Cobb and Hornsby were great cards when they were in the game.

I make a post about selling cards under quick sell price and then there are a couple of numbskulls that have to bring politics into the thread. Isn’t this game supposed to be a release from all of that stuff? Amazing.

The showdowns are on veteran and so fast to get through. I don’t see the problem

Sure, they're on Veteran, but really Veteran + and higher, with Sliders cranked the way they crank 3K's in one inning Moments. They obviously crank the batter aggressiveness. I did a Charisma one where Machado flailed away!
Fielders field like they're on HOF/Legend. We're not stupid, or bad players. If I ever get good at PCI placement, I can be a serious player online, if I wanted to do RS, which I still have a low desire to play. I like online team play instead, in NHL, and the REC room in NBA 2K. That is more fun than playing solo here, imo.

This^^^^^^. Yeah they say Veteran but just look at the size of the PCI in feedback after a swing. No way that's the real size of the PCI on Veteran. Took me 8 or 9 tries to finish WBC Showdown and took me 1 try to do Charisma. Some are harder than others and some drafted players are better than others. But if you are going to call it Veteran, don't use HOF Sliders. We are on to you SDS LOL.

I’m 92 (71 really) and I want a 99 Feller and Walter Johnson. Why are these guys not relevant anymore?

99 Ty Cobb
99 Rogers Hornsby
99 Bob Feller
99 Walter Johnson
99 Tom Seaver
I miss all these guys in the game. I know Feller and Seaver have 88-90’s but who uses those?

@BLAISEBLAISE_PSN

I hit better righty on righty or lefty on lefty when the card has extreme pull tendencies. Otherwise I prefer hitting left handed. Always have since the game first came out. Don’t know why either.

@Rabid55Wolverine said in There is no joy in Mudville because Mighty Casey couldn't swing the bat.:

I buy my controller at game stop and now any time I have any issues, I just bring it back, pay 11 bucks and get a brand new one. Ps5 controllers are flat out garbage. If the stick drift doesn't get you, something else will. Get one at gamestop and buy the year protection and never pay for a new controller again. Well full price anyways.

I look at it as a membership fee for my controller. Gone through too many to count since I bought the ps5. NHL does a number on them pushing in the left stick

I actually did that but the return policy is only good for one new controller a year. Now if you pay for the protection policy each time you return a bad controller then yeah you won't have to pay full price. Still a lousy deal that these controllers are so poorly made.

@The_Canuckler said in Showdown:

Showdowns are quick easy ways to get program points, they’re literally just on veteran smh

Although you are right in your assessment, I would argue that even though it says Veteran, the size of the PCI in feedback would indicate different. At least in the WBC Showdown it was way smaller than Veteran should have been. Sliders man....Sliders

Call my crazy but I’m close to having Bench parallel 5 and he’s been great for me.

Obviously a little biased but it feels nice to be able to use him and have success with him this year given his swing type held him back in previous years

Idk if his swing is different or what but Johnny rakes this year

Bench actually has a great swing this year. He can turn on up and in and has lots of power to the alleys.

Agree, it’s crazy the pop he has to right-center. Even more satisfying when your opponent thinks it’ll be easy to jam you using Bench, then you turn on something for a no doubter to LF.

Can’t wait for his 99/99s?

Another thing I have noticed is that the 92 Mays can turn on inside pitches this year also. So a 99 Mays and a 99 Bench will be beyond awesome.

I played the Show from the beginning through 23 and quit for obvious reasons. Downloaded 26 on the 1st since it was free. I’m kinda enjoying the game after a while. Any of you here from the golden years?

Good to see y’all. Funny thing I am 71 now and moved from Texas (ugh) to Indiana after I retired last year. In about 3 weeks time I have a lineup of 99’s and all but Altuve are P5 lol. I’ve been playing Co-op with a friend and we only have 2 losses. Yeah y’all remember CardinalBird5 from back in the day. He was the top player online I think until 18 the softball version came out and he quit. I still think 17 was the last great game for online play even if late was great lol.

I have found that playing this year’s game, I am better off playing Conquest on Veteran or All Star because I get better putches to hit. I guess the days of padding your stats on Rookie are over. I also have noticed that playing the event on AS the pitches are slower than it is on AS Co-op. That may be due to the pitchers in the event are Bronze but that shouldn’t make the pitches be slower.

@NotesOfJohn_PSN

Exactly what I was thinking

Flores is a Houston boy so I like him a lot

Each card I think works differently for user. For instance I finished Garret Anderson on the first pitch. On the other hand Joe Torre took me forever to finish. It’s just the nature of the beast how hard or easy each card works for you. Generally I hate hitting with guys that have a closed stance. Moments for me have always been hit or miss pardon the pun.

@BearDownGoBlue_PSN
I absolutely crush with any Lindor card I have ever used. Dunn as well. Funny how that works huh? Like minds I guess lol

99 Bregman
99 Andrew Jones
99 Altuve is just a pull hitter

@Jacob151167_XBL

It was Artie Moreno’s idea to change it. About time he was gone.

It’s easy to see after skipping the last two years that this game which used to be great is now nothing more than micro transactions now

Verlander is great. I got his 97 AS card and went to town getting him to P5
