I've tried strike zone hitting but I just can't do it. I'm sure if I just kept grinding I would get used to it but I didn't feel like I was getting a good view of the ball. I faced Verlander today using it and I struck out like 15 times because I couldn't pick up his slider. My opponent just kept burying sliders and I couldn't lay off because he mixed in enough fastballs at the knees that I could not tell the difference. I know Verlander is a beast but I know I can do better than that.
Primarily I've been using The Show 15 with pretty good results. After really struggling to hit this morning I went into BP and messed with custom cameras and I think I found something I like for now. It's The Show 16 but slightly tilted to give me a better look out of the hand and I definitely feel like I was able to see the ball better. Gonna roll with this for a while and see how I like it.
The Posey situation is weird for me. Like stat wise he's not THAT much better than Santiago offensively he just has more pop. I got on base with Santiago at a decent clip but that was mostly Conquest so who knows how he would play online. I'm not gonna snap sell Posey and I didn't lock him in just in case I do want to make a change. I would swap him out for a while and see how I hit with Santiago before selling.
And I think I decided I'm gonna pony up to finish the Yankees collection. I pulled Judge early and I've been doing exchanges for Gold packs and I pulled every single Gold Yankee except Paxton and Severino. I bought Paxton in case he spikes this weekend even though I don't see that happening. Worst case I don't think I end up losing too much. Severino I have a buy-order with the rest of my stubs and if I'm able to get him at that price awesome. If not I'll end up just getting him at market value but leaves only Chapman and Stanton. Gonna wait and see what happens Friday before making any purchases though and see if I can get them cheaper.
Chapman would potentially bump Alvarado although he's done well enough. Honestly I really like my pen and not sure who I would even bump. Would seem a waste to buy Chapman and not use him. Stanton probably goes to the bench as a power bat although I would consider bumping Griffey for him.
Really I just want that Robinson Cano card. I love hitting with the LS card and the AS version is better in every way. I bumped Albies for Cano and immediately starting hitting with him again so I think this is the plan. This works for my team better than just buying Freeman to finish the Braves. I've been scared off from Spahn because of the windup and I have Bellinger already who should get a healthy bump.
