People use the "bat flips are fun" argument far too often. That's all I'm saying. You're dead-on with the idea the game hasn't evolved, certainly in comparison to the NFL, where it's, as you can, barely recognizable. Baseball wanted to keep its mystique and the poetry of its history, and didn't consider the notion people…
When the pitcher is a utility infielder, and you know he's going to groove a 60 mph fastball down the heart of the plate, yeah, it toes the line of respect and sportsmanship. They're up by a dozen runs later in a game. They aren't having him pitch because they are trying to remain competitive. And if that's your primary…
So I have an outfield of: Ohtani (L, 380, vs R/Late) Marte (B, 360, Blowout/RISP) Meadows (L, 340, vs R/Close) Grossman (B, 340, First pitch/On base) Verdugo (L, 330, vs R/On base) Naquin (L, 330, vs R/On base) I have two good SSs: Polanco (B, 360, Late/On base) Crawford (L, 340, vs R/Close) Polanco is the DH. I figure for…
It's a reasonable amount of resources in a winnable game. As much as I enjoy and appreciate it, that formula isn't going to last, and we all know it. We'll see it sped up to what it's at in practice soon, along with a bunch of "GREAT PITCH!"es hit for singles with the bases loaded.
@Thunderstormer ML is a switch hitter w Vs R skill at 8%, leveled to S10. He can't beat any 8-10 pitcher in WOH. I haven't beat woh yet this year, and not for a lack of effort. I've been told repeatedly it's because the level I'm at makes it extremely difficult to beat. I'll usually get to 5.10 a few times but I'm never…
I have Arenado and Ruiz. Neither have been great (Arenado is Miley's b1tch on 2.10 somehow). Still need a big R bat, and am debating leveling Kiner-Falefa, but just got Meadows -- a better WOH option than Marte -- so probably need to just invest in both and push back plans to move to gold. EDIT: nevermind, just got…
LOL A cool feature of the game that destroys the experience because of a bug that won't be fixed...that's like the Hall of Presidents remaining open despite the fact Jimmy Carter's robotic likeness randomly attacks SOME visitors.
This is literally what I said. I agreed with you. They saw the thread, saw him comment, told him to shut up, and he did. And you're exactly right, they aren't getting involved with anything like a side game/competition (I work in digital media, the headline "EA Sports promoting side-betting tournament" would get some…
There's your answer. "My bosses told me I can't comment on this" is him commenting on it. His involvement means it's a game-sanctioned event. Lots of stuff go into that distinction, whether we all think it's relevant or not. His silence is most likely intentional, and we should take that as an answer, not from him, but…
There's a direct correlation between those who don't want to pay anything for the game and their longevity in the proposed tournament. I agreed to play with the hope of there being a cool prize for the winner. I can fill out the field to help compel the game to offer it up. No way I'd win it, but I wouldn't choose to play…
I've never gotten close to the pity timer, but I'm at 11 of 14 and I'm wondering how the odds would be distributed on that 14th box. Not spending 1,200 to find out though.
There's a direct correlation between one's control over the decisions made at the big swinging dick-level of this game, and the consistent posting in this forum. Elon Musk isn't hanging out in a forum responding to complaints about his product. By just an eye test measure, there are maybe 50 people posting regularly here.…
Wish I read this before buying. Grisham would have been nice. Bxp in 8 of 10, 1 (junk) player and pxp. ...and now I'm totally on board with just shutting it down because, after spending 10s of thousands of gold on my team for three months, the game won't let maxed Prime Arenado with 22 percent boosts beat something called…
"We can't assume..." "See, that's the thing. We shouldn't be able to assume it. If I can bet all my gold and all my invested xp on the re-roll producing what I initially got, I would, gladly. That's the problem, and that's why I'm writing in."
