I was also thinking that if a good portion of those 761 games were when keepers were overboosted (to 528 max or whatever it was) that would muddy the water a good bit. When his hit rating was above 500 vs. pitchers mostly under 300 stuff, Mantle would do just fine. However, now at 390 he may struggle to break the seal and…
I'm beginning to suspect that Socalhiker actually works for Glu/EA. In a matter of one weekend, he has decreased my empathy level for the non-vip jailing issue exponentially while simultaneously compelling several other veteran players/posters to speak out in support of the EA appointed VIP Council, EA appointed…
I'm a little torn on this, but I think I like where they have the ATG odds currently. Obviously I'd like to get every player I want for cheap, but for me the best thing about TSB is pulling that ATG knowing it was far from guaranteed. With every ATG available for 2 weeks and box odds over 1%, pretty much everyone who…
500 box went up 1.5x (.5% to .75%), 250 box went up nearly 2x (.2% to .35%). You don't have to like the odds, but they definitely got better. Nearly a 5% shot at a legend in the 500 box now moving forward.
Hard to say since they don't track it, but sac flys could cause OBP to be below BA (it counts as a plate appearance but not an AB). That said, it's definitely possible the formula they use is just off somewhere, I've had players have more hits than ABs several times (for example, 13 for 12).
I think at this stage it's really about stacking players with good cvc skills on teams with cvc/moments, that 30% boost is just yuge (Tigers, Rays, Pirates, Phillies, Padres). Currently my EB lineup is 2 Pirates, 3 Tigers, 3 Padres and my average EB sim is around 1M even with 5 of my 9 being 500-540 primes. I was also…
I took a reliever this year (610 Wagner) and it's worked out well for me the way that I play. My strategy early in the year is get my team to the bare minimum to advance to diamond while accumulating resources that I can maximize when I buy FP and do my jump weekend to diamond. Wagner was so good early on (especially his…
I mean he had to be built for CVC/EB due to his moments or he was never going to be elite at anything (same with Cobb), so I get the blowout skill. However, the man on skill is disappointing. I guess they didn't want to replicate Cobb exactly with the same CVC/EB focused skill pair but even double blowout would have been…
I still think the base moments are great, adds a new layer of strategy that can make otherwise unusable guys useful in certain roles. I really hope the base moments return in 2022 (and i assume they will). That said, the special, point specific ones could use and adjustment or potentially be ditched altogether. I could…
I'd be cool with that too. But I was kind of thinking they would actually start jailing/substantial suspensions for evidence of 3rd party software now that they've made an approved auto-tapping method available for purchase. I say this under the assumption that Glu can identify people using third party tappers, they've…
At this point if I'm Glu, having already made the decision that taking a hard line on tappers will cost me revenue, I would try to add structure to it and monetize. It reminds me of what the gov't did with weed; if it's too costly to police it, you might as well add regulation and make some money on it. It seems easy…
