Personally, I would rather have to get 1000 hits with Brooks Robinson than play showdown.

I agree. Showdown is needlessly frustrating. I’m young but that stuff will give me high blood pressure, it’s just that bad.

They’ve never required showdown in previous programs in MLB 20 (which, as an offline player, I was thankful for) and didn’t require them in MLB 21’s programs until this one. This is what irks me. Why of all programs do we need to do a showdown when we hadn’t needed to previously? Why the change? It boggles the mind.

IIRC they required showdown in the Extreme content last year if you wanted the three rewards (Yelich was one of them, can't remember the main reward)

True, I forgot to mention that. But that’s the Extreme program, where requiring showdown makes sense. Other than extreme they didn’t require showdown for programs before.

I use Up, up, down , down, left, right, left, right, b, a , start.

A, B, A, C, A, B, B... wait until you pop this baby in. Whole new game

HA! The old MK blood code LMAO

Yep but that is already an option.

The group of names there are really nothing alike IRL lol
Billy Hamilton couldn't hit his way out of a paper bag.. Gwynn would go 3/4 on acid

@gixxerryder750 said in Grinding TA innings - Things learned:

Depends on the card though...Torii Hunter XBH for example...Hit 4 Doubles in my first 4 Plate Appearances. HR shortly after. Edgar Martinez...Weak Flyballs everywhere. I put all my Mission guys at the front of my lineup too so they get the most PA possible.

Yea idk its random. Just finishing up the AL East and the homer mission was easy with the flashback Sanchez and Davis but alot harder with Jimmie Foxx

Yeah the Dalbec one sucked. I was yelling at my TV, hey how am I supposed to hit it over the monster when all this b u m can do is hit it to the monster.

Bobby Bombs????

Classic user here. No issues for me.

The boost in points makes me think that season 2 will probably come end of the month or early june.

Haha, the sad part is I know you are right.

Makes no sense. Perfect pci would be the ball in the middle of it, maybe slightly center high for slightly more loft.

Perfect timing means [censored] near straight barrel at impact.

I hit a good,with the pci off the ball, and it was a laser shot with piazza that hit the upper deck at brewer park. If anything that was perfect/perfect, it was gorgeous. Then you get a PP that is an out and you have no idea what you are supposed to be doing when you swing.

The results table for the timing and pci locations seems to be all jumbled up.

If SDS could fix the servers I would then love if they checked these tables and made sure no weirdness was present.

@worldrevolver said in Please add the ability to Custom Practice with your DD team:

Couple legends and previous mlb years player cards I would love to be able to practice with.

The custom practice mode is amazing but we should be able to use our DD squad as well.

Would be sweet to practice with diamond giambi or alomar, eric davis, babe ruth etc. Thinking of getting piazza and watched a few vids saying he has a slow swing that takes some getting used to. That would be simple if our DD squad was selectable in custom practice.

PES does this. You go to your profile and save/export your current myteam squad to a custom team and when you go to practice mode you can load the team into that mode.

Not exactly the same but you can customize the rosters and then just use that team for practice. Load it up with legends or players you want to try in DD. Their attributes won’t be the same but you’ll get an idea of their swing type.
