I believe there is a small percentage of guys that can use the lag from MLB stadiums to their advantage. Maybe some guys don't even realize there is lag, but they get used to it and it becomes a sort of advantage.

Oak Street Park--short porch and great batter's eye.

Han ram is the best bat at shortstop. I personally love his swing. Defense can let you down but he will surprise you with the plays he makes.

I play Hanley at second base, and even out of position, he makes most of the plays for me.

Just in general, Gwynn and Eric Davis are fun to use.

I’m just wondering what would benefit me the most . Power swinging or normal .

I use all three depending on the situation. When I am in a slump, contact seems to get me out of it. Have hit bombs using contact.

Underrated strategy.

Felix is trash, it's just the principle of bringing in starter after starter.

I like the idea of being able to pick your starting pitcher, but it doesn't work in practice. Guys shouldn't be able to use all starters, every game--especially when SDS is giving away the best starters in the game. I just like to see bullpen strategy too.

Had a guy pitch four starting pitchers during one game yesterday. I am assuming he uses every starting pitcher, every game, and pitches them 2-3 innings per game. There has to be a way to stop this. I like the idea of being able to pick my starter, but it's just too exploitable.

FOTF Tatis has been unreal for me. Most likely going to stay at SS for the rest of the year.

Dude rakes. His stats suggest that he has reverse splits, but I find he's good versus RHP and LHP. I hit as well with him as I do Correa, Gregorious, etc.

I can't find my opponents in my game history, in order to message anyone. I turned off my messages after a couple toxic messages but I'm with someone else above, it's good entertainment to get the nasty messages.

If you are struggling with hitting the fastball (always late), you need to play on a monitor.

Ball bounces out of Chipper's glove, and back in (totally unrealistic). Mookie doesn't lock onto fly balls (Mookie is a 99 fielder).

How about this for you, fielding is no better post-patch--SDS should just stop messing with it because they're just going to make it worse.

They are making fielding worse (and pitching). I think SDS has proven they generally make the problems worse with patches, not better. The games are what they are. It's just sad because hitting feels okay this year.

I am rated 500 something, and I am facing god squad after god squad. Now, after this patch, Sheffield, Biggio, and Mantle, they can just foul everything off, and if it isn't a bomb, it'll be some bleeder that is the result of late/jammed/early/rolled timing.

I have never seen the fielding this bad. I never imagined that SDS could mess up the fielding. This, coupled with the ability of the aforementioned hitters to get bleeders just makes it very difficult. I have Mookie Betts in right field making terrible plays. I have Gleyber Torres at second base, not able to field routine grounders.

Did they nerf changeups? Almost every time I throw a changeup, it gives me red and the thing is an absolute hanger (post-patch, and analog).

This year feels more pay to play than the last few.

Sandberg--he swings a wet noodle for me.

Face of the Franchise, Fernando Tatis Jr.

I was like 25-4 to start off the year (I’m now 30-13 or something). Some guy beats me and messages me “how are you 25-4?” How do you think? I’ve won 25 games and lost 4. I was playing well and playing some guys who weren’t too good—getting a lot of early quits—the guy went on with nasty messages and stuff. I guess my point is that I had to turn off messages because I waste time and energy arguing with guys who have nothing better to do you than message me nasty things—I’ll never understand it.

Weird that I get a loss, when the other guy lagged out, and I look through his game history and almost all of his wins come with him having a slim lead, and the game ends in the fourth or fifth inning. He seems to play out most of his close loses, but not when he's ahead. So as long as you lag out with the lead, you're good, you get the win? Really sad that people resort to this. Just play the game.

@YinzWins said in I’m done with ranked seasons.:

The game will be great once early okay’s arent homeruns for people below 80 power and once your outfielders lock onto fly balls and not get animations like they are going to overrun routine fly balls. And last one when almost every pitcher you use stops throwing down the middle when you don’t even want the ball in the strike zone on certain counts.

If you are having trouble locking onto fly balls, try using the high view camera for fielding.
