Not often do we get matched up with a forum participant. I know it was just an event game, but that was a ton of fun, brother!

it'll be a whale of a time!

It sure will! It always gives me a porpoise to play.

@ericulous1_psn said in Daily player debate: Finest Woodruff 99, Finest Burnes 99, ASG Peralta 99:

New topic: which Brewers Ace is your favorite and why? Woodruff, Burnes or Peralta?

So far, I'm liking Woodruff Finest a lot. Quick windup and delivery, 117 H/9, great velocity and 3 active quirks assuming I finally understand what active quirks are hahaha.

Peralta was a staple for a while with another whip crack delivery and high H/9 and K/9 attributes. I have yet to debut Burnes but I'm hoping he leads the pack.

You?

For me, it’s Burnes by a landslide. I like your spirit!

@oreorockstar_psn said in Toxic Freeze-Off Opponent:

Dude sounds like a major A**. If you want to teach him a lesson, call his bluff. Otherwise move on. Records mean nothing. I was 61-10 at one point but 4 of my losses were disconnects or freeze losses, but I knew strong WS players would work me..

Than I took a bunch of losses going for Trout immediately at start of RS playing goon after goon. So I have seen guys with .500 records that will destroy “smurfs” with 52-8 records who strategically play their RS games to keep a pretty record. At that point I realized it didn’t matter, no one cares.

Wyatt, my record absolutely matters to me, but not for flexing. I play this game purely for fantasy and immersing myself for joy, so it would kill my blood flow to play a conquest game and see a sub .500 record in front of my god squad lol

I agree though. If I see a 58-8 record, it screams out “not elite” to me as well as “kindred spirit” lmao

I just want to say Happy holidays to everyone and I hope 2022 will bless you with a good flow to your life. Wishing you and your families good health and happiness.

You are one of the good ones in here, my friend! Hope you have a wonderful holiday and look forward to seeing you on here in the new year.
@MRAD2010_XBL

Definitely one of the quality ones. I remember when you shared your experience and the Bruce Lee quote. Cheers, my man…

@ericulous1_psn said in Daily player debate: Top 3 Catchers:

New topic: Top 3 catchers in the game. As always, feel free to chime in on the first few topics as well.

Day 4: Who are the top 3 catchers in the game for you?

Since the responses will likely be similar, I’ll answer with the best bang for your buck (BR style):

1: 84 Keibert Ruiz
2. 84 Yermin Mercedes
3. 80 Jason Castro

I'll play a non-toxic player. That is the main reason I don't play online, I don't want to have to deal with them. Just a word of warning though...I suck! I hit with Directional and pitch with Pulse. You can verify that with @write2shawn_MLBTS (he's mercy'd me a few times). This is my first year of DD, so I hope to be better next year (I'm a ton better than I was at the beginning of the year).

You were a ton better within a couple weeks last year, so I can imagine how much better you are now.

@ikasnu_psn said in I'm a better baseball player than Trai Turner and Hunter Renfrow.:

Facts. Undisputed facts.

There’s a chance I’m better than Will Smith and Carlos Santana.

@oreorockstar_psn said in I'm still in shock and don't know what happened.:

Way to battle to the end. He opens the door , you walked then it and then closed it.

And Chuck, hate it when guys bring in new pitchers in middle of the count. Pretty low rent.

Yeah, it was definitely somewhere in between weak and cheesy; not cool either way.

@arvcpa_psn said in So, what are you working on these days?:

Me? I’m messing around with cameras. I use Strike Zone, but I’m trying every one for one game each (offline only - I’m not that crazy).

You?

Haha… I’ve done this as well. Trouble is, you think it works for you after a pretty good sample size. Then you finally test it out online and it’s back to the drawing board lol

I am 100% sure that I will go back to SZ. So far, the one I've had the most success with is SZ Offset, oddly.

SZ Offset is awesome. It just can hinder you badly with same-handed hitters.

@oreorockstar_psn said in New God Squad:

There is no true answer to give outside of construct it with a combination of the top 99 guys you enjoy using but the lay well with at same time. There are some top “end game” cards that just don’t work for people while others are incredible with them

Yup. Through about 50 at-bats each online, I’m batting .180 with Trout and .455 with Kyle Tucker. At some point, it starts to mess with my head when they go up to the plate.

@gixxerryder750 said in Opponent's Rating:

You're supposed to be matched up with people with similar records I believe...They attach a rating system so someone attempting to go 12-0 can't face off against someone that is 0-1. Got nothing to do with the difficulty.

So, whether it goes all the way to the right until you get an opponent or if you get an opponent right away; you'll still be matched up with someone that has roughly the same record?

Wondering because I played a few games last night and wasn't getting a matchup until after it went all the way to the right.

Except for the one person I played who was a complete tool; it felt like my opponents werent that very good.

Speaking from just my experience, your chances of getting a goon increase exponentially after 9-0. Until then, it feels totally random.

@write2shawn_MLBTS weird question, but how many wins are you up to now with lefty grove? you beat me with him a couple weeks ago in the event to get to like 67-5 or something like that with him lol, impressive

What’s up brotha… yeah, I remember playing you!
I pitched Lefty like a million times in this event and he’s nasty! Thanks… so cool to see someone here who you played.

@thegoaler_psn said in Babe Ruth:

I was so angry and let down by him that I sold him. It was kind of hard because he's looking at us on his card. That 'don't you sell me look!'

LMAO 🤪

@omegaeod_psn said in Offline players:

Are there any offline players that are looking to play online but don’t because of the toxicity? I do enjoy competitive play and would like to play a few games to practice on differing difficulty levels online without any toxicity involved. Just straightforward online baseball play.

Edit: PS5 console

I’m always game (nighttime after all the responsibilities and weekend mornings).

My PSN ID is different from my MLBTS ID (no clue how to fix that): EthereumMoonshot
