    RE: Game is not fun anymore

    MLB the Show (Home Run Derby) 20.

    Seriously, though: think of how arcade-like the game has become. They add sinkers to pitchers just to make them usable. They make stats for player cards that are average in real life just to throw a bunch of players into the game.

    This year's game, for me, is almost as bad as MLB the Show 18. The content, although arcade-like, was new and different. But there is no incentive to play right now. Why would I spend all this time grinding for WS, or completing the Extreme series, for example, when I could spend 45 minutes grinding easy moments to get absolutely over powered cards like Arozerana (probably misspelled) and Seager?

    In the long run, the content has proven to make the game less exciting.

    The game play is just a disaster, as well. With all the overpowered cards, every game has become home run or bust.

    Maybe my expectations are too high--maybe I expect more of a simulation; but I really do think they need to make it VERY difficult to obtain high-level cards. They need to make pitching more dominant, and more realistic--stop giving sinkers to guys who threw maybe 2 of them in a season just to accommodate the meta of the broken game. Make the game more about baseball--the actual game of baseball--and not about seeing who can hit the most home runs with a god-squad of guys in Shippett stadium.

    RE: Can't Hit With Mantle

    Mantle has a very slow swing, so you need to cheat on high heat. Sit high and react to low offspeed. He crushes the low offspead stuff.

    RE: Best hitting view

    I switched from Strike Zone to Zoom and found that it's easier to get harder hits. I had a 26 hit game on all-star, before jumping back into hall of fame games this ranked season.

    With the extended view and ability to see the batter, it's easier to swing at the ball in accordance with the batter's stance. This creates more swings that are on the early side of good, which seems to be the meta this year.

    RE: Servers down

    Just got an “invalid node state” message in Showdown and got a loss without even entering the game. Stupid.

    RE: SDS, it’s been long enough - revert the patch or fix hitting

    Started a BR run today with a routine fly ball to Mike Trout that he completely whiffed on thanks to crappy animations.

    Also, why do high fastballs seem like they’re coming in at 110 mph, while low changes and sliders appear to be 75 mph? The timing windows are completely erratic.

    Double plays are fun to hit into every time someone is on first.

    I love good/okay hits when the ball is pretty much dead center in the PCI.

    Two outs? How about you allow an extra 4 runs before the game is over?

    Ugh. Just needed to vent. This game is extremely disappointing.

    Freeze Off - How to Report

    Locked in a freeze off in a BR run. I’m in the lead and I’m one win away from nabbing Acuna. Looked through the opponent’s profile and game history and there seems to be a trend of winning games when down or losing. Looks like the opponent uses freeze glitches to get wins.

    One of the opponent’s recent freeze offs against a top player went overnight.

    Is there a way to report this?

    RE: Anyone else on the fence about preordering?

    Setting aside all the issues at release in the past, there is something exciting about the new season--setting up a new team, going over new content, etc. Playing people with golds and low level diamonds is also a nice break from playing god squads. Overall, the pre-order, for me, is more so an experience than anything else.

    I'm going to avoid playing moments out the gate. I wasted a lot of time early in 2019 trying to grind those broken moments.

    The other thing to avoid is buying cards and packs out the gate. Most cards are heavily inflated early. I'm just going to grind with whatever pre-order cards I obtain. I might just put together a competitive silver / gold squad and see how far it takes me.

    I'm thinking of using the initial stockpile of stubs to put together a good BR team, but we'll see. The other option would be grinding to world series right out the gate, but I don't plan on buying stubs or cards, so that might be hard. Nevertheless, that component of strategy is what makes early MLB the Show so much fun.

    RE: If you're gonna pause for 30, 60, and 90 seconds to annoy your opponent...

    The worst is when someone accepts defeat in Battle Royal, but just goofs around, intentionally misses catches, and lets you score 35 runs. There's no ten-run rule in that mode, so you could literally make the game go on as long as you want.

    RE: Bought 50 pack for the hell of it since I haven't done that for 3 years

    Free packs have better odds. Don’t waste your stubs.

    RE: My "to-do" list for day 1 in MLB 21 - please edit

    Go 12-0, sell rewards, get rich, complete collections. Then get into ranked seasons, get world series, sell the reward - maybe sell if I still need collections stubs. Grind for top 50 nameplate throughout the first month.

    RE: 99 Satchel Paige

    The MLB just announced today that the Negro Leagues have been given MLB status for statistical purposes. Maybe you're on to something.

    RE: 10 Things I hope get fixed in The Show 21

    Pickoffs at second base. If you take a lead at second with the defender covering, you will get picked off.

    RE: What new cards you think we'll get in next years game?

    @boomy_91 said in What new cards you think we'll get in next years game?:

    High-Tier Guys:

    Alex Rodriguez
    Pedro Martinez

    Mid-Tier Guys:

    Dan Uggla
    Ryan Howard
    Brad Lidge
    Brian Wilson
    Alfonso Soriano
    Derek Lee
    Carlos Zambrano
    Dontrelle Willis
    Tim Lincecum
    Johan Santana

    Do mid tier guys on your list get 99 cards? Lincecum had 2 or 3 years of 99 cards in the past.

    Why not? There are plenty of random 99 overall players this year - may as well keep them coming!

    I view high and mid-tier as more of "hype" thing that anything else.

    RE: A few questions about BR

    Honestly, the way the game plays on All Star this year, getting to 12-0 is more about luck than skill. A ranked season goon can lose to a lesser-skilled opponent just because of how easy it is to hit on All Star.

    RE: I have regressed in hitting

    Your monitor's response time is 4 millisecond. You might try getting a one millisecond monitor. It appears the monitor isn't necessarily made for gaming.

    RE: Whos batting leadoff for you?

    Hanley Ramirez. He kills it for me.
