Top banter.

I'm hitting .210. You're a god!

Early release on purpose. Dot every time.

Well, I guess I might be able to do some stage 1 showdowns now instead of just trying to grind along through MTO to get into stage 2.

Praise be!

@Hikes83 said in Stage 1 showdown updated:

At this rate, they should just give out the tickets

This has to be based on trends. If new players aren't bothering then they won't be able to access stage 3. It's not about making it a cakewalk, it's about engaging a wider player base.

Dude I am 44. Did you start gaming at like 2yrs?

As a matter of fact yes (I am 43), Space Invaders, Asteroids, Pac Man, or my all time favorite (Donkey Kong). Much simpler time, no worries about being told to “git gud”, being hashtag wrecked or other crazy [censored].

My Dad was a hobbyist, we had a bit of money and he had a dedicated room with all of the aforementioned game cabinets among pinball machines, Atari, C64....

Only score I cared about was my previous best. Personally, it is hard for me to relate to a gamer mentality, or perhaps I see things differently.

JK on the Paxil comment, just another witticism that clearly missed the mark, I meant no offense

"git gud". God I loathe that comment. If a blind man told you her couldn't see would you say, "Really, I see perfectly well."? If an insomniac told you they had trouble speaking, would you reply with, "Really? My head falls asleep as soon as it hits the pillow!"?

Not at all trying to be sarcastic or an a$$ at all, but why play a game so much if you’re probably going to get burnt out of it so quick when there’s so much more content to come? And you said you don’t really play online but you should honestly try battle royale it’s extremely fun

I was under quarantine now I am not.

And battle royale is not my cup of tea

You did well in that time. It's quite an achievement and you can go back to work with your head held high!

Yeah I also can play many single player games I missed during these three months

I love the Show but I just played it too much this year

I feel you. I know 'The Last of Us II' will mean many more hours devoted to gaming but I can get so much more out of compelling single-player stories. I can play at my own pace too and not feel like the top of the DD mountain is getting incrementally higher the higher I get!

@Soucy81 said in That's it for this year guys:

I can see that happening regardless of content to come. This quarantine really helped the game in people playing, but on the flip side of that coin it'll burn people out faster. As an "essential" worker I'm working 5-6 days a week. Add into that time to spend with family after work, housework to do on your actual days off, and any other interests you may have. For those in my situation a lot of our time is already chewed up elsewhere, not a lot to go into playing this game. Helps the burnout factor. I'd say I probably get to play maybe 4-7 hours a week on average.

With a family, I've been playing far too much these last few 'lockdown' months. Some recent personal issues made me lose interest for a day (only a day! lol) but I logged on last night to try some of the Vizquel moments and couldn't bring myself to care. I can see myself gradually winding down now.

Drive by trucker is just amazing at the game so it doesn’t effect him. But I definitely agree. I had never lost a stage 2 showdown. But I’m only 50-50 on them now. Just lost a final showdown when I was only down 11-15. Didn’t get my first hit until 4 outs left. So many good-good and good-squared up outs.

I’m really nothing special at the game lmao.

Stage 2 showdowns are as easy as it gets.

No one can correctly say what is easy or difficult for other people. We get it. You find it easy. So what? You are not everyone.

Many, many people find them easy.

And technically, with Stage 2 being on Veteran, they are easy. It’s an easy difficulty.

Many, many people find them difficult. Live and let live man.

The more you face him the better you get at reading him. The more runs you score, the quicker he's pulled.

I can't get rid of Posada because I bat so well with him. But I'll have a look at Torre.

@tylerslikewhoa said in Why is this game so hated? Voice you complaints here.:

The main issue is the community. So many want to blame the game when just aren't as good as they think

Come on, man. There's plenty of top players with legitimate complaints too.

Now here' a post worth sharing!

Ive pulled trout 4 times this year

Not helpful.

@Mac_James707 said in Replaying your Home Runs Online:

You don’t want to play me. I replay every homer when I’m the home team. I only pick Kaufman stadium as my stadium. Kaufman stadium plays epic orchestral music after every homer by the home team. The music continues to play during replay giving it a dramatic effect even if you are down by 6 runs and hit your first homer lol.

A guy raged quit cuz I came back in the 5th down 7-0 and I kept replaying every homer lol. The no doubt strut with the epic orchestral music during replay is just so funny and dramatic and throws salt in their wound. He messaged me I was the shittiest player he ever played haha.

Whatever floats your boat.

It's not that deep man. SD added this feature to the game. They have umpty-umpteen HR animations too. Just move on and use it as motivation to win the game.

I wanted him. I bought him. I still suck. The end.

Use them to grind innings for TAs. It's drudgery but might as well make it work for you.
