Me playing a ranked seasons game: I’m so frustrated, I want to die. I’m never playing again.

Me five minutes after turning off my PlayStation: That wasn’t so bad; I think I’ll hop into another game.

Hey everybody,

I am attempting to flip some cards to make some money. I need everybody else to stop doing this. You are free to buy cards, but I need you to stop selling them. Thanks. Also, if we happen to play online, don’t throw me fast balls. I can’t hit them. I also can’t hit sinkers, or splitters or sliders or any type of curve. Or forkballs. Don’t throw those either. To be on the safe side, don’t throw me anything. Just stand there.

Way too many good okay results on perfect responses with perfect punctuation.

Pulse option might be good for you.

Do pitches go where you direct them using pulse? If so, I’ll definitely try it out. Using analogue, I’ll get a good release and position my ball in the red circle on the way back up and it will go broken arrow on me. Do you use pulse?

I use pulse because I’m a lazy [censored], and it works good enough.

Lazy and Good Enough are words that have shaped much of my life thus far.

Just lost a 16 inning game. It was tied 1-1 going into the eighth. I scored one then he scored one. In the 11th, I scored two then he scored two. In the 12th through the 16th, I went three up three down while he got a runner on 1st and 2nd everytime. How he didn’t score in those innings is beyond me. In the 16th, Frank Thomas hit his patented early rollover double off the 3rd base bag. And he won off a bloop hit that poor Mike Trout had to fight through molasses to get to and then had the slowest throwing animation I’ve ever seen. Plus, I had to pee super badly the entire time. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go change my pants.

Rickey is my favorite player of all time, but I feel like he performed below his stats last year. I think the smart bet is to take somebody like Kluber first...so I think I’ll probably take Rickey.

On a thread with multiple replies, is there a way to have a feature where all the previous replies are collapsed except for the last reply? And then if one wanted to, they could expand the other replies as they saw fit. My scrolling thumb is plum worn out.

Absolutely no DOUBT in my mind Orel will be the reward here. They know we want him, and they know we hate moment

A 99 Orel would be the only thing that would make me go through the pain of another extreme...

how about a real life Orel if ya know what i mean - giggity goo

Some people are worried about Orel’s stamina, but honestly if you get tired you can just switch from SS Orel to SS Fingers.

Something something something Pujols.

“The subhumans at corporate...”

Maybe one of these corporate types could have a A Christmas Carol Moment where they are visited by three baseball ghosts and are convinced that the game should focus on quality of gameplay instead making everyone feel miserable. I’m thinking Jackie Robinson for the ghost of baseball past, Mike Trout for the ghost of baseball present, and then Peyton Manning for the ghost of baseball future. I really like Peyton Manning. Maybe Tony Lasorda can play Fezziwig. It will be awesome. And Little Billy won’t die of polio or whatever it was tiny Tim had.

But this is the second time I’ve pulled Springer, and I’m just devastated. It’s like sneaking down In the middle of the night on Christmas Eve because you think you hear Santa, but instead you see some over weight [censored] all dressed in red pouring gasoline all over your Christmas tree and presents. Please, SDS, please change the card reveal animation for George Springer. Of all the ways you all have found to troll us, this is, without a doubt, the most sinister and despicable. No offense, to George Springer personally.

@Harrisville318 Stop feeding the troll. These guys disappear if you don't @ them

Yeah I know eh, I hate Trolls too.

Do you play your F1 game online like an eRacing type thing? If so, how does the game play? Does it have dedicated servers? If not, have you heard from others in that gaming community about how it plays online? I tried playing one of the forza games online and it was not great.

I never played played The Show 17, but a lot of you have said it played really well. I was doing research on server fidelity and I came across this article about 17’s server issues at its onset. https://www.usgamer.net/articles/mlb-17-the-show-online-server-woes-continue

Do any of you all remember this. Were most of the issues resolved? How was the gameplay? Any 135mph pitches?

Are pitch speeds online designed to be faster than their offline counterparts e.g. all star, hall of fame, etc. or does your connection with your opponent cause an unintended increase in speeds? Has anyone from SDS ever commented on this?

Connection with your opponent does matter. You simply can't match someone with fiber in the middle of the country to someone wireless in Florida and it not be a bad experience. Would be great if 95 actually looked 95 all the time but won't until ping based match making is done. This is why you will see the same people on the leaderboards. They have the same [censored] internet.

I would bet a large sum if ping indicators and ping based match making is ever implemented people like pitching will not be 250-10. He would still be good, just not 250-10 good which would result in him probably quitting the game.

So I assume that when the game freezes during pitching that there’s something activating in the programming to try to equalize the experience so that there’s no freezing from the batter’s perspective. Beyond matchmaking based on ping, is there anything else that programmers could do to balance out the experience?

I’ve played one ranked seasons game with him on all star and he threw a 9 inning shutout. Next game he could give up 50, but for whatever reason he was lights out that game.

You should try to find a couch co-op game you and your son could play together. That could be a lot of fun.

It would be nice to know the stub value of all my cards combined in my inventory. Part of me is tempted to sell all of them to buy most of the big live series guys and then work backwards in attempting to get Mantle.

Chipper Jones is like this too. Hitting is just different with him.

Can we go down to 5 innings?
