This game is why I own a PS4

I have owned every single show game that has come out and never really understood the hype around using a monitor. Bought one three weeks ago and oh my God... it absolutely changes the game and your ability to time up the ball. I didn’t even think it was possible because I was so used to the horrendous reaction time on a television and was striking out so much.

The point: if you play this game a lot, dropping a couple hundred dollars on a monitor is so worth it.

Thankfully I’ve grown out of my habits of being like Puig and launching the controller across the room. A much more calm flipping up in the air and letting it hit my ceiling and land on the bed.

I am the same way, but this case was different. Had my girlfriend chirping in my ear/threatening to turn of the PS4 all game while getting completely shut out when I was two games away from WS tier. Never getting married; my MLB The Show career would be over.

My buddy (AJudd09) and I (W1LDB1LL01) are looking for an active league, we keep joining leagues but sit there for weeks only for these leagues to never get past the starting phase.

Lets just say you have every player on the game unlocked....who is your every day lineup based on your own preference and playing experience? Feel free to add who you think the best pitcher on the game is in your lineup

• 40-16 online

• I don't dashboard

• I dont hold R2 before my opponent delivers the pitch

That's my resume

Larry Walker..smacks both lefties and righties

I’m looking for an active/competitive league. I’m on PS4 as well!

What are some batting stances you guys prefer? I have started hitting really poorly with my created player and his attributes are unreal with the equip. I have on him. I have tried using the stances of some of my favorite guys to hit with on the game and I am still batting below .250 with him.

I’m looking for a competitive/active league. I’m on almost every night on PS4.

I’ll join an ongoing one if need be as well. Just want something I can do on the side from DD

@MLBTHEJOE said in Preferred Batting Stance with Created Player:

You’ve got to try this stance. I swear Veteran stance 151 is insanely good! I don’t use a cap. But for one of my RTTS players he’s a Switch hitter. It’s Jonny Gomes stance. Even though Jonny Gomes was a righty, batting left handed with his stance is great

I have been playing this game forever but sadly I dont know what "cap" is? explain

Update Nevermind I figured it out

@KommanderNKeef9 said in Shortstop help:

Sounds crazy, but Vidal Brujan has outplayed every single SS I’ve tried out this year. Glitchy swing that can put the ball outta the yard, gets to every groundball, and steals bags easily. Been my leadoff since he dropped, and a huge part of my WS run!

Could not agree more, has batted lead off for me every single game and is wayyy better than what his attributes state. One of the most consistent hitters on my team

This may sound dumb but are there any preferences on controllers that are good/advantageous in the show? I did not know if there is a specific controller or controller add-on's that would be worth a purchase. My controllers all end up getting worn out or sometimes Gronk-spiked against my hardwood floor

Live series Acuna Jr.

Yeah you get the choice pack at 40 wins.. BR also implemented a new rewards system

Probably trying to keep the Xbox'rs around

@jahlove1722_xbl said in Buxton or Acuna?:

Not interested in collecting cards really and also don’t know the benefit of that....

99 Chipper Jones, 99 Tom Glavine, 99 Alfonso Soriano, 99 David Ortiz and like 20 other diamonds if you collect all MLB 40 man rosters.

You either pull a Trout and grind..... or drop $1400-1500 on stubs

Lee Smith without a doubt. He's my favorite RHP out of the pen

Mets:

Tom Seaver
David Wright
Darryl Strawberry
Mike Piazza

Honorable Mention for 8 years down the road: Jacob DeGod

16 pitch at bat with no pci ability from opponent...bloop on very late timing over 1st/3rd base

@w1ldb1ll01_psn said in Universal DH?:

Firstly, I hope they don’t add the DH because I think adding the universal DH game kills all strategy that’s used around hitting with the pitcher…

But are they planning to? It would be kind of weird if the game is compliant with real life MLB (universal DH, no base runner on second in extra’s, etc.)

You're saying it would be weird if the game was compliant with MLB rules? Shouldn't it be? Why not just make up rules?

It's s little silly that they still can't have Ohtani as a 2 way player, despite marking him as such.

I made a typing error, I meant the game should be compliant with real life league rules !
