Offline gameplay has gotten better by the year..thanks SDS 🙂

Offline DD, franchise and RTTS not so much lol

Dude what are you talking about?, playing regular Franchise offline with a good mature set of sliders with updated proper rosters, not SDS ones is mint.

But the trade logic still not good, progression/regression broke, etc.

Dude I'm not a true Franchise player...I'm a Season player...I only play one season per year and I have 30 Team Control and set injuries before season starts and let it go after that, whatever happens to the league for injuries happens. As for Trades, I control all trades, I mimic real life...as for call ups and 40 man roaster stuff for the other teams I don't handle that..the CPU handles that stuff. The only real work is the trade deadline but no big deal, that takes like an hour to do.

A guy messaged me and said first to score wins. I said sure. He was up first so had the advantage. He hid a double and then a bomb. I quit. Not sure if he would have done the same. But I’m not winning any nine game runs. So...not complaining or judging. Just sharing.

That's honestly not a bad idea. I'm Already sick of these two inning games. The bad thing is, like you said, who knows if the other guy would keep his word.

Little Billy has Nate Pearson?

I didn't think injuries were on in ranked seasons, but I just had my starter get a concussion in the first inning and have to be pulled.

Pitchers can still get hurt. If it’s first inning and a scoreless game, the courtesy is usually to send a friendly quit in this situation. Last year I had a game where Joey gallo hit a hard chopper and it hit Bret Cecil in the face and he fell over and started convulsing, it was kinda funny

It was the second batter of the game, and Forest Whitley got taken out by 111 mph. I offered a friendly and he declined. I put Ohtani in who proceeded to get rocked lol

HOF plays better the AS, just like last year. Only difference is pitch speeds are faster.

Seriously I think they took the lineout code from last year and applied it to perfect/perfect ground balls. If you want a double play, hit a perfect/perfect ground ball

Generally a ball in the 90mph range can get out to right or left. Your looking at 100+ to get out to the gaps and center field. But at Shippet I had a ball that I believe remember to be under 85mph get out to right and I was like 🧐

ever since this last patch my bullpen has been worthless. Outside of one inning that I know i can get three outs from Chapman there is no one I trust.

@Johnny_Coletrain said in FOTF recommendations:

Ozzie is a stud too!

Ozzie is a stud! He has way more power than is attributes would make you believe. Great swing.

Some pitches directly in the middle of the PCI result in good/okay, while the next can be slightly off center and result in Squared up or perfect. This is a mystery to all.

@bhall09 said in Pitchers' Energy Regeneration:

Pitchers only regain energy if they are in your lineup and you play games that you dont use them.

Dang, wish this wasn't the case and any pitcher you didn't use regained energy at the same rate. Thanks for the information.

To be fair, the relievers available either A- arent very good yet (Fingers, Gagne and Eck are the only real reliable ones), or B- are live series relievers that people have faced literally thousands of times (chapman, Hader, Osuna in particular. The only dominant lefty bullpen arm is locked behind Trout. The best right handed reliever requires you to pass on either Kluber or Newhouser. There just arent many good Pen arms . For starters you have Kluber, Newhouser, Pearson, Kopech, Mize, Whitley, Oswalt and Scherzer to choose from

Some people suck at the game and will use whatever tactic they can to try and get an advantage. I hopped on 19 for a couple of event games yesterday and ran into a bronze level 20 something who was doing the same thing. Luckily he couldn't hit so I eventually beat him, but it went to extra innings since my good/goods and good/squared ups kept resulting in line outs. It's just baseball though since good/squared up fastballs down the middle to Babe Ruth from subpar relievers often resulted in weak fly outs...

It's super frustrating when you're clearly better than a cheeser, but the game decides to make things interesting. The important thing is to not let them see your frustration, and to not give them an easy win since that's what they want.

Download is usually around 48 hours before release. Since yours doesn’t release until 4 days after you’ll probably be able to download it 48 hours before you can play. The reason everyone else could is because with early access on their version it was under 48 hours away
