting matched with better players makes you sound like a loser.

He wore #23. Good lord…

I’m guessing the fool didn’t realize Wagner is a relief pitcher

What evidence of bots does anyone have? Because you got outbid by 1 as soon as you entered a bid? Well, I’m a human and I bid a few more that the recent bid as a normal process. Lots of people play this game, so I assume there could be hundreds of people looking at the same card at the same time. What would be end game for a bot anyway? Lazy post.

I’ve had that happen too. My internet is really good so I’ve just chalked it up to weird lag once in awhile. In games when it happens, it’ll happen quite a bit but it’s intermittent. It’s a bummer when it happens that’s for sure.

@theBlindRhino_PSN nope

I’ve had this happen maybe 6-8 times this season. If we’re talking about the same thing, it’s not “freezing”, but more like the runner hits a treadmill halfway to 2nd but everything else moves at normal speed and the runner gets easily thrown out despite having a great jump. Great connection the rest of the game, just that weird fluke happens rarely, sometimes at horrible times.

I’m currently in Gold II and I’m now ranked 550

Lost my last 7 Ranked games and I’ve only scored 3 runs in that time. Slump actually extends further, just not as terrible.
I’m already a super weird decent player; I literally never get matched up with someone with a worse average or better ERA than me. But my hitting is just awful right now and just counting the days for my CFB dynasty to start…

No greater tell that you can’t girls than having a naked lady or wiener logo in The Show.

Nobody is “forcing” you to play the program. I’m not a good hitter. .230 avg in Ranked, I don’t think I’ve been matched up with anyone with a lower avg than me in months. And I’m knocking out these moments pretty easily. Some take maybe 6-7 minutes if I’m in a slump, but if you’re not good enough to do these simple moments, the game doesn’t owe you anything. If you’re so bad that you can handle this program, you wouldn’t be able to hit with Sosa on your team anyway so who cares.

Just get a decent deal on cards you want to try and use them. If you don’t like them, sell them and if you’re smart about it, you should at least get your money back and possibly make a few bucks.
