Watching MLB: If "This" Would Have Happened In The Show Thread

Re: Watching MLB; If "This" Would Have Happened In The Show Thread

The regression formula in this game is ridiculous.

Signed Andrew Miller in the offseason in my Cardinals franchise - he was a 91 overall. Now two weeks into the season he’s already regressed to 86 and I can’t get anyone out with him!

Sucks that SDS nukes these guys’ attributes as soon as they turn 34.

Injuries are broken and way overdone in this game. I’m not even 10 games into the season in my Yankees franchise and I already have 11 players on the IL! Ridiculous. 3 of my SP’s including my ace, one of my top RP, my starting 3B, a CF, two SS’s, an OF that’s one of my best players, and that same OF that’s always hurt anyway. How is that realistic?

Don’t even get me started on the garbage sim engine in this game. Cubs are 1-6 and Red Sox are 2-7! Would never happen irl. 2 of the best teams in baseball playing like the Marlins, terrible. If that’s not enough, CPU logic and budget system is broken too. CPU never signed Kimbrel, one of MLB’s best closers! And he’s only 30! High rated players should NOT still be sitting in the FA list during the season.


Franchise is overall just broken, please get these issues fixed ASAP SDS! Won’t be playing anymore until then.

Hate to break character, but I've been watching baseball highlights like crazy. I do it at the beginning of every year, asking myself "can I do this in the Show? Is this what playing the game feels like?" It's part of my process for building sliders.

A lot of people are complaining about fielding this year, saying there are to many errors, meanwhile I'm asking "Does this errors slider go above 10?"

Seriously!

It's obvious SDS just wanted to get more sales so they make these bad teams look good. Probably so DD players who like the O's buy more stubs or something.

And I mean, really. Chris Sale with a 8 ERA right after he signs an extension? Like, at least the game could be subtle with it's rigging. Not like "oh you signed your ace, now he's AAA fodder...k thx "

And then the audacity of Price, an AL pitcher, getting an RBI, it's like...stop making fun of my Red Sox...

But Betts, one of the best outfielders in the game, can't make a simple play? I shouldn't have to use sliders to make a routine catch be, you know, routine...

If it keeps up, I will not only boycott MLB19, I'll never touch this stupid series again. I want to play real baseball, not arcade 8-bit baseball with 3-D models!

Why is this kind of stuff rewarded in this game SDS?!?!?! Hitting takes no skill.

This place would've gone bananas if that happened in the Show.

I'm fine with Crush Davis' power rating but I might have to edit his contact rating. I've gone 0fer 49 and that would never happen IRL

Fielding is broken in '19

Mookie gets stuck in some weird new animation, and he misplays a ball that is easily catch-able, and then he and JBJ allow a fly ball to drop in between them.

I am not sure what you guys did to the outfielder animations, but you broke two 90+ rated outfielders.

I’m fed up with this game. I’ve been playing my carryover Mariners franchise since MLB 77 the Show and I can’t seem to win. Its been almost 20 seasons since I’ve been in the playoffs! EVERY time I draft and bring up a 99 overall player, they make it to free agency and no matter how much money I offer them they go sign somewhere else. The AI with this game is totally bugged.

So this year I said screw it. I’m playing on Rookie/Rookie and beating up the league. So far I’m 11-2 and on pace to hit 87 home runs with Jay Bruce.

if every pitcher in the league were left-handed, that pace jumps to 177


also, MLBTS 77 might be my favorite version of the Show. I keep waiting for the M's to wake up & smell the Starbucks & relocate to OKC

Anybody else having trouble playing with Chris Sale? His velocity in the game is WAYYYYYY off.

Also, stealing second is nearly impossible in this game, but was playing against the Jays yesterday and Gurriel Jr. (Spd 66) stole home against me.

Glitttttch!!!!!!

Re: Watching MLB; If &quot;This&quot; Would Have Happened In The Show Thread

If Chris Davis manged to get ONE hit, I'd say alright cool whatever. Now three hits in one game?

Obviously the game is broken. Totally unreal.... oh wait he actually did that? Well then.

Re: Watching MLB; If &quot;This&quot; Would Have Happened In The Show Thread

This game is SO broken, or these sliders are crap. Phillies playing Marlins and Marlins put on a hitting clinic against me. No way. Just cant happen!! No way Miami walks away from Phillies like that.
