Needs to happen

@foge011 said in Request: No Astros Flashbacks for MLB20:

I think it's time to move on. Taking your anger out on pixels on a screen is not healthy

Disagree. Things are only beginning for Houston.

I want an actual explanation of why catching up to a fastball in events is so much easier to do than ranked.

If I wanted to be pounded mercilessly I'd apply for a job as a garbage can in the Astros dugout.

AL CF LS is now Trout.

F***ing finally!!! Finally!!!!!!!!

It's loaded with packs this time.

Shark map is the most loaded every year.

Only the 2nd year we've had one.

no Sh*t, was it the most loaded last year? yes. Is it the most loaded this year? yes. So every year covers that easier than doing a complete breakdown of the history of conquest maps with detailed statistics showing the percentage of packs to spaces, diamonds to common packs, and their prices before and after the conquest map drops.

Sit on your own nads or something?

Boom

Nobody lol

What? Both are good posters who are nothing like the toxic posters who frequent this board. Something doesn't add up.

That Ikasnu guy made a few too many d*ck jokes I'd wager.

Never mention the no no

99 Jackie is the best 2nd basemen in the game.

Or just don't play at all. Gaming is much more fun without MLBTS being a part of it imo.

Yeah that sucks for sure.

Pitching sucks.

Madden sucks harder than the Astros.

I don't play Madden. I'm wondering how you can compare the two and say one is a better game? It's an entirely different sport.

It’s not sport vs sport, It’s the structure of MUT vs the structure of DD....MUT is way better in so many ways. Just a few examples...

You can earn tons of coins every week just playing the weekly modes - Solo battles & Weekend League...The Show doesn’t offer anything like that. In the show unless you’re a great player that can go 12-0 or make WS or spend tons of time working the market you’re not gonna make a lot of coins easily.

In MUT most good players have a power up card that starts as around a 70 overall that you can spend training on to build them up to a high 90’s card. In DD you are completely at the mercy of what SDS drops to you.

In MUT you can increase your team’s attributes by adding different types of chemistry to the team, stadiums, uniforms & coaches.

And the gameplay...You don’t have the RNG that you have in the show. The only RNG is when non user controlled players like a offensive tackle & a pass rusher are fighting.

All right let's break it down!

SDS made it extremely easy to earn stubs in DD. I haven't worked the market much this year in comparison to previous years and not only do I have Mantle, but I'm very close to Trout as well. Those 3 free 99s from the last few programs? Yeah man they'll gift you 100k in stubs.

CAPS needed a change and what they currently have is imo just fine. Far superior to feeding him people. Also did you forget they had some "rookie to prime" player programs? Carlos Gonzales, Jackie Robinson, Pudge, ect...

You also can't customize your uniforms. Simultaneously you have Inside Edge that works as that same role, while yes it only affects LS cards, its there. Not to mention you can do this with several players with Prestige. This is also a counter point to what you said regarding "power ups".

Okay this is where I laughed the hardest. Let's make some comparisons!

MLB sees you fielding 9 players, and controlling at most 4 simultaneously. The player you control is based on where the ball travels.

When fielding, 4 players are involved in a single routine and that's only with a relay. Interactions with each player are exchanged when the ball is in the air, so between throws control changes. You throw from LF to SS. You control the LF, SS AI sets the alignment, you gain control halfway through the throw and can start your next throw if needed.

You are never out of control aside from AI positioning. Baserunning has more AI control but thats just so it makes baserunning a tad easier and less complex. You still have majority control, even of individual runners.

Madden sees 11 players per team, 22 Players engaged on every single play. Your result on almost every single play is almost entirely composed of RNG. Why is this? Because you only control 1 player.

Your O-Line is 100% AI driven, and every play is dependent on whether or not they hold up their blocks, open gaps, or protect your QB.

You snap the ball, hope for good RNG from your O-line. Here comes the biggest user-input from your QB. Where are you going to throw the ball? This is dependent on your opponents defensive AI RNG. At this point before you even throw the ball at least 20 interactions have occured that are all 100% AI and RNG driven. You can control their movements pre-snap, but after that ball is snapped, you only control 1 player.

So throw the ball to Hopkins, but he has Darius Slay covering him. You control Hopkins, he controls Slay. Coverage ends up tight because your QBs RNG forces a throw off target, and now you have to go for an aggressive catch. Roll the dice cause your opponent is doing the same.

This happens on every play. Madden is 90% AI driven. A guy literally won a tournament with a punter as QB because he did nothing but exploit AI and ran the ball. Madden is a game of animations and RNG and you have 0 control over either of these two things.

If I'm wrong, please state where, how and what really happens.

Imagine complaining non stop but still playing.

Are you Cody Bellinger?

It should be on fire.
