@joshjays44 said in I went back to 19:

The hitting is better in 20, more in tuned with user skill...you prolly like 19 because its for beginners prolly...I guess we all had to start from somewhere. Keep practicing and maybe when you're gonna enough you'll graduate to 20.

That was rude and condescending for absolutely no reason.

Since SDS did not change hitting this patch, they must really find this amusing.

Ever notice that almost no one complains about their opponent not being able to hit well? When it is your opponent hitting poorly it is that their skill isn't very good. But when you do not hit well it is the system that is broken. Ever notice that almost no one complains when they are thrown pitches down the middle? Has anyone ever posted, "I am getting way too many pitches right down the middle"? Again when you get pitches down the middle it is that your opponent isn't very skilled, but when you throw pitches down the middle it is the pitching system sucks!. And mostly, almost no one takes into account their players abilities. Guess what? Some of your players are going to do better than others no matter how good you are. Mike Trout is going to hit better than a random common player. Crazy, huh?

That's one of the biggest problem with Moments, we do not get to use our DD teams much.

I only caught a tiny part of the stream, but I did see them talking about the prestige diamonds and how they were using them to respond to the requests for the return of some of the stat grinds. Except that in my experience, 95+% of the people asking for stat grinds were offline players looking for more to do than just play Conquest over and over.

As someone looking for better things to do with my DD collection without having to play H2H, was there anything new in this stream?

Showdown is entirely offline and made to be a BR type experience for offline players

Showdown does not use your DD cards, which is what offline players want, a way to use your collection offline. Offline players really have no reason to collect cards at all.

@raesONE said in This was a hidden patch:

I'm skeptical, but maybe just because the sample size is so small still

My first 3 opponents quit. And the ball off the bat is way smoother and better

The pci also looks smaller on allstar.

Exit cells are higher. Game is better trust me.

If 3 opponents quit, then hitting apparently was not improved for them.

Ok Ramone

Dude ask anyone I am the number one critic of this game.

And you will be again in 24 hours, or when the alcohol wears off.

The better players complained and demanded more skill separation so that they could win more often. That lead to more difficult hitting and home run or nothing play. Enjoy.

@joshjays44 said in 1.09 Patch Discussion:

See guys?, the ones complaining and making silly posts about fielding will never get fixed?.....use this post to apologize

Apologize for them not having it right at launch? They need to apologize. We are the customer.

I would take 19 again over this garbage. Huge money grab for SDS with very little effort to make the game better for the players.

The topps now? There are moments. They take 30 minutes in total. I’m not sure that is what you are asking about though.

@Ikasnu said that he spent a home run challenge card on Bryant, and is hoping he goes yard today. What does that mean?

He must be talking about Home Run Derby cards. There are like 7 of them.

Nope.

@The_Icon148 said in Home Run Challenge cards:

How about we use real up to datw players?

How about you read the thread?

I read the thread. If talking about cardboard cards then this thread needs to be elsewhere.

Yelich doesn't start, but he is a great pinch hitter for the pitcher against righties.

I use live Yelich. He is a beast and no other version of him yet.

@PAinPA said in Completely ridiculous how moments are. One strikeout!:

Only tough one was the kike one ,and only because of terribly slow rookie pitch speeds compounded by a changeups thrower.

Those slow change ups seem to defy gravity. I do not know how they can be that slow and stay in the air.

CAP for me. At least for now. He is my best hitter. I think the key is finding your CAP the best swing for you. I do wish there was a catcher replacement though so I could sell all of his gear lol.

@CubsFan708 said in Does anyone have that one player you just can't part with?:

Jorge soler. I don’t get it. In 400 abs he’s batting 424. If he ever had a decent card he would be crazy good for me. His launch angle on his swing is best in game to me

After reading your post and your username I’d like to say, I’m sorry

Sorry for what? Or are you just needlessly insulting a guy for just giving his opinion?

@jcassaro44 said in Does anyone have that one player you just can't part with?:

Dan Plesac

Right? For an 87 that card is great! Also, I went to school with Dan. Graduated Crown Point HS (Indiana) with him the same year. Still friends with him to this day.

For me it's 91 Ty Cobb.
I got lucky with the flash sell packs so upgraded my team tremendously and now my starting lineup doesn't have anything lower than a 97. Cobb just consistently performs for me. Granted I gave on h2h and now just play the computer but I bought 99 Tony G as he had always been one of my favorites growing up but I had no luck with him hitting, in 13 games I had one hit where as Cobb is hitting near .500.

Cant wait for 99 Cobb. No card in the game I want more than that card.

This year’s game its (99) Ernie Banks and (99) Larry Walker.

Both those cards are easily end game for me. Any upgrade to them would be out of boredom, not performance. Those two cards get it done for me.

I also really like my prestige Mantle (I should-haha). I’m not sure if they boosted him out of complaints early on, or I finally just learned to hit with him, but he is an absolute monster for me now.

Honestly, I love my team.

I need to try 99 Banks! Could you post what your starting lineup is? I’ve got Larry Walker though and he’s great for me in the two hole. Don’t know why I put him there but it’s been working

(RF) 99 Larry Walker
(LF) 99 Al Kaline
(CF) 99 Mickey Mantle
(1B) 99 David Ortiz
(3B) 99 Eddie Mathews
(C) CAP
(SS) 99 Ernie Banks
(2B) 97 Robinson Cano

This is my current group of starters.

Looks good!

I do the exact same thing with Walker. Love him in the 2 position. I didn't think he would hit so many home runs though. The guy is a beast.
