I would still go for FOTF and eventually future stars. If you have a bunch of random cards saved, exchange for affinity. I would spend extra stubs on player just to exchange them. I found that silver cards are the most efficient stub to exchange point ratio. 7-9 points per stub spent is pretty good.
Otherwise you’re spending maybe a million or more. And with affinity you’re getting some decent rewards along the way
So the meter triggers as soon as runners start to advance, and doesn’t trigger when the runner retreats. But that means the que to alert player of advancing runner (perspective change) happens AFTER the meter actually begins. So the first time the player actually sees the meter in fielding perspective, the meter is already red.
So technically, the player has already made an error even before he’s qued, by camera change, that a meter has triggered.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve punished cheesy base running only for my pickoff throw to sail because there’s a throw meter on about 25% of throws. And the camera only changes perspective after the ideal release point.
So technically there is HIDDEN throw meter that SOMETIMES triggers that doesn’t reveal itself until after a literal jump cut. What am I missing?
It’s already hard enough to manage base runners with infielders missing tags and no bad jumps. But having the only direct counter to stealing (slide step, pitch out=indirect) be an unreliable gamble neuters defenses to the mercy of base runners.
Each time it happens I have to stop playing for a week or so in fear of reverting to my 12 year old hulk-smash form.
I hope not. I wouldn’t think there are too many people who turn on their Playstation just to stare at a simulated pitcher throw 1500 warmup pitches
Played this guy in ranked and went up quickly 4-1 in the second inning. Beans two of my players and gets warnings to both benches. Pauses and runs down the timer then asks for friendly quit. I say no, obviously, he immediately throws the next pitch at my pitcher’s head and gets ejected.
“Your opponent has entered the Quick Menu.
Please wait....”
Forever apparently. I waited for 30 minutes before having to close application and taking the loss.
I guess there is no timer for picking a replacement for an ejected pitcher.
