Re: Armor & Sword & Marino’s MLB The Show 18 Classic/Directional Simulation Sliders

Yankees 8 game winning streak was snapped with an 8-4 loss to the Rangers.

It was 8-1 heading into the top of the 9th when their reliever Jeffers walked Judge and Stanton back to back then served up a main street fastball to Gary Sanchez who promptly deposited it into the LF bleachers for a mammoth 3R HR to make the score respectable.

The Yankees got bad news as they had to place SS Didi Gregorious on the 10 day DL with Knee tendonitis. Didi was playing through it but following the 8-4 loss his knee was swelling up and had to be drained.

2B Jorge Mateo was called up and Recently re-acquired SS Gleyber Torres will get the starting call at SS on Didi’s absence.

I watch some of the replay of your last game. Why did you switch didi injury from 2 months to 10 days. I was just fast forwarding through and saw that.

Probably part of his storyline.

Yea I figured. I was wondering if he does that with most of the injures he has. Maybe because with injury on 9 he is seeing to many Severe injures. I don't play with injuries on 9 because I seem to lose multiple guys for months. I didn't even know you could change the injures. I may put injuries on 9 and if I'm seeing to many long term injuries i can move them like he did. I know injuries are part of the game but i hate when half my team is on the dl

Re: Armor & Sword & Marino’s MLB The Show 18 Classic/Directional Simulation Sliders

I had a pretty cool ending to my game last night. So once again my braves were on a 4 game losing streak and have stopped hitting the ball after a month of June were we absolutely crushed the ball. So I was out hit by the brewers 14-4 in the game. But in the top of the 8th I had 2 outs acuna at 2nd in 1-1 tie. Ryan shimpf at the plate who btw is a absolute hr hitting machine. He hit a sinking liner to short that the short stop miss plays the ball goes bouncing off of him and trickles into shallow center. I figured since I wasn't hitting at all in this game I was going to send acuna home for the lead. So acuna rounds 3rd flying home and beats the throw to score the go ahead and winning Run in a 2 to 1 braves victory. My Pitching staff worked around a lot of hits and got out of a lot of jams. I thought it was just pretty cool to get out hit by that much is still hold on to win the game and snap a 4 game losing streak

Because it was the oddest thing I have ever seen. He did not get hurt during the game. After I exited out of the game all of a sudden they tell me he fractured his shin! Yeah really? When? Walking to the bathroom after the game ended?

So being that it is my universe I whipped up a two week storyline injury of knee tendinitis.
Unacceptable for me to absorb and 2-3 month injury when I play every inning every pitch and it did not happen in the field of play.

I have never ever seen that happen in the 10 years I have played this series.

Damn that is crazy I've never seen that before either. I figured it was something crazy. I like that there is a option to change the injures. Maybe he was pissed the winning streak was snap and he kicked his locker. Lmao.

Yeah very weird. Whenever an injury occurs on the field while I am actually playing the game, I fully accept.

Ohtani broke his forearm pitching. Out 1-2 months

Jarrod Dyson Fractured his hand sliding. Was out 1-2 months

If I decide to sim a game or quick manage I drop the injury slider to 6. If anything happens in a sim or QM game I accept it.

But this was strange!

Maybe it was fractured at some point in the game but didi didn't say anything and played through the pain thinking he just bruised it. Then went and saw the trainer bc it really started hurting......

Mmmmmmm that is plausible. I never even thought of that. I mean you could fracture your shin and it could be just a hairline fracture and feel like a bad bruise.

Well then that settles it.....I am going to have to reverse course here.

Yankees Year 2 Injury Update

We reported earlier that SS Didi Gregorious was placed on the 10 day DL with knee tendonitis. Well the Yankees recived some bad news. Didi was also complaining about a bruised shin he suffered after getting spiked turning a double play in yesterdays 8-4 loss to the Rangers. After taking some X-Rays a hairline fracture was revealed. This is a huge blow to the first place Yankees. Time line for his return is 30-45 days.

Rookie Gleyber Torres will now take over at SS in Didi’s absence. The Yankees expect Didi to be ready to return before the All-Star break.

This is crushing news to Didi who was currently having an All-Star season in his contract year. He has a large lead in the All-Star voting through almost two months into the season. Rookie Gleyber Torres who was recently re-aquired will be pushed into significant playing time and will now have a chance to prove himself as being Major League ready. The Yankees are battling injuries here early in the season but have not slowed down. The depth of their farm system is now going to be on full display.

I must admit, u always say sample size is key and to trust the sliders. You will get hot and cold streaks. I have complained about getting killed in pitching with the A's, but for the last 10 games or so, everything has clicked and my pitching has been amazing. You were right. Just got to stick with it even during cold streaks and trust that everything will balance out when u play out a whole season. Thanks for the great work with these.

I have it at 5 as I don’t want too many injuries to my team and the cpu teams. I also have a house rule that the maximum injury is 3-4 weeks. If an injury occurs that is more than that, the player gets a “break” (pardon the pun) and I remove the injury like it never happened.

What I don't like with injury at 5 is there's too many players playing over 157+ games and it's inflating the stats a bit.

By example, I had a few test run I did where Stanton, Judge, Sanchez played 156-158 games each with 40+ HRs. IRL Stanton played 159 ( but only 119 the year before), Judge 155 but Sanchez 122.

In real life, most of the players will miss a few days here and there (other than for fatigue) or will be at least once on 10day list.

It's just my 2 cents and after all it's a video game and you do what you want to do. As you said you can always revert an injury you don't want !!

That’s a very good point, never really thought of that. I’ve never come close to completing a season so never had to deal with that. The reason for my rule - I remember one year in my Yankees franchise A-Rod (my favourite player at the time) tore his hamstring in the 2nd game of the season and was out for 6+ months. I didn’t want to play the whole season without him. And another time I was heading in to Texas for a series and 3 of their best players we all injured for at least 2 months. I wanted to play against those guys. So I made my house rule to reduce the severity of injuries. But you are right, it could skew the stats the other way as not too many player play more than 155 games in a season
