I am I the only person surprised that Alan Dershowitz isn’t his lawyer

I think getting a loss is fair. No more needed. If i am killing a dude 8 nothing in the 7th, I actually prefer they quit. There is no fun or suspense for either person. Personally, being behind by a lot won’t make me quit. When I am hitting good there is no lead I can’t overcome. You just need to have patience. However, some days I don’t have that patience and just want a quick fun game not a grind

I have actually quit winning or losing when I just don’t have the patience to get through a 9 inning or sometimes extra inning game. Also, if something more I retesting grabs my attention I will quit no problem. It’s an online video game the commitment shouldn’t be that big.

I also play EA UFC the commitment to an online game is like 5-10 minutes maybe. With a quick KO it could be 1 minute. The commitment of time to a 9 inning ranked game or even 6 inning event game can be a lot and the chances of something coming up are very high. A phone call, a door bell, taking a deuce, having to leave because the extra inning game is going too long, so many reasons.

Anyway, taking the L is enough for me.

@Ryan_2713 said in top guys cant lose?:

beat a top rated player for this season. hit pretty for once and now my PS messenger is getting hit with insults. ramone helped me...... etc. can't you just take your loss like a man. definetly didnt cheese this guy into a loss. brutal to see this honestly.

Are you in anyway surprised. You hear all of the self proclaimed “elite” complain about how their input should matter more and how they should win more because non-Elites beat them. They are whiny and entitled. Good for you for sticking it to them

I think like all true big brothers...the big brother is us. We all now have extra time and are trying to hit up the market. Also if you are buying tons of a particular player. YOU ARE BIG BROTHER. When that happens nobody is buying at a lower bid. They are forced to buy higher than you. Then we all end up selling at a lower amount because we need to flip it because we know once you put your 10 cards on the market it will lower the overall price.

The market was cruising until I noticed dudes buying and selling like 8 of the same card. It just makes everything worse. Here is some market and stock market tips. DIVERSIFY your portfolio

With Lindor they are a legit contender. Bieber, Carrasco and Clevinger are three top of the line starters. A bounce back year from Ramirez and they are in the playoffs

To answer your question. No. There is no way to block the person. Honestly if the lag is that bad just quit. Losing points isn’t the end of the world. Why waste time if you are enjoying the experience

MLBTS 18 and 19 have epitomized mediocrity... at best. I know that this complaint is getting repetitive, but we need to go back to the MLBTS 16, and prior days, where user input was much more consistent. I'm a fan of having a game that is playable for everyone. However, having ambiguous outcomes isn't a good long term solution.

The problem with 16 was the fact that if you put the PCI on the ball with good timing it was a hr almost every time, which isn't realistic at all.

I don’t know about that but 17 was real good

That was laughable. That is a Rorschach test. I don’t see anything in there other than baseball games.

When i played with a monitor I started making WS consistently. That is why when people make the argument about how their skill should get them to win more i scoff. Monitors and internet connection impact results as much as skill

People are sleeping on Cobb

@eatyum said in Using openers in DD?:

I did once I got Newhouser and Kluber, it allowed me to see the person lineup and decide which one of those two would be best.
I stopped doing it once I got close to WS, but it was effective,

I guess it’s ok, but for some reason I have a loss of respect for this strategy. Feels unhonorable for lack of a better word

Rendon’s hitting is sick. His defense won’t hurt you. He also can play 2B

@nydonspal said in FOF Buxton:

Go with Soto and Gallo they both absolutely rake for my team even in higher ranks

I'm a firm believer in defensive stats over power. I'll take singles and speed some small ball over home runs and potentially making errors in the field

In real life I agree with you. In this game it’s all about blaring bombs

Part time grocery store job is $10 an hour/30 hours a week. This is equal to $300 or, even better 450,000 stubs!

I’ve crunched then numbers for a few hours and that’s enough stubs for michael trout. You may even have a couple thousand left over

Also grocery store people are the real goats during the coronavirus

you forgot about tax

And that is why he will be in debt.

@awesomeMIZg said in Community Market Lecture:

Okay whoever thinks it is okay to go up in the market by 100 or 1000 stub intervals is completely stupid. The market works like an auction, the idea of an auction is to get your item for the cheapest possible!!! WHO WANTS TO SPEND 1000 MORE STUBS?!? Especially when those 1000 stubs can go to another player! Go up in 1-10 stub intervals!

Question: How does this sound??

At auction
"Artifact being sold, starting offer?"
"I'll start the bid at 5 dollars"
"5 dollars going once, twice.."
"10 dollars!"
"10 dollars going once, twice.."
"200 dollars!!!!!!"
"200 going once, twice.."
"1500!!!!!"

This is literally the stupidest thing I have ever seen! AND it is happening on the community market as we speak. Please, that card you are selling is more valuable and you lose stubs or that card you're buying is not worth 100 or 1000 stubs more then what it is already at. Go up in 1 stub intervals, that is all I ask! PLEASE!

Your example is literally how an auction works. I'm confused. Besides the value of these cards are what anyone is willing to pay for them. If they aren't willing to pay the listed price, then that price will go down.

No..it’s not. Only on movies does someone go up by extreme amounts. Irl if you did that depending where the result may not be so good for you.

@DriveByTrucker17 said in Community Market Lecture:

Increasing or lowering the price by a decent amount can make the card buy or sell faster, that’s why most people do it.

But the lowest bid is what goes the fastest.

@tgn848 said in Community Market Lecture:

I'll sell my card for whatever I price I want. Thanks for your concern

This mentality is what is ruining America. It’s not ALL about you and what you want.

@Demicco2 said in Post your lineup:

Just curious to see who everybody has in their lineup. For me it’s

1. Helton 1b
2. Rendon 3b
3. JD Rf
4. Yelich CF
5. Correa SS TA
6. Soto LS
7. Sanchez C 2017
8. Gleybar 2b TA
9. Pitcher

It varies depending if I am trying to get affinity but here is the lineup that is built for winning:

CF Henderson
2B Vet Alomar
1B. Vet Giambi
3B. Rendon
RF. Granderson
LF. Stanton
SS FF Gleyber
C 93 Pudge

SP: Cole, FF Ohtani, FF Snell, Morton, Sale
RP: Kahnle,Anderson, Giles, Hendricks ,Wood, Chapman, Rivera

I got Judge cuz I wanted to finish ALe. I barely have him in the lineup. Stanton, Martinez, Victorini and Grandy are more productive. If you scored more for homer distance Judge would be a no brained.

Working on ALw. Or as I like to call it the hunt for Trout. After I finish AL. NLw will be my first stop. Saving for Belli. My goal is to have Belli, Trout and Ricky until I get Mantle.

Judge strikes out a ton. Plus he is so [censored] tall that super high pitch is a strike. Good good and perfect perfect are almost grantees bombs
