wait, so you're saying they won't offer a prime pitcher in the events until you have every prime batter? seriously? i don't even know why i'm playing this game anymore.
i really want lincecum. wonder when he's gonna be offered. i don't think verlander's 9/9/10 is the best pitcher, either. high arm and stuff + control being at 6-7 is the best, imo. high control is probably easier to hit.
duffy and pineda are really surprisingly good. i actually lost of the first time in a long time to a human who pitched pineda against me. everytime i thought i was going to crush a pitch, it was just a weak ground out. he's very deceptive despite his very low velocity. also, i don't think 9 stuff = best pitchers. fernandez…
the best player for me is jose abreu. i think performance will vary between players based on chance, but it'll probably be one of abreu, tulo, or v-mart.
gotta go with uribe. contact is the most important stat. his power isn't much worse than arenado, either. i used arenado for a long time; he's a good player but his average was just under .300 for me. i think uribe should hit at least .315 with similar power. pablo is a distant third, here.
reyes is a beast...one of the best 4 star players imo and someone i used for a long time. with that said, hanley would be a nice upgrade because of that huge jump in power.
i honestly wouldn't mind if they make a new game (TSB 2015) but i would want some kind of way we could bring some of what we have now to the current game. i doubt they'll give us anything, but losing everything and starting over sucks. i don't know if i would.
for whatever reason, chapman did really well for me when i used him against the computer (even with 1 control) and did pretty well against humans at the lower levels.
interesting discussion. yes, santana as a sub is a waste, but there really is no where to start him. i always use trout. he hits .330 for me and has a 1/13.5 HR/AB ratio. i start brantley instead of harrison, actually, because i want altuve to lead off and there's a dumb lineup glitch that has harrison bat over altuve.…
nice job! felix hernandez is the BEST pitcher against the computer. almost 1000IP for me and he dominates the computer and does fairly well against the legends. but from my experience, he only does decent against humans; not nearly as good as guys like sale, madbum, cueto, darvish etc.
they really do need to let us drop players. also, i think i'm covered for the future. i have every 3-5* player so it's likely i have all the players that are gonna be upgraded already.
pretty sure yusimero petit at 4.5 stars is the worst. while back i had him and he got bashed mercilessly. whenever i see him, i crush him. he's terrible in the game.
i agree about bumgarner. sometimes he gets way too strike happy when i face him and i can string several hits together. but he's much better than kershaw, imo. sale is tough to hit but of course gets crushed by the legends.
wow, surprised jansen has been doing so poorly! he's doing really well for me against humans. i used grilli for a long time and he did very well for me, too. fernandez and tanaka are too easy to hit. kershaw is the most hittable 5 star pitcher, imo. i love seeing him. i'd say 2/3 of the pitches he throws are hittable…
from my results, i find darvish and fernandez to be very hit or miss against the computer. sometimes they can have great outings, sometimes they'll get destroyed. i think this is because of the low control for both of these guys; the computer will have them give up several walks sometimes. against humans however, my…
anyone have an opinion on king felix v. jose fernandez v. tanaka? how would you guys rank these guys? from my experience against them, tanaka seems the most hittable. i have three rotation spots locked down with cueto, darvish, and sale.
maybe it's a small sample size, but sale has an ERA over 5 for me in about 100 innings pitched. he gets killed by the legends and he was getting hit up by humans as well. the best lefty so far for me has been lester. i'll probably make an assessment after a couple hundred more innings. the best pitchers for me overall has…
i haven't gotten tulo yet so i've been running out santana, harrison and altuve, and i'm really liking this lineup. santana is a beast. trying not to get attached though. i'll probably play around with the lineups.
