Rube Waddell, I always make a CAP bullpen build since classic bullpen lefties are rare. He was a starter but just one of the crazy characters of the game. Check him out

To me HOF cards should have insane ratings, they're HOFers. Should a prospect be rated higher than a guy making the All Star team? Maybe rate the prospects lower but give them a higher parallel system, kinda like getting called up and performing well. Get a gold rated prospect and play him into a diamond and so forth.

Or you look for a guy standing on the street corner in an overcoat and sun glasses. Heard he sells em cheap

I like future cards but I do think they are rated too high, only a few should be diamond rated and prospect cards only a few gold.
Now about that Jack Leiter diamond...haha

I'm a Ranger fan, love the person Gallo but when he was traded I was bummed for the person go...not the strike outs.
Sorry, when you are constantly reaching 180-200 strike outs you are a detriment to the overall team offense. Just my opinion, never liked striking out becoming so acceptable.

I can see how it can feel a little too much but I think finding the right balance...I have to stop. I can't post anything else until I get this out.
I...hate... showdowns...on a scale of 1-10 I'm at 11 on how much I don't like it. If showdown was taking a shower and fell, I would plug the drain and walk out closing the door behind me.
I know some people probably love them, can do them with their eyes shut holding the controller behind their back. This is just my opinion, I suck at it and even when I win one I don't feel good about it I'm just glad it's over. When I lose one, which is more than not, it feels like a monumental waste of time.
I feel better now have a good day.

Hey, the Rangers don't stink .... ok... yeah they do. Wait till next...no .... we'll still be bad. 2023 though just...no probably not then either.

Not in this game! Good Lord I don't want to try to hit them myself haha but I always loved watching Charlie Hough growing up and Tim Wakefield and R A Dickey. Just watching players flail at that floater was greatness.
The Rangers had a pitcher, he's with Colorado now, who I thought would've had a great knuckle baller name...Chi Chi Gonzalez. Always rocked about a 6 era and who's stuff was never really good, actually reminded me of Dickey when he came up, so to me a perfect person and with that name screams teach him the knuckler! Chi Chi Gonzalez and his dancing knuckle ball.
Just don't understand why you don't see them anymore, Charlie Hough is the Rangers all time wins leader. R A Dickey almost won the Cy Young with the knuckler. To me by law there should be at two active every year haha

You could always play RBI Baseball....hahahahaha

What do you mean we haven't had to sweat anything all year! Baltimore and Arizona gave us a hell of a fight for that number one pick next year. Can you even imagine the stress of running to look at box scores every morning to see if we were keeping up with the losses. Long hard fought season my friend haha

@daddydingerz_psn said in Jack Leiter’s first start:

Just watched his first start in AA. They only let him go 3 innings, but he still managed to get 7 Ks. I was fortunate to get pretty good seats behind home plate, and oh my, this dude can throw. One of the best curveballs I’ve seen in person (best was Zito). Hope he turns out well, because the Rangers could sure use some pitching.

You lucky [censored] haha I'm jealous, can't wait till he's ready to come up

@ignigokt_psn said in Let me pick my countries flag:

The two choices of flags are certainly head scratchers. Makes you wonder what possibly could have been going on in the head of the person who made that decision.

Maybe they couldn't aquire the rights to all the different flags...

@greyosprey4229_xbl said in Mini seasons suck:

I think it is a neat idea, but it needs to have a cap on team OVR. We're only 9 days from early access and 5 days from regular release and I have 2 teams in my Mini Season that are absolutely loaded. Both teams' avg 96 OVR and their lowest rated cards are 92 Tatis and Kuechel. I'm guessing this will only get worse as more people get better cards, resulting in Mini Seasons turning into playing 7 "god squads" that are mostly made up of the same players. If I wanted to play "god squads", I'd play online. I'll finish out the current season to get what rewards I can and to grind some of the FoTF missions, but after that, I'm probably done with this mode.

I agree, just take the using players created teams out of it and use some creativity.
Have teams consist of all classic players, your Ruth, Mays, etc. A all 80s team, 90s, maybe an all prospect team and then a current team. All base cards but as new cards of those players release have them update on those teams. That way early on teams not all god squads but progressively gets better as the game goes on.
Just a idea.

It's ok, it's called passion for something you like. I get frustrated sometimes and pop off myself only to think it over and understand that no, they will not make everyone happy, nor will they release a perfect game no one does much anymore since you can patch things.

To me by far the buggiest game they've released. I'm hanging in there though, just too big a baseball nut I guess.

Happened to me in a conquest game, leading 6-0 top of third vs Mariners. Pop up to first, he drifted close to the dugout and froze.

@luvmyxbox_xbl said in Created Stadiums Cant Be Used:

Yup happened to me several times now.

SDS : do you even look at this forum anymore? Or should we post bugs in the DD forum as that seems to be the most active.

Ouch Babe

I use pulse and it's definitely affected it.

Starting pitcher had to be pulled after 12 pitches, reliver tired after 5, brought in another reliver and he pitched the next two innings... Hunh?
Taylor Heard was SP, Matt Bush RP and then John King RP

I thought you could pick also until I got to the first AL West, being a Ranger fan I obviously couldn't wait to get Seager. Thankfully that's who I got but should've been a choice pack.
