I'm the best at anticipating pitches and smoking them foul
I'm also the best at telling myself not to swing at change ups below the zone, then ignoring myself and swinging at those things

Does the pitcher shot gun a mountain dew and smash the can against his head before he strikes you out?

Just got my high diamond pack at prestige xp level 45. Wanted to pick the highest priced guy to sell. Thought Betts was at 147k...Hes 14.7k. I don't know why I'm the way I am

I faced a guy who kept sending me voice mails. Like wtf, I don't want to hear your creepy voice, out of breath, asking me to help you prestige Belli. Send a text message like a normal human. Also do it in the event, not ranked

I think the point is to have fun with them. The Bo card is maybe the only legit card of the bunch. A lot of the hitters can mash but are really slow or not great defensively. Most of the pitchers have good pitch selection and per 9s, but have less than ideal velocity. I like that it gives us playable cards from teams or players we like that otherwise wouldn't have a high diamond card.

I pop out more than I ground out bc I usually try for Home Runs and I have noticed that lately, I am getting more IF pop ups on good timing with the ball at the edge of the top of my pci

I want to see what TA4 is

I faced a guy who tunneled with Giolito so well, I thought the game was broke.

Purple Saphire Roy Oswalt. That's right, I've double prestiged the dude

Fellow The Show players, I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails. When we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship - but that is not this day, an hour of showdown, before the world of Men comes crashing down - but not this day. This day WE FIGHT!

Never thought I would die fighting side by side with bunt cheesers

@MarinerMatt01 said in How’s This Ranked Season Treating You?:

Because for me, this has been the one of the weirdest seasons I’ve had in the four years I’ve played Diamond Dynasty. I started out winning 9 of 11, then lost 10 of 12. At the beginning, my games were pitchers duals, now everything is a 10-8 slugfest. My rating has ranged from as low as 390 (yup) to as high as 852 and is currently sitting a little above 800. Has anyone else been experiencing this much of a dichotomy this month, or like a lot of things, is it just me?

Same for me. My overall record was like 12 games under 500. To start this season, I got it to 5 below 500. Started like 8-1 and was in the high 700s. Then came a terrible spell. My overall record was down to 17 games below 500. My rating dropped to the low 400s. Then kept winning one losing one. Been on a mediocre streak recently and am back to 730 or so. I

@Chuck_Dizzle29 said in MLB The Inconsistency:

The RNG results windows are to high. My personal favorite is a ball completely in the top portion of the PCI with good timing can be anything from a pop up to the C to a HR.

The pop up to the catcher is very frustrating. I feel like the game has trained me to be slightly early with the ball in the upper portion of the pci. It's what I'm trying to do every pitch , just have to laugh when it's a pop out bc other times the same thing produces a 500 foot misile

I just had a second d/c loss in a row. The first disconnect, I would have lost anyways, so I didn't mind. The second one, our connection was good, so I was actually hitting ok. We were tied at 7 in the 10th when I lost connection during what may have been a Tatis walk off HR with a runner on. It definitely had me cussing

To all the above responses

1. My very vocal elderly cat, who I swear recognizing when I’m about to start game, started whining and poking me the second the game started, which is why I asked for the friendly

2. Isn’t waiting for the timer in and of itself a shady tactic

3. If everyone is so annoyed by it, just don’t accept the friendly quit and we’ll play. Waiting for the timer to run out just wastes both of our time.

4. As stated above, people that sit on the decision generally show me what kind of player they will be during the game.

5. It’s just a stupid and shitty thing to do. Are you really that offended by the request? Jiminy criminy, get over yourself.

Just pause the game and feed your cat, then come back and play. And if you score a run, try to refrain from messaging your opponent, "bet you wish you took that friendly quit now." Because generally that's how it goes with the friendly quitters before they ultimately get taken to the woodshed and become dashboard quitters

The cat comes first. If he wants to play, I’m shutting off the game. I would just rather have the person accept or deny the fq request so I can get on with my business instead of running the timer just because i dared to offend their greatness with the request.

And I agree, messaging someone to rub it in is one of the worst things you can do in this game and is a good way for karma to come back and take you behind the ethereal woodshed

Now I'm jealous of your relationship with your cat. Our cat seems generally annoyed by myself and the kids. He just does his thing and only interacts with the family if we have forgotten to feed him

@raesONE said in Such a great game:

Entering a BR game, only 3-0 so not deep in a run yet, during the line up screen the game crashes. Blue screen, with a CE error code which I can report. Boot the game back up, guess what.. I took an L.

If this happened to me at 11-0, I would've instantly deleted the game and never ever bat another eye towards future installments. What a joke.

This happens to me when I don’t power my console down and use rest mode. Presumably something to with the cache, because I’ve also noticed after a while of not rebooting and using rest mode the game plays absolutely terribly, almost like a bad connection game. I can’t hit the ball until I’ve rebooted.

Thanks for the tip. I use rest mode a lot and the game plays like [censored] for days at a time. I'll try clearing out the cache and start powering off

How do you know if you are facing 99 wagner or 94?

Go into the pause menu, go to the team statistics (?) and hit triangle to bring up the Player Card screen.

I never think to do that. When I see Wagner, I just clinch my cheeks and try to guess location lol

I never notice it. Is it mainly a distraction on day games? I play there but choose night games. I know which one your talking about, but I dont notice it when I'm hitting

It's bad both at day and night vs. LHP, night is worse though

Well, that's not good. I dont have any lefty starters atm, but Crochet and Wagner are my best relievers. Maybe I'll switch to Barnes Canyon. I'm not trying to cheese people.
