that the amount of hot pink in your team colors directly correlates to how cheesy and toxic of a player you are. Also, coincidentally, to how small your micropenis is. Heard it straight from a scientist at the science store.

Ranked seasons, all star difficulty. I’ve been selling out on fastballs like it’s legend speed and am getting “late” feedback. I’m swinging at a cutter literally right down the middle of the plate and am completely swinging through it getting “too early” feed back with my pci directly over the ball. It’s driving me crazy I can’t seem to figure out how to adjust to anything this year. Timing never seemed so bad before.

You literally described exactly how my last game went. This happens all too frequently to be just coincidence and getting “beat” by a “better player”

Lol I came across this situation and thought the same thing. But what happens is the runner on base ends up being replaced with the previous batter in your lineup that got out most recently and then you bat with Rizzo

Jesus Christ people will complain about literally anything. I guarantee you’re the only person that feels this way or even thought about this at all.

In all seriousness, I’m switching to pure analog hitting haha. I made World Series with it last year when a new season started I did it just to try it out and It happened to work out okay. Maybe I just am too stoned most of the time to catch up and do two things at once?

@CanucksNoCups said in Stealing online vs anyone remotely good is impossible.:

Its realistic for a super speedy guy to take an extra step leadoff it's what they do. It's not realistic to throw to that base 30 times

No, what’s realistic is the runner wouldn’t be taking that much of a lead after a couple throws. Your argument is absolutely terrible, and I hope you get picked off and thrown over at all game and every game.

Definitely agree with most of this. Not having much fun with this years game...I played alot online last year and definitely had fun playing even with the bad hitting because there was always other things to keep me busy than just playing ranked. Now I find myself just waiting for more offline playable stuff to be added to the game so that I don’t go get frustrated and annoyed with ranked games. It sucks to know that I’ll never be able to use any prestige versions of any cards, but I guess that’s the game we get this year.
I had sooo much fun playing the first week before the patch, I played so much ranked the first few days...the timing felt normal and everyone was getting rewarded for hits....and then everything changed immediately after it. Now I want nothing to do with playing anyone competitively, ESPECIALLY with how many fielding and base running issues there are. It’s just not for me anymore.

Wow it's impressive that you were able to last that long. I have a 15 inning limit, I will always message the other player at 15 and ask them if they would like to friendly after I give them a last chance to hit and go ahead if they can. If they are home they'll score and walk off or if they are away i'll just quit and give them the W. If not, we friendly and get over it. I just can't play games that long

Runners on, routine fly balls and my outfielders are literally stopping in front of them and allowing them to drop before fielding. I would have chalked it up to being just a random weird animation if it happened once but its happening frequently and am curious if this is a fielding animation problem that others are experiencing. Anyone?

Is his underwear Dun ta duns or Boxers in his new verson?

You should consider a career in comedy

Is the windup worse? (Longer or not as smooth?)

I'm not sure yet, the ball comes in from a bit of a side angle and he has a very small leg kick after he releases the pitch. I used that card to much last year, I noticed it immediately.

Interesting. Ya me too. He was a mainstay for me last year

Last year the right part of his body moved kind of in a 90° angle after releasing the pitch, with both his feet pointing towards 1B in a way. That made him very deceptive imo. Now he just lands his right foot next to his left pointing to home plate.

Agree, last year his card was way more similar to his motion and windup in real life, and I loved it. This year is totally different, and changes his effectiveness I think

Rollie has been a god for me. Not sure how he could be that bad for you. I’m 2-0 with 19 saves an a 0.35 ERA. He hasn’t walked one batter and struck out like 70.

I think you missed The point

The hitting may have been great week 1, but the game was not perfect at all. The pitching issues and fielding issues were all there still, so lets stop saying that the game didn't need to be touched at all. But i do agree that they significantly under delivered their product after all of their hype. Perfect perfect hitting being the prime example, as well as "defensive urgency". I have yet to see one defensive play or animation, ESPECIALLY in clutch situations, that seems the slightest bit urgent.

you do realize that it has everything to do with the rights they have to the players, right? they can't just put whoever they want in the game at any time

Timing window issue, as well as his weird overhand delivery. it makes his fastball seem like its appearing in the zone almost immediately after it leaves his hand. But they just tweeted an update to the timing window is happening tonight, so hopefully you should have a slightly better chance at hitting it if youre looking for it.

That's correct, none of it counts. Anything that happens in game is negated, I believe.

Don’t drag micropenises into this. Ask any nurse in a neonatal unit and they’ll tell you 0.75” is roughly average, so I don’t even know where you’re getting your facts.
